People, including pool players, should learn how to invest, how to manage their money. A truck driver called "Money Talk", a radio show on money management, last Sunday. By working hard and managing well, he admitted to having a portfolio worth $1.2 million. He also mentioned that he did this by investing and NOT blowing money on toys like new Harleys.
Ahhh, but saving and investing is the opposite of what most pool players think. The pool community is full of Grasshoppers with very few ants around.
If Shane learns to invest and manage well, he could very easily be a millionaire by the time he ages out of pool.
I PM'd JAM, suggested she buy a book after she posted of Keith's residuals windfall.
I'd also give odds she ignored me.
This book contains many things Cindy & I had to learn the hard way over years of investing. It explains the investing world in an easily understood manner.
So, one more time...I'll list it for all here...and sadly I'll most likely be ignored:
The Bogleheads Guide to Investing
