Diary - Yesterday, my mum bought a book

[Maybo]

This is an entry from my diary. Please check it and correct any mistakes.

Yesterday, my mum bought a book about stock trading and asked me to read it. She has been living by buying stock for almost twenty years. She thinks that it's time for me to learn investment so that I could earn more money against inflation. I'm not good at numbers so I'm not sure if I can do it. However, my mum doesn't good at too. Maybe I take a look at the book to see if I like it first.

Yesterday, my mum bought a book about stock trading and asked me to read it. She has been living by buying stock for almost twenty years. She thinks that it's time for me to learn investment (to invest) so that I could earn more money make my money grow against (as a way) to beat inflation. I'm not good at numbers so I'm not sure if I can do it. However, my mum doesn't good at too. Maybe I should take a look at the book to see if I like it first.
