*not financial advise* The stock market has been a total disaster since 2021. S&P500 down 20+% last year and so is nasdaq. However, there are still ways to make money in it. To start, you have to pick a company with good underlying fundamentals. This is also called fundamental analysis.
Here is an example of many you can do. Take a look at a company's financial report, look for their free cash flow, if they are cash flow positive, then pit it against their total debt. The question you are asking here is do they have the availability to pay off their debt. If yes, then that's good. If not, then ask how long can they last until they run out of money? Let's say for a shitty company like Nikola, they only have enough cash to stay afloat for 6 more month. Then you know that within these 6 month, you would have to 1, do a stock offering that will dilute their shares, meaning stock going down, or 2, borrow more debt, which will put pressure on the bottom line with extra interest payments. So just by doing this simple and quick analysis, you know that this stock is gonna tank. And guess what, they just recently announce they will do a stock offering that will double the current shares outstanding, or in simple terms, a $2 stock will turn into $1 stock afterwards. When you have this kind of knowledge, then you probably won't invest in it and lose money.
*again, not financial advise, don't sue bro*
Set yourself some rules when you're on a budget. If you can, make sure to leave your phone at home/car and take cash with you especially when you're doing MLs as it's hard to control yourself when the extras unexpectedly pile up. I try to set myself to 10% of weekly income. I like to purposely restrict myself so that I can focus on goals to obtain more financial freedom to pursue this hobby further.
Good luck to you…
I’m already pretty bad going 3-4 times a week..
Good thing these shops don’t accept credit cards… if they did: id increase my credit limit and go everyday for a year. I’d be like Leo in The wolf of Wall Street spending his Amex card on “EJ Entertainment” and his dad yells at him about it.

Yea, these things take time to build. It never happens over night. But also never too late to start.
I remember when I was young and single, I would try saving up to 70% of every pay check and try to live on the other 30%. It was very very uncomfortable, but doable. Another thing that is helpful in building wealth is invest in yourself, especially when you are young. Spend the time and money to take a course or earn some kind of license. Then suddenly you can provide way more value and get better jobs/earn more.
They do accept credit cards? But with a surcharge?! Oh F that! Nope.
Yeah. 3-4 times a week lately. BUT I do live within my means and I do the 50/20/30 rule. I still save money with every paycheque and I go see girls with the 30% wants money.
I highly recommend 50/20/30 rule.
Exactly right I take a portion of my dividends payments which are kept aside for punting and the SB and use all the franking credits to and the rest is reinvested. Also buy safe asx stocks lower and sell for a profit plus do my own online selling so I got financial freedom. I don't know how the guys on here with a regular job and no investments, punting 3 to 4 times a week are having any money left each week?
Yup. Saving money every fortnight and then investing it into something = wonderful passive income $$$$ to go out and have some fun with girls.
50/20/30 rule:
Each paycheque:
50% = Needs (bills, rent, food etc)
30% = Wants (iPhone 14 Pro, new shoes, fun with girls!)
20% = Save! (I usually save more than 20%, I also save all the money I didn’t use from the last paycheque.)
Plus: all the money I have invested, I take the interest I made from it and I use it as my extra money to “have fun with girls”
