You listen to a finfluencer or hear someone trot out financial jargon about how you can create wealth, and you are drawn in. The internet is a great place to learn new things, but it is also filled with misinformation. None of us has time to read the disclaimer that may be issued, and even when legitimate people speak, they usually address a broad audience with general information. Personal finance is personal, and your situation is unique. Even when you visit a bank or meet an intermediary who sells financial instruments, you could easily be influenced and trust their advice.
