Nice one! - I actually have a clip on the back burner about wealth, money and a bit of practical advice from various sources. In essence it conveys an approach which involves saving as much money the first 10/15 years, investing all of it in real estate, and living the rest of your life in freedom. As opposed to spending your money and being forced to work the rest of your life. Making it applicable to pretty much everyone is difficult as the country you live in can heavily influence how much money you can actually save and how reliable the return/rent is of your investments. (I.e. in countries, or area's where land is cheap and plentiful it's a lot more difficult.) Anyway, while working on it a while back I found this: ''A groundbreaking 20-year study conducted by wealth consultancy, The Williams Group, involved over 3,200 families and found that 7 in 10 families tend to lose their fortune by the 2nd generation, while 9 in 10 lose it by the 3rd generation.'' (Also called the 3rd generation curse.) People are so focused on the accumulation of money that perhaps some of them tend to forget that holding on to it is the tricky part. The thought that you spend your entire life focused on gathering wealth, only for it to be gone soon after you're in the ground… It's a bleak perspective. And it makes you wonder how such a thing can be prevented. (If it's even possible.) In a way you begin to realize that the real endgame is not 'the grind' but the safekeeping of it. I'm sure we all know similar examples of this. Where a grandfather spends his life gathering things (classical cars/motorcycles/art, etc.) and as soon as he's gone, his children auction it off and spend the money. (New furniture, a new kitchen, expensive vacations, a new car. We've all it heard it before.) In essence it only takes his children a few years, at most, to devour what their father sacrificed his entire life for. Unfortunately, this is a lot more common than we would like to believe.
This made me think of an old Gundam clip - ruclips.net/video/MSq54f2JT_U/видео.html - Some guy pretended to be a model on dating apps, who committed the most heinous and immoral crimes. And even though he openly admits to committing those crimes and treats the women very poorly, they still wanted to sleep with him simply because of his looks. It's so incredibly outrageous, if this guy didn't actually had proof, nobody would believe it. Truth really is stranger than fiction.
I remember that clip, and upon revisiting it just now, I'm reminded that holding onto the things we value is essential. Perhaps especially so when it seems that the sentiments I attempt to convey are often the exception rather than the norm. It's easy to get lost and lose hope in all the negativity we find online. I guess in a way, with Aurelius's say, darkness is kept at bay. Thanks for watching. I wish you all the best!
