  1. Hi all,

    Thanks for watching this video. This is more geared towards beginner investors, but if you are seasoned already, it never hurts to go over it once more! Hope you are having a happy holiday, and thank you for watching my channel as usual. See you in the next one!

  2. I started with $5k just last week in 2026, and now I've hit $87,590. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night-generational wealth isn't just about getting money. It's about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family if they dont understand how to manage and sustain it. That's why I really love this

  3. I made over 200k this past year …i absolutely need to find some assets or business next year to mitigate my taxes. I'm dedicating next year to doing just that. I can't be paying all these

  4. Thank you for the video. I recently paid off my home and all my debt. I've been investing in my 403B with max match for 20+ years. I now want to start investing more on my own with newly available funds. The S&P500 index seems like the best route for someone like me.

  5. It’s easy to collect strategies; it’s harder to apply them consistently. After testing multiple approaches without stable results, I’m wondering if anyone has experience learning directly from a mentor who prioritizes who focuses on the process instead of pre recorded content?

  6. Contact a financial advisor like @drcscottfinance. She can really help you with all types of insurance and investments. She is a series 63 and series 6. Dr. Christinia Scott works for New York Life. Like her page as well, as she needs to build her site.

  7. Same here. I didn't get any financial education growing up. I started at 45, overwhelmed and embarrassed. Two years later, I'm finally debt-free after paying off $176k. My net worth “ isn't crazy, but it's stable – around $880k. And honestly, that stability feels like a blessing.

  8. Hit $80K after years of discipline. This isn't just about money-it's about transformation: from nothing to stability, from mistakes to wisdom, and now a family that understands how to keep wealth alive for generations. That's the true

  9. Thank you, I’m 29 years old and I wanna start investing now, I have no knowledge of it and I came upon your video, I will be going through your videos and hope you post more explaining what others investments/stocks you can buy.

  10. Hit $150K after years of discipline. This isn't just about money-it's about transformation: from nothing to stability, from mistakes to wisdom, and now a family that understands how to keep wealth alive for generations. That's the true THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMATION

  11. This is exactly the kind of video beginners need. I like how it lays out a clear, practical roadmap instead of overcomplicating things. Starting in 2026 can feel uncertain, but the step-by-step structure makes investing seem manaeable and realistic. Simple, grounded and very actionable.

  12. Good analysis, man. I started trading 3 months ago with €2,000 and now I have €22,000 I was talking to my son about this the other day: building wealth isn't just about accumulating money. It's about teaching everyone how to earn it, but also how to keep it. There's no point in supporting a family if they don't understand how to handle and manage it.
    Congratulations on this update.🙏

  13. I came into trading with high expectations, only to realize how misleading simplicity can be. Volatile markets and inconsistent advice led to confusion, and despite testing different approaches, results haven’t followed. Instead of staying frustrated by others progress, I’m seeking solid, practical guidance to rebuild my approach the right way.
