  • @humphrey says:

    Thanks for watching all! What other videos do you want to see, should I cover some more news-worthy topics? Let me know in the comments!!

  • @Nottheworst4565 says:

    Can you make a video about funds like VOOG, VGT and SCHG? Moderate-High to High risk etfs and maybe some index funds.

  • @Ksenia584 says:

    Having a significant other who has different values about money is a major mistake too.

  • @procyon.lotor4 says:

    I also play a lot of high competition video games. Players at lower ranks tend to blame everyone else. They have an external locus of control. They flame everyone else for what’s going wrong and never take the time to look at themself, look at what they can do to improve the situation. Even if the obvious issue is someone else’s performance, there is always something YOU can do to compensate. When you get to the top 10% of players, people stop commenting on other’s gameplay. They communicate useful information and trust that other’s will know what to do with that information. They communicate and discuss what can be done for current issues, rather then telling someone they’re crap at the game.

  • @evanmichel632 says:

    Before watching this video, Iā€™m gonna take a wild guess and say that designer clothing, a car loan, and looking rich over being rich all get mentioned within five minutes

  • @tommays56 says:

    Got really sick retired early and the low stress lifestyle completely turned around my health nightmare and now I can enjoy bike riding on the farm roads or 30 minute drive to the Surfing area

  • @joeyharrington1863 says:

    I think these recent videos are making it more apparent that I don’t need to be rich. Being stable and comfortable is more than enough.

  • @kenyu8192 says:

    8th thing you should avoid: EGGS!!!
    Have y’all seen those prices on eggs!!!!

  • @Anngrl69 says:

    Robert Kiyosaki isnā€™t a great resource to reference, otherwise love the vids

  • @Kim_yttt says:

    If you want to be rich, avoid living beyond your means and falling into lifestyle inflation. Start investing early instead of relying solely on one income source, and always prioritize financial education to understand investing, taxes, and money management. Even investing $100 per month can compound to tremendous wealth over decades. The key is to keep going!

  • @LoveDogra-g8b says:

    This isnā€™t another self-help book. Itā€™s a manual for breaking free from the system. The moment I finished book Hidden Codex of Wealth, I realized how blind I had been.

  • @appleztooranges says:

    Lifestyle inflation hit me hard when I got job promotion and bought a new 2023 Tacoma trd pro. Good bye promo

    • @psilocybemusashi says:

      yeah new truck is always the wrong answer. but really any new car is a bad financial decision. i just did my taxes my AGI is 240 k. I never bought a new car.

    • @appleztooranges says:

      @ my truck I drove 17 years is on last leg. Figured I would treat myself. I keep my vehicles long term. Hoping to get 15-20 years out of this vehicle

  • @BatsAndBadgers says:

    Mr beast is a crazy exploitative employer with questionable ethics in every area of his business, not including lying with sweepstakes. No I won’t take his advice. Implementing your rules, don’t take advice from the wrong people and do your research on people who look good on the surface

  • @williambennington-w says:

    I choose SPMO, PFIX, SPHD, SPYD as standout ETFs to buy in 2025. By investing in equal parts of each stock, you can expect to earn a 3.8% yield — which is roughly 3 times higher than the S&P 500 yield of 1.2%. I’m seeking ways I could divest some of my portfolio, maybe around 150k, to include digital currencies. What’s your take on that?

    • @nevagunter3305 says:

      A long-term approach can definitely help with navigating market volatility, set clear goals, focus on quality Investments, stay patient and avoid emotional reactions but i always advise getting a financial professional to avoid terrible mistakes. A financial advisor can provide valuable insights and help ensure that your investment portfolios are aligned with your long-term financial goals. I currently have a $1.8m in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth, all thanks to my financial adviser

    • @williambennington-w says:

      This is incredible. Could you recommend who you work with? I really could use some help at this moment

    • @nevagunter3305 says:

      My financial adviser is Gabriel Alberto William, a renowned figure in his line of work. You can make a research online with his name. He has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market

    • @williambennington-w says:

      He appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search with his name and came across his website, thank you for sharing

  • @jnk427 says:

    When you were talking about the Dunning Kruger Effect, it made me think of one of my favorite sayings. “The more you learn the less you know.”

  • @JamesSmith-r6n says:

    3 things I started doing last few months:
    1. I stopped believing in those ‘get rich quick’ nonsense. You need to build real skills
    2. I read the book Invisible Laws of Prosperity, and I implemented all its lessons into my daily routine
    3. I started embracing all opportunities and challenges

  • @KGNmusic-td6us says:

    There’s a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity, and it talks about how using some secret techniques you can attract a lot of money, it’s not some bullshit law of attraction, it’s the real deal

  • @yunishgamer3 says:

    Finding the gilded nexus of prosperity ebook should be your top priority, even if it’s the last thing you do in life

  • @ChandujenaNanduJena says:

    the book that changed my approach to money is The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity all recommendations… It’s completely different from anything I’ve read so far

  • @ShaikVasi-yl4me says:

    This video is a game-changer! So much helpful information packed into one clip. I personally don’t like promoting anything in comments, but I simply have to share with you a book called The Gilded Nexus of Prosperity, that book changed my approach to money, the methods in that book are impressive
