Financial advice? No thanks!: Successful investing without consulting

The world of finance and investments is like a big lion cage, and the average citizen who wants to spend his spare money is walking inside, naked with a bloody steak on his back.
Do you really want to get into this cage?
This question is pointless because you are already in it. You earn money, pay taxes, buy goods, you are a market participant, potential investor, and, inevitably, you are a valuable client for financial consultants, pension experts, and insurance agents of any kind. And, there is the government, regularly trying to explain to you how you should invest your money, what you have to do or leave so that you will have enough cash later on when you become a pensioner. But these guides and consultants have only one thing in common: they all want to grab hold of your money. Yes, especially the government. Politicians are always in need of cash. The authority wants to keep you weak, so you don’t run away once you check out of the working process. Because then you are still needed as a potential customer, that is, as a taxpayer. Most likely, you will not be a lion because it takes several million dollars in your bank account, which you probably don’t have. But you should at least try to get rid of the piece of bloody meat on your back so that not every one of these consultants can see at first glance: “Uh, excellent . . . here’s another victim that I can rip off!”
