My biggest mistake with investing…

Is being born too damn late to start investing…like damn I should have started investing out of womb with my chore money or something.

Jokes aside, this bull market is making me feel MASSIVE FOMO because I just got out of college and I can only invest so much with my limited income. I DCA ($50/week) in my personal brokerage account after my monthly Roth(etfs)/emergency fund allocations, so i choose to invest in riskier individual stocks with a go big and hopefully don’t go home mindset (moonshot hopefuls like NBIS/ASTS/ONDS/something with a lower share price bc buying fractional shares doesn’t hit the same if you know what I mean). But seeing some of these skyrocket in the past couple days meanwhile me over here, having only been able to DCA a meager $5-10/week per stock. Even if they were bought at big dips/lows, +100% of 5 is still only 10 and makes me nonstop think about the what-ifs like if I was born earlier and had more time to make money/invest. The only comfort I have is that the market isn’t normal rn or that I could have just as easily invested in something that crashes and burns too.

But I guess we all have to start from somewhere…Anyways hope everyone’s investing journey is full of wins and let’s all not retire at 75 if we can help it
