You’ve been tossed into a Wall Street battle this past week and your head is spinning with the words “short squeeze”, “robinhood”, “hedge funds” and you’re pissed that you didn’t make MILLIONS!
Stop! Let’s show you why this isn’t your concern right now.
Through manipulation of the stock market, some “retail investors” (people like you and me) made a ton of money and exposed the decades long corruption of the stock market. And while a lot of people really did make millions, don’t get caught up in thinking that this is what you need to be doing.
This is the LAST THING you need to be concerning yourself with!
This article from the Washington Post is other side of the coin; the amateurs who have also lost thousands of dollars in this process.
When it comes time for you to invest, you can’t focus on getting rich quick or day trading because that’s not important for you right now.
You’ve been led to believe that investing means shouting in the pits at the Chicago Board of Trade or on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange.
The truth is your way to financial security will be the opposite.
Boring and uneventful.
Listen…
I wasn’t going to cover this subject for a while, when you’re starting out as an artist there are more urgent financial needs you need to consider to get on your feet. With Robinhood, GameStop and get-rich-quick pipe dreams made headlines last week, I knew some needed to clear something up for those just starting out.
Your way to investing for retirement should be slow and steady.
(If the mention of the word “retirement” just blew your mind right now, then you’re in the right place! )
I decided to start talking about this because I didn’t learn these things as part of my dance education . Last year I mentored two new college graduates and believe it or not…programs STILL aren’t teaching this crucial stuff!
You already know that making money in the arts is hard, but you’re not told WHAT to do when you start making it! And because our incomes are expected to be so low means we need to know MORE than other people!
Are you in debt after school?
Are you wondering about life after college on an artists salary?
Sign up below for my financial journey, things that nobody told me, but might help you pursue your career. I went from making $400 a month to being featured in a New York Times Bestselling book on personal finance for the gains I’ve made in my retirement account.
YOU can do this, too, and you need to be learning about it NOW!
