    Tokyo's safety is evident when someone making $25 million USD per year leaves three high-end watches in a parked car without concern. Even if they were stolen, the financial impact on him would be minimal, akin to an average person losing an umbrella.

    No worries, we all start somewhere! 📈 First, grab a comfy chair and some popcorn 🍿, and dive into some beginner-friendly finance videos. Start with basics like "investing for dummies" and "how to trade stocks 101." When you're ready for more, also consider financial advisor like "MARGARET ELLEN WHITLOCK"-I came across her in a CNBC interview, she's like the Yoda of finance! May the gains be with you! 🚀💰

People that think about solving other peoples problem and then about the money. 9:27 "money goes last for me" So key things I guess I learned : passion to do something. Turning that passion into something that will help the people around you.

One thing amongst millionaires (and I know several) is that their mind is the same, so this video shows the mindset is way different to those people who work 9-5 and choose that lifestyle.

    I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

    Can you make a video about how the super rich in Japan navigate the japanese tax system, since with the amount of money that often is flaunted in your clips, they would be liable to 40% incomtax, not to mention the national helth insurance. and if trading stockmarket they would also be liable for futures earingins taxsation. I think that would be a phenomenal episode!
