There are no dumb questions. Seriously, I answer every DM.

😬 Is it too late if I’m not 18 anymore?
Not at all! The best time to start was yesterday—the next best is now. No age limit on getting smart with money.
🎮 Can I invest if I spend most of my money on coffee, gaming, or travel?
Absolutely! Just start small—smart habits grow over time, no matter your hobbies.
