Big idea: The first investment feels exciting. The second one builds your identity as an investor.

Your second contribution signals something powerful:

• You’re building a habit
• You’re creating consistency
• You’re no longer “trying” — you’re doing

Why the second buy matters

Your first buy takes courage.
Your second takes commitment.

This is the turning point where people move from dabbling to building long-term wealth.

It also reduces fear — once you’ve bought twice, the process feels familiar, normal, and far less intimidating. That comfort is what helps you stick with investing long-term.

Why should I care?

Because momentum is everything.
Your second contribution is often the hardest — but once you make it, the third, fourth, and fifth become easier.
This is how real investing habits form.

And habits (not one-off actions) are what build wealth.

If you’ve already made your first investment, imagine making your second — even a small one.

Think of it as proving to your future self: 'I’m really doing this.'
