CASH = BALLS

Nobody doubts the fact that money, can get you almost anything, anywhere.

But not everyone who invests knows that.

The common refrain: Start investing young, let your investments compound, you got a long runway.

But that's not the right track. It sets you up thinking that any time, is a good time to invest.

The right refrain: Work hard, save up your money, invest when your basics are take care of.

But nobody understands why. Why is it so important to have enough savings to tide you over when an emergency occurs. Or simply when an investment goes south overnight.

Because without cash, you got no balls to hold.
