Top financial adviser: Just working hard will not make you wealthy

[b'mer...]

That's life and business. The person at the top usually does very little in exerting energy and time. Instead, they out think the person putting in work and man power to accomplish goals or project deadlines...work start, not hard...

There's a lot of ppl that would be rich if all it took was hard work

Aerospace engineers can make $500K/yr +

Haskell programmers targeting the financial sector can make $200K/yr+

SAS Engineers/ Data Scientists can make $200K/yr easily.

Work smarter, not harder. You could work an 8-5 in any of those positions and retire a multi-millionaire off just your 401K with no additional effort.

I learned this concept a couple of years ago. Also, working hard doesn't result to a rewarded raise either. Sure, you'll get gratified for it but gratification doesn't pay bills

I'm always skeptical of someone in the finance industry selling me something that tells me to invest in financial instruments "because it's easy"

and this is coming from someone who works in the financial industry haha

if the shit was simple there wouldn't be mofos writing books about it

I was thinking this while reading. I'm always apprehensive to listening to how to get wealthy from wealthy people just cause I don't see them just giving away the game for free. Like they know we live a in a capitalist society so of course people will flock to get the knowledge you have. My concern is are they running game or do they really care

Lazy motherfuckers took this the wrong way.

Dude didnt say dont work, all he said was make sure that your money is working as hard as you.

Cant make $400 a week and save enough to invest and get them high digit returns.

First you gotta word hard and make the capital. This working hard could be working 80 hours to save, or, working hard as fuck in school and getting a good degree in a growing field and make 6 figs, or starting a business and putting in crazy hours. Either way, this dudes advice is what to do with the money after you worked hard and made it.

Its hard to achieve NOWADAYS because before thinkinh and having the effort to INVEST you will

By more shoes and clothes than you need

Buy more drinks

Overspend on 'deserved' vacations

Changing TV each year

Oversimping women

Making it rain in the clubs

Get high on your credit CARDS.

Good article.

Takeaway is u don't have to hit a 'home run'

Just be consistent

 

[JokerzWyld]

It's called CAPITALism because wealth isn't gained by how much labor you contribute but the amount of capital you have invested in an enterprise. A sad truth indeed.

I don't understand none of that shit.

We still have tube TV's at the crib 'cause they still work. We have two big screens, one was given to us as a part of a house purchase (it was in the husband's "man cave"), the other we bought back in 2005. The joint from 2005 is the only HD TV in the house but even then it's limited to 1080i, not even 1080p. Rear projection Hitachi joint but it does have HDMI on it. The other one is an old 4:3 rear projection Mitsubishi joint. What's the point in changing out TV's so often when the old one still works???

Clothes and shoes are bought when we need them. I personally five a fuck less about what's fashionable so I never really spend a lot on my clothes. Shoes, on the other hand, I might spend a lil bit on because I have flat feet and they underpronate. I have to make absolute certain that the shoes I buy are just right. Case in point, I just copped a pair of Saucony running shoes for $90 a few weeks ago because they fit all the criteria.

Making it rain in clubs is plain stupid.

Simping hoes is stupid.

Leasing a car is stupid. Buying an older car outright makes more sense in the long term. Unless you're a commercial lending broker, there's no real need to have the latest whip.

Maxing out your CC's is stupid as fuck too. You'll never pay them shits down and it affects your credit score as well.
