I once decided to dip my toes into the stock market, armed with nothing but a smirk and a few online articles. Picture this: me, confidently clicking “buy” on a company whose name I couldn’t even pronounce. Fast forward a few weeks, and I was left staring at numbers that resembled a rollercoaster more than.

I remember the day my niece looked at me with those wide, innocent eyes and asked, “Why don’t we just print more money if we run out?” I stood there, frozen, my coffee cup halfway to my lips, realizing I hadn’t an ounce of wisdom to offer. Here was this tiny human, who believed in.
