I'm a Florida man that spent 6 years (middle and high school) living overseas in turkey and Marshall Islands. Now your have to respect my opinion! 😂 Here's my unpopular opinion about philanthropy: by and large giving away money doesn't really change anything. Lasting change mostly comes through relationship. Look at Haiti. Money is a quick fix bandaid solution but relationship is where true and lasting change occurs. Your greatest asset is human capital aka relationships with people.

[@Erosis]

Couple things: you don't straight give cash. You build infrastructure and programs (and hopefully you are paying experts to help you do this efficiently). Also, your mileage will vary based on the corruption index. You probably want to focus on sectors and/or countries that are not going to abuse your aid unless you are working with some incredibly knowledgeable philanthropic organizations.

[@neolithic3]

Giving money can and does help. It depends on the charity and the cause. One of the charities I have in my will is a charity that does eye operations on people in low income countries. Simple surgery for cataracts and other things like that. Giving someone the ability to see is pretty life changing. You can't help the entire world but you can help SOMEONE'S world. I hope you see what I mean.

[@PrimitiveTim]

@@neolithic3 yeah I totally agree with you. My point is more that we often throw money at big issues like poverty thinking it will help and it doesn't. Whereas there are issues in our own neighborhoods that can really only be solved through relationship.

I'm nowhere near the 100k mark, but I started traveling once I wasn't living paycheck to paycheck, and It's been a huge positive influence in my life. I'm at the grocery-freedom level, and can make still budget travel (hostels, etc), so it's still doable with a few sacrifices like skipping takeout meals, coffee, etc. Complete travel freedom is my goal ♥️

Travelling. Best decision of my life. ever. ever. ever

[@Yolomamba24]

I try to plan a weeklong trip at least once a year. I think it's so important to make time for it while you are still young. I think these experiences are much more valuable now than they will be when I'm 50 or 60+. As much as I'd like to retire early, I've began to see how much I value a work life balance rather than following FIRE and grinding out my 20s and 30s to barely get by when I retire early. I'm happy compromising a bit of the grind to enjoy what life has to offer while I'm still young.

Wealth is relative. I traveled many many countries starting in my early 20's. My expenses were under $1,000/month. Increase your budget, you increase your comfort level. And a good amount is around $2,000/month. When you do not have a J.O.B and you can make money online, you have freedom to do anything. Even if you don't have online work, there are millions of ways to make money in a short period of time and then travel the world comfortably for a long time. I had not needed to make over $100k or a million to do that.

I'm 18, and have really gained more interest in personal finance now that I'm going off to college and will be looking after my own finances. I'm so glad that I've found your channel because I now feel much more confident about how to handle money and build wealth going into adult life. A couple of months ago I barely new what investing was, and now I'm allocating a percentage of my part time job income into investing in the stock market.

[@ChrisCiotti6]

Marko, I have a disagree with your analogy about the farmer in Kansas with 4 millions. Just because a person has the money and is willing to travel the world does not mean they have more knowledge or their opinion holds more weight. The best things about this world can often be found right at home. This life is about family, friends, treating others with respect and being a good person. This is true across all cultures and people on planet earth. A person can understand these things without traveling the world and person who has traveled the world cannot understand these things. Not everyone desires to travel, sometimes they have everything they want at home. Just my opinion, thanks for making great videos.

[@jbandt]

I was thinking this as well. Just because you don't travel doesn't mean you haven't done anything. 4 million could turn into generational wealth if handled responsibly.

[@bluegorillacookies]

Don't wait until you have one hundred million dollars to be generous. By that metric, most will miss out on the blessing of helping others. Don't think you need to start the next Gates foundation before you help people who are hungry. In reality, most Americans are far more wealthy than the majority of the world.
