If you became a millionaire from trading stocks/options/what have you, then I imagine it was worth it.
But for the rest of us, that's not going to be the case. Right now I'm maxing out my taxable accounts and have a lot left over that's just chilling in the bank (aka not working for me).
I've always been very interested in the science of money, and was drawn to finance, accounting, economics like many of you, but ended up with a career in software engineering so there's not a lot of overlap for me to learn more about stocks and investing.
But I know that a lot of people, people smarter than me, have spent lifetimes stressing over the stock market with little to show for it. I'm thinking about tossing my $ in an index fund and not touching it for 5 or 10 years, but that's not very sexy.
To those of you who actively invest, but aren't making millions, what advice could you give to myself and those like me who don't have a lot of time to put a very concerted effort towards investing.
