I randomly found your channel and it's been so fun living vicariously through you and the people you meet/interview. One suggestion, you may want to invest in a better mic/wind protector for the mic for your videos, as the audio quality can be rough to listen to at times. Keep up the great work!

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them.

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields

[@georgeearling905]

This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?

[@bernardlynch5226]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $485k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently

[@rodgertim2881]

Wow, that's stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio

I’m loving your videos 😊 I keep researching and my husband has til 57 before he retires we are 54 now he works for UPS so I can’t get him to leave now even though he has 30 years already, it’s worth for him to stay a few more years the pension goes up a lot . But you will be on my list of people to talk to maybe come look around in February he takes a month then and you at that beach club has got me thinking good thoughts. Keep up the good work you and your family are great . Thank you !

You’ll be very glad done the line when you get that extra money. We hung on for 2 years working just for this reason. That extra money means more freedom down the line. Just my opinion though. You gotta do you. Good luck with your plans!

I would love to see how the $1500 breaks down . 🙏🏻I don’t pay rent, have solar, eat at home, and still can’t even get close to that number in Merida.

[@MoveAbroadandThrive]

I'll break it down in another video (our numbers were very close to that previously) prior to moving. Keep in mind, plenty of local Mexican families are living on $500-$700 USD per month with a family of 3-5 and they're making it work. A recent client is living on $1,300 and another is living on $900 (it's definitely doable) and none have solar and even eat out once or twice a month. May see if I can get them to break down their budget.

[@MoveAbroadandThrive]

I have several hundred videos on this channel where i freely give; i dont think anyone could ever say or believe that i dont give or that they distrust me when i hold some stuff back. Some stuff, people will just need to research on their own and do a little work if they’re really serious about making this or anything happen. I dont feel I’m obligated to share or give anything away, but i do because i am a generous person (the few hundred videos on my channel shows my generosity). Now heres the backstory; some things i no longer share because when i have, folks go to the places and act a slap fool. On several occasions these local businesses have reached out to me and have asked me if i would remove some of the videos i posted recommending their place. Folks have gone to these places with attitudes and disrespect, so you may or may not notice i dont put out recommendations often because of it. I’ll share from time to time but not too much any more.

[@MoveAbroadandThrive]

And Robert was joking (sorta, lol)

[@Dan-xx5jq]

@@meliw4142 it is sad folk think the US is the best country until they go overseas and see how the rest of the world is. These developing countries have some of the friendless people. They don't judge you on what you own. I see many Americans who never want to go back to the States with the hate and stress. But if you can't deal with a few things like a gecko in your room or a few bugs, than by all means stay in the US. Whenever I traveled overseas I hated coming back to the US. When you leave the US you feel a tremendous weight has been lifted off your shoulders. I don't know what it is, but it just feels a huge burden is on your shoulders in the US. It is so difficult to understand the psychology of why that is the case. Sadly Americans are raised to believe that America is the greatest country in the world. Sure some things are easier but it all comes with tremendous stress. You will see folk with just a bare essentials in these developing countries, living such happy lives. And we with all our gadgets are miserable. Sure it feels good to buy the best iPhone but it wears out pretty quickly and then you are looking for the next material thing to make you happy. And America is the not the greatest country in the world, I am sorry, we are good at selling a lie. It is like all the glitz and glamor of Las Vegas but very few people know that there is a whole city of people that live underneath the city. Everything is great until you miss that first paycheck and you too are on the streets. We have the highest suicide rate we have ever had. The reason crime is high is because of the stress. Then everyone is trying to medicate themselves with drugs. Once you travel overseas to just the poorest countries you will realize that you have been lied to that America is the greatest country in the world. You are nothing but a consumer to the rich billionaires who convince you need the most expensive vehicle or the most expensive phone. They hike the prices and then offer you a payment plan so that you are hooked for life. It is sad to see folk say, oh look how dirty the water is when they have no way of proving how dirty it is. There are several factors as to why the water looks 'dirty' and yet all are natural reasons. Eating the fresh fish and the vegetables is the equivalent to shopping at 'Whole Foods in the US. Your food here is not packed with all kinds of chemicals and preservatives like in the US. So take your pick!
