RBA interest rate don't disturb me anymore.. Happy fruitful year, I'm beyond excited! In just one week I'll be debt-free, having paid off my entire $285,000 debt and begun a new chapter of financial freedom.

How were you able to do It?

[@EmilyChen-q4n]

Am a born Christian and sometimes I feel so down of myself 😭 because of low finance but I still believe God

[@HermanBerkley]

its luck, it's me just being at the right place at the right time. I met a financial and trading consultant at a seminar back at Los Angeles later last year, where she was featured and interviewed and I reached out to her afterwards. Her name is Laura Bledsoe, I didn't know much about trading and investing so I spoke to her about it, she then later introduced me to her platform where I and other people could invest.

A CNBC news host spoke highly big about this woman and her loss preventing strategies. Been trying to reach her since. Thanks y'all for the info.

Team I haven't got an answer on the previous video - you invested in the Munro small cap fund but I can't find that fund on any broker?

[@marcoschena99]

Rate cut - I still can't see it happening. Economy too hot. Employment too strong. Noise is very loud in the media, but is not reflective in people's bank accounts and consumers spending habits across the country. Shopping centre car parks still full and airports full. Banks are reporting a reduction in Home loan payment holidays. Anyway let's see what happens in February.

Hi guys, for someone in their mid 20’s with a high growth portfolio and long term horizon, is it worth having bonds as a small part of a portfolio or is this something to incorporate into a retirement strategy later on?

I can’t see the the value in bonds at your age when you can open a ubank saver and collect 5.5% risk free. The only thing that will screw you is having to sell in a down turn . Save up at least 3months of living expenses in case of an emergency and go ham on growth while you’re young. 80-90% asx/world etf and 20-10% high yield savings account. And of course make sure you have paid off all your dept.
