    *I have worked closely for 15 years and have accumulated over $2M. Currently, I am in search of ideas on how to grow this money and pass it down to my kids and future generations. I could really use some experience and ideas. Thank you!*

      Thanks for the advice. I am willing to try this approach. However, I know nothing about Donald Nathan Scott. How can I reach out to him and read more about him?

      You are at the right place, my friend! Although RUclips has been of great help, I feel most people understand better with a mentor guiding them. Most successful people seek help from professionals, thus their success. But many claim to have achieved success themselves!

    Sales make sense to me when I am buying essential items (soap, toothpaste, etc). I absolutely refuse to purchase those items at full price. I put a little money in an envelope every payday to pay for those items when they go on sale. Example: I only buy steaks when they are on sale. We just won’t eat steak until it goes on sale

    • @trfrierson

      I got a kid. How I get around that is make sure the gifts are from her and I have a 25 dollar budget per person. I want to make sure people get something from her because a lot of people bless her. But 25 dollars is my cap. And because it's from her their expectations are low😂😂

    I got the iPhone 11 when it came out because it was the first one that didn’t have a button under the screen. All of the iPhones since then have had a similar design. Apple announced the 11 will stop getting updates in 2026 and that is probably when they will release an iPhone that has a design significantly different than the current versions. Car companies also rarely make large changes in car designs from year to year. For I wait until the new models design comes out plus one year to avoid the inevitable recalls.
