## Resource

In the 1800s, the smartest financial advice your grandparents could receive was: don't save money, because it will probably go to zero. Stocks were considered scams. Real estate was the only real path to wealth. Crypto isn't the future, it's a replay of something that happened dozens of times before the Civil War.
