Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.

I am leaving this comment here so that after some hours, days, weeks, months or years when someone likes or comment on it, I will be reminded to watch this video again
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.
Without a doubt, this year will be worse than the last. I lost a lot of money last year as a result of bad investment choices that I would not have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I kept investing, but I couldn't determine whether to start paying for a house. In the end, I sold my positions, and the house needed more work than I had planned. I'm not sure how long I can keep going like this
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
I agree with the Black taxes community. My Aunt died last month she did not have life insurance. So the family members have to paid for the funeral me included .😕
Spot on Alux. I've been thinking of these obstacles lately and how they relate to my growth and development. Thanks for this one. I feel breakthroughs are around the corner now.
I was one of those unattractive overweight thick glasses kid. In my 50s I actually was a male fitness model and spokesperson. Now at 78 years young I'm getting back in shape to make another run at modeling!
Your best path to success is through traditional education - study well, get a high paying job, invest smartly = success most can have. If they have the discipline for it. Sure, it is possible to get great outside of the traditional education system...just like there is a chance to win the lottery. It's just much much harder and much unlikelier to work out in your favour. So stay in school and change it from within once you are powerful enough. Staying in school and playing by the rules is more likely to lead you to success than going 'traditional education bad'
#6: Very attractive people are often convinced they are not by the mediocre attractive people and will go thru life believing it. This is especially true among women, who habitually work like crabs in a bucket to destroy the happiness and success of other women.
Looks only correlate to success depending on the area you're in and the level of attractiveness in relation to your peers. It's a bell curve. If you're gorgeous in a town of uglies, you're a constant target of jealousy and envy. If you're ugly in a town of beauties, you don't fit in and are invisible. If you're not too far off from the average, you'll do well. The narratives that looks influence THAT much is ridiculous and insulting. Not everyone is shallow (except for only you cause its that deep😒), and people do have personalities/standards and if you take care of yourself/groom yourself it advertises how you take care of things in life. No one wants to be around someone who's a slob but they'd be ok with a disabled person with good hygiene.
Private school through 12th grade. Just written a new book titled Jealousy, Loneliness & Satan DESTROYS A 30+ Years Friendship. Yes my friend of over 30 YEARS decided her new toxic jealous boyfriend at 70 was more important! I actually think he latched on to her because she is an EXTREMELY WEALTHY WIDOW! He's a 72 years old already bankrupt at least once traveling salesman!
My biggest trouble in life has been women 1stold all my father's money after he went blind, 2 I'd never spoken to tryed to have me arrested 1 tryed to have me arrested after asking if the bus stop was working, she was driving a school bus and I was on the street. Many others didn't involve the police but were trouble just the same.
It’s supposed to be rational risk calculation for assessment and decision. Not all this freaky 💩. But that honest poor impulse control learned behavior junk makes for some nasty thrill seeking. Growing up quick also means ya know how to pull it off too. Until ya don’t and it misses. It’ll miss bad too by the way. Overloaded with a lot of risk ok. Impulse based thrills do that. If it can be learned it can be deconstructed. Reasonable risk assessment followed by non impulse fact based thrill works so less surprisingly. No regrets
Now make a video of solutions for how someone can deal with those things in the list... i feel in most of your videos you never make videos of solutions. You make lists of the thing people are already aware of but not the list of solutions how to overcome those
I don't think it's right or fair to attribute the Black tax to the Black community alone by causialy saying: it happens in other communities as well, but the Black community ... The Black community has no right to claim this problem just for themselves, stating how difficult life is with relatives wanting to be funded.It happens everywhere and more people ( even in Western Europe) are affected by it. It happened in my birth family and it happened to me resently.I think it's unfair and is one of the reasons I dislike financially needy people and relatives. The trouble is: you help them once and they keep coming back!
I think that the difference is that with the black community its more like a cultural obligation. In more European cultures it seems much more acceptable to live a financially solo or isolated life, arabic and Jewish cultures are much closer to black- tax. But this is just my own opinion.

Motivation.
Joining up with a slightly younger peer group after one and one half years of college. They helped me waste two years of my life.
Becoming a part of some low-achieving organizations
1)Born Poor - yep - we were dirt poor when I was very little, things got better later on, but I will always remember that
2)Being Born In A Low Income Country - absolutely - was worse years ago, way more opportunities now
3)Growing Up To Quickly & Fear - also yes
4)Entering The Traditional School System - yup
5)Toxic Relationships - yep, not with a partner, but from people around me
6)Not Being Conventionally Attractive - absolutely, unfortunately *sad*
7)Surrounded By Unsupportive People - also yes, learned not to give a damn, but still hard
8)Too Much Self Awareness About The Way Society Works - in parts
9)Social Awkwardness & Anxiety - hell yes, unfortunately and covid made it worse
10)Being The Most Successful Person In Your Family.(Black Tax) - not yet, but trying to get there. Thing is, I often am that person in friend groups - which made me learn to shut the F up and not talk about myself (people think it's bragging)
11)Being A People Pleaser - hell no
12)Not Understanding Your Passions - hell no, on the contrary, I follow them
13)Mental Health Issues - does depression and burnout count? I used to have those, but dealt with them
14)Physical Health Issues - thank God, no
15)Sudden Loss Of A Loved One - yes, unfortunately
Overall result - 13/15 :(

Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong. .
Investing with an expert is the best strategy for beginners and busy investors, as most failures and losses in investment usually happen when you invest without proper guidance. I'm speaking from experience.

Ok, it’s time to watch it again now
And again…

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.
Money invested is far better than money saved , when you invest it gives you the opportunity to increase your financial worth.
It is remarkable how much long term
advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid,

We've all made mistakes at some point. You should consider financial planning
True. My portfolio was diversified across several markets with the help of a financial planner, and were able to achieve over a million in net profit among high dividend yield equities, ETFs, and bonds. It is vital that you have a variety of exposure, including in firms that are currently generating cash flows.
Do you mind sharing your financial planner?

You are most likely to find more info when you look her up.
#5: definitely agree with this one. Went into adulthood with a lot of damage, low self esteem, and very low EQ that took decades to start correcting.
The true aluxers watched this video 😊
Numbers 14 & 15 really rocked my world irl.
I agree with the Black taxes community. My Aunt died last month she did not have life insurance. So the family members have to paid for the funeral me included .😕
One of the best videos ever! I've been affected by #7. I genuinely have a disdain for disingenuous people.
Spot on Alux. I've been thinking of these obstacles lately and how they relate to my growth and development. Thanks for this one. I feel breakthroughs are around the corner now.

Wow😂😂😂😂 the black tax Alux must be doing research.
Love it! Ok. Starting today... Discipline. 💗💗💗🙏🙏🙏
I got all of that without people pleaser and lost of a loved one 😅🤣
Here in Zambia cheers to alux
Alux

14:10 going to be most watched part of this vdo
So accurate, may we heal and overcome ❤🎉

Wow, I am the 500th liker of this #Alux'post, thank you for this helpful, useful & practical content, @ Alux! 👍💐
Amazing video! I experienced some of the points you elaborate in the video, but at 41 yrs old, I have to say that I overcame them!
#6: Very attractive people are often convinced they are not by the mediocre attractive people and will go thru life believing it. This is especially true among women, who habitually work like crabs in a bucket to destroy the happiness and success of other women.
alux at the end of year we want you to combine all this best videos
The black tax, lol, we finally made it
Wow, these are hard facts. Thanks Alux.
Black tax😂 I can relate as a black man!
Me too😂 also too much awareness how the world works is probably my biggest obstacle.
Except no. 13 i am facing all of these
Wow! Thanks.
thanks
I think you can support us on numbers 5, 7, 13, 15.
Besides others, I think Alux can look at ways to soothe these.
Number 1 hits hard
Can you make a video on the implications of marriage or dating on financial stamina?

I've had a tonne of obstacles in life but it's only built up my resilience.
Private school through 12th grade.
Just written a new book titled Jealousy, Loneliness & Satan DESTROYS A 30+ Years Friendship. Yes my friend of over 30 YEARS decided her new toxic jealous boyfriend at 70 was more important! I actually think he latched on to her because she is an EXTREMELY WEALTHY WIDOW! He's a 72 years old already bankrupt at least once traveling salesman!
today one of those days totally wiping my tear in your shirt today
On a constant path to become a better person everyday...keeping up with the channel is the least we can do
My favorite teacher was Ms. Miriam
thank you and okay
❤❤
narrator says only obstacle you have to pass is that which prevents you from watching 15 videos in alux channel daily
Add: growing up in a cult 🖕
My biggest trouble in life has been women 1stold all my father's money after he went blind, 2 I'd never spoken to tryed to have me arrested 1 tryed to have me arrested after asking if the bus stop was working, she was driving a school bus and I was on the street.

No regrets
So true
True
All these obstacles are nothing more than opportunities for self growth, Aluxers! 💙
Great
Discipline. Lacking the discipline and convergent thinking to go work in time
Now make a video of solutions for how someone can deal with those things in the list... i feel in most of your videos you never make videos of solutions. You make lists of the thing people are already aware of but not the list of solutions how to overcome those

Yes, Black tax; ledaleat appeoves🎉 😂 😂😂😂!
#7 and esp #8 yall got real lol
*Just one; hater people.*
The only real obstacle is negativity
black tax is so real
A toxic relationship and unsupportive people are a rest on your arm to stand up, stay vigilante.
A masked vigilante? 😈
Eleven cent ($0.11) or whatever an hour of cutting my own hair adds to the bill.
Maybe $0.11-$0.38 for the month give or take reasonable.🤔
#5) it’s a bad sign when you don’t use the word “parents” anymore.
But being born rich in a low-income country is a huge advantage
😂😂
THANK U
