I'm 41 and want to invest for my kid's futures but it's k owing what to put the 100 a month into?

I’ve tried just about every strategy out there, read the books, bought the courses, sat through the webinars, and I’m still getting smoked by this market. I’m not chasing some get rich quick dream, I just want to stop losing and learn how to properly hold coins or stocks without panic selling every dip or getting shaken out too early.

When did trading 212 change how I deposit money? I used to be able to quickly transfer money from my HSBC account but now I have to verify in my app which I can't do as I can't scan a QR code that doesn't exist 😂

Hit $500K 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

We lost around £20k in the 2008 crash but still had more in the pot than the cash we had put into it, that was the worst year, the pandemic caused a blip too but not as much as the 2008 crash, Stock and Share ISAs are way better than a Cash ISA over the years (average of 10% return for us), and this is how you should look at it, starting this and only using it for a few years is risky and although you will likely get more over these 2-3yrs than in a Cash ISA but you could lose out too, there are no guarantees (Better longer term), with a Cash ISA you're barely keeping on top of inflation, that being said I have a Cash ISA (not much) as part of my investment mix in case of any shocks to my S&S ISA, due to retire in a year (early fifties) and have had a S&S ISA since 2001 and using all of the ISAs to make up the income gap on our pension until we reach 67 as the state pension will effectively replace them. The S&S ISA will be the last we will draw from as we want to get as much return from it before we start drawing down from it….tax free!

A client told me, “I used to earn six figures and feel broke. After reading The Silent Laws of Cash Power by Cameron Solan– I realized I was just too visible.” That hit different.

At a private dinner in Singapore, surrounded by fund managers and ex-bankers, a man asked the table, “Who here’s actually read Cameron Solan?” Everyone went silent. Then one of them nodded slowly and said, “That book– The Silent Laws of Cash Power– changes how you breathe around money.” After reading it, I understood why. The book doesn’t sell dreams– it dismantles illusions. It showed me that wealth isn’t loud or emotional– it’s a system of controlled distance. The kind of distance that buys freedom.

Loud-money fades. Quiet-power lasts– The Silent Laws of Cash Power explains why.

Someone in a closed Telegram chat said, “Cameron Solan’s work isn’t about escaping the system– it’s about never triggering it.” That line stuck with me.

My life completely turned around after joining this channel. Glory be to God. I just turned 52 today, and I have reached $370K.Two years ago, I was sleeping in a basement apartment with zero savings and mounting debt. I stopped chasing 'get rich quick' schemes and started focusing on risk management and developing one solid edge. Today, I have achieved my 2026 financial goal. It's not about where you start, it's about trusting the process." 💯📈

I'm 42 started two years ago to top up my retirement found and I'm doing vanguard ETF , I believe it's a good time even though it would be much more beneficial if someone starts in their 20 – ties with just peanuts , I'm doing DCA and all up including my company contributions I'm investing 29 % of mi income I'm hoping to buy my financial freedom by 60 and maybe create generational wealth afterwards , I haven't been through nothing by my parents about money investments etc ,but I'm certainly making sure my kids are getting educated at home about it and I'm doing small contributions for my kids which will change their future

I get this question all the time too! Another common one is should I just invest all my money now!!

Probably not the right time to buy tech

Could be dead tomorrow. Forget saving. Live for today. Not die old and rich.

After spending two years paying off all my debt, I'm now in a position to put away £76660 a month. So the plan is £6660 in an emergency fund and invest the remaining £70k.

Any suggestions of good financial advisors to use in the UK? Im new to trading and dont have much knowledge at all!! Any pointers would be much appreciated!

Is it good idea to take out money when the stock market is great just before the decline?
Then when it hits the lows then just put alot of money into in then?

Excellent presentation Damien, confirms that ideally be in for the long term . I started very late as a hobby and if I make money it will be for my Children/Grandchildren but I have learned a lot and look forward to your channel updates, keep up the informative channel.

I'm 25 and I'm definetly late

The “DCA into All-World ETF for life” advice isn’t wrong it’s just built for a regime that is ending.
That strategy rests on 40 years of falling interest rates, expanding globalisation, dollar stability, and bonds offsetting equities. Every one of those pillars is now structurally cracking.
We are simultaneously at:
• The end of a 100-year sovereign debt cycle ($36 trillion US debt, $1 trillion/year interest alone)
• Year 55 of a fiat currency system that is visibly fracturing
• Year 3 of a 40-year geopolitical competition arc
• The beginning of an AI deflationary boom colliding with commodity inflation
• A live 1973-tier oil shock with the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed right now
Any one of these would stress a highly leveraged financial system. All five are active simultaneously. That has never happened before in modern financial history.
The 1970s equivalent of the All-World ETF delivered negative real returns for a decade. A Japanese investor who DCA’d the Nikkei from 1989 waited 34 years to break even.
Meanwhile institutions currently hold 0.17% of portfolios in gold. Evidence suggests 18% is optimal. That is an 89x gap. Central banks are buying gold at the fastest rate in 50 years. They know something passive investors don’t.
The DCA all-world crowd are not lying. They are teaching the last war. In a regime transition of this magnitude, passive exposure to a 60/40 portfolio is not a strategy. It is hope dressed as a plan.
Gold, real assets, and selective commodity exposure aren’t “alternative” anymore. In this environment, they are the mainstream. Paper assets are the speculation.

'Blah Blah buy the All-World' as always

This is probably the most important personal investment video/tutorial ever made. Period. Well done Damien.
