Hi there @buttonn, thanks for the thoughtful comment!

At a somewhat later point in life I also got good investing advice from my elderly auntie; she was "self-made" and a keen stock market investor. Her advice was always to "stick to what you KNOW, and do it really REALLY well!" rather than trying to chase alluring high-flyer possibilities.

Although some of her wealth was inherited, that didn't come till later in her life and most of her financial security was her own doing.
