    This is how I would have taught myself if I was just starting to learn about the stock market. This is a step by step guide on how to find great equities and what I do when trying to find which stocks to buy for dividends and long term growth.
    I want to highly discourage anyone from actually attempting to pick stocks just because I talk about them in a video. However, if you're still interested, I'll show you how I find a good stock and the research tools I use when doing my homework before purchasing a stock. The goal of any of my investments is to generate passive income while I sleep. I primarily use the JMMB moneyline platform.

      Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 has even worse roads. Potholes all the time when you're on the road. Trust me. It's torture slowing down and swerving a bit just to avoid a pothole.

    Nice as usual 👌.
    For some, the vehicle may help bring in some extra $$$. Being able to stay an extra 2 hour at work cause now you can reach home safe. Traveling with extra tools to complete a job efficiently.

      Exactly, so if you work shifts and can get some overtime or if work is remote then a car can help gain some cash

    Thanks for the video, actually in the process of getting my license. Knew it was gonna more expensive but this is a big liability than anticipated. Buying a car is like signing up to 10 different yearly high-ticket subscriptions. Probably smarter to just continue buying bitcoin. Been working another high-income skill to pay for it though, just gonna wait a bit until that's solid.

    If Jamaica minimum wage is $15,000 weekly,let’s say a $25,000 would be a ok job in Jamaica. That Honda Fit cost only $500,000 JMD in USA. Why it soo expensive in Jamaica, 2 million JMD is far too expensive.

    • @DemetressFairman
      @DemetressFairman  Місяць тому

      Unfortunately minimum wage is a poor indicator of livable income. Cost of living is the real indicator, in some areas rent can be $150,000/month and that doesn’t include utilities. Sadly minimum wage is hard to make ends meet here.

      @@DemetressFairman I see Land for sale in Montego Bay JMD 1.7 million. Hiring a contractor I would pay JMD 2.5 million to build a 3 bedroom house. The house would be worth JMD 8 million with a realtor. Those numbers are facts

    My experience... in addition, a new battery, if it's a used car(15-20k) and a car emergency fund for minor incidents/accidents and electronics that might fail (especially sensors, I would suggest having a 30k stashed away for that)

      I drive a left hand and it rarely hinders me. Finding parts is just as easy and the only downside is overtaking because I have to be 100% sure of an overtake.
