If it’s government over corporations then that’s socialism. Government exploits, cost are higher, they never want you to grow, move up independently but rather keep you down to dependency. No one wants socialism. Capitalism is a free market economy where we compete with other businesses for customers dollars. Democrats are socialist and do not want you to rise.

People listen up - this video is a great rare diamond of immense value. He's right, I'm proof. I do nearly exactly what he's saying. I have a job, I invest in a 401K, Roth IRA, stocks, and rental property. I save over $2,700 a month on average and after everything else is paid for. By the way, my job? I'm a security officer. That's it.

I started investing at 19, got huge into finance and exploring side hustles over the past 4 years after that. A lot of my side hustles are amplified by my knowledge of finance. i work full time and do multiple side hustles all for the purpose of investing aggressively. I'm considered wealthy for my age but at 18 i was poor and come from a lower class family who knows nothing about money. What changed my life was my mindset.

[@mvloz113]

Also you say Bitcoin isn't an asset and I don't entirely disagree with you but I also recommend you look into understanding what blockchain technology is. If you understand what Bitcoin is below the face value you can see the potential value in it and why maybe not Bitcoin specifically but blockchain is a step in the right direction for finance.

[@brothachromatid]

As a retail investor who very vividly remembers all of the MSM rhetoric regarding the COVID crash (I was fully tuned in to Cramer and CNBC, Yahoo, Fox Business, and the like), what I took from that was buying anytime in 2020 was going to be like throwing money into an incinerator. Even in the context of a record "Fed Put". I didn't know what I didn't know, and didn't realize these talking heads really just had no interest in collective well-being and progress. The result was me not buying into conditions that lead to one of the most historic bull runs. Fool me once. I, and my future self thank you deeply for sharing this information.

Thanks Tobi for saying what isn’t taught through our education system. It’s a long held belief of mine. One important point missing from your text…”learn how to buy smart and sell smart…” I’m on the markets daily and I’ll tell you that we love fresh meat in the arena. Learning how to trade is paramount.

[@carlajones8741]

Becoming financially literate is key. Its not taught in school but there's tons of opportunities to learn. I suggest rich Dad poor dad, Robert Kiyosaki. Btw, there's audio on KZbin. Also, libraries have free books if you can't buy it. Reset your habits . mindset.

[@DieselDog358]

[@haveaday1812]

No no no. Robert kioski is a grifter, and he’s in debt up to his eyeballs. Dave Ramsay is much better. Slow and steady growth and don’t have. Debt or liabilities. That’s real financial freedom.

[@HattoriHanzo-fg8cy]

@@haveaday1812 Not all debt is bad debt. If you want real estate most of the time you have to borrow. The key is income producing real estate that more than covers the debt payment. You cash flow monthly plus build equity while someone else is doing the work. Things that depreciate is bad debt. Credit card and cars is bad debt.

[@sanderdeboer6034]

This is an American viewpoint! Here in the civilized world it IS different. Here government (in general) take care of its citizens, with affordable accessible high quality healthcare. Proper safe roads, affordable accessible high quality education. A proper welfare system and the best pension system in the world allows people to overcome difficulties in life and to become part of the wealthiest generation in society. And even though we have safety systems in place we still are a saving society. Creditcards are hardly used, you first save up before you buy. This is what I don't understand about Americans. They have far fewer safety nets and yet they live like there is no tomorrow.

[@paolamura3497]

Ever seen an American emigrate??

[@sanderdeboer6034]

@@paolamura3497 Yes, many times. I actually know a dozen Americans who immigrated to my country. According to several sources over 3 million Americans from the USA have emigrated to other countries, including many to Europe. And I don’t see how this is relevant, because if you are poor in the USA, you can’t afford emigrating. Over 30 million Americans can’t even afford basic healthcare, causing 80,000 deaths a year. Over 60 procent of US citizens don’t even have a passport and most Americans including you apparently believe the propaganda that the USA is the best country in the world. While the USA objectively is the worst OECD nation in the world and even on basic necessities scores lower than many developing countries. The people who are able to emigrate are usually the ones with a good education, proper prospects and enough money to do so. Plus you can’t just emigrate to another country (except within the EU) without the proper documents and meetings stringent requirements. This point is often raised as to say that the USA is so good because few or no Americans emigrate and a lot of people want to go to the USA. First point is nonsense, and the second point doesn’t proof the USA is the best country in the world. Because their are many much poorer countries than the USA in the world, actually most other countries, the USA is attractive to people from these countries. And can even be attractive to highly educated people who can get a good job in the USA. Because if you have (enough) money the USA can be great. However to be considered civilized a country should provide the basic necessities to ALL its citizens and the USA doesn’t! Many Americans live below the poverty line, live in food desserts in very poor underdeveloped neighborhoods with poor infrastructure. While we obviously also have poor people here in the EU and here in the Netherlands, they receive a lot of benefits from a civilized society. So your argument doesn’t make sense on many levels!

😮DAMNN DID NOT KNOW I COULD BORROW FROM MY STOCKS.. DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO ON HOW

[@famicomnintendo]

It's caller a trading margin. Works like an equity line of credit but with stocks. You get a maximum LTV limit and since you pledge collateral, the rate is low so it can be profitable. But there are risks, if you max out the margin line of credit then your stocks go down, you could face a margin call and get liquidated.

These are the things that should be taught in high school

[@Mr.Lateralus]

Which is exactly what they don’t want to teach… they want the next generations to be stupid and ignorant on how to be wealthy…. The deeper reason for this is they don’t want competition…. “They” ladies and gentlemen want actually worse for you… it’s not a conspiracy. Their desire is for you to die off. So… with that said it’s time for you to all wake up.

Never gonna happen. But it is already taught at elite schools where the wealthy send their children.

[@CasualStoic]

Our school forced us to fake a financial class for graduation and I get the point of it but holy 💩 was it outdated and mostly irrelevant like yes there was some actual advice in there but they don't tell you stuff like this they set it up like if your supposed to get liabilities and do this and that. It's like if schools made this way are only meant to make cattle. I've said this to my friends many times how we walk the same paths to each class the same way every single day. Even the way we get food feels like a prison style and like cows lining up to be slaughtered.

Excellent video! Subscribed! And I like your attitude that there's enough for everybody. We live in a competitive society, but we don't have to have cutthroat attitudes at all times in every venue to succeed. And if you succeed but in the process alienate family and friends and strangers, well, that's success of a kind, but of a kind that in hindsight might not be the spot where you wanted to wind up after all.

[@DrDsIT]

And doing the math is another way to find out your home is not an asset after you've lived in it for 30 years and finally paid it off and it's doubled in appreciation but the interest you paid to the bank was double the appreciation and the taxes you paid were another 30% and the maintenance was another 30% of the value.

Which is why it's not an investment nor should be considered one. If it was investor friendly what would happen to the feasibility of home ownership for non investors

[@bcardamone]

Dude …. If you borrow money to buy something … you’re paying interest. It doesn’t mean what you bought isn’t an asset. The loan is a liability, the thing you bought is an asset. Assets are anything that has value. You buy disposable assets, depreciable assets, and appreciable assets. The fundamental issue I have with this video is that it tries to redefine what an asset is and confuse it with income. Two separate things

[@MsBillieTK]

Thank you. After having been a bit wiped out by being dragged into someone else's drama, compiled by a brain injury that made me have to relearn a lot of things - I forgot about this. (Although I did just carve out a month to review stocks and reteach myself that- so I'm making progress.) This video - so helpful to have a summary to remind me why I was doing what I was doing before that - and then learn from the mistakes, now that I have a better path forward. I've actually had entities for a number of years as I moved states and knew that was step 1 to doing things differently, but then I had no idea how to use them - and attorneys and accountant weren't really explaining. You and Clint's channels have been so helpful! Looking forward to my strategy session and Saturday training day so I can learn even more. And then excited to once again have a path forward so that the past does not repeat.

There's an important caveat missing after you discuss borrowing cash against stocks to buy more stocks or other assets. If those investments decrease in value, you're now screwed two ways.
