Nice content! Few years back i was assistant to a wealthy pen artist and within the short period i worked with him i observed that he had quite a chunk of investment everywhere, stocks, crypto, dividend investing to name a few, so he had revenues coming in from all angles. And in a year his worth doubled. With this i learned that the rich stay rich by investing.
i agree with this but the problem now is getting to make the right investments, Lots of people tend to lose their money while investing thereby making them lose interest and also end up discouraging other individuals around them.
@@isabellef.1177 I think the major challenges investors face may range from controlling impulsiveness to the frail of compulsion. Most newbies and would-be investors often undermine and most often neglect the importance of technical analysis with regards to investing. Technical analysis overly predicts the movement of asset prices regardless of what is happening in the wider or broader market. Essentially, the process involves studying the paths of a particular asset movement in the past so as to establish a sustainable pattern that can be used to predict future movements or better still get an investment advisor who'd guide you and help you manage your portfolio just like my boss back then, He was working with an IA Edmund John Brock and i would bet he still does. I can boldly recommend him because i've witnessed his performance first hand. He's the real deal.
Over the long term, there's been no better way to grow your wealth than investing in the stock market.
Getting rid of my girlfriend. Should save me thousands in a year 🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Erm, if I may?
"Marry rich" works for boys too. Nowhere impossible, and one of the decisions that could affect standards of living the most.
I upgraded my wife in all departments found a new one who is loyal, has better looks, good personality, and most importantly way more money 💰 😂
Just find one that has her own money lol
Aw lads you’re really preaching over here 😂🤣
Loving your videos. Short, to the point and packed with information that can be used immediately. No BS! Thank you! 🙏
I am so busy at work that I usually skip lunch. My work pays for our food. I normally take home the food from work and we eat it throughout the week. It saves my family thousands of dollars. When my wife was in college I ate all of my meals at work. I also worked as much overtime as I could. We were able to live on one income. I paid her tuition, housing, food and expenses off in cash. We still live a frugal lifestyle.
I’ve grown my own weed for 30 years, thousands $$ saved, true story 😆
I am saying!
🤣🤣🤣
I have grown weed for 6 years. I grow in a 700 sqft shop. Have made about 200-250k a year and put that into Tesla
O yea I gotta do this too
Lol
Skip breakfast everyday, and avoid too much sugar. Took me 40+ years to figure it out. No need to avoid fat, it's good for you 🤯
Me 2!
Breakfast is the biggest lie of the century. However I do like breakfast for lunch..
It took me 35 years to understand breakfast is my most important meal: helps to push food out of my stomach in the morning, and since breakfast everyday, no more panic in planes, no more dizzy in a car, and less stress overall. But people should go with what works for them.
I started skipping breakfast one year ago. At first it was weird, but my body adapted super fast. Now I can't even think of having breakfast like I did (now I only drink a coffee and water until lunch)
@@franciscoossandon3790 actually you should drop coffee in the morning too.. Caffeine only works on a tired (or addicted) brain.
I always love and appreciate your transparency, Ken. Thanks for sharing! 💕
I also cut my Own hair and between keeping Shapeups and tips (here in USA tipping is very common) I have saved a consistent $600 per year over the last 6 years. Total: $3,600 ! And guess what? I invested around that exact amount almost 2 years ago in TESLA! I kept adding more but now I have 209 shares of tesla. It’s crazy how doing my own hair, saved me enough to have some extra cash to care enough to invest it and watch it grow. It was the seed of the beginning of a new journey
Probly missed out on more $$ cause ppl didn’t take ur serious with your home cut hair /s
@@stuartking7431 That would be true, but don’t have a regular job. I’m a musician, and I make money online. If I don’t wanna see people, I don’t have to see people. I guess that’s one of the best things about having multiple sources of income.😊
@@stuartking7431 lol I also cut my own hair and I am a working professional. It would only have a negative impact in very specific lines of work.
@@stuartking7431 I started cutting my own hair… and it looked less than perfect but save me at least 80 bucks. With zoom camera resolution, it’s just perfect! When I shout to camera (nobody would care how beautiful I look)?
I wouldn't work at all with 209 shares..
Bought a cheap dental tool kit online & use it once or twice a week to remove any stubborn plague which really saved on the unexpected dental consultations in the past which add up to few hundreds a year. Have been maintaining ever since & very happy with the results so far...
Watched your video & got a cheap wireless trimmer to cut my own hair as well although took close to an hour as I'm not experience yet & still practicing whenever hair grows long. Really covered up the cost of the trimmer after a few cuts & saved the time to queue at the barber while getting a cleaner tidy cut with own expectation
Right on as always! I've been cutting my own hair for 25 years, don't have any spending habits with drinking, smoking etc...which alone adds up to huge savings over the years. No focus on material things to make me happy. My focus is on my family and doing right by and for them. My only hobby cost me $20/year. To anyone under the age of 25....if you start changing these small habits he's talking about you will be so much better off mentally and financially later on in life. Best of luck to everyone! Lets evolve together my friends!
Ken, thanks for sharing your life hacks. As always, super helpful. Love your sincerity and hope you enjoyed your US visit!
Thanks, Ken. With you on spending more on something quality that will last (and never for brand - have always felt companies should pay me to display their logos prominently). Recently replaced my daily laptop backpack with the Peak Design 30l - love it. Thoughtful, minimalist design.
Bought a Xiaomi water flosser earlier this year and it definitely beats having to buy wire floss over and over again. The one tip I won’t be following from this video is cutting my own hair, and that’s only because I enjoy my barber’s company far too much 😅. At the end of the day, we all have to decide for ourselves whether each convenience and service in life we choose to pay for is really worth the price. Thank you for the advice and stay safe.
I don’t drink coffee or energy drinks. I cook 99% of the time instead of going out. I eat clean foods and consist of 60% protein and 30% fats and 10% carbs. Because of my lack of eating chips and carbs, my insulin sensitivity is great and my Ghrelin (hunger hormone) levels never go up.
I am a paramedic and I see the oldest 35 year olds who never took care of themselves and have the worst health but I also see the youngest 90 year olds who have no health problems and are sharp and in great physical health. You can’t buy health. Exercise as much as you can. Brain games are bullshit and have no science. Exercise is the only thing that keeps mental acuity from rapidly declining.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
love it!
Hi Chicken. Great list. I really love the fact that after all the money you made and progress you stay humble. If this is not for show I think you are one of few. Thank you for all content you post. I benefitted most from your letter and "Life is not about me" approach.
Thank you for the great tips, Ken. I also IF 8/16. Usually 12:00 to 8:00. You always share valuable information. Love it !
Great Tips Ken 👏🏻 every little helps 💯
Thanks Ken! I do almost the same as you, except for the water floss thingy. I would also add that a robot vacuum and an air purifier will save you a lot of time and energy when it comes to keeping a small studio apartment clean.
Nice tip!
I've been intermittent fasting for about 5 years now and I love it! I started fasting 80 hours a week and when I reached my ideal weight I fast only when I need to... Changed my life!
Life changer
I appreciate you, Ken! Thanks for your honesty and thoughtful advice. 🙆🏾
Intermittent fasting has changed my life, lost 30kgs over the last year using it in my regime. Same way you've helped me realised the power of investments! Thanks Ken!
Thank you as always for your videos! been so insightful!
Thanks CK for your sharing your wisdom!!
Love these types of videos, thanks
Thank you Ken another great vid!
Thanks Ken!
great advice!
Love the life and lifestyle suggestions. Travel well CG
I’ve recently started to cut my dogs hair. The groomer put her prices up to £40 per dog, from £38. Somehow £40 was the wake-up call. I’ve spent £35 on a set of shavers and it’s obviously paid for itself in one sitting. Still learning but definitely saving £480 per year 💪🏻.
Wow! Its better to do it yourself too
I do it too. It help building connection with your pet, and it really save a lot. I have a golden retriever, and it it costs $80 to groom everytime in my region.
Does your dog judge you? 😉
Just get rid of the dog, they're completely money pits
@@hunternewberry5860 They are all I have so no chance of that.
thx man, love the channel
I've quit eating sugary food (chocolate, ice cream, candy etc) and cutting out chips for almost 8 years. My philosophy of healthy diet is simple, less is more. Choose fruits over artificial sweet, meat over sausage. The key is to stick to unprocessed food as much as possible, because most of times it's not the food itself is bad, it's how you make it makes worse. I appreciate you Ken for your work and your aspiration of wanting to make a positive impact on people's life by sharing your knowledge in investment. Well I can tell you now you've changed my life with Tesla stocks. What you do is priceless. Thank You and Happy Thanksgiving!
Good advice. Also haven’t bought a haircut in 40 years. Also a minimalist. Also eat in a window and do intermittent fasting. Also was a teacher. Buy most clothes on eBay used, especially shoes, wear the best quality. Have no tv so no cable. Entertainment on apple phone. Rarely eat out. Grow a lot of my own food. Have a small avocado grove. Used to fish a lot in kayak. Enjoy watching TH-cam’s from around the world like Kens Chicken Genius channel. Thanks Ken.
So cool! Thank you for sharing!
Ken, I'm a water floss fanatic. Tested at least 5 different models and I tell you the China ones are the best. Get the white Xiaomi one and I can also recommend a VERY portable one for when I travel. Enjoy your trip and stay safe!
The white xiaomi one water pressure not as strong lei
Would you recommend the Xiaomi SOOCAS W3 Pro? Thanks!
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore what you recommend bro? Always heard of it but never tried it
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore isnt too strong bad for the gums? it could cause recesion
I always thought that was a bs mechanism. Now I’m definitely going to consider it. Thanks chicken genius 👍🏼
Tips for musicians: Early in life, when I had some earnings, I wanted to buy musical instruments and studio equipment, but mostly synths. There was so much money to be saved by buying used gear, that I took this path most of the time. In time, when I wanted to sell, I could usually sell back to more or less the same price I bought it and often making a profit out of it. I was doing this as a hobby, but in retrospect, it gave me some investment experiences.
C. Genius, I love u man. All ur videos make a huge difference to my life my man.
Favorite TH-camr hands down, by a long shot.
Keep up the good work brother
Hi Ken! Thanks for the vid :)
Would you ever consider covering the topic of (cap gains) taxes?
Honestly the best suggestions I've ever heard for saving money. none of that penny pinching BS. Thank you!
Always enjoy your videos. Stay safe and enjoy your holiday!
Thanks for the fasting info 👍
love your work and good intention CG
Wow, out of the left field.. Thanks for some great tips. Happy travels 😊😊😊😊😊
It’s ok to skip breakfast in the morning. Intermittent fasting is great for you. Contributes to all sorts of health benefits including longevity. Eat Whole Foods and avoid highly refined/processed carbs and all will be good for you.
I love practical tips for saving money, especially those items worth investing in something durable that save time and money for replacement. Will consider the water floss. Totally makes sense to me, on the hindsight 👍🏻👍🏻
Love this topic!!
Thanks for the sharing! Just in time for Black Friday sales to buy the water floss.😬
All good tips ! Thank you
Fasting and cut one meal out of the day is defiantly the way to go . I've been on that consistently for over a year now and I'm not going back. It costs just less than $30 a month to maintain oral health and now I'm at the dentist for less than a hour (give or take a few minuets wait ). I also keep needles and tread in my main travel bag just in case of rips.
My wife and I have been OMAD since 2017 (One Meal A Day). There are so many health benefits in additonal to reducing decision making of what to eat. Also, one's taste buds become more sensitive, so good food tastes even better!
I too realised that I waste too much time thinking about what to eat every day and those time could be put to better use. Trying to keep to a standard routine of simple meals like eggs and coffee for breakfast and rice with steamed vegetables for lunch and dinner. Keeps me healthy at the same time.
it's so funny when people think they'll starve for skipping a single meal (or snack)
this is great. I've been cutting my own hair and doing 18/6 Intermittent Fasting over a year (getting healthier + saving money). Thanks for the water floss tip. I wanted to try this for so long and didn't know which one to buy (as most of them are super expensive). Gonna check out your other tips. Thanks Ken
Thanks for the video. Purchased the waterfloss. I was already cutting my hair since the pandemic and doing a 18-20 hour fasting window. Eggs in the first meal oats and protein powder in the second one. Feels great.A little bit of exercise always helps
Kindness, sharing, transparency. You're a breath of fresh air.
I cut my own hair, don’t get manicures or pedicures, skip breakfast, only drink water, avoid sugars, I don’t eat red meats or seafood, don’t eat at restaurants, haven’t purchased any clothes since 2017, no purse or shoes purchases, I drive my 2009 Honda Civic with no more car payments...avoid vacations that require a flights, use an iPhone 5 and have no plans to upgrade, have a laptop since 2015 and continues to work for me. I don’t have any subscriptions, I don’t have a tv and no cable is needed. I’m renting out my 3 bedroom house to rent a 1 room apartment, moved to a cheaper side of town, and overall I practice minimalism! Although I’m working in a demanding job, I’m have a good income and I’m very happy with my lifestyle, might be sad and boring to others, but I’m enjoying it! ☺️

Great video ! Solid !
Hi Ken, May I ask, I know u sell puts to gain premium when the stock goes sideways or when the stock is falling in short term, but at what time do u stop selling put ( rolling the put) or take assignment for the put option? I am sorry if I sound noob.
My husband recommended you to me because he is impressed by you as a person and your stock advice. This video is the first that i saw of you. I am already impressed. I am a giver too. Very happy to see another but you are a cleverer one compared to me. May god bless you always. Thanks for sharing! :)
i love how you share your life. thank you
Wow..! Great tips!! Thank you!!
Yes! Peak Design the best work/travel/photog bag ever! and yes they stand by their quality and when they say life time warranty! its TRUE! haha claimed my bag too due to some material tearing off but thats like after 3 years old and they still honor it. Supported them since kickstarter days! Wise card interesting!!
Crazy good bag to use
When I grocery shop, I do my shopping in the early morning when the local market has all of their meat marked way down to clear space for the new meat. Choosing my protein selection this way adds a bit of variety to my meal prepping which I do every Sunday to save money and time during the week. Based on the discounted protein choice I am able to find, I base my week's meal planning around that.
Also, your local grocery store should have a discounted section in one of the main aisles! This is a great option to check as well. I'll often find pastas, granola bars, cereal, snacks, canned goods, etc. that I are usually marked 50% off.
Misread the thumb nail “How rich are you ?” 😆 Thanks for the useful tips. Intermittent fasting is life changing. Life style inflation is under stated once you attained a certain amount of salary/wealth. Happy to see such a grounded millionaire.
🤣
Ken~ Thank you for sharing. Our family also cuts their own hair, including me, my father, and my mother.
Hi Ken, thanks for sharing on the money saving trips. Love your nail clipper set, Mind sharing which brand is that? Thanks for sharing. :)
I also eat in 8 hour windows, with a twist. OATMEAL. Instant oatmeal for lunch with a scoop of peanut butter and raisins. Keeps me extremely full without a energy crash, like better than a traditional meal, and is fairly healthy. Were talking less than 30 cents per meal, and it only takes 2 minutes to make.
For dinner, whatever the heck I want with no exceptions. Even like 2-3 meals at once. Ice cream? Sure. Just the fat off a cut of meat? Yes. A normal portion? Sometimes. Still thin, and I don't have "thin man" genes.
Great tip! Thanks
•I tried several cereals & cookings, and can confirm that oatmeal digests remarquably well.
Balancing amino acids requires adding ⅟4~⅟3 leguminous, which peanuts are.
•Milk or eggs are also balanced but denser, while cheaper than meat.
•Cravings may signal lack of certain nutrients rather calories.
•Eating satisfaction is also important to repletion, variety & spices can help.
Oatmeal is great. Also eggs and fruit. And noodles!
Yea oatmeal is great!
I love IF but I struggle getting my workouts in. Only timeslot is in the evening, but after dinner is tough.
Wow thank you CG🙏🏻👍🏻
I explored Calisthenics as a sport to keep myself fit and healthy than going to the expensive gym. Compared to the past 3-5 years, I have been visiting the expensive gym to work out and their yearly membership can be having great discount but it is still really expensive at times. And TH-cam has been great in guiding me on how to progress on my Calisthenics journey too. So why not learn a skill set that you can exercise at any outdoor fitness corner conveniently and which is almost free to keep yourself fit and healthy.
Ha ha Ha your video is always fun!!! Thank you 😊
Love all these money saving hacks, to lead a fulfilling quality of life! 😇
Definitely brought super value!
This is more than about spending less money, it’s about spending less energy on little things. This helps greatly on making good judgements on important things.
exactly!
Want more money? Asset Allocation. I retired 3 yrs ago and have no income…..so I sold 1 of my cars, and also took 20% out of my retirement account. Bought Tesla stock with proceeds. More than doubled my money in 18 months. Thanks CG for teaching me to buy and hold. No donkey here anymore.
Thank you for your tips~ ^^
I was just researching to buy waterpik waterfloss. Thanks for your advice as well :)
says the guy that ordered a Tesla Roadster lol ! Thanks my friend ! My finance hack is make my own bread with the Zojirushi virtuoso bread maker (it's a special machine like no other one, not sponsored !). Oatmeal and a fruit on breakfast saves time and is super healthy. Also, biking to transport yourself (even in the winter in cold climate) is an underappreciated true life hack : fast, cheap, and one of the best exercice you can do (no shocks).
Look forward to your videos...🙏
❤️
I bought an ascis sport shoe $150, been using for close 6 years now. Also using wired headphones from apple. Costs $29. Great quality too! If you know how to take good care, it's really as good as forever item!
Good afternoon my friend! I also practice Autophagy on a daily basis mine is 12-8 as well I’ve been doing it for a while now. My appetite has changed and no longer crave foods. It took me about 1 month to train my self. And I’ve lost 65lbs and maintained my weight. I also have leftovers for my breakfast at 12 and make a new meal at dinner time so in essence I make one meal per day! Lol
I love you sharing your experiences we us. It is super helpful and we know we are not doing it alone! Much appreciated
Thank you so much have a great night
life changing habit! congrats on the weight loss
Yes, one of the benefits of intermittent fasting and skipping meals....you save cash!
I have been cutting my own hair since I was 15, I think it's because of my OCD. I tend to try and "correct" my haircuts from a barber.
Not only that this saves money, but it saves the hassle and time of going to a barbershop/salon.
You have great tips in the video that I already do, including intermittent fasting and haircuts and water flossing. I'll add thrift shopping/ charity shops for great clothes or in the USA Marshalls for new clothes at sale or clearance prices, Manager specials at your local supermarkets, you will be amazed at the deals.
good tip DRK
Thanks for content
Golden advice as always 😍
hey i use a water flosser too! i use colgate water flosser at around sgd 70 after discount? i feel like even the gentle setting is too strong tho… but it serves me well, bought it last year and still working well 👍🏻
Amazing - cool advice (value) .. you got zero dislikes!!
Hey Ken, enjoy your holidays :)
I was looking at water floss too! My dentist told me that those work best if it's used within 2 hours after meals though. Once that time passes, it's best to use the regular floss. I wonder if anyone else heard about the time limit thing?
I only buy shoes or clothes when they're at clearance and I keep them in their original boxes till I need them. Only changed 1 pair of shoes over the past 10 years! (Back when shoes could last LOL)
omg i will try out a waterfloss, didnt know that it exist for home usage 😱 btw i tried to remove blackheads with your strategy but it didnt work for me 😂
1 Drive a Tesla. Charge at work. 2 Cut own hair. 3 Buy what you need, not what you want 4 Never rush into a project, the longer you wait the less projects you will do. 5 Ignore sales. 6 Buy shares, do not pay off your mortgage early. 7 Make use of your tax free allowances. 8 Use Dulux paint.
You are simply the best. I love and appreciate you
Great video.
Thank you!
steady lah bro! bought the water floss.
Great videoooooooo 👍👍👍
Great video, agree 💯
Hi Bro, From which bank do u get the asset based loans in Singapore? Any recommendation?
This is gold! Thanks! (or TSLA shares ^^)
Hey, first time I see someone outside of Switzerland eating Ragusa! And the Ragusa dark you have is the best 👍
its my fav choc. yours too?
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore Yes definitely one of my fav. And family members who live in other countries usually ask us to bring precisely this dark Ragusa when we come visit from Switzerland.
Life is good haha :) Thanks for your great advice!
I bought (and LOVE) the Oral Breeze shower water jet from Amazon. $17 dollars. Hooks up to your shower head. Totally adjustable water pressure. No more water all over bathroom and clothes. Have mine for 5 years so far - still working! Dentist immediately could tell a difference at check up! 🦷
does it work if there's low water pressure?
@@ChickenGeniusSingapore Yes! Because it is a small hose - so it doesn't need much water pressure! 😁 (Can't thank you enough for all you've done for me CGS! 💰)
