    At this moment, it is crucial for individuals to prioritize investing in alternative streams of income that are not reliant on the government, particularly with the existing worldwide economic crisis. Investing in stocks, gold, silver, and digital currencies can still be profitable during this period. Therefore, it is advisable to explore these investment options to secure one's financial future.

      Hey Jamie! Gosh I've read so many. I think some of the key ones for me were Tony Robbins Money Master The Game, anything from Jim Rohn (although thats more on personal development too), Psychology of Money is a good one. Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is also a decent read. Richest Man in Babylon - this is all about timeless money principles. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill - if you get through all those you'll have 99% of the knowledge you'll likely ever need!

      It’s a very solid point. Most of those with a mortgage only consider the monthly payment. However, mortgage finance is actually one of the most expensive products you can sign up to. It makes complete financial sense to overpay as much as you can, to minimise the interest bearing debt.

      @davideyres955 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@imconfused1237if you look backwards and invested the overpayment into the stock market you would have had more money than you would have if you’d overpaid your mortgage. However past performance is no guarantee so I’d rather over pay.
      However if you lose your job you could lose your house. You also need to look at potential reduction in interest if you improve your loan to value ratio.
      Personally once I had spare cash I over paid my mortgage and managed to pay it off. I chose to reduce the monthly payments when I over paid and that way you can see the saving every month and that keeps you motivated. If you shorten the term that’s years in the future. Also if you put the reduction in payments into the next overpayment and the compound reduction should see you finish the mortgage in around the same time period as if you had chosen to reduce the term. And if you do have to stop your mortgage payment will be smaller anyway.
      Once you’ve over paid then your extra money can be used for investments.
      And the main thing once you’ve paid off your mortgage they can’t take your house off you even if you lose your job.

    Digital silver in a digital age, litecoin is a digital precious metal, not a security. Litecoin is the oldest coin on the market after bitcoin, since its inception in 2011. Scarcity of litecoin is the key feature of its technology. Everyone tends to flock to digital silver and digital gold, litecoin and bitcoin, when things aren't going well. Litecoin is a decentralized digital commodity, just like bitcoin, but not even close so heavily concentrated in a few hands like bitcoin is. Both have Proof-of-Work consensus, and both have limited supply of coins. Only that litecoin is lighter, swifter, and hugely undervalued against bitcoin. Litecoin (LTC) being a digital commodity provides a decent inflation hedge as well because there will be mined only a limited number of 84 million litecoins in total.

    It is a very useful video. However, another saying is ‘knows the price of everything, but the value of nothing’. Everyone is different but I don’t think it’s healthy to ‘micro charge’ all activity in your life. I’ll give you an example:
    My boundary walls needed rebuilding. I could’ve contacted a bricklayer and laid them to do this for me however, I valued learning the skill and the sense of satisfaction from doing it myself. It may have taken twice as long but I was also twice as happy.
    As we head towards retirement another factor to consider is its impact on physical and mental health. Sure, as I acquire wealth I can just ‘pay a guy’ but you will soon lose all sense of purpose. Stay busy and you stay healthy.
    I’m a bit further down the road than you buddy. The advice is good, but it has to be a balance otherwise there will be unintended consequences. No one ever wants to be the richest guy in the graveyard.
