$FTT In China, the vast masses have two dreams of getting rich: the first is to buy lottery tickets, and the second is to buy stocks and speculate. As far as I know, the probability of earning 5 million through lottery tickets is one in ten million, and you also have to pay 20% tax, so you only end up with 4 million. This means you need to win 5 million eight times to achieve financial freedom, a probability equivalent to that of you mutating into Spider-Man; therefore, achieving financial freedom through the lottery is unrealistic.

The other path is stocks and speculation, a difficult yet reliable way to get rich. I believe that friends who enter the market without systematic learning and purely gamble will not have a much higher probability of achieving financial freedom through speculation than through the lottery.

Every lottery player has the same probability of winning 5 million, but the probability of financial freedom is different for each investor. Some people have a 100% chance of achieving financial freedom, some have a 1% chance, and some have a one in ten thousand chance.
