Most people believe that when you invest in the stock market you will instantly become wealthy and that the world of finance is glamorous and chic. Haven’t you seen Wall Street?

Obviously there is some truth to this, investing your money in general is a great way to generate wealth. Whether it be in real estate, which has created more billionaires than any other industry, or in generic stocks and bonds. However, don’t buy your Ferrari just yet, as there are many success stories out there about getting rich quick there are considerably more stories about people who lost it all and then some, you just don’t hear about them.
