Furthermore, some folk employ hedging strategies or devote a portion of their portfolio to defensive assets that perform well during market downturns. How else is this achievable except through expert guidance? So far, that’s how I’ve stayed afloat over 5 years now, amassing nearly $1m in return on investments.

I work as an account executive, and make over $20k. $10k goes into dividends, and the other $10k covers my my food plus living expenses. I am seeing improvements in my portfolio, dividends look certain, but I have to attribute this to only to guidance of a licensed fund manager Emily Lois Parker who allocates funds to a plethora of assets.

    Your premise that Michael Jackson and Nic Cage were “worse off than most of us” is patently false. First off, they were living an incredible lifestyle. Now I know what you’re saying, that’s the whole point of your video is the lifestyle you’re living isn’t a good idea long term. but living the lifestyles that they were living and having the experiences that they were having that none of us will ever have has incredible value. It may not have long-term value, but it has incredible value. Second, while they were both in debt, they never had to give up a Lifestyle Either of them that was greater than almost 99.9% of the people on earth. So, while paying off their debts, at least in the example of Cage as Jackson died, they are still able to maintain a better lifestyle than all of us. Finally, they have the ability to not only pay their debts, but create long-term wealth almost overnight. Sure Cage had to do a few movies and maybe he wouldn’t have done otherwise, but so what? It’s not like he was tortured doing those movies, and he’s back to being super long term wealthy today. Again, he was able to do so while maintaining his wealthy globetrotting lifestyle.
    So no, we are not “better off” than either of those super wealthy individuals.
