I’m a Financial Wreck

This should be a wake up call to everyone. You must start planning your retirement once you turn 18. The earlier you start, the easier it is to

[@juleswifey6003]

can I start when I'm 6?

[@rillawhat8142]

These calls are exactly why I've been driven to build wealth for over 30 years, despite 99% of my community trying to push the "live for today" mentality. They don't see the barrage of life challenges coming, so they are ALWAYS unprepared. Not picking on the lady, but years ago, when she made 6 figures, if someone suggested that she save and invest a minimum of $20,000 a year, she may have chosen to "enjoy life" for moment.

[@annaburns2865]

I wish I could even earn 20,000 a year.

[@brightpage1020]

You know you are sitting on a high horse throwing shade and starting rumors based on conjecture you have no evidence to suggest. Stop being so self righteous and start accessing compassion. Belittling her for choices you don't even know if she made only pumps up your own ego - falsely, by the way. You just come across as an egomeniacle jerk. You just come here to fluff your feathers by putting other birds down? Maybe hindsight is 20/20. Does your comment help her or anyone struggling with this? Is it valuable to her to hear you tomd her so long ago... Even though she's never even met you probably? You know I was like you. I thought it was simple and easy as long as you worked consistently at it. I had over $1 million saved. I planned a family and saved for retirement as well as a home and to provide for them so when my kids were born we wouldn't have to worry about anything. And we didn't - for a while... Until the world began changing. But all it takes is 2-3 like big medical craptacular events you can't control happening around the same time or a getting sideswiped by divorce or the death of a loved one... Or whatever - to wipe out a fortune. I mean a fortune of savings and investments. (No divorce here, medical was all it took bit I have seen folks fall who might have even been migbtier than you - Heaven forbid, right?) 1 special needs kid that sends you I to a different bracket of insurance necessity despite healthy pregnancies - just had complicated births. Plus an extra set of snow tires plus - whoops and unforseen.... Whatever. Life happens. You don't make 6 figures by accident. This woman is capable of wise, intelligent decisions and planning. And executive function. To treat her like a peon instead of a person because of what she might be going through only exposes the harsh cruelty of your own maladaptive character's true nature. Huff off on your high horse, then, Snarky! May you never fall off or break your neck, jumping. Sincerely. I pray you get to stay on top indefinitely. But I'm also a realist. I don't think you'd even have the guts to get into eventing. Google: equestrian 3 day eventing. Dare you to look it up and report back. Bet you're too scared to even google it. Because folks in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. And you know it. Besides, if your Elon Musk levels of dividedens on good decisions are so prosperous for you why can't you throw her a bigger bone of support than subjection? Because it would never occur to you. You're too busy being snide and haughty about your higher and mightier status than the folks who call for help anxious through a desperate season. How dare you?

I wish Dave would’ve taken this call. There are so many holes in this story. They didn’t even ask her what her previous job was, what is her level of education, what is preventing her from returning to that previous job (because she stated she is physically capable now), or at least acquire a similar job. Was her job that niche? I’m so confused.

It almost doesn’t matter what she did in het previous career. A 58 yo person (especially a woman) faces huge hurdles to employment. I’m not sure why she isn’t on disability, frankly.

That may be the case. But if Dave had taken the call he would’ve had to pay her psyche hospital bills. Because he would’ve made her suicidal on live radio. You can’t just treat people like shit and get away with it. And to be honest, I don’t really think she was making 6 figures in American money but in Holland. It’s like she was making 6 Euros.

What McDonalds is hiring for $20 an hour?

[@dearestdarling9467]

I see that sign in a lot of places, but I’m in MA. Starbucks and Taco Bell are hiring managers for $25 and hour. I can’t imagine employees are too far behind

[@r3lativ3lyd3lib3r8]

Usually it's for management. The sign just says that to entice people to apply.

The reason I decided to work closely with a brokerage adviser ever since the market got really tense and the pressure became so much(should be retiring in 17months) so I've had a brokerage adviser guide me through the chaos, its been 9months and counting and I've made approx. 650K net from all of my holdings.

[@Kelvinmeans79]

​@KyleLearI always thought about how to grow my money but I found nothing. You seem to have understood that would you advise me please?

[@Esmeraldalunamaria]

​@astronot6It's sad. But things like that happen if you don't have proper guidance. I'm sure Ms. Theresa will know exactly how to direct you and help you recover what you've lost. She has a lot of experience in these cases.

[@Kelvinmeans79]

​@KyleLearI would always be willing to do this in the long run as long as I am certain of success. I think I've heard Ms. Theresa Cann mentioned a few times before and I believe this number of people talking about one person can't be wrong about their experiences.

[@Kelvinmeans79]

I have read that profitable ventures takes time to mature. It applies to anything you want to grow even your money.

[@Douglasmcgrew]

How do you know Ms. Theresa Cann too? With the help from her, i have increased my wallet to over 5x and even recovered everything I had lost trying to do things myself. I highly recommend it.

[@pingupenguin2474]

Why are she and hubby in different countries ? If he's a Dutch citizen and 75, he should have a pension. If you are his wife then you are likely safer and more protected in Europe, with your husband. If the refugees can do it.. !

She sounds super anxious and stressed. She needs to relax and maybe listen to Alan Watts and Eckhart Tolle and Boards of Canada music

[@Dr.irenebuenavistamolina]

She needs a mental health provider that can prescribe antidepressants or anxiolytics as soon as possible. Her anxiety is way through the hoops, she has to fix her state of mind first, otherwise, no amounts of coaching will work.

She is 58 year old. It’s call age discrimination ,,, that’s why she can’t get a half way good Paying job,,, once you reach a 6 figure salary the age and time is against you,,,Companies Let employees go by downsizing,,Once you reach a certain age,,, you are old in the corporate World, it happens all the time,,, And all the pep talk,, by Dr John,,, is not going to chance her life situation,,,, unless Doctor gives her a Time Machine,,,,

[@drn13355]

She isn't going to get a 6 figure job. She is going to be working at Arby's. Arby's aint going to fire her for age discrimination. Places like that are so desperate for help they will let her work until she is 100.

[@NoRegertsHere]

Probably some other barriers she needs to get over before she is an issue with her

[@catherinewilke5583]

Agree. I was happily working at almost 50, and then two of my same aged colleagues and I were all let go. Seems the admins decided that we were too expensive. Age discrimination is alive and well in the American economy.

Have yall thought about telling people to uber? Ive heard its good income

Hmm, obviously, telling somebody like her to just work fast-food jobs is bullshit, but she actually bought it. One day, perhaps, there’ll be a sob story so _prima facie_ hopeless that no financial guru will say anything but, politely, “You’re fucked.”

[@pingupenguin2474]

I've heard Dave say it, in the form of " I can't help you" to people who aren't ready/ willing to change/ act. But never does he leave people like this without hope sometimes he aims to build a support structure around them, as George tries to do here.

[@evanswilson8369]

The wisest thought that is in everyone's minds today is to invest in different income flows that do not depend on the government, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a good time to invest in gold, silver and digital currencies (BTC, ETH.... stock,silver and gold)

As a newbie you’ll need to invest in a company that is working towards sustainability, like that of expert Angela Mae McClain, and her abilities in handling investments are top notch
