    I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

      Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

      Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

      Just research the name Angela Lynn Schilling. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

    Ecclesiastes 9:11
    11 I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.

    Highly recommended reading! I’m fairly new to your channel, but thanks for sharing your videos, along with thoughts, experiences, and advice. I’m almost 53 and I know I’m one step, one day closer to a bear stressless living. I know I’m blessed every day. Thanks!

    I've read this book several times and I'm sure I will read it again. When my son started earning an allowance, I had him read it. He's 19 now and has a significant start on a down payment for a house. The Richest Man in Babylon is a classic - and should be required reading for anyone starting their financial/investment journey.

    One line from the book really hit hard because I know I'm the person he's talking about. "Others... hoard their wealth, fearing to spend what they have, knowing they do not possess the ability to replace it."

    My experiences so far:
    01 - sometimes this can be challenging, mostly because I'm not always sure where to look. But I do like looking for opportunities where I can, particularly in exploring new ideas.
    02 - I'm all about self-investment. I strive to always learn new things, try new things, and improve everyday. It's why I'm doing a PhD.
    03 - I follow a system called "Ready Fire Aim". Ready Aim Fire doesn't work for me, because I get stuck at aiming. And it's not like I can only shoot once.
    04 - I always seek advice from people I know are experienced and accomplished. Not hard to find in academia, particularly in a prestigious university.
    05 - I'm still honing this one. I have a lot of time though, so no rush on this one.
    06 - I always pay myself first, no matter the circumstance.
    07 - Minimalism helps with keeping needs low.
    08 - I'm fairly risk-averse when it comes to money, so this is right up my alley.
    09 - Same with the aversion to risk, I play it safe with security as well.
    10 - Enjoying life in grad school is admittedly a bit difficult. But I'm doing my best.
    Cheers, Tae!

    Great video. I've been listening to the audio book over and over again and it's great to hear an overview on it from someone else. I've been putting away atleast 10% of my income but I have no idea how to invest it to make it reproduce. After this book I feel like I have to do serious research before I invest. I don't want to lose my earnings

    I was struck with schizophrenia when i was 14 in a family that literally never cared if i lived or died. I was psychotic for 50 years but miraculously healed when someone prayed for me in 2017.
    After 6 years of confusion and anger i think I'm finally " normal," and I would like to get rich, but let's face it at 71, I'll never live long enough to do it. That pisses me off !

      Hey buddy, I don't have a secret recipe for fried chicken , some chance of financial success when starting out after 65 is unheard of. There isn't a door on this planet I could knock on, and someone would say , " Hi, how are you?"
      There isn't one phone number I can call, and someone will answer with, " Hello Daniel." I am alone in this world after being alone since the 1960s. I'm living in a third-world country where I don't know what anyone's saying, in a one room apartment. It'd be difficult for me to return to the US, and if I could, I don't have enough money to live there. Since you know how I can make an enjoyable life on this earth, in this situation, please explain the plan to me.

    The funniest part of the book is the jarring section where the writer has to make a character foresee that life insurance should exist as a necessity for wealth in the future. Otherwise it is really engaging.

    Alright book. Good beginner book high schoolers working their first job should read. My biggest take away being pay yourself, every time your paid vs everytime you pay for something, your also paying a company…. Like I’m not just buying Taco Bell, I’m paying Taco Bell, do I really want to pay Taco Bell vs pay myself 😆 that said! Obviously enjoy your money too

    Inspired by The Richest Man In Babylon & Jesus Parable of the Talents
    I shoulda sought more but I buried my head up my assets
    Sitting on my money when bees be hustling for that honey
    It ain't funny.
    All the plantating makes me sore, like my back for sure
    when the billwhip cracks a little more...
    Don't lay Ur money in store, roust it about put it to work
    Make it make money multiply, don't be a broke joke jerk.
    Keep 10% what U earn. Invest in gnohow that's wise
    Make it make money multiply all the days of Ur lives.
    Budget emotional desire. Educate urself higher.
    Guard future against costs. Live for gain and not loss.
    Tossed Ur salad days of youth. Don't even sweat it.
    Start today w/ what U have you won't live to regret it.
    Bet it makes a difference, syke, gamblings for suckers.
    Live Ur life w/ balance.
    Make the most of Ur God given talents....

    Money does not bring happiness and contentment. I know of two couples who.r well off financially and r miserable. When u put money before family and relationships it's called obsession and that's not healthy. They r never happy with what they have. It's always more, more, more.
    Also they r narcissists.

Do you make the sandwiches for them when they finish? And you clean up the mess? It wasn’t clear from your last video. Thanks man, keep up the content
