    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 .

      If you lack market knowledge, your best bet is to seek advice or support from a consultant or investing coach. Contacting a consultant may sound simple, but it's how I've managed to stay afloat in the market and increase my portfolio to roughly 60% early this year. It is, in my opinion, the best way to get started in the industry right now.

    Since some are frugal with their time, here is the list for those wanting to get to the point:
    #1 Research Like Your Wealth Depends on It
    #2 Buy Quality Now to Avoid Buying More Later
    #3 When Your Back is Against the Wall, Sell the Horse (Drastic Times Call for Drastic Measures)
    #4 Broke People Pay Interest. Wealthy People Earn It
    #5 Always Be Knowing Where Every Dollar is Going (Every Dollar in your Possession has a Job)
    #6 If You Fall for the Trends, You'll Fall for the Traps
    #7 Pay Cash Now or Don't Buy Now
    #8 Never Spend Just to Save
    #9 Save for the Future, But Don't Lose Your Mind
    #10 You Can't Save your Way to Wealth (Invest Consistently)
    #11 More Stuff Won't Make You More Complete (If no one ever sees this, would I still buy it...?)
    #12 Solve for Freedom (Get rid of clutter, honor your mind and body, owe no one anything, practice gratitude, etc.)
    Bonus Rule: Be Generous

    It's depressing how hard life has gotten for people in this generation. I wanted to know what to do with some money I had. I utilized a portion of it for my online store, but that failed.

    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.

      Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

      I've purchased numerous stocks in individual firms. Because there are so many stocks that will skyrocket in the long run, it is currently safe to buy in on ETF and ride it out. Due to fud, I sold out early, but then retraced my ways and re-invested $350,000 with a financial advisor who manages my account. I received an 82% return last year and will see where it goes this year.

    4. Broke people pay interest, wealthy people earn it.
    5. Always know where every dollar is going.
    6. If you fall for the trends, you'll fall for the traps
    7. Pay cash now, or don't buy it now.
    8. Never spend just to save
    9. Save for the future, but don't lose your mind
    10. You can't save your way to wealth

      Focus on long term investments in property, stocks, and bonds. Avoid copying, daytrading and 'chart astrology'. Diversify across different geographies, industries, and value chain stages - to reduce your risk. You can do this with ETFs, or by selecting different stocks yourself. This is the best way to invest for more than 90% of people

      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, nothing beats experience and that’s final, personally I had to reach out to a market analyst for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to a million, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I’m buying again.

      @blind_luck_ Месяц назад +3

      In my opinion, making a smart investment is not only a technique for earning passive income, but also a profitable way of saving for future expenses. People who fail to make the proper judgments early in life often come to regret it later in life. Nonetheless, investing alone can be difficult and risky. As a result, I recommend obtaining expert assistance (financial advisors). The challenge is not just watching videos and reading investing books; it is about implementing information effectively.

    On the buying quality point-with our tight budget I’ve learned that for certain items it’s better to look for a higher quality item second hand rather than a new item of lesser quality. I stay within our budget, but still have the advantage of the better quality item. Also, there are so many times where we can live without or borrow an item from friends/family rather than buy more stuff.

    Re #2: If I need a tool or something I am not sure will be used daily I will buy cheap and if it breaks that generally means I use it a lot and I'll buy quality after. It has saved me a good chunk on tools that I only ended up needing occasionally.

    Love you George! “…buy quality now… buy it for life…” should be applied to buying “durable, quality…” furniture from second hand sources. Solid maple, cherry, oak - even pine furniture can be found for pennies. It is durable, high end and bonus - saves so much money. We raised our family of 6 making a cozy comfy home using all second hand sold rock maple furniture. Style is very un-IKEA - and the warmth of natural wood makes home feel like … well Home! Our dining room set complete with 8 chairs, 4 table leaves, a buffet and a sideboard cost $275. at Salvation Army has welcomed our kids and grandkids every Thanksgiving for the past 40 years. We supported the SA programs, gave longer life to beautiful furniture to save it from dumpsters, while enjoying a budget saving bargain that has served happy memories and delicious food since 1989. Highly recommend furniture thrifting to save thousands!

      My wife kept her horse after we got married, and then stopped working. She said having horses was non-negotiable. I always resented that she expected me to pay for her horse hobby for over 13 years, despite us having large credit card debts. I kept a mental tally of the cost and worked out we could have saved $100,000 and bought a house. I once sold my car to pay off a credit card and she used most of the money to buy a new saddle. Horses are a machine that convert money and grass into poop.

    I lives frugal lifestyle my entire life. My parents were frugal. It is an easy lifestyle if you are a humble person and know how to prioritize things you will be just fine. It is not easy though for people who don’t know how to manage money though. So it really depends on the person.
    My family is letting me stay at home after graduation to save and invest most of my income I have no loans either. I am paying $500 a month but I also will help them when they need me they are retirees. This doesn’t mean I won’t treat myself or my family. I will do so with moderation. The good thing about living frugally is that you learn how to live on way less than you make and still live in a great way.

    "Buy the fancy boots", I wonder if he's referring to the "Sam Vimes Boots" theory. In any case I agree with the buy it for life theory. I spend so little on tools, clothing, electronics, etc because when I do buy I get well built items. And they aren't necessarily the most expensive items.
    For me the "spend more when using credit cards" bit doesn't work. If I have cash it's money I've taken out of savings and I just feel like it's ok to spend it because I know I have it - it's right here in my hand. If I'm pulling out the plastic though I know that's money that's going to have to come out of the bank account or I'll (shudder) have to pay interest. I'm way more frugal with a card than I am with cash. I can go months without putting anything but absolute necessities on the card but if I've got a few hundred in cash every shiny thing I see is a temptation.

    I agree that buying quality products is a good saving strategy because you don't need to replace quality things for years to come. I have a yearly budget for clothes and shoes. If I don't spend it, it rolls over into the next year. That's how I was able to afford a Canada Goose coat, which keeps me super warm and comes with a lifetime warranty.
