Why Your Children May One Day Ask Why You Didn’t Invest in the S&P 500
Four years into my journey as a self-directed investor, I’ve seen no market match the S&P 500’s liquidity, resilience, and long-term returns.

To spare my children that question, I now invest consistently in the S&P 500. I pay myself first, spend less than I earn, avoid debt, and let compound growth do the heavy lifting.
