Most of the ethanol in the body is broken down in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which transforms ethanol into a toxic compound called acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), a known carcinogen. However, acetaldehyde is generally short-lived; it is quickly broken down to a less toxic compound called acetate (CH3COO-) by another enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Acetate then is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, mainly in tissues other than the liver Not done in the gut …..
At my previous job the CEO called me greedy and egotistical when I wanted a raise from earning 10 bucks an hour. Claiming that I got more money than he did as he didn’t even take a salary from the company. But I could see that his car had 7000 dollar rims. Something I could never afford. He acted poor to not have his workers demand more.
Yep, he is a just a typical psychopathic CEO, who will lie, gaslight and manipulate others to gain power, he would pay you 1 cent per hour if he could find a way! CEO of a company not even earning 10 dollars an hour 😂😂😂 What kind of crack is he on thinking that any employee would believe that!
CEO? $10/hour? I don't think he was a CEO. Maybe business owner of a private company, but not a CEO. If you make $10/hour for a company with a CEO, you are never talking to that guy at all lol.
@@oscard9429 Did you watch the intro? They're still flaunting their wealth with private jets, the best seats at every major sporting event, expensive restaurants, private islands, and designer clothing. The issue is that despite clear evidence of them living incredibly lavish lifestyles they're saying "Oh, I drive a cheap car, live in a modest home, and live my life like a normal dude."
@@oscard9429 exactly.. people are acting like it’s only the ultra wealthy. we all do this to some degree. People will envy you if you’re doing better, you don’t want to show that you are and enjoy it silently.
They don’t care about how they look, Being visibly wealthy can attract attention, both positive and negative. Some billionaires prefer to avoid unnecessary public scrutiny or judgments that may come with conspicuous displays of wealth. They only spend on things that yields returns for them
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
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 beause I invested early ahead this time .
I have been investing in stocks for over 10 years now and I have made a lot of money. My portfolio has grown exponentially and I can't thank stocks and my advisor “Vivian Carol Gioia” enough for such an amazing way to make money!
Isn't it crazy that there isn't? I mean most of the super rich are known, they have one of the biggest impact of climate change they are 0.1% and own 90%, they influence local, regional and even global politics and they decide how many crumbs are left for the "plebs"... Yet amazingly we celebrate them and applaude them
“I don’t see in religion evidence of the mystery of the incarnation, but rather the mystery of social order. Religion associates heaven with an idea of equality that keeps the rich from being massacred by the poor.”
@itsaaron6423 Yes that's what people who resent the ultra wealthy have a problem with: Illiquid assets of monstrous value that are sitting idle and providing little to no benefit to its owner or anyone else.
@@Evdath imagine saying that and not realizing you’re fighting for people to allow their envy to dominate them and control their lives. What absolute folly.
I remember seeing something claiming that Warren Buffet clips coupons and I couldn't help but laugh. What a ridiculous notion. If I was a billionaire, I wouldn't even buy my own groceries, let alone waste my time clipping coupons for them. What a load of horseshit.
They'll say anything to keep the rest of us quiet and sedated about the terrible state of economic equality. If most people actually opened their fucking eyes to the obscene wealth these people have and how they attained it, "eat the rich" wouldn't be merely a slogan. And they know it.
It’s that kind of thinking that keeps you and most people poor. Wealth is a MINDSET! Warren Buffet got to where he’s at by investing every single last dollar he could possibly save into undervalued companies, mainly Coca-Cola. Had he blew his money on fancy cars, Yachts and women, he wouldn’t anywhere near as wealthy as he is today.
Point 3 is important: saying the CEO gets paid 200x what the media worker does is too abstract for folks to really get worked up about. What’ll hit home is an example of the CEO spending the average worker’s annual salary on something frivolous.
Spot on. We live in an age where basically we have the world's richest people in history compared to the middle class and yet there are no revolutions or riots because while in the past kings and queens would show off their wealth, they now all "pretend" to look like the average person
That’s a really good point; the human brain was never really designed to think logarithmically We desperately need a way to get people to understand how obscene it is that billionaires even exist. The plan is clearly to get AI to the point that it can replace humans entirely , finish extracting the last bit of wealth we have, and let our mass extinction reduce the population enough to mitigate climate change so they can live in luxury and peace And maybe, instead of building rabid cults of personality around these people we could like, have a moment of self awareness and self preservation?
That is exactly the story that they want you to believe. Work hard and you'll be rich. Unfortunately that is not how the world works. And regarding your comments on rich people not trying to look poor, look at how French kings dressed up 300 years ago and compare it to Bernard Arnault today, who is actually richer than they had ever been@AarushKumar-sf1vk
I remember reading about a French multimillionaire who was having financial difficulties successfully arguing in court that his Rolls Royce was a necessary business expense because he was selling luxury champagne and it was important for him to be able to sell that image.
Say this louder for the people in the back... "After a certain point, people can't improve their personal financial situation by being more frugal. They need to increase their income"
for real because being frugual, you’re depriving yourself and have less money to work with. If I was rich and frugual, then I’d have more money and options to work with every month.
Usually yeah. However the spending problem of habit has vastly more issues than the earning problem does, which is a matter of focus. The former is a matter of impulse, which you should not be spending impulsively for. That's usually why the saying comes up
@@broskibrewer2187 you’re right. It’s just discouraging when you’re already following that advice. Most people work hard and don’t get what’s due to them. It takes luck on top of working hard.
@@broskibrewer2187 People actually could substantially lower their costs with relatively minor lifestyle changes. A big one that people aren't really aware of is eating out regularly. If you are willing to make your own food, you will spend far less on groceries compared to eating out. The food will also typically be better for you as well. Even something like having a daily coffee at starbucks adds up quickly. I'd say some really big ones though for especially poor people would be cigarettes, alcohol, lottery tickets, tattoos, etc. Basically, things that not only cost a lot of money but bring no real value to your life or possibly even detract from it. The thing about income is there is only so much you can realistically increase this. You are only able to work so many hours per week without risk of burning out. Most jobs also pay relatively similarly until you get into high paying jobs that require a lot of formal education.
I thought it was only a subset of billionaires, most notably the tech billionaires who do this. Probably because they consider themselves engineers and innovators first and foremost while they are also used to this lifestyle. Other billionaires like Russian oligarchs and Arab oil princes are indeed some of the most blinged out people on the planet.
Oligarchs and arab oil billionaires (no real difference) gained their wealth through political connections and do not have to fear popular discontent. Billionaires in democracies know we can tax or seize their wealth if we hate them enough. Oligarchs do not have this fear because their best buds (the ruler or local general)will stop it.
Consumers stay consumers. Do you have a friend who just go out and have fun all the time by spending and consuming? Well that guy if he gets rich he is going to do the same only in very luxurious high end style. Guys who just want to work and create doesn’t really care about the lavish things when they get super rich. Money amplifies who you are. It never changes you
@@cameronwixcey9692 the more important point is that their wealth is a symbol FOR the dictator in general. The wealth of these blinged out "oligarchs" (quotes since it also applies to other kinds of political nobility) is not their own, but rather on loan from the dictator, and them displaying it proudly is a big part of why they have it. What does Putin have to gain by having somebody with a lot of wealth other than him? The image of success coming from their loyalty. Much like our billionaires like to sell the image of coming from poverty and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps to have people work hard for no gain, oligarchs earned their wealth through loyalty and instead of needing to seem humble with it, they need to show it off to entice others to maintain that sense of loyalty. They can simply sell the image that the reason they aren't oligarchs is because they aren't loyal enough, no need to sell them a bullshit idea like saving money and working hard matters when the purpose is to drive people to do things like join the military to fight and die in the wars. Dictators need large armies of loyal soldiers to control their populace and prevent foreign coups, so just like the knighting and squire systems of the middle ages, promoting loyalty is the game over there. So the main accessory to their wealth is functionally different, their blatant glam is an important part of the wealth for them, while our billionaires here have to sell the image of capitalism being "fair and balanced" when it's not.
@@cameronwixcey9692there's also a lot of dirt that needs to not be dug back up, and keeping a good image helps with that. Companies like Microsoft didn't become practical monopolies by being the best, or even by being basically adequate. They got there through backroom deals and government bribes.
I’d say celebrity is a big part of it too. Who’s the CEO of United Healthcare or Wells Fargo? Unless you’re an investor you probably have no idea. Tech companies are much more identified with an individual, the visionary CEOs who was often a founder as well. Negative press coverage of the individual is bad for the company, so they have more of a reason to appear like normal folks who aren’t exploiting the system.
One doesn't need to fall under the spell of personality to see that some criticism against billionaires and wealthy people in general isn't very logical, and that people will find reasons to be mad at them regardless of how they conduct themselves.
The main reason for that probably has to do with most of it being generational money, they were born into it and never grew up poor so being flashy is all they know. Most billionaires in the US earned their wealth
@@alexanderredhorse1297they earned it in the sense they have people voluntarily give their money for whatever product or service they offered. This is the conventional usage of the word earned. . Yes once the company is already successful, new employees will produce more profit than get paid in wages. So there is some Marxian notion in which this is "theft," however I think it pretty clear in the standard usage that the CEO did earn their wealth, and even if you don't agree with the sentiment I'm sure you understand what is meant
My freshman year college, a totally normal guy's parents showed up on parents weekend and brought him a brand new SUV as a gift, so we all realized that he was actually very wealthy, and then started noticing that his very normal looking clothes were incredibly tailored and absolutely never had any scuffs or stains.
A friend of a friend in college lived in a house his parents bought for him for the time he was in the city. Probably not a bad investment...might have sold it for a small profit. But, most people can't afford that, can't take that risk. A young woman whose father was a doctor (my family doctor, actually) said to me, at another college, 'Just have your parents put a house in your name, get some friends to move in to pay rent...and by the time you're done of your degree you'll have house that's a few years paid off...' Yeah, my parents couldn't afford that risk. Another young woman I met at a Joe job was complaining that the student loan people wouldn't give her anything. Another guy who had gone to college and I were listening. Her parents had outright bought a house in her name...something about avoiding taxes or something related. The other guy 'Well, that's why. You own a house...so they figure you don't need a loan for school like a lot of other students do...'
@@DaniZeAlmighty and this is why some people in college who come from super rich backgrounds out there gatekeep and hide their true wealth from others. Specifically from friends, acquaintances, and even strangers from doing bad stuff like stealing. It's hard to trust people these days anyway. Take your comment for example, it's one of a nasty thought but i bet you don't even care if you steal from rich people because you are THAT desperate and you're confident to even say it out loud. If I was your friend and even if i am not financially rich, i would still stay away from you. You're obviously dangerous with a potential to physically hurt others over some money.

Happens in fashion too, why do you think ripped jeans exist ? Its to mimic the poor who actually had ripped jeans because thats all theu had. Dirty clothing has become a thing because working people who actually work have dirty clothes. The list goes on and on
That's also more of a general culture thing, culture tends to largely be produced by the working class and marginalized groups and then flows upwards and outwards from there. The richer you are the less in touch with normal people you are and thus you become unable to produce art and culture that the general population will like. You also start becoming so sheltered from the real world that your creativity dries up and you'll be surrounded by sycophants so you're unable to think critically about your own works.
i have dirty clothes because i actually work physically in my factory even though i have a dozen maintenance guys you can never have enough and few are star guys. so i always wear black jeans an black t shirt and black sweatshirt because i don't care to look good for anyone. i only wear a suit for funerals .
idk I like my ripped jeans with light washed up colors. theres a difference between ripped jeans from being poor and the ripped jeans I buy at the store. its like ripped well wtih a pattern
The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich. These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
I still love how no journalist in the history of fluff interviews has asked any of these billionaire chuds, “okay, if you live so modestly, why do you refuse to pay your fair share in taxes and spend millions in lobbying and anti-union drives?”
I think those billionaires didn't approved such questions and if they would ask anyway - interviews would be deleted and journalist won't find new job - simply.
@@scalemodeltutor9841 it was lobbying from them and their mates that tax loopholes and a anti-union bills are passed. It is their fault that it is like this.
Virtually all the millionaires I know in Ohio for all appearances look broke because most of them came from a life of poverty and they really just don't want to show anything off. I realized that this video is about billionaires but it's been my experience dealing with high net worth individuals in my community is they look very plain generally.
see that sounds like bullshit, usually it's the old rich that's subtle about showing their wealth & the new rich flaunt it maybe your millionaire friends are lying to you about coming from poverty, or maybe they're lying to themselves & their idea of poverty is their parents driving BMWs instead of Rolls Royces and their idea of self-made is going from millionaire to multi-millionaire? (that's certainly how Forbes defines "self-made")
This will not be obvious for a lot, a lot of people. It works. It works on so many people. There’s also many people who don’t care that a millionaire is trying so hard. The fact that the millionaire is rich is all that matters to some folks.
Vogue recently had Jeff Bezos' gf on the cover and a laughable article about how normal they are. They talk about Bezos' giant underground clock, their ideas for the future of space travel, their personal helicopter, how they complete each other, etc. It doesn't try very hard to make them sound normal or even like the article wasn't bought, and the friends and family interviewed weren't coached on what to say. It's crazy to think anyone would believe they're just like everyone else from reading it, but I guess it works on some? I don't know how. It's like believing that woman's face is all natural.

I think it's more to do with the fact that most material wealth doesn't make you special anymore. Having really nice clothes was a sign of wealth in the past. Nowadays, any middle class person can afford expensive clothes with a little bit of budgeting.
The thing is, I’d rather these people spend their egregious wealth and have it actually flow into the economy than hoard it while we all pray to buy a house.
“Horded” lmao I bet you think they just have a bank statement of $100 billion. Most of their net worth is STOCKS and if you really wanted them to sell it all, it would hurt most regular people
I catch this a lot on the car side of RUclips. You've got a lot of channels that present themselves as everyday down to earth car enthusiasts doing "fun builds" but when you really start paying attention to the videos its obvious that they come from some sort of generational wealth that's allowed them to buy all these elaborate vehicles. But they'll present themselves as just your car buddy up the street.
It's one thing to want to lay low on the streets where the threat of violence and theft is imminent; it's another thing (and I completely despise it) to come online and ride that trope to mislead your target audience. I'm on car Tok, and I noticed something similar; they'll say "you're not a real car guy if you don't work on your car" "think of all the money you'd save on your car if you worked on it", and I'm like 🙄 I don't have the time to start randomly learning expert-level mechanic things. I remember going on the Mercedes Benz forum once, kinda wanting to dip my toe into working on my own car, and these dudes had whole technical design sheets for several parts of the car, including the engine. I was like 😳???? where did y'all even find these designs??? Aren't these proprietary??
Im from "oil" country, and butter is indeed expensive. I try to buy good, grassfed butter from nz (i forgot the brand), and holy shit the price is way above my usual palm oil.

This was a complaint I heard about the minimalist movement, it was a bunch of well-to-do people who could afford to get rid of stuff because if they really needed that item again, they could just buy it whenever they wanted.
For me being rich means not to worry about money. Looking rich can make you very attractive but also attractive to the wrong kinds of attention. Suddenly family, friends, spouses and strangers see you as a 💰, abductions become a real thread. Being rich while people don't know about it, having the freedom to pursue passions and travel the world without worrying about constant power struggles, living a healthy life with friends and family you can trust is just a good way to live.
Being rich in this world puts a huge target on your back, even if you are sligthly wealthy family members, "friends", neighbors and even spouses will want a free handout from time to time, and if you dont do it you are ostracized and villanized into oblivion, so its always better to hide your wealth and look like a bum.
Even before the social media era, this phenomenon existed among both the wealthy and everyday individuals. It's a common tendency: the affluent aim to appear less privileged, while those with fewer resources strive to present themselves as more prosperous than they truly are. I believe this trend persists across various age groups and social circles, where there's a limited range allowing individuals to authentically represent themselves. Beyond this narrow band, people tend to exhibit a desire to emulate the opposite end of the spectrum. Interestingly, the poor actually want to be rich but the rich don’t actually want to be poor 😅

I don't know any billionaires and if they are pulling a scam dressing down but my experience with poorer people, middle class, and millionaire class the more ostentatious they look and act the less likeable and more shallow they are to me. And the people that try to look rich but aren't have self esteem issues or are frauds. I retired 17 years ago at 46 and my money didn't and still doesn't go to showing off or trying to impress strangers. I look like someone you don't want rob.
Why are y'all always so eager to tell us how self-proclaimededly humble y'all are? Isn't this the very showing-off y'all claim to be so above? No one gives a ... that you don't want to show off. Do with your money as you please, and let people do with theirs as they please as well!
To be fair, if you have it, you don’t need to show it off. Scammers aside, many wealthy people don’t feel the need to show it off because they ACTUALLY don’t care. They dress nice, because they can afford nice, but they don’t buy the most expensive thing *just* because it is the most expensive thing.
To be fair, there have been kidnapping attempts against Mr. Buffet before (armed with a chrome-plated replica of a .45 handgun, turned up at Buffett's office building in Omaha, Nebraska in 1987, and tried to kidnap him so they could hold him ransom). It's not fair to say that he's lying about the way he uses his wealth, because he doesn't HAVE to tell us about his security arrangements (no one walks around in the hood with a sign telling all the brothas that he's strapped). All the rest though, are actively trying to give a false impression that they're poor LOL.

@@michaelballack3051 and my POV is that this system doesn’t work for everyone. How can it? Therefore, it relegates those without to a life of struggle and pain and provides an inequitable life for those who have more than they need.
What's even more stupid is that money's value comes from ease of exchange. So when a small number of people are hoarding money, it makes for less in circulation, which stagnates the ease of exchange. This is where the topic of velocity of money/currency comes in. Basically it has no value sitting in an account, because it's not functioning in the world. They are paving the way for a bleak future. The money won't afford services, when there isn't a foundation for services to be offered. Oh well, same old story

@@ClarenceJBoddicker1987not really, share holders have a normal degree of separation from day to day activities or are removed from floor operations if they are the founders. It also often has concentrated rather than dispersed voting, ie there is not practical democracy if the founder owns 50% +1 of shares. Work place democratization has large amounts of power in the company from voting dispersed and no one person has extreme voting power. Most often no one person owns 10%+ of shares. Shares are also normally tied to workers and a requirement often is that to own shares you must work. The focus and idea is to ensure that those working at the business have control over it and that no one person has extreme authority
The biggest key takeaway that I have taken away from this channel is, if you want to be more financially successful make more money, if you want to make more money be worth more, to be worth more you have to have skills that are valued you can figure out the rest from there.

Whatifalthist has a great video where he explains how in the west, no one wants to admit they’re the ruling class. The ruling class go to great lengths to portray themselves as ordinary working class folks. The issue with this is that the ruling class and working class have entirely different roles in society. The ruling class’s job is to prepare themselves to make important decisions that will dictate the outcome of many people’s lives. However, since our ruling class is obsessed with seeming ordinary, they spend most of their time filling up their schedules with busy work, and thus are inadequately prepared to execute proper discernment in tough situations. Historically, the ruling class would spend most of their time studying, reading classical literature, philosophy, and strategizing.

I have worked in many private country clubs all with extremely wealthy people. You would be surprised on how cheap some of them are. I think they feel like they should just get everything for free but I am not sure. Many I have been around you would never know how wealthy they are. They just want to be left alone, play golf, and talk with their friends on their off time.
@@meeraj-4774 You're deluded. Rich people aren't rich because of frugality. Not going to a restaurant once or twice a month won't make you rich. Inheriting a several million dollar business will. You've been led to believe an insanely dishonest narrative.

Are you one of the "final stage of capitalism" morons? Hate to break it to you but capitalism is awesome. Don't let some slack jawed twit tell you otherwise.
@@CharlieKellyEsqI am so sick and tired of the old "smartphone = capitalism good " argument. it's dead and has no actual bearing since a vast majority of the technological advances we enjoy today were originally funded in the public sector then sent to the private sector so a few people could get rich off of it when the government stopped caring. Even the internet we use today has its origins in government partnerships with public universities. Is human life truely so meaningless that we can put a price tag on whether or not any one life is allowed to continue because that's the base question of capitalism. how much is living worth to you?
The bit about driving regular cars makes sense no matter how rich they are if they are the type to drive themselves, the most popular car among millionaires are the likes of Honda Civic no matter if they can easily afford supercars. They blend in, they are relatively comfortable and has decent standard of amenities and function but still simple and easy to use, cheap to drive, insure, crash and fast to repair. Many expensive supercars are actually uncomfortable, impractical and if something breaks it they fly the whole thing back to factory to fix. So even those who are into owning supercars still keeps a honda civic and drive that 90% of the time.
the "meta" problem is that, once a period of shortage kicks in, richer people have to use a justifiable story why their children eat and have clothes, and yours don't. The wealthier in prior ages used the divine right of kings, hard work, God's blessing (or curse), morally upright behavior, Christianity (or Islam, or whatever), Greek culture (or Roman, or Chinese, or whatever), charitable giving, etc... the list of justifications is as extensive as the human imagination. But in an age of government intervention in everything, well, what the government gives, the new government can take away. That nice house on the hill can be yours if you and your friends just get into positions of authority. "new boss, same as the old boss..." but all the pretty shiny things get new owners.
I think out of all of these only Warren Buffet legitimately can claim not to flaunt his billions. He may have started this trend of looking normal and just being a billionaire. Hes too old to gaf about Lambos and mansions. But i can almost guarantee he enjoys looking at the number he has in his accounts. The others attempt to make their schemes by trying to play the Buffet role.
@@CoolGobyFish owning vs flaunting? Are two different things. He's probably the most famous "humble billionaire" because he started the trend. I'm sure he owns very nice real estate, but he's never been one to be a big car guy. If all he drives is a stock Mercedes? still better than most. The man is old as dirt anyway so I doubt he even drives anymore.

Pretty simple when you have enough money you realize it's pointless; Only to ultimately present a detrement to the consumer. It's not the fact they're trying to look poor, it's just our culture wants to buy the latest and greatest to "look wealthy." Why purchase wealth when you have it.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine.

Investing in many sources of income that are independent of government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.
Sure, investing is essential for maintaining your financial stability, but making any kind of legitimate investment without the correct advice of a professional can result in a significant loss as well.
I also keep seeing lot's of people testifying about how they make money investing in Stock, Forex and Bitcoin and I wonder why I keep loosing. Can anyone help me out or at least advice me on what to do.

I once knew a millionaire. He once told me that money ruined his life. He told me that women only wanted him for his money and that men only wanted to be around him to do business with him. And his family expected to buy them all houses and cars. He told me that this is the reason why he drove a regular car.
Modern luxurious car were pain in ass to fix... that's why. A path of Frienship as millionaire getting bit narrower but It's not that hard if you're hanging out in the right spot..

I know, but it's accurate) family eh.. that's hard to say but sounds like my dad (formerly millionaire) as head of family need to exercise authority and a rather stern attitute..
What you failed miserably to mention is that these billionaires you're referring to are -celebrity billionaires- This is a huge difference. In an actual business environment if you want to be taken seriously , you don't wear a T-shirt.
Billionaires tend to be cheapskates. In business and in life. They're like Mr krabs. They do own a lot of luxury items but it's only because they spend as little as possible on them.
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I don't think I need a finance advisor. I can manage my own money and investments. I don't want to pay someone else to tell me what to do with my hard-earned cash.
That's a risky attitude, My friend. You might be missing out on some valuable opportunities and strategies that a finance advisor can offer. A finance advisor can help you plan for your short-term and long-term goals, optimize your tax situation, diversify your portfolio, and avoid costly mistakes.
I agree with You. A finance advisor can also provide you with objective and unbiased advice, especially when you are facing emotional or stressful situations. They can help you stay on track and avoid making impulsive decisions that can harm your financial future.
I used to think like you. I thought I knew enough about finance and investing to handle everything myself. But then I realized that I was spending too much time and energy on researching, analyzing, and monitoring my finances. I was also overwhelmed by the amount of information and options available. I decided to hire a finance advisor and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. They saved me a lot of time and money, and gave me peace of mind.
My portfolio is made up of dividend etf’s, dividend stocks, growth stocks, it allows a bit more freedom in specific areas with help of an advisor LUCY ROSE CARTER who I’ve been in touch with over the years before buying any stocks and it’s been working perfectly for me.
This is why I ignore so-called "influencers" who are just faking it. People with real money have nothing to prove and understand the importance of flying under the radar.
Most of them don’t know how to budget money anyway which adds on to the fact that they’re not really that worthy of making that kind of money in the first place to live a comfortable lifestyle, kind of no different than most lottery winners (70%) that have gone broke within the first 5 years

Most of the ethanol in the body is broken down in the liver by an enzyme called alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which transforms ethanol into a toxic compound called acetaldehyde (CH3CHO), a known carcinogen. However, acetaldehyde is generally short-lived; it is quickly broken down to a less toxic compound called acetate (CH3COO-) by another enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH). Acetate then is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, mainly in tissues other than the liver

At my previous job the CEO called me greedy and egotistical when I wanted a raise from earning 10 bucks an hour. Claiming that I got more money than he did as he didn’t even take a salary from the company. But I could see that his car had 7000 dollar rims. Something I could never afford. He acted poor to not have his workers demand more.
I bet he was good at marketing
Hope you quit at that moment.
That's how he got rich, keeping you poor
Yep, he is a just a typical psychopathic CEO, who will lie, gaslight and manipulate others to gain power, he would pay you 1 cent per hour if he could find a way! CEO of a company not even earning 10 dollars an hour 😂😂😂
What kind of crack is he on thinking that any employee would believe that!
CEO? $10/hour? I don't think he was a CEO. Maybe business owner of a private company, but not a CEO. If you make $10/hour for a company with a CEO, you are never talking to that guy at all lol.

They don’t care about how they look, Being visibly wealthy can attract attention, both positive and negative. Some billionaires prefer to avoid unnecessary public scrutiny or judgments that may come with conspicuous displays of wealth. They only spend on things that yields returns for them
I want to build wealth and I’ve been trying to learn things like this. only spend when necessary, the economic downturn just doesn’t help matters
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
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 beause I invested early ahead this time .

He likes to portray this "everyone's friendly grandpa" motif, but it's fake. He's ruthless. Watch his old videos from the 60s.
They'll say anything to keep the rest of us quiet and sedated about the terrible state of economic equality. If most people actually opened their fucking eyes to the obscene wealth these people have and how they attained it, "eat the rich" wouldn't be merely a slogan.
And they know it.
It’s that kind of thinking that keeps you and most people poor. Wealth is a MINDSET! Warren Buffet got to where he’s at by investing every single last dollar he could possibly save into undervalued companies, mainly Coca-Cola.
Had he blew his money on fancy cars, Yachts and women, he wouldn’t anywhere near as wealthy as he is today.
@@JohnSmith-gz5pm You are funny dude. hopefully you would be /are billionaire since you cracked the get billionaire code
Point 3 is important: saying the CEO gets paid 200x what the media worker does is too abstract for folks to really get worked up about. What’ll hit home is an example of the CEO spending the average worker’s annual salary on something frivolous.
Spot on. We live in an age where basically we have the world's richest people in history compared to the middle class and yet there are no revolutions or riots because while in the past kings and queens would show off their wealth, they now all "pretend" to look like the average person
That’s a really good point; the human brain was never really designed to think logarithmically
We desperately need a way to get people to understand how obscene it is that billionaires even exist. The plan is clearly to get AI to the point that it can replace humans entirely , finish extracting the last bit of wealth we have, and let our mass extinction reduce the population enough to mitigate climate change so they can live in luxury and peace
And maybe, instead of building rabid cults of personality around these people we could like, have a moment of self awareness and self preservation?

That is exactly the story that they want you to believe. Work hard and you'll be rich. Unfortunately that is not how the world works.

Say this louder for the people in the back... "After a certain point, people can't improve their personal financial situation by being more frugal. They need to increase their income"
for real because being frugual, you’re depriving yourself and have less money to work with.

Usually yeah. However the spending problem of habit has vastly more issues than the earning problem does, which is a matter of focus. The former is a matter of impulse, which you should not be spending impulsively for.
That's usually why the saying comes up
@@broskibrewer2187 you’re right. It’s just discouraging when you’re already following that advice. Most people work hard and don’t get what’s due to them. It takes luck on top of working hard.
@@DirtSweatGears it definitely plays a role, but so is your unwavering commitment to becoming better. It does pay off, and you'll be glad you did it.
@@broskibrewer2187 People actually could substantially lower their costs with relatively minor lifestyle changes. A big one that people aren't really aware of is eating out regularly. If you are willing to make your own food, you will spend far less on groceries compared to eating out. The food will also typically be better for you as well. Even something like having a daily coffee at starbucks adds up quickly.
I'd say some really big ones though for especially poor people would be cigarettes, alcohol, lottery tickets, tattoos, etc. Basically, things that not only cost a lot of money but bring no real value to your life or possibly even detract from it.
The thing about income is there is only so much you can realistically increase this. You are only able to work so many hours per week without risk of burning out. Most jobs also pay relatively similarly until you get into high paying jobs that require a lot of formal education.

One of life's classic Ironies. Billionaires trying to live like Brokies & Brokies attempting to live like Billionaires
This is the honest to God truth. I've never seen people flaunt there "wealth" as much as people that have no wealth to begin with.
Fundamentally they all want the same thing: respect from others
"appear weak when you are strong, appear strong when you are weak. war is all decepticon, yadayadayadayada..."
You must not know and/or be around a lot of people with actual wealth because this "self comforting" way of thinking is a lie.
Is it trying to or pretending to?
I thought it was only a subset of billionaires, most notably the tech billionaires who do this. Probably because they consider themselves engineers and innovators first and foremost while they are also used to this lifestyle. Other billionaires like Russian oligarchs and Arab oil princes are indeed some of the most blinged out people on the planet.
Oligarchs and arab oil billionaires (no real difference) gained their wealth through political connections and do not have to fear popular discontent. Billionaires in democracies know we can tax or seize their wealth if we hate them enough. Oligarchs do not have this fear because their best buds (the ruler or local general)will stop it.
Consumers stay consumers. Do you have a friend who just go out and have fun all the time by spending and consuming? Well that guy if he gets rich he is going to do the same only in very luxurious high end style. Guys who just want to work and create doesn’t really care about the lavish things when they get super rich. Money amplifies who you are. It never changes you
@@cameronwixcey9692 the more important point is that their wealth is a symbol FOR the dictator in general. The wealth of these blinged out "oligarchs" (quotes since it also applies to other kinds of political nobility) is not their own, but rather on loan from the dictator, and them displaying it proudly is a big part of why they have it.
What does Putin have to gain by having somebody with a lot of wealth other than him? The image of success coming from their loyalty. Much like our billionaires like to sell the image of coming from poverty and pulling themselves up by their bootstraps to have people work hard for no gain, oligarchs earned their wealth through loyalty and instead of needing to seem humble with it, they need to show it off to entice others to maintain that sense of loyalty. They can simply sell the image that the reason they aren't oligarchs is because they aren't loyal enough, no need to sell them a bullshit idea like saving money and working hard matters when the purpose is to drive people to do things like join the military to fight and die in the wars. Dictators need large armies of loyal soldiers to control their populace and prevent foreign coups, so just like the knighting and squire systems of the middle ages, promoting loyalty is the game over there.
So the main accessory to their wealth is functionally different, their blatant glam is an important part of the wealth for them, while our billionaires here have to sell the image of capitalism being "fair and balanced" when it's not.
@@cameronwixcey9692there's also a lot of dirt that needs to not be dug back up, and keeping a good image helps with that.
Companies like Microsoft didn't become practical monopolies by being the best, or even by being basically adequate. They got there through backroom deals and government bribes.
I’d say celebrity is a big part of it too. Who’s the CEO of United Healthcare or Wells Fargo? Unless you’re an investor you probably have no idea.
Tech companies are much more identified with an individual, the visionary CEOs who was often a founder as well. Negative press coverage of the individual is bad for the company, so they have more of a reason to appear like normal folks who aren’t exploiting the system.
And it works too! So many people fall for it and the whole “cult of personality” thing influences folks to even defend these billionaires.
People who enjoy their products also defend them.
People only have to defend billionaires because they are constantly attacked just for being successful

It's nice that someone is adressing this situation. I am tired to try to explain to people that everything that comes from billionaires is fake.

@@TheRealMcCoy88 bruh... no billionaire has "earned" their stolen wealth
@@alexanderredhorse1297they earned it in the sense they have people voluntarily give their money for whatever product or service they offered. This is the conventional usage of the word earned. .
Yes once the company is already successful, new employees will produce more profit than get paid in wages. So there is some Marxian notion in which this is "theft," however I think it pretty clear in the standard usage that the CEO did earn their wealth, and even if you don't agree with the sentiment I'm sure you understand what is meant

My freshman year college, a totally normal guy's parents showed up on parents weekend and brought him a brand new SUV as a gift, so we all realized that he was actually very wealthy, and then started noticing that his very normal looking clothes were incredibly tailored and absolutely never had any scuffs or stains.
I'd steal from him honestly.
Yeah, any hookup of his who managed to leave with one of his shirts was getting like an $80 shirt
A friend of a friend in college lived in a house his parents bought for him for the time he was in the city. Probably not a bad investment...might have sold it for a small profit. But, most people can't afford that, can't take that risk.
A young woman whose father was a doctor (my family doctor, actually) said to me, at another college, 'Just have your parents put a house in your name, get some friends to move in to pay rent...and by the time you're done of your degree you'll have house that's a few years paid off...' Yeah, my parents couldn't afford that risk.
Another young woman I met at a Joe job was complaining that the student loan people wouldn't give her anything. Another guy who had gone to college and I were listening. Her parents had outright bought a house in her name...something about avoiding taxes or something related. The other guy 'Well, that's why. You own a house...so they figure you don't need a loan for school like a lot of other students do...'

Happens in fashion too, why do you think ripped jeans exist ? Its to mimic the poor who actually had ripped jeans because thats all theu had. Dirty clothing has become a thing because working people who actually work have dirty clothes. The list goes on and on
That's also more of a general culture thing, culture tends to largely be produced by the working class and marginalized groups and then flows upwards and outwards from there. The richer you are the less in touch with normal people you are and thus you become unable to produce art and culture that the general population will like. You also start becoming so sheltered from the real world that your creativity dries up and you'll be surrounded by sycophants so you're unable to think critically about your own works.

Even before the social media era, this phenomenon existed among both the wealthy and everyday individuals. It's a common tendency: the affluent aim to appear less privileged, while those with fewer resources strive to present themselves as more prosperous than they truly are. I believe this trend persists across various age groups and social circles, where there's a limited range allowing individuals to authentically represent themselves. Beyond this narrow band, people tend to exhibit a desire to emulate the opposite end of the spectrum. Interestingly, the poor actually want to be rich but the rich don’t actually want to be poor 😅

What's even more stupid is that money's value comes from ease of exchange. So when a small number of people are hoarding money, it makes for less in circulation, which stagnates the ease of exchange. This is where the topic of velocity of money/currency comes in. Basically it has no value sitting in an account, because it's not functioning in the world. They are paving the way for a bleak future.

The ruling class’s job is to prepare themselves to make important decisions that will dictate the outcome of many people’s lives. However, since our ruling class is obsessed with seeming ordinary, they spend most of their time filling up their schedules with busy work, and thus are inadequately prepared to execute proper discernment in tough situations.

The bit about driving regular cars makes sense no matter how rich they are if they are the type to drive themselves, the most popular car among millionaires are the likes of Honda Civic no matter if they can easily afford supercars. They blend in, they are relatively comfortable and has decent standard of amenities and function but still simple and easy to use, cheap to drive, insure, crash and fast to repair. Many expensive supercars are actually uncomfortable, impractical and if something breaks it they fly the whole thing back to factory to fix. So even those who are into owning supercars still keeps a honda civic and drive that 90% of the time.
Yea, most supercars are in a garage as a collectibles or assets.

So it's like when rich drugdealers pretend to be very poor to make people willing to pay them more?
If a rich person shows how rich they are, they are cringe.
If a rich person shows how poor they are, they are also cringe.
Class envy in a nutshell.
Buffett is the OG financial influencer
The funniest part is if you're a person who knows your clothing brands, you'd realize that those run down looking plain T-shirts are not literally $500-$4000 each
*I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.*
Investing in many sources of income that are independent of government paychecks is the prudent thing that everyone should be thinking about right now, especially given the global economic crisis. Stocks, forex, and digital currencies are still good investments at this time.
Sure, investing is essential for maintaining your financial stability, but making any kind of legitimate investment without the correct advice of a professional can result in a significant loss as well.
wanted to trade, but | got discouraged with the market price fluctuations~>
Trading under the guidance of a professional is the best strategy for beginners.
I also keep seeing lot's of people testifying about how they make money investing in Stock, Forex and Bitcoin and I wonder why I keep loosing. Can anyone help me out or at least advice me on what to do.
8:41 I don't feel bad for those people; they're falling for those who want to "sell them success" but at the end of the day they never wanted to work hard for it, just make money.
The same reason royals do. Otherwise people are going for them.
I once knew a millionaire. He once told me that money ruined his life. He told me that women only wanted him for his money and that men only wanted to be around him to do business with him. And his family expected to buy them all houses and cars. He told me that this is the reason why he drove a regular car.
Modern luxurious car were pain in ass to fix... that's why. A path of Frienship as millionaire getting bit narrower but It's not that hard if you're hanging out in the right spot..
That's description is the telltale the people around him who propose to do " business partnership" weren't equal in wealth and mindset (a polluted word by guru. I know, but it's accurate)
family eh.. that's hard to say but sounds like my dad (formerly millionaire) as head of family need to exercise authority and a rather stern attitute..
BS, he is really broke
What you failed miserably to mention is that these billionaires you're referring to are -celebrity billionaires- This is a huge difference. In an actual business environment if you want to be taken seriously , you don't wear a T-shirt.
Billionaires tend to be cheapskates. In business and in life. They're like Mr krabs. They do own a lot of luxury items but it's only because they spend as little as possible on them.
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I don't think I need a finance advisor. I can manage my own money and investments. I don't want to pay someone else to tell me what to do with my hard-earned cash.
That's a risky attitude, My friend. You might be missing out on some valuable opportunities and strategies that a finance advisor can offer. A finance advisor can help you plan for your short-term and long-term goals, optimize your tax situation, diversify your portfolio, and avoid costly mistakes.
I agree with You. A finance advisor can also provide you with objective and unbiased advice, especially when you are facing emotional or stressful situations. They can help you stay on track and avoid making impulsive decisions that can harm your financial future.
I used to think like you. I thought I knew enough about finance and investing to handle everything myself. But then I realized that I was spending too much time and energy on researching, analyzing, and monitoring my finances. I was also overwhelmed by the amount of information and options available. I decided to hire a finance advisor and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. They saved me a lot of time and money, and gave me peace of mind.
My portfolio is made up of dividend etf’s, dividend stocks, growth stocks, it allows a bit more freedom in specific areas with help of an advisor LUCY ROSE CARTER who I’ve been in touch with over the years before buying any stocks and it’s been working perfectly for me.
You have luxury, but don't let the world know it
Don't be relatable to people, but show you are relatable
3:46 Zuck actually seems like a decent guy here, he just loves his grey shirts lol XD
appreciate your comment! found the first zuck bootlicker.
An equinox I paid cash for got nailed on the highway. I pretend I can't afford to fix the dents so I blend in with the poors.
Same here!!
Glad people are starting to wake up and smell the coffee. every single billionaire who ever did this is only putting a facade - full stop
This guys channel is like the 48 laws of power for finance!
This is why I ignore so-called "influencers" who are just faking it. People with real money have nothing to prove and understand the importance of flying under the radar.
Most of them don’t know how to budget money anyway which adds on to the fact that they’re not really that worthy of making that kind of money in the first place to live a comfortable lifestyle, kind of no different than most lottery winners (70%) that have gone broke within the first 5 years
