      Very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $750k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance from *ROCHELLE DUNGCA-SCHREIBER* who's a guru in the game, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.

    I bought his blackjack book when I was about 26. About 1980. I studied it and made $2000+ on a trip through Las Vegas in 1981 at the old Stardust. I found it hard work for me to keep count and I was scared they would figure out I was a card counter. Amazing to find he is still alive and doing awesome.

    Tim, if you get a chance to talk to him again (which I'm sure you will), please ask him some details about his diet. It is inspiring to see an 89 year old man having more memory cells in his brain than most of 30 year olds. No kidding.

      @@TheSteinbitt this is partially true, but also lifestyle plays and is often forgotten.
      Poorer people and less genius people can do this through the learning process. Many studies show that the very act of learning can counter age related decline.
      So if you're in a rut, take up language learning is one of the simplest. It is just workout for the brain.
      Having worked in Healthcare, if sloth, gluttony and substance abuse weren't the borderline default of most people, hospitals and nursing homes would have like half the patients or less.
      Take a walk, read a book and learn a language. It's really that simple, but the reality is most people won't do it.
      You can take cheap or free courses even, if you don't need an accredited degree, don't seek just the bar, or just fishing. Go to the local place that teaches random skills, do an art class, a cooking class etc. This dude was constantly thirsting for knowledge, and constantly learning is the workout for the brain.
      And if you approach it in part for your health, then even if you're not a genius and not easy to learn, it doesn't matter, do it for "fun" don't over stress or beat yourself up if you're not a genius. Just learn what you can learn.

      I reckon if you have a LOT of money you can live how you want. I'm guessing since you are here we have to understand the system plays both sides and needs our money to pay others. Problem is when money buys information it can result in slavery. "fact checkers" owned by Thomson group run by hedge fund managers, money for some is like a drug, there is never enough.
