I remember being in my mid 20s talking investing with an older guy at the gym. He gave me the usual lines, buy low, sell high, invest in what you like. At some point I asked him to explain what that actually meant. The conversation fell apart pretty fast. He struggled to explain it, and I was asking questions that were really just trying to confirm what I already believed. Reading this, I can see how a structure like this would have changed that conversation.

Thanks for sharing that story, Andrew. There are a lot of times in my past when this would have helped me sort things out quicker.
I’m old enough now all I have left are stories lol
Great read, and really appreciate this read.
