You don't need a $$ course to learn how to invest

Talking about personal finance and how you don't need to pay thousands for a course to learn how to invest. You can literally teach yourself for free, or for very little.

So all these personal finance creators are really out here to sell you insecurity and the feeling that you need their $$ course to learn about investing, when you don't. That is how they make *their* money, and they need YOUR income to do it. I am not saying it is not worthwhile or valuable, but I am saying you do not need them if you choose not to go that route.
