How not to be grifted (Why did someone change word from scammed?). 1. Think - If it sounds too good to be true, it probable is. 2. Investing in the stock market is for a different kind of loser. You can't expect enough gain from a stock market investment to overcome inflation. The guys that say that they killed it on the stock market probably make their money from the book they con you into buying. The very large investors should be investigated for stock manipulation. They are so large (and sometimes vocal ie. Elon Musk) that they drive the market in the direction of their choosing. Big investors win while small investors lose. 3. Buying gold - You have to pay for security and storage. You may not even keep up with inflation in the long run. 4. Realestate. Buy the house to live in. Realestate does go up in value because we're not making more ground while we are increasing the number of people who want to own some (usually with a house they can live in), but if you take in the chances of a realestate crash, upkeep, repairs, and the interest you pay on the loan your in the hole investment wise.

You have no say in this matter migrant
No we're not. This is like folks who say "everyone has a LITTLE jealousy" or "everyones a LITTLE racist" , Noooooo! Folks tell themselves"if I cant overcome my problem, then NO ONE CAN!!"
I was grifted to the tune of $2000 this month 😢. Trust no one
I woke up and saw all the "con", "grifted" in the channel. I thought I was still sleeping and having a weird dream 😂.
the way this woman speaks in such loose terminology; all of her descriptive terms and propositions are very open ended "all of us can be conned." "there's a con for everything." "people who think they're smarter, they think it cant happen to them.", etc. make me believe she's a con artist. she doesn't tap into the psychology at all, these are all surface level talking points.
Duh. Credit cards? 😂
It’s impossible to scam me :)
NO WE AREN'T, I have NEVER been "grifted".

Two kind of folks: those being grifted, those who are going to be grifted.
Please, Theranos looked insane from the beginning, to me. If she was so smart that she could have done what she claimed there would have been other evidence of her brilliance to look at over her life, and there wasn't, that I am aware of. She dressed in a bizarre way, which to me indicated she was too self-centered, which can indicate a narrow mind. Narrow minds don't accomplish great things.

Read the book. Her intelligence was in a specific domain, and it wasn't science.
Lol in my opinion everything stated in this video was a bunch of bull. Whatever though. Not here to change anyone's kind.
I wasn't interested at all . Very boring in my opinion.

Please bow your head and say this prayer now 🙏 🙏 "Carry our prayers up to Gods throne, that the mercy of the Lord may quickly come and lay hold of the beast, the serpent of old, Satan and his demons, casting him in chains into the abyss, so that he can no longer seduce the nations. Thank you for everything CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE, LORD GOD. Amen." If you can't look and remember the words, just read and pray them while you have your head bowed and your hands in front of your face 🙏☺
