    America is currently plagued by the hydra-headed evil duo of inflation and recession. The worst part about this recession is that consumers are racking up credit card debt. In April alone, credit card debt went up 20% while rates have doubled in a year. Inflation is so high that consumers are literally taking debt for basic life necessities. Collapse has indeed begun..

      The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.

And to Mr. Smith for being gracious enough to honour their invitation. He's no flash-in-the-pan-here-today-gone-tomorrow guy. He's not some dude who is on the Forbes list and lost his billions because of delusions of grandeur, ignorant talk and was "cancelled". He didn't do it through sports and entertainment either. He has power and the respect of people who may not even like him for his colour. He can articulate and enunciate words without looking like a sellout. And he isn't into the tomfoolery. Most of the community didn't even know about this guy until the Morehouse incident. I'm just saying...we need to pay MORE attention to guys like this and how they've been able to play at these stratospheric levels for so long.

Every step he took are steps everyone watching this video can take. You may not end up where he is but you'll definitely be living better and more importantly, you'll understand the ingredients of success that will teach your children how to do the same.

    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life too 🙏🙏🙏

    Thank you, Robert Smith! Your videos have been a source of inspiration for me over the past few months. It's wonderful to connect with someone who shares the same interests. Embracing a minimalist lifestyle for the last 3 years has truly transformed me into a more focused and disciplined.Imagine investing $4,000 and receiving $16,500.

      Investing is considered a bedrock in making generation wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas.

      You're right! I used to have a senior colleague at work who lived well but never had an investment, unfortunately his job was terminated so he went from living well to surviving with his family. If you had invested while you were still working, you would have had another source of income.

Like I said I been watching his content since bout 2019, and I always try to tell my black friends about him but most of them don’t know who he is, which is a little shaming because we always are knowledgeable on successful rich and famous musicians and athletes and entertainers instead of knowing the ones that are actually in business and making a very huge impact in this country for everyone so saying our people wasn’t me trying make this a race battle or nothing, just wanting my people to seek knowledge on successful black individuals other than Entertainers…
