Likewise, it's enough for their kids to be shown that their parents are financially secure, industrious, prudent, and generous. The kids don't need to know the exact dollar amount in the bank.

I worked with a waiter. It was so sad. He openly told us he was waiting for his parent to die because he was going to inherit all the money. He lived with the "yolo" attitude. Spent every cent he had on crap and money he didnt have. A few years later, I heard through a mutual friend that he was angry as the parent passed away and he didn't end up getting near what he expected. He's verging on bankruptcy. It made my heart so sad. Imagine waiting for something like that? Not trying to make the most of what time you have left together building memories? I dread the day I recieve inheritance. It means I've lost someone I love dearly. I'd rather my parents around than any amount of money.

[@deborahblackvideoediting8697]

I know what you mean. I lost my father three months ago, and it has been so painful. I miss him so much and always will. My mother is 82, and will leave me a modest inheritance some day that will definitely be of assistance after I retire (I'm almost 58). But I would rather never see a dime of that inheritance if my mother could live healthfully for another 20 years!

[@XFizzlepop-Berrytwist]

Well I think it might be important to consider not everyone gets along with their family, or even worse hates their family for whatever reason. Now if its just a case of the guy had a loving family, but he didnt care, and preferred money, yeah, thats pretty bad, and cold.

[@juliawitecka889]

I can’t imagine wanting my parents to die just because of the financial inheritance. In fact, as much as I love picturing how my parents will partake in huge milestones (being there at my wedding, meeting their future grandkids for the first time, etc.), I get sad a bit that that shows how their time is running out.

[@joejoe-bs6jq]

I'm right with you. I tell the story to everyone that I can....my dad and I get haircuts together. We've been going to the same barbershop at the same time for 30 years....I'm in my 40s right now and dad is in his 70s. We are both nearly bald (ok, it's advanced male pattern baldness with a bit in back and the sides, and nothing on top). But, we go together to get our hair cut. Someone will ask why I don't just shave it off...and my response is because "one day, dad and I won't be able to get our haircut together." Maybe he'll be physically unable to, or he'll have passed on, but in any scenario, it's a darn shame and a loss. So, yes, it makes my heart sad that that person you referred to that waited for his parents to die is on the verge of bankruptcy. That is sad that he waited to lose the people that he loved, then is losing the things that he thought he valued and will be left with neither.

When I was in high school, I did this project where you get a fake job and have to budget. It was supposed to prepare us to live on our own. My “job” was just over minimum wage, but because I miscalculated some numbers, I ended up thinking I had WAY more money than I did. I learned my mom made more than that amount (which was low) and ended up thinking she was being cheap and had negative feelings toward her because of it. I had no understanding that it actually costs to live or take care of a family. Most kids will not understand money until they are forced to live on their own. Definitely wait to tell them til they get bigger

I’d rather spend it on stuff that matters Those who buy luxury cars tend to keep chasing that high. It’s just like an addiction. In fact, consumerism is an addiction. And these patterns will lead to people running out of money in a few years when they could’ve retired extremely comfortably had they been intentional with the money Personally, I don’t need a lot to be happy. Having too many things brings about so much mental clutter that I don’t want. Those who find joy in the simple things in life tend to be happier

I watched before work on Monday, the waiter comment was killer! I have knowledge that my wife will likely inherit 7 figures from her father, but I do not let that effect our financial lives. We have built our own seven figure net worth. We're hoping he can be around as long as possible. Very thankful that those attacks on Israel didn't happen a couple of days later or he would be there! His flight was for Saturday night, EEK! I understand wanting to see the Holy Land and I hope he can some day.

What a great story! This man is so deserving of this wealth. May his children become great managers of such wealth.

[@tripledoublegainz3612]

Almost seems impossible to be this damn amazingly humble, wise, and patient. Sounds like he already was winning before the big win. I’m envious in the best possible way for this man and his family.

[@amazonkee74]

I LOVE this dude and his family. What a blessed, intelligent and blessed man.

[@CynthiaByrd648]

Most people dream of being millionaires, but not everyone knows how to build lasting wealth. Wealth gives you freedom from waiting for delayed trains, soulless jobs, financial stress, and more. So go out there, buy your financial freedom, and enjoy life! Have a great life! Cheers! I don't think I could retire with less than $3 million in income-producing investments. I have already achieved 60% of my goal.

[@Ammo-Hoarder]

Everyone needs to hear this, you need to create your own process, manage risk and stick to the plan, thick or thin, while continually learning from mistakes and improving.

[@sommersalt88]

"A good process" is all that is required. When I needed a good push to assist my firm stay afloat, I went to a fiduciary CFP. So I sought for financial advisors and found someone who did their homework and helped me build my reserve from $75,000 to almost $850,000 so far, despite inflation.

[@Suntz_u]

I'm delighted I came across the topic at hand. Could you please tell me how I can get in touch with the CFP who assists you with your investments, if you don't mind?

[@sommersalt88]

I started out with a CFP called "THERESA DANA PEEK". Her honest approach gives me complete ownership and control of my position, and her rates are incredibly affordable given my ROI. However, do your due diligence before contacting a CFP.

[@Suntz_u]

Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing. I will write her an e-mail shortly.

[@MasonJacobo2w]

I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024

[@AidenLiamf7q]

Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.

[@AlexanderOwenb9l]

Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

[@NatalieHannahq3g]

I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?

[@AlexanderOwenb9l]

My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..

[@NatalieHannahq3g]

I searched for her full name online, found her page, and sent an email to schedule a meeting. Hopefully, she responds soon. Thank you

Good decision!!! Never tell anybody!! People will change once they knew. Plus not all will be happy that's a freaking fact. So congrats to you

[@MsMockingbird06]

He’s exactly right! If I won a huge amount in the lottery, I’d only tell my husband and eventually tell my kids the way Dave did.

[@jadziaidaris]

Best advice ever. My uncle won not anything close to this a few months ago and the leeches came asking for money. People are unbelievable.

[@MikeNapoli1989]

They really are. So ignorant

[@juniorgod321]

Block the leeches on all social media sites, ghost them and get a restraining order if they come knocking on your door! You're welcome:)

Its true that whatever weakness or flaws you have gets magnified when great money comes in. I knew two people who had large windfalls and two years later had nothing to show for it, one was bitter the other gave it to family,

I pray if I win this amount of money, that I would remain as humble as this man. But, I would have left my job and no I don’t hate it. There are just so many more things I want to do and these 40 hours a week get in the way!! Congratulations to you sir and your family.

[@voidfroze]

Same! I enjoy my job…but there are SO many other things I enjoy too. If I had this kind of money I’d try to work part time, like 15-20hr a week

[@cjhoward409]

If my hubby and I won that kind of money, he would leave his job and we would go out and help others. My hubby is a builder by trade and works for someone else. He would rather help others that have been down on their luck, or had a fire, tornado or something else destroy their home and not have the resources.

Amen.

Well, since HALF is hers anyway. Maybe she should divorce you and enjoy her $10,000,000 anyway she likes. Cheap, controlling husbands/men. Why can’t she have a % of it to enjoy how she wants. Make a budget TOGETHER and let her enjoy some of it - in her control. Probably a reason she feels the need to spend. Thanks Dave for telling him he needs to enjoy it instead of patting himself on his own back cause he’s so “ perfect and frugal “. Probably controls it all too and wife has little say in the matter. 😅My wife, my wife. How about WE decided. He even said He decided on the patio furniture not “we”.

The advice in the video is valuable for the typical American. What a great lesson to teach his future wealthy kids. I started investing when I was 30 back in 1998. Today, I'm 55 and have a decent $7.2M nest egg, thanks to the careful supervision of my CFP. After learning all of this, my only regret is not starting earlier when I was 25. It may not seem like much but those extra 5 years are the most important.

[@tommyers0]

This is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.

[@MarvishaN]

I completely agree, this is why I decided to give a coach control over my everyday investing decisions. Their proficiency in research, specific knowledge, and risk management makes it difficult for them to deliver below expectations. They emphasize minimizing drawbacks while maximizing risk's asymmetrical potential. I have more than two years of investing coach experience, and I have made more than a quarter of a million dollars.

[@gatesbev]

That's actually impressive!, I could really use the expertise of this CFP , my portfolio has been down bad....who’s the person guiding you?

[@georgeh.5126]

@gatesbev The adviser that guides me is HEATHER LEE LARIONI. She works with Empower FinanciaI services. But there are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. For me, her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on

[@gatesbev]

@georgeh She appears to be well-educated and well-read. She seems proficient considering her résumé. I ran a Google search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

He said he won along with his co-workers. Did he split the winnings with them? Did everyone keep it secret? How did it not get out?

I don't think he would have mentioned it if he stole, probably a powerfully or something 😊

Good question. Maybe they all had a contract where they agreed not to tell who won if they wanted to remain private.

Yes....instead of buying things that you aren't really interested in....perhaps...once a year plan a very cool family vacation and build memories. They think you've saved all year to afford it...but really you are paying cash and building memories. Invest in memories with your family that doesn't revolve around things or disclosing why or how you could buy such and such. Love it!
