    Not sure whats more impressive, to be able to save 1 million dollars or to invest every single penny of hard earned money to the two guys you just met, instead of investing half and keeping the other half just to make sure you have something left in case it doesnt work out.

      If it sounds too good to be true then you should jump on the opportunity immediately because too-good-to-be-true offers like that don't come around often. The trick is to just throw caution to the wind and turn off that part of your brain that controls critical thinking and common sense as that stuff will just get in the way of you making serious financial gains.

    when it comes to your money, be suspicious of anyone who is trying to pressure you into giving up your money for any reason.
    Remember, it’s your money. Not their money. if there’s any doubt, don’t do it. It’s better safe than sorry.
