2021 was a great year for me but one of the mistakes I made last year was not having a financial goal for my self, all I had was like a waste because their was no target for the year. I have Learnt my mistakes which won't repeat again this year. This I have already draft my an for the year and investing is one of the goals have set this year. I believe it is gonna all come out for good because I have set good goals this year.
Actually, not everyone believes in drafting out a plan/goal for the year, they just do things the right way and watch it work out or not for them, at least we all know what's right or wrong in our heads, we all know when we should save and not be extravagant, etc, but if you believe in setting/drafting out goals, then it's also fine, it also has its advantages as I feel it can make one more serious about actualizing the set goals, I wish you all the best mate.
Most of the time people lose their money in the markets because they are simply expecting too much out of them, they want to generate profits so quickly that in their attempts to make some quick money they get the opposite results.
We always have the "get rich quick" investors in the network, this are individuals that do not have any patience and they just want to get rich after a few weeks of investing, this of course will cause them to make mistakes such as choosing the wrong investment, or falling into the hands of people that will scam them, there is no quick money and until people realize that they will continue to lose money.
