    No doubts , A good way of growing and saving your money is through investing . You don't need to have much before you can invest. "That little money you have now can make you millions if you invest it wisely". I wasnt financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my second house already, earn on a monthly through passive income and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing is a grand choice I made..

    @Vic Vic You are right, I am one of many who has benefited from investing with Regina Louise Collaro. 2020 is an unforgettable year in my life, back then I lost my job due to covid and had no reason to live. Regina made a good life possible for me through passive income and I owe her my life. To be honest, I feel like she is an angel of who was sent to help those who are suffering financially.

    I could not have found your channel at a better time. I grew up almost exactly like you including down to playing cricket haha. However, I took the Comp Sci route and I have huge regrets. I am trying to get some PE or HF experience prior to business school to prevent locking myself out. I've sent out 100s of messages to people in the industry with no luck. You seem like a really nice person, do you mind if I message you on LinkedIn? Thanks!
