Breaking Down Bad Social Media Financial Advice

Investment decisions should always be contextual, reflecting individual circumstances, goals, and values rather than following generic advice from social media. One person's ideal investment could be completely inappropriate for another depending on their financial situation, risk tolerance, tax position, and time horizon.

• Investing isn't one-size-fits-all—a $50k investment means something different to everyone
• Generic investment advice fails to consider personal circumstances and values
• The "trinity" of investments (risk, return, liquidity) can't all be maximized simultaneously
• Buying a business often means buying yourself a job, not passive income
• Real estate isn't inherently safe or consistently profitable without careful consideration
• Self-directed IRAs are different from self-managed accounts and carry additional complexities
• Tax planning should inform investment decisions, especially regarding Roth vs Traditional accounts
• Investing in yourself often provides the best return on capital
• Time is perhaps the most valuable investment of all—consider how you want to spend it
