      I've never seen the movie and this is the first time I've listened to the story, but it sounds terrible! Guy is responsible for his kid, risks the little that he has, making him and his kid temporary homeless (!), for the off-chance of becoming a successful stock broker? That's terrible!

      @@MartinTedder His story is already written. You focus on the negative too much. sucks to be you. He already became rich meaning and the risk he took was worth it and paid off in the end. What are you still yapping about? He became rich and has provided his kid a better life rather than letting his wife take their kid who was struggling as well. You do realize the video is about people getting rich, right? Quit you’re worrying. Everybody goes through shit, but Gardner managed.

      @@MartinTedder Are you an entitled boomer? You seem so arrogant, lol. So if you're being realistic then why don't you focus on the reality that he actually managed to be rich and AFFORD a better life for his kid because of the RISK he took because he hanged on to that CHANCE OF BEING SUCCESSFUL. Keep in mind his wife, who left him, was also struggling. So either way, their kid would have a hard time. LOTS of people are struggling with the same situation as Gardner even now. But if we are talking about Gardner and you being realistic. Yes, what they went through was "TERRIBLE" but in the end it was all worth it. So what the fuck are you still yapping about. You acknowledge the fact that what they went through was terrible, but can't acknowledge that managed to get through it and got a better life in the end. How the fuck are you realistic?

    Probably the best I've done is; 1. My mom got into costume jewelry. Probably 20 years ago, at a garage sale, I ran across a pair of rhinestone clips that I bought for around 75 cents. I eventually gave one to my mom (the other got lost in a move), who looked it up online and discovered that just one in the shape it's in was worth $150.
    2. I found an old bowl of a brownish-yellow glass at a thrift shop. I gave a whole $2 for it. My mom looked it up, thinking it could be carnival glass. It's not, but it is worth $25. Pretty good profit, lol. My mom's gone now, but I still have the dress clip and the bowl.

    Interesting yesterday I was just talking with my girlfriend about the pursuit of happiness. She had never seen it and I've seen it a few times. In some ways it makes me think about the journey that is my life. I lived in a tent by myself to a couple of different cars with my girlfriend half way across the country to a couple of shelters to now living in a apartment in the middle of the ghetto. I'm slowly getting myself closer to success. I'm proud I have a home. I honestly thought I was going to live the rest of my life homeless. I hope one day I will be as big of a success as Chris.

    the paperclip thing wasnt really that fair, if I remember correctly this guy's story got very popular while he was doing it, so many of his trades were people who recognized him and traded with him just to help him achieve his goal. so probably without that element of popularity he would have had a much more difficult time finding and making those trades

      @@bunnythebunny5827No, millionaires are a sign of a burgeoning economy. A rising tide raises all ships. To reduce poverty we need to implement policies that reduce the cost of energy which means voting out the globalist-affiliated politicians who keep signing our countries on to pie-in-the-sky climate treaties that the biggest emitters, India and China, refuse to sign. What you are advocating for is communism, which makes everybody equally miserable, except the ones who are more equal and get to tell everybody else what to do (totalitarianism). Historically, and without fail, the pursuit of communist utopia always results in the mass genocide of large segments of society. We don't want to repeat that mistake YET AGAIN.

    I won the Jackpot on the slots once. Went to a casino with $100 in my pocket and lost it at the Blackjack tables over the course of 3 hours. Found a penny as I was walking out and saw the variable slots by the door where you can bet one cent to $100 per line (7 lines per spin, 5 horizontal and 2 diagonal). I put in the penny, selected one line and spun the wheel. I got the jackpot. Granted I would have had to bet $100 to get the 8 digit payout on display board, but I got around $110 for my single penny. Recouped my losses, took the extra $10 to the buffet, ate until I was full and left, breaking even.

    The main reason why investing digital currency is not worth because majority of countries banned them for unprotected by goverment. This digital currency doesnt have any regulations to prevent any kind of bubbling and speculation to those who bought it, they can alter it however they like and once the price crashed, it will cause huge uproar for investors.
    Thats why I never took this investment due the danger of taking someone's money really easy and once they done, just push self-destruct button and they walk away.
