I'm so thankful my mindset is in line with yours and I do share lots of your information with a few like minded friends regularly

I was a teacher. Teachers get three months a year off and a million dollar pension with free health care. Teachers live in a golden bubble where they can't lose their job. I went into home building. What a shock. Had to work hard and market risk. Big risk. Luckily my wife was a nurse. Now retired, two paid for rentals, paying me $4,000 per month so I can be retired. Math matters. Do the math. My plumber makes $180 per hour, $360,000 per year, more than a medical doctor. Get it? Do the math.

[@mrniceguy423]

I say this all the time when people complain teachers don't make enough. I realize there is lesson planning, grading, time outside of class etc... but you literally get the whole summer, spring break, Christmas break, I'm probably missing another holiday. It adds up to roughly four months off.

[@Anna-ll3yy]

I'm retired at 47, This video here reminds me of my transformation from a nobody to having over 65,000 biweekly profit, a honest partner and a good daughter full of love ❤️

[@Fernandosasx]

I can still remember the exact feeling on my biggest payday in the market. Imagine taking home $407k just from 12k initial deposit. For the newbies I'll encourage anyone to embrace copytrade as the best approach especially when you're a newbie

[@TerryFredrick-n8z]

I thank Maria Kelce who has always been there to help me with detailed analysis and recommendations that I would not have had access to otherwise.

[@Karemmuncle]

Please who is this Mrs Maria This sounds so good and I would love to be a part of it, is there a way to talk to her?

[@roybuisson]

YES! That is exactly her name (Mrs Maria) . I saw her interview on CNN News and so many people highly recommended her and her trading skills❤️ Can I start with as low as $1,000?

True the govt wants you poor. It makes them money. I've often worked crazy overtime in the fall to pay property taxes. Then worked crazy overtime in the spring to cover income taxes, due to all the money I made to cover property taxes.

[@Ekam-Sat]

In my humble opinion, property taxes should be faded out and replaced with a tax on the upper 1%.

[@lazydayB2B]

@annie you worked yourself so much because you really can't afford the lifestyle you want. .gov doesn't want you poor. that's a victim mentality.

[@davidrpriest]

I would use the word DEPENDENT. The government needs you dependent.

[@Tammy-iz5rz]

The government does what the big corporations want. Regulations, taxes, permits etc are to help the big corporations and hurt the mom and businesses. We need to go back to a family based economy instead of a corporate based economy. In a free market there are no corporations because the government doesn’t charter corporations in a free market.

[@AverageAmerican-m2m]

Contrary to this DOW also just hit a record high. I'm optimistic about the prospect of the market. Also keeping an eye on digital currencies. I'm seeking ways I could divest some of my portfolio, maybe around 150k, to include digital currencies. Can you make a video on that?

[@Diane-c7b]

A long-term approach can definitely help with navigating market volatility. set clear goals, focus on quality Investments, stay patient and avoid emotional reactions.

[@BrianMattews-i7t]

Such uncertainties are the reasons I don’t base my judgement on a ''heresay''. My dollar portfolio is made up of 30% S&P500, 25% Index funds(ETFs),15% Gold and over 30% in digital assets, thanks to my CFA for this accurate asset allocation. This strategy is what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 80% capital growth minus dividends.

[@AlbertGReene-p8w]

I find your situation fascinating. Would you be willing to suggest a trusted advisr you've worked with?

[@BrianMattews-i7t]

Her name is ZAREEN GRACE CHURCH . I can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like

Eggs are through the roof!

[@christracy130]

Losing 20 million chickens to bird flu can do that

[@simpleman4196]

So does the recent ban on non cage free eggs in Michigan. What a stupid law to pass. Now eggs have went sky high here and everything is following restaurants charge more bakers are charging more.

[@Ekam-Sat]

That should be the least of our concern because it’s a small ticket item compared to for example insurance rates.

[@Reutzel507]

Get chickens and ducks. Otherwise don’t complain.

Debt is slavery! We’re working hard to pay off our mortgage. We have no other debt except our mortgage. It definitely feels less stressful not having all the other debt. Knowing that even though we have a mortgage payment, we’d still be able to make ends meet because the debt is so much lower is priceless. Now if we could just get this house paid within the next 5 years that would be amazing! Loved this channel and all the information you’ve provided!

[@ReynaDPerez]

My advice on the nice car issue, honestly, keep it simple but I think it’s ok to give yourself enjoyment of life’s treasures because time goes on and if you get older and didn’t enjoy life when younger, you might regret it later.

[@Thaksinnaenaudon103]

Since 2009, EVERYTHING is up in IOUs due to printing THIRTY TRILLION DOLLARS. My uncle built a 12 unit apartment building in North Minneapolis in 1964, when I was in 7th grade, for $65,000, not per unit, for the whole building. That was when silver was MONEY. I can make affordable housing, an 8' x 12' house that is totally livable for one or two people, way under $10,000, total, but no land, no property taxes. We need tiny houses, for people with no money.

[@alexanderadams553]

The stock market and economy at large over the last 15 years was a result of 8+ trillion dollars in FED Quantitative Easing. I find it highly and mathematically unlikely the FED will do that again. When QE was launched en masse back in 2008 inflation was not a problem. There was actually some minor deflation occurring at the time. If the FED were to restart QE again under current conditions, and drive real yields on bonds deeply negative once again, the FED will quickly find itself the exclusive buyer of all government bonds. The Federal deficit is around 2T a year but the Federal government is rolling over maturing debt meaning there are 7+ trillion dollars worth of UST sales per year. There is zero way the FED can print and buy 7 trillion dollars worth of government debt every year without causing double digit inflation.... ... I have managed to grow a nest egg of around 210k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Aldona Šabanienė’s, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape.

Investing has proven to be an incredibly beneficial decision. My cryptocurrency profits continue to play a substantial role in growing my overall wealth, reducing my reliance on my salary…

[@maoryatskan6347]

This way you can get strategies designed to address your unique long/short-term goal Building a good investment portfolio is more complex so I would recommend you seek Aldona’s support. ls and financial dreams.

[@im2yz4u]

It's refreshing to see a comment about Aldona Šabanienė. I have also worked with her, and her approach consistently keeps you ahead of the trend, she's a guru i'll say

[@ciscocomputertech]

No they dont have to inflate the monetary supply. They are doing this to protect themselves from defaults and the rich feom defaults. Deflation allows you to save money and actually make money due to money supply shrinking. This is done to protect themselves

[@Ekam-Sat]

Yes, something like that. From my understanding inflation is good for the government because then they need to pay back less to the federal reserve. Please feel free to correct me if I am wrong.

Dumbest thing I ever bought was a street bike. I lived up in the Seattle area where it rains 9 months a year. If the weather isn't at least 70 degrees and sunny, i ain't riding. So it just sat in my garage. Taking up space, getting bumped into. I sold it after a year.

Controversial take: I think the government doesn't want us to be poor, but they're definitely not making it easy for us to get rich. What do you all think?

I'm the Government. I want you buy with credit cards and save money and go broke👍

[@iragenaemmanuelofficial]

Good advice.

[@RealEstatePembroke]

Thank you for your show, and the information it’s very valuable for the people in the Real Estate industry like me. And in many ways, it’s very useful and relevant for investors and others not in Real Estate as well.

[@AnneSnider-qb8es]

I still have my car a purchased 24 years ago. The engine is in good shape. But little things are going out. The car is only worth $2,000.00 but I will drive it until it stops going. Then I purchase a different car. I baby it, no long trip, never over 50 miles an hour, unless I have too. Insurance is $35.00 a year. I can do the minimum work on it myself. Now I also have a new truck I purchase 3 years ago which I drive for everything else. I paid cost for, now saving to be ready to purchase a new car only this car decides to no longer start.

[@ImMrEm]

You could make or get spares made. I think there’s money in that business. Custom making spares (3d printing etc). No reason those cats won’t run for many more decades

[@gentronseven]

I totally agree that student loan debt needs forgiven because young people were taken advantage of and convinced to get useless degrees, the schools and other fraudsters should pay it back, but I got an engineering degree and my wife got a nursing degree and we've paid back all of our debt so it's not really fair to the people who got decent educations

[@phong911gt3]

What I've been saying all along is that it's the Fed and our own government that is increasing the wealth gap between the rich and the poor.

[@getmotivatedaboutlife2789]

Ken, you have some music in the background. Are y’all trying to psych us out?

[@trina2100]

Relating to the car expense portion of the video....I realize an EV is inconvenient for some commuters but routine maintenance and gas isn't an issue with those cars and worth serious consideration if you're trying to save money in that area.

[@goldensgreensandblues3858]

Can relate to danielle about car care.

[@ricogreen2538]

Also the service stinks everyone are pretending Then scamming

[@mxp2000]

$1400 Bucks for basic maintenance is nuts. Figure out how to do things on your own such as oil changes and tire rotating. At those prices I would hope it came with new tires : )

[@topshelf8292]

When women were convinced to work more things were bought and inflation took off from there. The only way to bring costs down is less spending which won't happen

[@mike2959]

Not only poor. But sick. But…. What do we do? Order Grub Hub, DoorDash….pay $17 for sub sandwich. What do we do? Shop a dollar store. The most expensive place to shop on a per ounce basis. Period. What do we do? Pay guys like Ken and I rent? $1000.00 a month, and have no assets. When you can get a duplex and have SOME kind of income to offset your mortgage expense. Then comes tax time… yeah depreciation baby.

Love hearing her beat up Honda story. I'm 8 years into my professional career and still drive my 2012 Honda Fit from college which for a bit last year had its bumper ductaped on until I fixed it recently. It's a little beat up. Just yesterday, a managing director at work asked me when I'll be buying a new car. I think it's time, but just holding off till I get my second rental cash flowing 🤷‍♂️
