  • Lost $27,000 in failed trades at age 20

Why Financial Literacy Matters for Women

Many women shy away from trading or investing because it feels risky or complicated. But as Wei Xiang shares, the bigger risk is not knowing how to make your money work for you. Financial literacy isn’t about getting rich quick. It’s about creating security, independence, and options.

When you understand how money works:

  • You stop relying solely on active income

  • You gain the confidence to make smarter financial decisions

  • You build a cushion against economic uncertainty

Beginner Trading Tips (Even if You Only Have $500)

You don’t need thousands to start. Wei Xiang explains that with as little as $500, you can begin practicing the principles that build long-term wealth:

  1. Start Small and Learn as You Go – Focus on understanding the process before scaling your investments.

  2. The Two Golden Rules for Beginners – Risk only what you can afford to lose, and protect your capital before chasing profits.

  3. Track and Review Your Trades – Consistency beats luck every time.

The Mindset That Separates the Wealthy

According to Wei Xiang, wealthy individuals think differently about money:

  • They see losses as tuition - lessons that make them better investors.

  • They focus on risk management, not just returns.

  • They keep learning, no matter how successful they become.

This mindset is something anyone can adopt, and it’s often the biggest difference-maker in achieving financial independence.
