    Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

      Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .

      In fact, I had no prior experience or understanding when I began investing in 2018, but by the end of 2019, I had made a profit of almost $750k. All I had been doing was going by what my financial advisor had told me. This demonstrates that all you truly need is a professional to assist you; you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of work.

      Things are a bit strange right now. Inflation is making the dollar weaker for buying things like basic needs, but it's getting stronger against other stuff. So, stuff like stocks, houses and precious metals aren't doing so great because folks are putting their money into banks for safety but I'm worried about my retirement savings losing value fast.

    • @Damncars456

      If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets. It's better to hire a skilled financial planner especially if you're not one yourself. I hired one after my retirement pension took a hit in April due to the crash.

    Ken, I can tell that you are super fired up about this topic! Which is awesome! One day, I noticed several quarters sitting on my five year old son’s dresser. We never gave our kids an allowance so naturally I was wondering where the heck he was getting this money from. Turns out he had been selling pages from a paper airplane book he got for his birthday. He would let the kids choose a page and he would ‘build’ it for them for .50 cents. And if they couldn’t afford a page, he would make them a cool plane out of a regular sheet of paper for a quarter. 😂

    Get a pension from my work also.
    Between those accounts, surely I can retire with my dividend and passive income.
