This episode debunks three common investing myths based on Dr. Ryan Anderson's newsletter. It addresses the belief that you need a lot of money to start investing, that investing is always super risky, and that you can successfully time the market. The discussion highlights the power of compound growth, diversification, and dollar-cost averaging, emphasizing "time in the market" over "timing the market." The episode also touches upon psychological biases like availability bias and overconfidence bias, underscoring the importance of making rational decisions.

• You don't need a lot of money to start investing: Small, consistent investments can grow significantly over time due to the power of compound growth, making investing accessible to everyone.

• Investing risk can be managed through diversification and long-term commitment: Spreading investments across different assets and staying invested over the long term helps mitigate risk, as market trends show overall positive growth despite short-term fluctuations ("time in the market beats timing the market").

• Avoid timing the market; focus on consistent investment: Employing strategies like dollar-cost averaging (investing fixed amounts regularly) helps average out purchase prices and removes emotional decision-making, ensuring long-term growth and discipline.
