I saw that other post about the actor getting paid 10 mil and just putting it in the bank and living off interest. Why exactly is this bad? 10 mil with interest is enough to live on for the rest of your life... why risk the safety by investing?
Well you'll lose money over time compared to inflation, guaranteed if you leave your money in a bank while investing in the stock market isn't quite that high risk of you if you diversify all of your investments

Bank interest is slow af. I put my saving in Acorns and it makes me more in a week than my Bank did in a month.

Is that because you're constantly contributing to it?

No it's not. After counting for inflation you are losing money with the current interest.
It would be wiser to put them into a passive index fund which have lesser risk. This might not be the smartest of moves right now as the stocks are all time high.
