Thank you for your presentation. I found it a little too fast to be able to absorb all the information.

"Don't Try to get Happiness" really powerful. (Enjoyment, Satisfaction and Meaning)... it is the experience (the process).

[@filippodecardona8168]

the idea of 3 components of happiness - enjoyment, satisfaction, meaning - is so true, yet so often forgotten!

This year might be even worse than the last. Last year, I lost a lot of money on bad investments that I never would have made if I hadn't been so worried about my portfolio. I didn't know if I should continue to invest or pay my mortgage off. After selling my investments, I discovered that the house needed more work than I thought it would. I don't know how long I can keep doing this

[@ArchieJohnson5h]

We have all made mistakes, therefore keep it simple

Invest in businesses that have predictable cash flows to diversify your holdings. In the ten months after I hired a planner to assist me build my portfolio at the end of 2023, I have made money in over 500 different markets. If 2023 teaches us anything, it's that good luck never lasts. We should work harder to be ready for the worst case scenario even in good times.

Okay, so where can i locate a reliable financial planner? I have no trouble finding out the expert who assisted you. In two years, I'll be retiring, and I could need guidance managing my possessions. Not ready to take a chance.

I would appreciate and would be more convinced that this presentation is not part of a whole new industry, if your speaker spoke in a calmer way.
