Im no investor, Im not ambitious enough to drive an expensive car or have a fancy place to live. For most of my life, money was nothing but a struggle. In recent years Ive changed things enough to live comfortably, and that's enough for me. Bills are paid, foods on the table. I watch your videos for your insight, to see how the other half lives so to speak. I just want to thank you for saying that not everyone has to be a millionaire. If thats what drives you, more power to you. But never lose sight of who you are and what you really want.

I’m convinced Rudy is the best thing to happen to KZbin ever. Even if you’re not a magic player, watching his videos is a better life course than anything you were ever taught in school. Not only are these lessons and information priceless, but he feeds it to you in such a digestible way. Rudy, genuinely, thank you. Thank you for choosing this path and spreading intelligence mixed with joy!

[@cannedhamsters]

When I was in my early twenties I told everyone my age to stay at home. We were in the 3rd most expensive town in the state full of successful engineers, so rent was insane and it was cheaper to just pay mortgage. Some listened and were able to buy houses at 23, some failed and moved back in with mom with nothing by 26.

[@rickrhone8420]

you really think you were the reason why some people stayed home? lol it would have happened the way it happened whether you shared that nugget of wisdom or not lol

[@dinglefangus2612]

You are the realest guy I’ve ever watched when it comes to this subject. You aren’t coming down like some genius that’s better than everyone else. You just tell it like it is.

[@donovanwilliams8807]

One of my first videos I’ve come across of yours and it was very enjoyable and eye opening . Being I just came back to collecting in the last 3 months with the Pokémon hype . I collected as a kid Pokémon , more so yugioh . And after watching the hype , videos and streams of people enjoying Pokémon in the last month I have spent around 3 grand opening packs having fun losing or making money here and there(I don’t sell anything but check prices) . Untill recently I’ve started getting into the investment side and buying items and leaving them sealed I don’t plan to sell anything for a while as I don’t need the money but never thought of the market going down on them . I’ve sorta sucked the fun of wanting to open packs now that all I think about is the money I’m losing in the future opening and not leaving sealed

[@RigorDMG]

crazy how its been a year and i came back to this, great video

Rudy.....I've worked in the finance industry for over 30 years and I think it would be great to sit down and swap stories and perspectives...If it's not to late to add a question, It would be great to hear what you consider to be your most craziest story from the years you spent in the brokerages.....No names, No Company info, just the story.....I've been watching for years, gone through your backlog of videos on numerous occassions and though I dont play MTG, I really enjoy how you blend the game in with the investing/business side of things....Thanks for the laughs and entertainment!

[@imGrisky]

Your videos are so comforting and I think im heading the right way buying myself into a cardboard empire. I am not staying the course since I need to sell some sealed product to buy positions in mordern sealed pokemon. But the cash is coming and im stoked. Ive been creeping around your vids for years keep it up and make it 9 figures!

[@MTGUnpacked]

Interesting background on how the cardboard empire grew from humble beginnings. Appreciate the hard work, Rudy👍

[@jaylab6511]

im in a very different business niche but your advice rings very true. I spend alot of time looking for specific assets, and friends think im crazy when i tell them i dont mind paying a little over market price because if it's hard to come by and price isnt outrageous i know the future value will outshine negotiating over a couple bucks!

[@callmedragon5321]

Rudy you are my kindered spirit. You are an adult clone of my long gone childhood best friend. Not only our love of the fantastic but a relationship of growth. When we were young i thought i was there to help him, being many years older myself. At that time it may have been true, but for silly things, important at the time. With his sister or friends or dealing with school. At the time these were a wall with no solution. Now that he is gone i see so much more, he was very intelligent like you, and not afraid to go his own way. I can only imagine if he was here now. Aaaah dig a hole a and be a carrot, rudy i understand and know this may be the weirdest comment you ever got, but i would go play outside with you any day. Thank you keep up all the amazing videos you are an inspiration and the friend we all miss.

[@poika22]

One commonality I've noticed with a lot of youtubers/people telling stories where they've had an eventful life or been into a lot of hobbies, even if it's just silly stuff like drifting cars while day trading, is that almost all of them also say they don't drink and often never have.

[@rlam4648]

I've been on my own since 18. I discovered the stock market at 11 but my uneducated parents told me it was just gambling and that they wouldn't help me open a joint account. They didn't even exercise the thought. Today I'm 30. I work a corporate tech job. I'm doing well and I'm looking to get a rental property but there is an alternate universe where I had different parents and I'm worth 100x more than what I am now.

Thank you for all your hard work. I, as well as many others, have learned so much from you. Not just about investments and cards, but philosophy and acting as a responsible human. I think your work on the Internet is a benefit to so many and you've helped more people get through hard times than you may realize.

[@EagleXYZLibertarianForChrist]

Fantastic advice. Don't let people shame you for living with your parents. I look at my life and those of the people I grew up with. Those who tried to go at it alone have put themselves through a lot more strife than they needed to. My parents have been amazing people who have given me good council, financial stability, & accountability. Family is the structure that holds you up through the good & bad times. Don't live with your parents to waste away playing video games & other such things. Do something with your life. Try to get ahead & improve. Do your work around the house & serving your family. Be a net positive to your family, not a negative. This is how we make it through.

[@devinearhart6390]

RUDY, please reupload with the rest of the video where this one cut off. It's inspiring to hear about your success. I own a small business and it's just now taking off after the two year point, it's not in collectibles but your videos helped me have the perseverance to keep going forward.

The gun video, the outside Videos, greed monster OG etc. Dreamt of having a collection and just appreciate it. I ordered 2 first edition everfest and will continue with a case of booster boxes for all upcoming FAB editions and just stash them away, because I see potential in that game - magic has grown too diverse for me to get into again. But I cherish my old cards.. tempest, 5th edition etc. Kind regards.

You make a lot of good points - things that are valuable hold there value. The thing to watch out for is making sure you can outlast periods of financial stress since if you can't your going into your "investments" and that's usually time other people are tapping into there "investments" creating a low period. If your low value is already ahead of the price you paid that's good.
