I run a site about investing in Japan and most people visiting are very investment savvy, have a NISA or equivalent abroad and put in a good chunk of their monthly salary in stocks/funds/bonds etc. (as you should). Since I started this site, people that do not yet invest have started asking me tons of questions, and they are genuinely very interested when I explain the basics.
However, I'd say that 80-90% of them don't commit. They might open up a NISA and put in some money, but almost always when I'm asking how it's going, they'll answer something like: "oh, haven't checked in months" or "damn, I forgot all about it"… And then they feel guilty and avoid talking about it.
This is so sad, and as a person who really want to help them, I'm so curious if you have any advice? Have you ever made someone not particularly interested in investing commit? Or maybe you were one of those people before?
