Here’s a pretty good rule of thumb for avoiding scams and BS investments:
The stock market averages 6-7% long term real returns with very high volatility. If someone is guaranteeing more than that you should automatically be VERY skeptical and probably run for the exit.

Have the courage to fail, dust yourself off, and try once more."
Many don't have the privilege and opportunity you might have.

In life, you can choose the tests you take—even if they always play to your strengths.
