[HOOK]
Most people who try to invest, in 5 years, lose more money than they make. But there's a simple way to guarantee the opposite.
[SETUP]

Step 1: Emergency reserve. 6 to 12 months of expenses in a high-liquidity asset. Step 2: Short-term goals. Step 3: Mid and long-term goals. Step 4: Pick your broker.
[SECTION: Rebalancing and discipline]
[~15:30]
A plan isn't set-and-forget. Rebalance every 6 or 12 months. And discipline beats forecast every time — bad days come, the urge to panic-sell comes, but your plan exists for that exact moment.
