Passive Investing vs Active Investing: What Makes Sense for Most People
Many people hear about passive investing (mutual funds, REITs) and active investing (stock picking, trading), but are unsure which approach actually makes sense for them.
This in-person, small-group meetup is a relaxed, no-pressure discussion to help working adults understand the real differences, trade-offs, and expectations behind each investing style.
There will be no sales pitches, no product promotion, and no obligation — just practical sharing and open discussion.
What We’ll Cover
* What passive investing really means (and what it doesn’t)
* What active investing involves in real life
* Time, effort, cost, and risk differences between both approaches
* Why most people underperform when choosing the wrong strategy
* Common misconceptions about “beating the market”
* How people realistically combine both approaches
* Open Q&A — bring your real questions
This session is beginner-friendly and uses simple examples instead of technical jargon.
Who This Is For
* Working adults and young professionals
* Beginners curious about investing
* People who feel confused by online investing advice
* Anyone deciding between DIY investing or guided approaches
No prior investing knowledge is required.
About the Host
I work in financial planning, focusing on investments and risk management.
This session is educational and discussion-based. There will be no product pitching during the meetup.
For those who wish to continue the conversation after the session, that is completely optional.
Format
* Casual introductions
* Short sharing session
* Open discussion & Q&A
* Free networking after
Group size is kept small to encourage meaningful conversation.
Notes
* This is a physical, in-person meetup
* Venue: Punggol Coast Mall
* Please RSVP so seating can be arranged
* Feel free to invite a friend who may benefit
Looking forward to a good discussion and exchanging perspectives 😄

————————————
Engaging in men’s work is the new way to forge friendships while being open-minded to personal growth. Many men experience healthier relationships, personally and professionally, by engaging in this work.
Open Men’s Group is a container for men to share vulnerably without receiving judgment or feedback.
We believe that emotionally mature, powerful, compassionate, and purpose-driven men will help heal some of society’s deepest wounds. We support the powerful brilliance of men and we are willing to look at, and take full responsibility for, the pain we are also capable of creating – and suffering. We care deeply about men, our families, communities, and the planet.
Visit ManKind Project USA to discover more. https://mkpusa.org/
Recruiting Virtual Mental Health Group Leaders!
We are recruiting new group leaders for virtual men's groups! Our primary groups are outdoor movement groups, but we are launching virtual groups for the state of Ohio and beyond and the groups will move outside in the spring, creating room for men's groups, women's groups and coed groups all over the country.
Read below to learn about our groups and click the links at the bottom to apply.
### **What is an Outdoor Empowerment Group?**
Our Outdoor Movement & Community Empowerment Groups are simple, guided experiences designed to help people reconnect with nature, themselves, and others. We combine some form of movement (hike, walk, run, bike, yoga, workout) and meaningful conversation within a simple community circle to create a space where individuals can support each other while prioritizing mental and physical well-being.
Whether you’re seeking stress relief, personal growth, or community, our groups offer everyone a unique and welcoming environment.
## **Why Join?**
* **Improve Mental & Physical Well-Being** – Movement, nature, and supportive conversations reduce stress and promote balance.
* **Feel Less Alone** – Build genuine connections with like-minded people in a safe, welcoming space.
* **Gain Clarity & Perspective** – Step outside daily routines and into a space designed for personal growth and reflection.
## **The Ideal Group Leader**
The ideal group leader
* Has a born-in passion for mental health, movement, connecting with nature and building community.
* Has 5 extra hours per week to dedicate to a meaningful cause for at least one year. Yes, you can leave any organization at any time and we can also ask you to leave, but we are building with legacy in mind and we need people who can commit and be ALL IN on this mission to build with us.
* Is independently financially stable with the ability to volunteer with no expectation of pay. This is a deeply beautiful journey of service that all participants commit to at Speak Your Mind.
* An ability to manage groups with high emotional intelligence and desire for human connection.
* An ability to self-motivate and market/promote their group on Facebook and other social platforms.
* Nature informed therapy or clinical therapists/psychologists a plus.
## **Our Impact**

Since launching, we have helped thousands find support, connection, and healing through our Outdoor Movement Groups. 100% of participants surveyed have reported:
* A noticeable improvement in mental clarity and emotional well-being.
* An increase in social connection and a sense of belonging.
* Said they would return again.
We believe mental health should be accessible, community-driven, and rooted in nature. Join us and take the first step toward a more connected, grounded, and supported version of yourself.
### **Why Our Groups are Donation-Based**
Our Outdoor Movement Groups are made possible through a donation-based model. This approach allows us to keep our events accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances, while also ensuring that we can continue expanding our reach. It’s a great way to pay it forward and support the growth of this beautiful mission!
Every contribution helps us:
* **Cover Essential Costs** – Donations allow us to pay essential legal, marketing, insurance, and admin costs as well as nourish the important people who run the organization.
* **Grow Our Mission** – With your support, we can bring these healing experiences to thousands more people in the future and execute our long term plan to expand across the USA, affecting up to 500,000 people per year.
By choosing to contribute, you’re not just leading an event—you’re helping build a mental health movement that supports long-term well-being and connection for all during a severe mental health epidemic.
## **Come Join Us!**
We’d love to have you be part of this growing community of people prioritizing their mental health, movement, and connection.
