15+ Investing Tools and Guidelines to Make Life Easier

Investment evangelists often have a specific area of passion. You have likely already met a Bitcoin bro who wants to convert you to the wonderful world of crypto, or perhaps you have crossed paths with a real estate entrepreneur who is certain that now is a great time to buy up a bunch of properties. You nod along, listen to their spiels, and think it sounds great, but as soon as you get on a search engine and try to do your own research, you have already forgotten the specific details of what you have been told.
