<prompt> Human: Id love to hear how you guys got started in investing! Things like what your initial investments were, lessons learned, things you would do differently would all be very interesting to read! Im looking to start getting into investing myself probably with a few stocks.  <response>: Ive had too many drunk talks with very successful people at airport bars. Im talking executives and C-level people. A common regret they had was not saving for retirement. Hearing a successful executive talking about being scared for retirement made me think about investing in my future.
