The problem we have is because Most people always taught that " you only need a good job to become rich " . These billionaires are operating on a whole other playbook that many don't even know exists.
It is remarkable how much long term advantage people like us have gotten by trying to be consistently not stupid, instead of trying to be very intelligent.
The wisest thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different streams of income that doesn't depend on government paycheck, especially with the current economic crisis around the world. This is still a time to invest in Stocks, Forex and Digital currencies.
Even with the right technique and assets some investors would still make more than others. As an investor, you should've known that by now that nothing beats experience and that's final. Personally I had to reach out to a stock expert for guidance which is how I was able to grow my account close to $35k, withdraw my profit right before the correction and now I'm buying again.
Choice. The best decision I've made so far is space optimization. Right now, I'm putting things that I own in their proper respective space. Anything that I don't need or want, I sell, donate, or trash. I'm not big on consumerism but have notice how much consumer behavior affects what we buy and do. So in order to curb my own buying behavior to make better a decisions, I ask myself: do I need it or want it and what value or experience will it bring if I purchase it? No, this doesn't mean not buying the books or shoes or clothes, it means the extra things I have already and buy things just to buy things. Since I have cleaned out my space, I don't need to fill up a house just because I can afford to.
Choise. I started in 2016 with reading at least 12 books a year and one podcast a week about different kinds of knowledge to broader my perception. To this day it evolved into 3 podcasts (except of listening to the lessons from the Alux App and your channel) and kept the pace of 12 books a year.
Well, not everybody is smart or smart the way they think they are.No matter what parents or teachers want or don't want you to believe, if you're smart as hell, you'll find out sooner or later. Believing is fine, but I've seen loads of parents tell their offspring how great they were, but the kids grew up being entiteled, not smart. People find their way and they're attracted to those, they share a similar level of intelligence with. Furthermore, it's a sign of one's intelligence to have doubt.No intelligent person thinks, they're smart and that's because they know, what they're lacking.Less intelligent folks are way more confident, believe in themselves and are often more successful, depending on what they're doing.
The decisions I made at regular basis was "Keeping up with my words personally and professionally to others". This build trust among friends / professionals which is important in the long run.
I plan to retire at the end of 2025 at 62 after 36 years in Telecom as a sales engineer. My wife will retire in May 2026 and she's loving life! But walking away from a good income stream and building the nest egg to living from the nest egg is a scary proposition couple with the alarming recession and CPI report
I feel your pain mate, as a fellow retiree, I'd suggest you look into passive index fund investing and learn some more. For me, I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured $30k in value stocks and digital assets, Up to 200k so far and pretty sure I'm ready for whatever comes.
My advice: for newbies to grow financially this year, invest. Saving is good, but investing elevates your finances. Why newbie make huge losses on trade is because investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. that will stop you from trading, this has been one of the biggest problem to new traders, I've learned this from my own experience
Tracy Britt Cool Consulting was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I made so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Tracy.
paying into the company pension plan that I started in 1978 I am still receiving great amount of funds from 1978 to 2024 46 years later. I was 20 years of age when I got in a company that had pension plan. I paid into every month for many years, and I benefit from this personal decision. Best decision I ever made. thanks for all your uploaded videos oh I also in 2 high yield compound paying savings accounts started in 2020 year this is my fourth year great helping me grow my pension money even more. Thank you again Alux. Enjoy your videos.
I appreciate all of this, but I am learning this in my 40s, and near my 50s. Unfortunately, I am not in my 20s. When I was in my 20s, I didn't prioritize any of this.
I will say I've made the decision to live like there is no tomorrow; so when tomorrow does come your previous days accomplishments, make the next day that much better.
The best decision I made was in my late twenties. I started contributing to my 401k and maxed it out each year. Retirement seemed so far off then, but now that I am 59, I am thanking my younger smart self. CHOICE
At 36 that’s 14 more years not guaranteed, until 50. So by my own luck and creation followed by action may I have my success…❤😅😊ALL MY CHOICE! Choose your love and love your WHY/DECISION! ❤😂🥰
I love this video . I began investing in my early twenties, I made many mistakes because I wasn’t raised in a strong financially literate family. I started to get the hang of it around 27 , I am 37 years old now and I can tell you it is paying off ! Being brave and optimistic has been my best decisions to date .❤❤❤
CHOICE and, Q) What decision you made early in your life that's still paying dividends to this day? & A) Sorry Alux, I am not monitize in other to get dividends in other to invest big for the future, but I am working smarter then usual. in other to get there. without making any form of dividends or income.
Connection and friendship. One of the best decisions of my life is getting close to people because it’s helped me in my professional career moving me from working at a supermarket back in college to starting out in retail banking and now working in an investment firm. Make connections with the right people they will help you out and get more in life and I’ve helped people too in every way I can because when I look back on the people that helped me I want to keep it going with all the kindness and help I can give and hopefully those people will pass it forward
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a-lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
@@hunter-bourke21I'm actually interested in this idea of investing through an analyst. Sounds like the most sensible thing to do in the market right now. Could you give me a pointer to who you work with, please?
Do your homework and choose one that has strategies to help your portfolio grow consistently and steadily. *Izella Annette Anderson* is responsible for the success of my portfolio, and I believe she possesses the qualifications and expertise to meet your goals.
I am going to look her up, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.
One of my best early decisions was to stay out of heavy debt, even the minimal amount of debt I did take out left me crippled for some time, never again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ DEFINITELY! My early decision was to NOT stop being CURIOUS! It eventually led to my career as a Post Newsweek TV Group investigative reporter at 23. Next it led to the first book on SURVIVING Y2K which has led to a 24 years career of teaching Preparedness and Survival Skills and writing numerous books in the niche!
"I started investing in property with others when I was just 18. Thanks to a fantastic family upbringing, I’ve been able to expand my knowledge into shares, other forms of investments, and building social capital, all while exploring new hobbies and cultivating my curiosity. Balancing my upper-middle-class lifestyle with upper-class experiences, traveling, and exploring the world has been incredibly rewarding. Now, at 37, I’m seeing how the power of compounding-whether in investments, social connections, or personal growth-has truly paid off. The journey has been about continuous growth, self-discovery, and building a solid foundation for an even better future! By the way, Alux is amazing-such a great source of inspiration

I made a CHOICE over the last month to shift through job listings and to find a job that I want while enduring my current job. Thankfully the search didn't last for too long as I'm not starting at a job that has everything I want and will allow for me to regain financial control of my life.

One of the best decisions I made, was paying off a student loan. The opportunity cost maintaining a student loan is real, just my opinion though.

Investing in my mental wellbeing is the most valuable asset I had ever done in life.
Getting a degree. It has repaid me over and over and now increases my retirement income.
Thank you Alux
My choice was taking care of my health and working out. And learning. I’m investing in skills . So I guess putting everything I learn to use aswell.

Best thing I did for my future was to take some time off to get Super good at what I do. #MuchosLosDividendos 😅
