Is the Stock Market Really Making Us Rich? Or Just More Broke? The stock market is a great tool to build wealth but only if you're playing the long game. Sadly, millions of young Indians are falling into the trap of making quick money through intraday trading and IPOs. Between 2022 and 2024, over 1.13 crore people tried intraday trading. Shockingly, 93% of them ended up in loss, losing a total of ₹1.8 lakh crore! And nearly half of them were under the age of 30, many trying their luck for the very first time. What’s worse? Many are taking loans at 20–35% interest from NBFCs just to invest in the stock market! This dangerous cycle of borrowing, losing, and re-borrowing is only getting deeper. Lack of financial knowledge is ruining futures before they even begin. Are we chasing profits or digging our own holes? Tell me in the comments do you think the stock market is still the best way to create wealth? Or are we going about it all wrong?
