      You have some beautiful properties if you ever think about coating them; don't put SILICONE on them it's the most god awful product ever made. Put it on my own house 20 years ago. For about five years I tried every product/ procedure nothing sticks to it. Silicone doesn't stick to it. I;m in Fort Lauderdale. Great content you put out; on video number 6. Thanks Ken.

    A mentor told me instead of thinking of your dream life write down your nightmare life & see the difference. What choices are you making that will lead you to the nightmare life? What will lead you to your dream? Words to live by.

      If there is a beautiful woman who is everything I ever dreamed of, how fast could I run to her? If there is a hungry grizzly bear behind me, how fast could I run from him? Truly, running from horror is more impetus than running to desire. Especially a desire that is an undefined target.

    I enjoyed this content. Although I have been watching less yt and doing more research. My retirement contributions are not making my 401k any better, should I buy popular index funds in a brokerage account, is this a better alternative to outperform and rebuild my retirement?

      My suggestion to any investor old or new is to get a mentor and don’t just go buying stocks without proper considerations. Most of what is pumped out by the media is what most TH-cam ‘fin-entertainers’ churn out to you as fear uncertainty and doubt.

    • @tammystut
      @tammystut 25 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      Agreed. That and reading some basic principles laid out in books like The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham. There are also good TH-camrs out there like Felix, Graham Stephan, Humphrey Yang and a few others, but generally you are right.

      Its unclear which stocks and sectors will lead the market in the next uptrend. Stay away from the stock market if you do not have guidance from a plannner and investment strategist. My finances have been in order since I got a wealth planner like Monica with a 600 B AUM working for me.

    • @richarddamien4654

      There are many independent advisors to choose from. But I work with Monica Mary strigle and we've been working together for almost four years and she's fantastic. You could pursue her if she meets your requirements.

    I think we are rapidly coming to a point where none of this will matter. I admire your balanced approach and your willingness for self analyzation. At the end of the day all that matters is to know where you're going when you die. Will it be heaven or will it be hell? This life is but a breath
