[@realbenhayen]

For anyone who is jealous that he has a mil, I guarantee you he would give it all up to get his dad back. Count blessings and spend time with your dad.

[@Keshaun1986]

Amen money 💰 doesn't make people come back

[@josephinenelan4204]

For real. I didn't even have a "good dad" and yet I miss him

[@achavez78]

FACTS

[@nmarkert01]

My dad tells me all the time ‘when I’m gone you get it all!’ Probably like half a million between the house and assets. As if that’s a consolation prize for the fact that he’d now be dead…. 🙄 he doesn’t even understand why I sarcastically say ‘oh yeah. Can’t wait.’

[@clarifyingquestions]

True - he has his whole life to go through without his dad. No Grandpa. This is heart breaking.

[@leticiareyes2796]

Do not tell your “friends” you have that much money. Please. God bless you and guide you.

[@linuxsurfer2002]

Love Dave's advice not to invest in anything he doesn't understand. Also I agree with the comments not to tell anyone. People treat you differently if you have money, or so it seems.

[@stephensullivan1011]

It is true. It's honestly sad/kinda annoying

[@tedmartin4882]

I would be curious to see where he is in ten years. Best of luck to him. Hope he doesn’t blow it like some of the lottery winners we hear about

[@jdtreharne]

The fact that he's calling Dave to ask him gives me hope

[@I_like_turtles_67]

Most lottery winners were living paycheck to paycheck before they won. So it makes total sense that they'd lack the experience to NOT spend it all.

[@megalodon1726]

Most importantly: Don't tell any of your friends or relatives about this money (except those who already know).

[@candy2325]

[@John.Asante]

His first piece of advice is perfect

[@d.j.daugherty4945]

my mom died of cancer recently and set me up for my future...Coming from someone who likes money (me) it does not buy you happiness and I would give every penny to have my mom with me.

[@happytappyslappy]

I once took a personal financial management class and on the first day’s session, the professor asked a ponder-worthy question: If you had $1M, what would you do with it? You never heard so many gears ⚙️ working in everyone’s heads click so much.

[@wouterty]

I ask myself that every day just to see if I am doing what I love doing. just with 10 million , would I change what I do now? If so I am on the wrong path.

[@azteca6695]

And don't tell anyone!!!!!!!

[@buckybarnes3803]

Also I'm a representative of the Beans and Rice Association and I resent Dave not recommending the usual for this caller. He could keep us in business for awhile

He's a millionaire but at what cost 😔😟

[@xman666soad]

We all pay atonement, sometimes our Father needs to test that payment upfront. It’s part of his mercy and grace, the man was suffering, he was living for his son, but at what cost? Terrible emotional pain on all sides, yes, But don’t question Him, he has your best interest at heart, that’s why he’s the Ultimate Leader. He already gave us hard choices to overcome and show Him how we can be more like Him.

[@hmj8469]

First piece of advice - When you get the million, don't act like you have it. Play your cards right and that million could be tens of million. If I woke up tomorrow and I was 25 I would pay cash for a couple houses, rent them out for cash flow, throw a couple hundred grand in the S&P, then start a business.

[@pedrolopez3755]

Ayeee S&P

[@chucksinger1916]

As usual Dave good sage long in the tooth advice! I hope he educates himself well and takes your advice Principal’s!

[@Anonyme67]

Dave is soooo right. I learned this the hard way

[@monsterous289]

As a 25 yr-old multi-millionare, this is definitely one of David's better videos. Great advice in general. One thing: Don't rely on advisors. If you need an advisor for a subject you know nothing about, then you don't have enough knowledge to know whether the advisor you choose is making sense or is even working against you. Ex: I self-learned everything I need to know about Single-Member LLC's and my taxes, but I still then chose an attorney and CPA respectively to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks.

[@torresthemonster]

How’d you become a multi millionaire ?

[@scapingby]

@@torresthemonster he got a second job delivering pizzas and set a budget obviously

[@teeduck]

So you still didn’t understand things so you hired an attorney and CPA. Go figure

[@monsterous289]

@@teeduck There's no shame hiring a professional to double-check work done

[@teeduck]

@@monsterous289 you said you self learned everything. So if your attorney says your work is wrong are you going to get a 3rd opinion to see who is correct?

[@susancollins2380]

Avoid debt. Cut cost. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. I have purchased growth stocks this past few weeks. I'm going to sit back and observe how this plays out, adding more at a time. My investment strategy with my F,A Rita Wildrin Mora gives me the best returns even during recessions. Its been a year of steady growth.

[@jaynaparker8874]

Pretty impressive, I have been on the wrong side for far too long and I'm willing to make consultations to improve my situation. Can she help me?

[@robertharvel6482]

Our mentality is messed up, we validate ourselves with wasteful vanities. I'm also on my way to the millionaires club from investing in stocks. It's a long term plan for me.

[@craigrussell2045]

@@jaynaparker8874 I did a quick search and found her web page. Her resume is quite remarkable, I wrote her and I'm waiting on her reply.

[@ghostoferlock]

Very important, listen when Dave says of investment planners, professionals, etc. A good investor realises what they don't know. If someone tells you they know exactly how things will go, listen to a point. Someone who looks at what they don't know will make more thought through choices.

[@Tammacazi10]

[@uptobatentertainment]

My cousin recently passed away from ALS ( Lou Gehrig Disease ) RIP Ben. It’s extremely hard to watch your Dad / loved one suffer from a debilitating terminal illness that has no cure. RIP to all of those who have suffered from ALS & any other terminal illnesses..

[@buckybarnes3803]

This is a recurring caller and Dave missed some opportunities again. Finish your degree, take a lot of finance courses while you're there, and ask yourself how would your dad want you to manage all that money and what would he approve or disapprove of. After all he worked all his life for it.

[@ehiggins7476]

Nothing wrong with Dave's advice. Principles is the bases to success, and to manage that much money he needs to focus on that. I agree with you about finishing school and honoring the memory of his dad but It all boils down to principles.

[@Rocky-uy7sd]

Hindsight bias. I’m sure Dave would answer many questions, maybe all, somewhat differently if he had the time to analyze and properly deliver each case individually.

[@marcusarelius]

Invest it all! Create a plan that has you walking away from a job or corporate America by the age of 40 or before! Do that!!!!

Do your homework. Get a financial education. Don’t invest all of your money in mutual funds so you can finally enjoy it when you’re almost dead. Again, financially educate yourself. Read books. Start compounding while you’re young.
