    It takes balls of steel to be this vulnerable for the good of the public and talking about issues once faced so openly, offering great advice and being a role model.
    I always see Scott as he's become the father he never had and I'm happy that he's living the shit out of life and shares what he learned so openly.

    Thanks for being so open & honest about your personal knowledge and experience! I, too, realized I needed to get serious about investing after my first child was born. Unfortunately, I grew up with a father that had absolutely no impulse control with spending & gambling. Consequently, I had absolutely no role model regarding money management. I wish your information had been available 40 years ago.

    Love hearing the nitty gritty from Scott. A question about charitable giving- How do you select good causes to give to? I know there are services like charity navigator but these seem to be orgs that just give a rating based on how good the charity is at paperwork and admin tasks, not necessarily correlated to impact. How does Scott make this selection?

    Prof G, Great financial advice. You clearly know how to make money and your teaching and experience is much appreciated. And very helpful true-life stories to make the points. I also appreciate the transparency about your personal life.The advice about how money allows you to solidify relationships is clearly not expert advice. Maybe I'm wrong. I'd love to hear specifically how you use money to solidify your relationships. I think an expert would say that using money to solidify relationships is akin to putting all of your financial assets in a single, very risky investment. I don't think it's a very healthy (or true) message. I particularly felt a little bad for your young co-host. I say that respectfully. Love, which is what all good relationships are built on, transcends money by orders of magnitude. They barely belong in the same conversation, except maybe in a very narrow scope. I don't want to take away from all of the good stuff and good intentions in this episode. Just thought it important to challenge the part about solidifying relationships with money. It doesn't work.

    I do think if someone has enough wealth in their lifetime that creating intergenerational wealth in a family across time matters. Building trusts that have rules for support, success. So that the next generation can start off solid but still needs to work for success.
    Example: Trust that has following support rules,,
    For Kids, grandkids, great, great-great grand kids..
    For Kids 0-15 yrs old supporting their life basics+, being a good kid, thoughtful, good to others, sports, scouts, lifeguard etc..
    16-26 yrs old Focus on schools, work, trade skills, military or public service, basic used car, performance driven outcomes for them
    27-35 yrs old getting life organized, basic home, career launch, becoming a good steward of the trust & basic+ support for the next set of kids..
    rinse, repeat..

    This is sound financial advice.. it can even be as easy as $250.00/mo beginning at 24.. with a little luck with timing and recognizing certain market patterns with the help of an advisor.. you can at least use the advantages of time and dollar cost averaging upon reinvesting returns.

    16:00 I worked at a ritzy gym, it was for upper and upper middle class people. 11am gym was packed with stay at home moms, some were my clients. I was shocked at what I was told and/or overhead, they would give each other tips on how to hind and steal money from husbands. One woman I was training told me she had stopped taking birth control and did not tell husband because she needed his money for another 18 years. Money changes people and not for the best.

    I wish I had known about this channel before I started playing around with investing, but I'm glad I know about it now :) I have been learning the hard way of the value of being diversified and investing in safer instruments. The Vanguard index funds look great, for example. Now I'm going for a nice mix of those and government treasury bills, bond/treasury-based ETFs, and a selection of companies that seem like either a safe bet or something worth gambling a little on based on various factors.
    It is also a challenge learning not to panic-sell and not to buy into hype. I don't recall if he said it here or in another video, but the good professor did mention that once you're hearing about it, it's probably too late.

    Exceptionally great video. I think it is important not to downplay passive index investing.
    $100k x 50yrs x15% per year is $100,000,000.
    - Granted that is at the high end of the return range - (the S&P 500 is about 10% per year). But please remember $0.02c (two pennies), doubled every day for the month of August returns $10 million on the first day of September. Use, covered calls and +25% leverage, judiciously along the way as you decide.

    From the standpoint of an impoverished Canadian, Prof G's complaint of only making 300K US per year is a slap in any toothless Canadian's face. The compounding wealth of the US is just astonishing relative to hinterland countries like Canada and Mexico. Our currency alone automatically gives us a 30% kneecapping.

    • @TravisRiver
      @TravisRiver 8 місяців тому +9

      It's actually a slap in any NY'ers face in 2023 as wel. He's talking about levels of wealth (like they're attainable) that only 1% will see. In reality, capitalism has us all believing we're a bunch of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.
