Do you have what it takes to make it in the stock market?  Depends on your situation.  Do you need money to make money?  Why am I always struggling to make ends meet?  Take a Pause!  FREEZE your life for a few moments and really do a deep dive into your spending habits, your debt status and scrutinize your areas of spending to answer one very simple question; Do I SAVE more than I SPEND.  What is the difference between my expenditures.  What are sunken cost vs. luxury costs?  Should I use a credit card?  Can someone help me please!  You bet.  It's humbling to self-evaluate but for those who have the courage and discipline to see this through, the light at the end of the tunnel will be life changing but we need to get there first and this is the first step. #IndependentInvestorPodcast
