I’m not into it either. Even though i have multiple degrees in Finance and work for a financial services company, i can’t bring myself to invest my leisure time into investing. Which is why an index fund is such a great idea. A casual/inattentive investor is far more likely to lose his shit than to outperform an index. And as people have said, buying a managed fund means you’re paying for someone to manage your money that usually won’t beat the index over the long run either.
