Great video. We all strive for financial independence and better life. It’s not difficult in achieving this through the right investment, living frugally, and budgeting. I’m glad I learned early in life to work hard for financial freedom

[@harrisonjamie794]

In my opinion, venturing into a good investment is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting it. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely, For this reason, I advise seeking help from professionals(financial advisors). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books the challenge is using them well.

[@MarcelPhilips]

@@harrisonjamie794 sincerely, I’m truly inspired by your words. I’m very interested in investing and I have got a good sum of money which I’m ready to put in with the right information. My biggest fear is losing my money on the wrong investment. For this reason, I’m willing to listen to your suggestions and ideas on how to invest wisely.

[@harrisonjamie794]

@@MarcelPhilips As an OAP with a lot of experience, I firmly believe that the success of any investment depends on having the right information, regardless of what others say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer always says "be greedy when others are fearful and be fearful when others are greedy". This is certainly the trick to succeeding even when others fail. I made $100,000 working with KRISTIN GAIL CUNNINGHAM a licensed financial adviser . It’s been a promising experience so far with her.

Private equity (PE) refers to capital investment made into companies that are not publicly traded.

[@dr.ervingalen1777]

Leveraged buyouts (LBOs) and venture capital (VC) investments are two key PE investment sub-fields

[@jewellwalker9808]

Most PE firms are open to accredited investors or those who are deemed high-net-worth, and successful PE managers can earn millions of dollars a year.

@@rahultoggi4672 I still prefer real estate over stocks or crypto, Nfts. Perhaps it's because I had a front row seat watching so much carnage during the 2000 dotcom bubble and the 2008-2009 financial crisis that has me jaded.

[@noelstout3056]

@Joe Robert. I firmly believe everyone striving for financial independence should own both stocks and real estate. The percentage weighting of each asset class as part of your portfolio will then be up to you to decide. At least with stocks, when the market is plunging, you can sell, albeit at a loss. Lots of people couldn't sell their real estate, couldn't afford to sell in 2007-2011.

@@noelstout3056 Absolutely, i made my first 6 figure at a go during a crash. I retired with a 7 figure portfolio and I'm currently receiving about $500k annual earnings. I didn't achieve that by playing safe. My earnings comes from stocks and profits from the crypto market as well. All this were possible with the guidance of my personal trading broker Frost Hilda, who helped build a portfolio that's has helped cleared my debt. Retirement came early with no regrets.

Would this work if I’d set up a private equity fund ltd to get the investors to fund those deposits for my another ltd ?
