The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.

I learned that the stock market was a rich man's game (yes, grandparents lost it all back then and preached that forever) but I've been around long enough to really taste how great it can be. To be profitable, with inflation at 6.1% These are surely desperate times, but in my opinion, there is no market condition that a good financial advisor cannot navigate, especially those that have existed since the crisis of 2008 and before.

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

One of the most intelligent people who doesn't have an agenda. This is the advice he wanted to give his own daughter (whom he wants nothing but the best for in life), and the message simply spread. The reason his message exploded into a world-wide audience is because it is true. He wasn't looking to gain anything out of it for himself, but such things turn out this way.

The man is a common sense machine. No agenda. Just solid principles.

Well that would be impossible to do considering I'm in my late 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement in my 60s, my goal is at least $2million.

Time and time again, I see that the fundamental quality to succeed with money is to be humble. To be who I am and conduct myself with the flaws that I have and stay humble and agile enough to admit when I am wrong and correct the path. As years passes, humble and patient people become my real heroes. May Lord give us the change of heart to practice same virtues as this good man.
