Hey, some Americans think that way too.

Buying Bitcoin is the most underrated and most effective tip in this entire video. Well done!

Humphrey is a very smart man. I absolutely love his advise. So much wisdom. This is the man to listen too.

never fly first class (unless someone else pays for it)...you can fly economy and spend the difference on an awesome steak dinner or something and IMHO thinking about it that way makes the choice really obvious if first class saved you time that would be maybe worth it but the plane takes off and lands at the same time for everyone. it helps if you are able to just sleep on planes because then there's basically no difference between first class and economy lol

General comment: Discord did not take me to your channel on the invite initially. Not sure why, but after several attempts, and for an unknown reason, it suddenly worked. Just so’s ya’ know……..loved the video by the way. Very to the point. Too late for me. I have already learned these lessons the hard way. At 70, I’m in a different phase compared to anyone pre-retirement but most of these hold true at any age.

I agree with all of this

My most important money rule is Never Put All Your Eggs In One Basket. As a 9-5er, I made more than twice my income last year from only stocks and freelance developing. I also experiment with a couple of other things. It's way harder to make money plans when it's coming from just a source No Matter How Well It Pays.

Say you have one dollar and I give you a dollar. You have increased your wealth by 100%, but it doesn't buy you much more. The number of zeros behind a number matters. The rate may have slowed, but the growth is exponential. In a different video he shows that getting to your first $100k is 25% of the way to getting to $1 million. It takes about 8 years to get to $100k. The jump from $900k to $1 million only takes 1.5 to 2 years. Compound interest gets spectacular if you can make it to that 7th, 8th doubling. That's why everyone harps on starting early.

This video 💯 💯 🔥

Content’s been on a heater lately I see you bossman

The only time it might be okay to carry a balance on credit cards is if you have 0% APR or some payment plan options where you don't have to pay interest. I got a travel rewards card that had 0% APR for the first year, so that year I booked my flights and other travel plans early to take advantage of better prices and then took my time paying them back, and it was also during a time of relatively high inflation. Another time I had to put in a lot of work on my car, so I put that on another credit card that had a payment plan with no fees or interest, so it was nice to be able to pay that off over six months.

I bank with Chase and USAA. I have a small portion of my paycheck (about 10%) directly sent to USAA, and the rest goes to Chase.
