So these people who live off tips make more than I do even though I'm an engineer who went did post grad??? And they have no college debt either. WTF?? How does that make sense. Tipping culture is out of control.
It's called capitalism, or free-market economics. I used to feel like you when my waitress sister made way more than I did. But hey man, do you think the world owes you a living because you have a degree? It doesn't work that way. The only person stopping you from making a better living is you. Go get it if you want it.
My uncle bought his house cash in 2004 for 12800$ & hasn’t seen a car payment in over 10 years, he lives lavish off just his retirement pension (1500$) per month. Most of Vancouver is older.
Thank you for the video, I found out that investing is not for everybody, you just need a strong stomach too see your portfolio go down. It might be wiser for a novice to start with copy trading investing, but it is not easy. To invest in growth stocks it is another level, definitely you need to know what are you doing.
From my own point of view, you need to invest smartly if you need the good things of life. so far i've made over $255k in raw profits from just 6 months into the market from my diversified portfolio strategy and i believe anyone can do it you have the right strategy, mutual funds takes long time but investing smartly is the key for short term. Most of us tend to pay more attention to the shiniest position in the market to the cost of proper diversification.
This is a phenomenal advice for a new stock traders and investors who want that quick short term game, but don't see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I've been solely investing in real estate. But with the recent hyper home pricing i've liquidated a few things and have $45k in cash laying around idle. Would love to get your recommendations, I'm in search of something lucrative in the current crazy markets, i will be glad.
My portfolio is very much diversified so it's not like i have a particular fund i invest in, plus i dont do that by myself. i follow the trades of Mrs Karen Gaye Gray.
She is a popular broker you might have heard of. I can correctly say she's worth her salt as a financial advisor as her diversification skills are top notch, because i see that in her results as my portfolio grows by averages of 10 to 15% on a monthly basis, unlike i can say for my IRA which has just been trudging along, my portfolio just mirrors what she trades and not just on some particular industries of my choosing.

I’m pleasantly surprised by the software engineer salary. I always heard they were severely underpaid like in the 70-80k range in Vancouver. Wasn’t the gov there trying to pitch to Amazon when they were looking for future hq how cheap the software engineer labour was?
"Great topic! It's fascinating to see the various income sources people have. When it comes to building wealth, the strategies used by the rich have certainly evolved over time. Back in the 1900s to 1980s, some prominent wealthy individuals focused on strategic investments in industries like oil, real estate, and technology. Take a look at names like John D. Rockefeller, who dominated the oil industry, or real estate magnate Donald Trump, and tech visionary Steve Jobs. These individuals leveraged their expertise, innovation, and timing to create substantial wealth. They understood the power of diversification and making calculated risks. In today's world, while industries have shifted, the principles of investing wisely, seizing opportunities, and staying ahead of the curve remain crucial for building wealth.

Can you please go to Northeastern University Toronto Campus graduation ceremony and ask similar questions. I’ll be joining the uni and have no clue how much I’ll be making
@turntablesrockmyworld9315 well you also get this by staying at one company most of your career. Plus, im sure the news anchors, field journalists, and those on the cover of big papers get paid tons more. Ambition is about providing a better life for your family than you had. For me thats about making so much money that my kids only have to work for passion because they will have several homes and a sizable trust fund by the time im in the ground.
@@asadb1990 Your kids should be out there working and earning for themselves and building their own future otherwise they'll just be sitting home fat and lazy and doing nothing except watching tik tok videos and playing video games LOL
@jollyjames30 i want them to be independent of the system and not be a slave to the employer. Its all about making money. If my kid is able to make money from home while playing video games, all the power to them

Can't wrap my head around how do people survive on 30-40k considering the RENT in Vancouver?
I also have the same question.
If your home is paid off and you bought 30 years ago. That is more than enough
Some people just get free government money or have rich parents that help them.

I make 44k in Vancouver paying rent, it’s very tough.
This was like me guessing peoples jobs!
This'll help me get better at that haha
We want more from you. Be active and make more contents!

Aaaaayyyy that's me at 9:24 😊
Come over to Edmonton (the capital of Alberta).
Love the content! Thank you
More Vancouver vids pls! I love the content
$500 a night bartender! Ridiculous! These tips are out of control.
Absolutely mental. That's like 125k. And I bet they dont pay taxes on all of it either since alot of it would be cash

You know that they have a lot of nights that aren't busy.
Loved the vid! Please do North van!
It'll all just be retired old people.
Jeez 16 mins later and not one of them can get qualified for a mortgage in Vancouver
How was he able to retire making 60k a year? 1:21
No doubt he has a pension. That used to be a thing that employers provided.

on reddit no one is earning below 300k, dont know how true is that
Luke at 2:00 unexpectedly humble
The possibilities that A.I. brings freak me out

"I think they could be exaggerating their salary a little bit.
Is much better than here in Alberta
Only guys in tech can make decent earnings.
I love how the journalist said he makes about 40K with freelancing and pension...that's about right below the next tax bracket. Well done sir😅😉
Only If you knew that going into the next tax bracket doesn’t make you lose more money 😅
why you care about tax bracket. You should care about making more money , specially in vancouver.
Come over to Calgary (economic capital of Alberta)
Who cares

Only 60k per year by retirement. Boy this dude lacked ambition
No, journalism is not a high paying field. Dude had many great experiences. Life is more than your interpretation of ambition.
