You can clearly sense that Tom actually understands what he is asking about. You and I and others who understand the subject more deeply may well find it annoying. So I understand your point. Where it's really good that he interrupts him is when he talks about cryptocurrency and tries to talk it up, because it's clear that he has money invested in crypto and wants to see people buy it so he can sell high . I like crypto, but you have to be very careful because of the volatility. Right now BTC is valued very high because Binance stopped listing XMR, but it will probably drop again soon. I liked that he compared buying crypto to gambling his fortune in Las Vegas. So I actually understand you very well. Sorry I didn't make it clear, but I don't think you're a bot. Fortunately, you can still see if it is a "real" person who writes something, but it will be very difficult in the future.

@T: I play the real estate game because I understand inflation (dollar devaluation). I own (4) modest paid-for rentals and I am comfortably "retired" for that insight. Your $420K is well above median retirement savings and if you live to be 85 you may outlive your money. Remember that inflation averaged 4.5% year over year for the past 50 years (I'm 72 and I lived it). That means the prices of commodities double every 11 years and your savings will purchase half of what it does today. You need a 4.5% ROI just to break even. Note: The S&P returned about 8.5% year over year for the past 40 years. The FED counterfeits and bureaucrats spend those bogus dollars for profit and support and we are handed the inflation bill. Lastly. if the price of a commodity can be manipulated it will be. That is how politicians get rich. Good luck!

And in reality it isn't even close to being "profit" and the only reason i had to pay anything out is because the government printing money, so all my time and hours spent working was devalued. Seriously, everywhere you look it is just a rip off. There is no true way to get wealthy. All your money you earn is just continuously getting devalued and any way you try and combat it is robbed by the government. What an absolute joke. So if i put money in cd all the actual profits above fighting inflation is taken away by the government. I'm sick and tired of this crap.
