I find that both Warren and Charlie inspired hope in people that is part of the attraction they are just so inspirational

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.

[@Fahima9Tazin]

True, A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for license advisors and came across someone of due diligence, helped a lot to grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to approx. $850k so far.

[@LagerthaJackson]

Mind if I ask you to recommend how to reach this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out unlike the rest of us.

[@Fahima9Tazin]

Finding financial advisors like Vivian Jean Wilhelm who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

[@LagerthaJackson]

Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.

Luck. How else can you explain why someone 10 dies and someone live to be 90. Why is someone is born in America and someone is born in Gaza. I faced death a number of times in my life I used to give God credit for it but now I agree Warren Buffett it was luck

[@jayjason423]

here is an idea. Maybe that "luck" could increase if we got overpopulation under control. That way more countries could actually function and war would decrease. But Warrens son is too busy feeding them and feeling good about himself. And Warrens party is too busy busing them here.

[@testing6753]

luck, fate and destiny are given to you by God. Now the question of why some people are lucky and some aren't, we won't know until we meet God ourselves.

[@dynamikausa]

God seems to be indifferent to who enjoys his luck, but individuals can affect their luck to certain extend ​@@testing6753

I ❤ Warren Buffet so much

[@Darkbluedevil]

Ive always heard Mr.buffet greatest attribute is modesty!

[@Dr.Weed8]

Close, it’s another word that start with “M” $$$$ I love buffet though. I tried eating like him once to see if my investing would be better. 12 cokes a day, McDonald’s , Kraft mac and cheese and toffee candy. 45% CAGR it’s that easy folks. 😂

[@kaynewest6167]

Warren , “ when i’m avoiding bad luck I usually stay away from broken people or people suffering , I mean bad luck not people suffering, i mean avoiding negative experiences , Warren 😀

[@sumitbhattacharya4402]

Amazing that he is so enthusiastic meets people attend such functions at 93

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

Ur good at spilling ideas of life live it❤❤🎉🎉

[@walden6272]

Find your husband while in school is sound advice. Good ones are taken in school.

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

Politics markets don't seem to be in sync with me i would like to do and finish at my own pace and knowledge good luck with your lives❤❤

[@Gengingen]

The life expectancy in the US for the poor is worse than some of the lesser known countries. So no WB, you are not the “people” in general.

[@willtwain1383]

I love Warren's humility. Unfortunately, the audience is only listening for great investment tips, not great character tips.

[@matt.stevick]

With Charlie and Warren their philosophies on investing and character are interwoven not separate. They are in their own class.

[@jordanjansco2611]

I disagree. I was present and I listened for more wisdom and insight rather than investment advice.

[@willtwain1383]

@@jordanjansco2611 Good choice.

[@shankarbalakrishnan2360]

I can see the markets tanking not proud of anyone ❤❤🎉🎉

[@ShirleyCynthia]

My investments in stocks and crypto are not meeting my expectations. Any last minute tips to improve my situation and make more $$$? I really need some urgent advice

[@Deniseamber]

I agree that there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such executions are usually carried out by investment experts or advisors with experience

[@kelvinjeff3893]

[@johntrevizan8183]
