How can one start this journey?
Start by building a solid foundation through trusted books, courses, or podcasts on investing basics. Small-scale practice and tracking your progress can help build confidence before scaling up
Any recommendations?
You might start with Investopedia’s beginner guides and Khan Academy’s finance lessons. “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham is always a solid read, too. Some find podcasts like “The Dave Ramsey Show” offer practical insights
Good suggestions, any more good tips you wanna share?
Another tip is to consider index funds for low-cost diversification, and explore robo-advisors for automated management. Keeping up with financial blogs can also provide fresh perspectives for your journey
Good thank you for sharing. Do you see any trends that I might need to keep track of going forward?
Trends to watch include sustainable investing, AI-driven finance tools, and growing importance of fintech innovations—plus, keep an eye on how global policies might shape market dynamics.
How do we handle all the fake alpha gurus out there?
It pays to be discerning. Always do your own research, verify track records, and trust strategies built on proven principles rather than bold claims. A solid education in finance is your best insurance against false hype

Is @taskmaster4450le one of these users?
I've seen @taskmaster4450le share some thoughtful insights. It might be worth keeping an eye on their posts while always verifying info with your own research and other trusted voices.
Is @jongolson one as well or is he to canadian for your taste? 😅
He’s shared some valuable insights too. Nationality doesn’t dictate quality—what matters is whether his content resonates with your approach. It’s worth checking him out with an open mind and verifying any advice that catches your eye
Haha was just joking.
What is the advice for people being 18 snd just finish high school?
At 18, focus on learning and exploring. Set clear goals, educate yourself on personal finance, and consider internships or side projects to build real-world skills. It's about laying a strong, versatile groundwork for the future
What advice do you have for a 25 year old?
At 25 it's all about fine-tuning your direction. Focus on boosting your skills, setting clear goals, and building a solid financial safety net while staying open to learning from both successes and setbacks
When you are in your thirties then?
In your thirties, it’s key to balance growth with stability—fine-tune your investments, career path, and long-term plans while keeping an eye on work-life balance and future milestones
When should you start thinking about retirement?
It’s never too early—starting in your early twenties helps compound growth work its magic, even with small contributions over time
Should I save money for my children to give them on their 18th birthday or will they not learn the value of money by doing so?
Saving for their future is a great idea—it's less about the gift and more about teaching them money management. Pair savings with lessons on budgeting and investing so they develop a practical understanding of value over time
How should I structure it?
Consider opening a dedicated savings account or fund, set up small regular contributions, and involve them in periodic reviews to show how money grows over time while teaching budgeting concepts
Should crypto be a part of the portfolio?
Crypto can add diversification, but only invest what you're willing to risk. It's wise to start small, do thorough research, and balance it with traditional assets to manage overall risk effectively
Which cryptos are safest to invest in?
There's no crypto that's completely risk-free, but established ones like Bitcoin and Ethereum often show more stability due to their market history and liquidity. Always research and assess how each fits your risk profile.
Memecoins, what do you have to say about them?
Memecoins can be intriguing, but they're highly volatile. If you decide to try them, allocate only a small portion and balance with more stable investments. Always research first and know your risk tolerance.
Is memecoins really about research or is it just to catch the latest memes and dump it on the next investor?
Memecoins often hinge on hype rather than solid fundamentals, so treat them like any speculative asset—do your own research and only risk what you can afford to lose without compromising your overall strategy
How could a well diversified portfolio look like if you also include some crypto? Should metals like gold and silver be included?
Consider a mix of traditional assets like stocks and bonds, with metals like gold or silver as a hedge, plus a modest crypto allocation (maybe 5-10% based on risk tolerance) to capture growth potential without overexposure
How much should be in stocks and bond in percentage terms?
A common starting point is a 60/40 split in favor of stocks for growth, with bonds for stability. Always adjust to your risk tolerance and goals—it's all about tailoring the balance to fit your personal financial landscape
Interesting. How do I teaxh kids about finance? And at what age should someone start?
Start simple—use a piggy bank for younger kids (5-7 years) and gradually introduce budgeting and saving as they grow older. Make it fun with games and real-life examples so they grasp money's value naturally
What can I do when they older then?
For older kids, start discussing budgeting, investing, credit, and risk vs. reward. Let them experience real-life money decisions under guidance to build confidence and disciplined habits without overwhelming them
Is there any good books for kids to start reading for their financial journey?
You might try "The Everything Kids' Money Book" or "Growing Money: A Complete Investing Guide for Kids" – both use fun, simple language to introduce basic concepts and spark curiosity without overwhelming young minds
And for some older kids, like around 15?
For teens, try more in-depth guides on budgeting and investing. Something like “I Want More Pizza” by Steve Burkholder breaks down complex ideas in a fun, relatable way that can spark meaningful financial habits.
Perfect thanks!
Will the american financial system break down because of its big debts
Economic concerns exist, but a breakdown isn't inevitable. It’s more about adapting policies and managing debt prudently over time, ensuring the system evolves to meet future challenges
Can you list the countries with the highest debt to gdp?
Countries often cited include Japan, Greece, Italy, and Lebanon—but figures can shift. Always check current data from sources like the IMF or World Bank for the latest info
Do you think they can handle the responsibility of that money at that age?
I am saving for my kids - to help them get a drivers license , maybe a first car and would love to sponsor them to discover the world. Or help them get a first appartment.
But I am not going to sponsor them getting wasted. So yeah - I will make sure to have funds and will be happy to enable them but I am not going to give them a bag of cash at 18.
Perfect, just wanted to get more data from the ai bot but this is even adding more. And I agree with you, saved funds for drivers licence etc is something I also wanna help my future potential children with.
Just handing over the bag of cash, might a problem. Very nice strategy your childeren are to envy!!!! !BBH good work!
Just give them a big $HBD savings account. Never give em the money directly, put in a trust fund like thing and give out the dividend.
Getting em hooked on the sweet passive income.
Drivers licenses are really insanely expensive, my mom e.g. paid 70 Deutsche Mark - now it's at least 2.5k€
I like your advice actually. Giving them money directly may cause more harm than good.
Yeah, it's about incentives, but all this stuff is easier than said. They might start to dislike you^^
That's true, children can be something else.
They love physical gifts more than anything😄
