    Maybe if it’s just me, but if you’re unable to do the research to become financially literate after being gifted a $200k investment for free… I’m not really going to turn your problems into ill will for the person that gave it to you. Library’s are free.

      Lots of people “do the research” on such things and end up becoming things like sovereign citizens.

      That’s the problem with doing your own research with no one to guide you. That’s especially dangerous in areas like financial literacy.

      Most of those “houses” were three room shacks in third world countries. No way they were worth 200k. They were roofs over peoples’ heads yes, but not investment vehicles.

      And please, explain to a war ravaged town in sub-saharan africa financial literacy. See how that goes.
