The stock market will never make you wealthy.

Finally some real advice. Good one. Except the stock market will benefit you if you're a corrupt Gov suit or CEO/top investor type. But for 99.99% of humans the stock market is in fact a total scam. The entire economy revolves around cheats and liars. Best to just check out and find minimalist lifestyle options. Fictional entertainment is cheap when you know what you're doing. Fiction is better than our corrupt reality.
Real life is for evil overlords and all the losers who continue to play the game to benefit the ruling class evil overlords. You go out and do anything you get taxed for it. Or you can stay home in your Monk cave and game with free mods while enjoying free anime streaming and free podcasts. That's how you save money and build wealth while also only working 15-20 hours a week like I do. If I work more it all goes to taxes and female voters anyways. You may think it's a sad life but realize that ancient cavemen would be in Heaven if they had gaming PCs for entertainment. As well as waifus for female company and companionship. Waifus who aren't trying to sell just their pussy for a cut of your T-Rex steak you worked hard for.
I don't even own or waste $100 a month on a girly smartphone device. Smartphones are for girly hands. Yet so many idiots own them for some reason. You're wasting your wealth on overpriced Chinese garbage. Instead of investments and stocks I advise retiring the trashphone and use a home phone or older solid flipphone. As a bonus the flipphone and home phone has a keypad for manly thumbs instead of delicate finger tracing which is only makes sense for female consumers. You immediately start saving $100 a month. I only pay about $5 a month for flipphone minutes. The phone itself was $30 because all the braindead normies want the fancy smartphone for idiots. Then they buy $500 coffee makers with wireless internet. Tons of people could improve their finances if they just stop wasting their income on these overpriced nonsense consumer goods. For example how in the world did the concept of the tablet device ever arrive? We have the phones which are basically a smaller tablet. Then laptops and gaming PCs both of which are far superior to tablets. So how do these tablet devices even exist? Martketing/brainwashing. So I also advice you always use Adblockers to free your mind from propaganda to waste your money.
