    Money is not meant to control people, rather it is meant to be put to work producing more money for you. You cannot build wealth without putting money in its rightful place...

      I feel sympathy for our country, low income people are now suffering to survive yet inflation and recession keep increasing daily, many families can't even enhance the good cost of living anymore. You've helped me a lot Sir Brian! Imagine I invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days

      Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.

    I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 53 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 56 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Abby Joseph Cohen. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.

    The avg. American is having a tough time, I know I am not alone. There are others in same position as me. By certain statistics: 22% of americans have no retirement savings. 64% are worried that they will not have money in latter years while 47% of adults who are not yet retired think they have to work part-time in retirement. How can I best grow the 100k I have saved seperately outside retirement access which of course had depleted over the years?

    I’m not sure if I’m intentionally frugal, but I just don’t find the NEED nor DESIRE to want a lot of things. Don’t get me wrong, when I see family and friends with shiny new things, I think they’re pretty cool and am happy for them, but when it comes to me, I’d honesty rather just save it, invest it, and grow it. I still satisfy my NEEDS which feels very aligned with my WANTS, so nothing feels feel like a sacrifice. I’m really happy with that. Maybe I’m a simpleton.

    Absolute pure truth. What has allowed me and my wife to save and invest for and eliminate all debt (except the mortgage) was frugality in its purest form. While friends and family are doom spending into oblivion while calling us misers, I'd like to that we're just alot more wiser. It's unfortunate that being frugal is not going to help much with out of control inflation, groceries, and $850,000 homes (median price in our county) frugality can only get you so far but it's a start..

      The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

      Effective personal finance management is more important than the amount of money saved, regardless of whether income is earned through job or investment. Individuals can seek counsel from a certified financial advisor to optimize financial outcomes, who can provide specialized advice and methods to decrease expenses and maximize income.

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.

    It’s true the more money you have the more problems it can bring you. You spend on unnecessary stuff which creates clutter. Just be careful what you buy and how much you buy. Just use some common sense and don’t overdose on spending money. Just buy what you need. I didn’t learn this until I saw how much stuff I had and didn’t use.

    People need to live on 50% income & save/invest the rest. Young people have no idea how prices change over time. In 1976 when I was 21 a Big Mac & fries was $1.20 now price is $9.79. Dollar stores were called five & dimes because things were 5 or 10 cents. I could live on $10k a year, the same lifestyle now cost $70k and only because I don't have a car payment, would need to add another $10k if I had a new car + insurance. A person in their 20's will need to plan for $10 million retirement fund if they want to maintain same lifestyle and eat a $80 Big Mack & Fries 40 years from now. I didn't understand in my 20's why grandma was eating cat food on a cracker, now I do.

    Alas, I wish the drive towards frugality was organic like it was before 2020. Living on less can be very satisfying while making you rich when you divert consumer spending to investing. But it's really being forced on people thanks to out of control government spending driving inflation through the roof. If the economy doesn't get better in the next few years we'll be reliving the frugality of the Great Depression. This is where people scrimp and save just to keep their heads above water.
