Not investing all surplus

I've been prioritizing my expenses and saving for retirement over investing all my surplus, which has allowed me to build a sizable emergency fund and make progress on my long-term goals

What I wish I knew
"I wish I had started investing more aggressively earlier"
If I could tell you one thing
"Consider automating your investments to make saving easier and less prone to being neglected"
