Most beginners believe that investing in crypto and stock is all about holding till it rises, with the recent activities in the market and recession. We should know that long term price predictions are very difficult to achieve. Its better to trade short term and make profit.
dude, that money is way more than I make lmao....and the typical working adult in the US makes about $55k a year, with younger adults often making less than that at like $24k to $32k. So no, it's not like the guy is working slave's wages here....
Victor Sweeney is not just a funeral director, but a family man, an historian, an artisan, a keeper and steward of memory and a quite lovely human being.
I think he's an excellent example of a successful person. He's not in a career for the money, status or power but because it gives him purpose and he genuinely enjoys it. Thanks for sharing your story, Victor!
Two things: this is a recession proof business, since he said everybody will die. Secondly, I guess you could say that people are dying to get in. Thanks I am here all week!!!!!!
Dang. I learned a WHOLE LOT watching this 9 minute video about life and this dude. You can tell he's the perfect guy for the job and more than that, HE LOVES his job and LIFE. What more could you want out of life?
It takes a special person to work in such a humbling and sensitive role with every person you meet. Someone has to do it, I'm glad he's getting paid well for it. It's also a reminder that since death can happen at any moment it's important that you get your affairs in order. I'm not telling people what to do but life insurance, even if term instead of permanent is a very wise decision so you don't burden anyone with whatever you have going on in your life.
Really enjoyed watching this; you can tell he is content with his life and being of service to others while not only thinking about money, a very refreshing attitude to have .
I honestly feel incredibly discomforted and overwhelmingly sad in funerals but honestly is people like Victor Sweeney that are a light on such hard moments. I’m Mexican, were close to the day of the dead and I don’t see death as the end, I love putting the ofrenda but funerals, it takes all my strength to be in them and all my love for the deceased person is what gives me that strength, I discuss this with my therapist.
People don't realize what a mortician has to go through sometimes. Friend of mine told me a story about working for a funeral home with a older guy and he said that his co-worker has seen some pretty horrible things and has been through so much ,but yet never showed any emotion.... until the day that they received two twin toddler girls. He said that guy just fell to his knees and started crying. Everybody has their Breaking Point
Wow. This man is everything. Thank you for your service to grieving families and friends. Especially thank you for giving the deceased dignity, grace, and the honoring of their life they deserve. We need more humble people like you.
I think this is why depression is at all time highs, people don’t hate their work they hate their jobs meaning they’d happily do their work but in a way like this guy gets to do it.
Looks like a Stauer Dashtronic. Very reasonably priced for an unusual movement (has one hand that stays stationary with 2 moving dials to show the time.)
Becoming the person we needed during tough times is a powerful motivator for both personal and professional development. I wish everyone reading this the best of luck in achieving success!
You're right, Investing in bitcoin now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market people are really making a lot of money from it... therefore investing in it wouldn't be a bad idea 💡
Love Victor's Q&As on Wired...Thanks for spotlighting him here. He might just be the mot successful person you've ever featured. We should all be so fortunate.
I can imagine that the funeral industry is a calling and those who believe it as such will always be the ones with a human touch. Thank you sir for all you do
In highschool one of my classmates in my psychology class had her father who was a mortician speak to our class. He was well dressed and very well spoken.
Isn't that wonderful when we call tell that someone loves Jesus by how they live. They are a living testimony and that is kind of rare. I hope to be this way.
When i've grow up dead was literally hushed up especially to us children, so my real first dead person was (with 19) my beloved aunt and it shocked me so much that I developed a strong fear of dying. A time ago i saw another vid of Mr Sweeny in which He answered questions from the internet, since then i'm delighted (and that's a first) to see him talking about his job bc he does it with passion, respect, empathy and humor. It's not that my fears went suddenly away but now, little by little, i start to look more into that topic and i really think that Mr Sweeny definitely had something to do with it. Thank you for beeing a great human being!
I plan to retire or reduce my work hours in five years, and I'm interested in how others allocate their income between savings, spending, and investments. I currently earn about $175K annually but haven't built up much in savings so far.
There are numerous strategies to achieve high yields during a financial crisis, but it is crucial to undertake such trades with the guidance and supervision of a professional financial advisor to ensure informed decision-making and risk management.
That's true. I've been assisted by a financial advisor for almost a year now. I started with less than $200K, and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
Julianne Iwersen Niemann is the coach that guides, you probably might've come across her before I found her through a Newsweek report, she's quite known in her field, look-her up.
He is fantastic: it understands things on such a simple yet deep level. I agree with everything he said. He seems to have a happy life. His wife is happy. His kids are happy. They wait for him to come home.
An exceptional person. Embracing the human side of the job than a higher paying corporate version of it. Wishing him to always be fulfilled in what he does. It's really inspiring to know that there are people like him around us still in this fast tracking world.
I think he's cool. I wanted to be a mortician when I turnt 25. There was only one school that you could go to, which was an hour and a half away. He makes it look very nice!
8:16 Just hearing Victor say, “If you want to play Super Smash on Monday, if you want to come, Chris,” made me smile. Knowing from his videos with Wired that morticians can be faced with some of the most mentally challenging and taxing sights and tasks anyone could endure, seeing that side of him where he talks about video games and hanging out with his friend is awesome. Mad respect to this gentleman and what he does for his community.
I'm very happy for him, his family and his community. A decent living and a happy normal life. Sad that this is lost dream for most. I wish we could all be so blessed with purpose and a good modest life.
Biggest lesson i've learnt in 2024 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and follow a strategy with a long term edge.
Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
Such market uncertainties are the reason I don’t base my market judgements and decisions on rumors' and hear-says, it got the best of me in the year 2020 and had me holding worthless positions in the market. I had to revamp my entire portfolio through the aid of my financial advisr, before I started seeing any significant results happens in my portfolio. Been using the same advisor since then and I’ve scaled up almost a million within 2 years. Whether a bullish or down market, both makes for good profit, it all depends on where you’re looking.

One of the things that worry me about death is being forgotten, or dying in a way or place where my family can’t find me or know what happened to me. So to know this man is not only compassionate to his current clients but also making an effort to give the unknown people in the cemetery a way to be remembered is touching💙
I would love to hear someone from the more corporate side of this field talk about their experience. This is great and all but seems a bit too involved and personal for my liking, and this is a field I’m interested in
What a nice man really enjoying his job! It's a difficult area... I couldn't stop thinking in the show Six Feet Under while I was watching this video 😂 and I saw it not long time ago, really good show!
Congratulations to this man! Certainly seems very content and happy. I know many others, who make a lot more money, I among them, who are not nearly as happy. As I have gotten older, I have learned that money doesn't truly buy happiness. I am very happy for Victor. Bravo to You!!
Victor I am 30, not much younger than you. You embody the kindness of Fred Rogers in a way that is lost among our generation. May you always find happiness with your life and family. You are truly doing selfless work.

When one of my uncles who was a funeral director passed away unexpectedly about fifty years ago my family asked me if I would like to continue the business that he had established. I thought about it for a few days and decided that I just wasn't cut out for it, not because of the embalming or other physical duties of a funeral director but because of having to deal with familial grief on a daily basis. I thought at that time that the morbidity of it all would be overwhelming. Maybe I was wrong and that so much of it is a sense of perspective. Kudos to Victor Sweeney for maintaining a positive perspective and dedicating his life to easing the pain of others.

I appreciate the positive take on death. I think we all need that in this life. Not to fear death but to embrace it. Not desiring It's early onset. But not fearing it as well. Thank you so much.
This man is really the internet's favorite mortician.
I can't think of a name more fitting for a mortician than Victor Sweeny

The money's enough to be secure if you're smart, is the thing. Many of us can't say that.
Victor Sweeney is not just a funeral director, but a family man, an historian, an artisan, a keeper and steward of memory and a quite lovely human being.

This guy should be a professor or something he seems like a good teacher.
Maybe during his retirement when he’s gotten too old to carry & inspect bodies, I’m sure that’d be good for him
Let's be real, he's too good to be a prof
My friend is a mortician. His views on death are so comforting. Takes a special person to do this job and I'm grateful for guys like then.
Mr. Sweeney is very knowledgeable!
He has multiple 'Mortician Answers' segments on Wired.
Yes! Love his wired videos

Really love his vibe, very compassionate, self-aware and level-headed! For some reason I feel he could be at a Tim Burton’s movie.

This is beautiful. He loves his work. No amount of money will bring you peace.
Really enjoyed watching this; you can tell he is content with his life and being of service to others while not only thinking about money, a very refreshing attitude to have .
85k is a lot of money lmao
Check him out on wired where he answers death questions, he’s very engaging and open about this tough subject
I will always watch Victor Sweeny. He has so much passion for what he does and showcases the beauty in a field that is often considered unmentionable.
This is a true influencer. What an astonishing man. God bless you and your family.
I've watched all of Victor's videos. I just love this man. He's so kind, so good. Protect him at all costs.

Assets that can make one successful in life
I. Crypto
2. Stocks
3. forex
You're right
But I didn't know why people remain poor due to ignorance
You're right, Investing in bitcoin now is the best thing to do especially with the current rise in the market
people are really making a lot of money from it...
therefore investing in it wouldn't be a bad idea 💡
speaking of crypto trading I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as mrs Caitlin albrecht
The very first time i tried, i invested $2000 and after a week, i received $19000. That really helps me a lot to pay up bills
What an amazing story. God bless you sir. may You live a happy long life.

What a fascinating life story

The beginning feels like an Episode of Parks and Rec
This was interesting especially because death is a such a difficult and hard topic at times. I’m happy enjoys his career and is making a difference!
By just the way he talks, I could tell he is a believer. God bless him for his service!
Isn't that wonderful when we call tell that someone loves Jesus by how they live. They are a living testimony and that is kind of rare. I hope to be this way.
