You’ll be shocked to hear this, but before I read JL Collins’ book “The Simple Path to Wealth: Your Road Map to Financial Independence And a Rich, Free Life,” I did not 100% understand the rationale behind my own stock market investments.
If you just went into a minor coma upon reading the phrase “stock market investments,” then this post–and this book–are REALLY for you. I too used to zone out anytime someone so much as said the word “stock” unless it was preceded by the word “chicken.”
So soldier on here, partner, and I’ll reward you with a Frugal Hound pic if you make it to the end–no scrolling without reading (I’ll jump through the internet and whack you on the wrist). Not gonna lie, I learned quite a bit from Collins’ book. I thought I knew what I was doing–being a fancy internet finance writer and all–but let me tell you what, I am all the smarter after reading this work.
