The biggest investing lies keep people poor by making them afraid to start.

"You need a lot of money to invest"—false, even small amounts compound over time.

"The market is too risky"—long-term investing in index funds has consistently built wealth.

"Timing the market is key"—no one can predict highs and lows, but time in the market always wins.

The truth? The wealthy invest early, consistently, and with a long-term mindset—while the poor wait and miss out.
