Money!

So let’s talk about one of the most dividing topics known to mankind.

It’s a creature that seems to continue to mutate with the times.

Especially looking into recent news that they will no longer be producing any new pennies. Does that mean 100 pennies no longer make a dollar? I’m sure that some will still accept pennies but the fact that they will no longer produce them is a scary sign.

In history as soon as the powers that produce the money start to change how they’re moving their currency around take notice and move with caution.

The dollar is already not backed by anything tangiable. If you really think about it outside of the treasuries, forex, stock, and other broker dealers the dollar would have lost the worlds reserve currency decades ago.

To be honest none of us know when the dollar will cease to exist but just as gold and silver ran their course I think it’s wise to be prepared for the next switch in our financial markets.

Which is why crypto may be the next financial standard to keep the dollar relevant. America has  it’s hand in to many pots to uphold the deals we have made to keep the other governments amicable with us.

When trying to become financially savvy.

No I know your reading the above title and thinking to yourself did this man just write savvy. Sometimes I feel like I’m older than I really am. Anyhooo lets get down to it. For some of us finances were a far far away topic depending on where and who was raising us. Money has been a sore topic for most families because even some of our parents didn’t really know much about it and or how it works. Outside of getting a job the idea of using money as a tool was pipe dream. That’s partly because some of our ancestors and parents weren’t able to get that outlook on life. When you’re only taught one way of earning this tool we call money it places cap on how much we can utilize our wages. The way that the world works now is completely foreign to most because people see that these social media influencers and other make it seem like lightwork. Not completely understanding what it takes to build a brand, become consistent in what you’re doing, and not being afraid to fail. If you pay close attention subscribers are the way of life now. To make it plain let’s say your charging $20 a month for each subscriber on a platform. We would simply need 1,000 peoples support which would earn us 20k a month. Most of us don’t even scratch half of that a month. So my challenge to you is to see where you can be a service or guide to mankind without retirement being your end goal.

This is not financial advice.

Will you be left out again?

Some of us still are skeptical about crypto. While crypto isn’t easy to grasp it may be more simple than trying to understand our current tax system in my opinion. If you have ever taken the time to check out how many law terms and legalese the system has to innodate us with unnecessary terms and crypto isn’t that complicated. Now I’m not trying to say that certain cyrptos are the next best thing compared to the dollar but some can definitely help with keeping your money from loosing all of its value the longer we save it in certain institutions. Educate yourself in the financial realm and work to fortify your hard earned funds to insure than you have a better opportunity to increase your chances at becoming wealthy. Never forget to do your own research trust no one on what to invest in.

Is It The Right Game?

Looking at the way the world works. A main question that I ask myself daily is have I been playing the right game. For some of you who don’t know I love video games mainly because of my interesting imagination and I like challenging myself against others ideas. By ideas I mean their finished products in the medium of a video game etc. God of war series. Then like most of us we revert back to what our parents or the people who were raising us told us. Got to school then college then don’t live above your means etc. Those were great for their times but like all humans we have to adapt to the current markets. Watching people spend upwards of 15 years at one company and then hearing about them getting fired with little to no experience elsewhere is heartbreaking. So if your like me I’m always curious about other means to providing for myself family and loved ones. Sometimes to my detriment because of my extremely high optimism. Now with the a little bit of experience of living on this beautiful marble I realized we have to pave our own lanes. It doesn’t mean that we have to completely reinvent the wheel. When you think about it most of the ways to make money are a remix of other things that have already been proven to work. The main problem is some of our inability to remain ourselves for financial gain. Stocks, real estate, streaming, reviews, blogs, websites, and affiliate marketing are just a few examples where being whoever you are authentically can payoff in the long run. Are you ready to press start and learn along the way? Or will the barriers of your mind, teachings, fear, and financial situation continue to stall you out.

Stocks and Etf Assets.

Ahhhh the beauty of financial literacy. I’m still a noob in this category so this will be a very simple explanation. I get straight to the point in my content. Stocks are based on the individual company value your doing your research on. A etf is a group of stocks inside of an index so that if one stock goes down it doesn’t heavily effect your portfolio if one company takes a massive hit.

Procrastination is Harmful.

Some say that its the rush and pressure of waiting until the last minute. I think that its the ability to continue to make said thing or task less important than it is. Sadly it leads to more anxiety and clouded thoughts. Yes I do it sometimes depending on the severity of what it is that needs to be done. Even though procrastination is not the best way to knock out a to do list but in my mind it feels right. So take the necessary steps to get rid of this horrible habit. My first and most important step is to do whatever it is that needs to be done ASAP. Regardless of how we feel about it. The task doesn’t have to be perfect by any means. As long as it doesn’t look like a 2 year old put it together and its professional get it done! You’re going to make mistakes and that’s alright. Be comfortable being uncomfortable and watch the leaps and bounds you make over time. Always be learning but don’t get stuck into information overload. Learn then execute. Baby step life and you may be surprised in how fast you will go from scooting, crawling, stumbling, walking and to eventually running. We maybe uncoordinated for a while but eventually some form will kick in if you have a mentor around to coach us along the way.

Be safe out here.

A little adds up.

The older I get the more I learn about money. I was taught that you had to work hard to get it and that it doesn’t come easy. Most of that framework came from many sources in my community. The real game is how much time are you putting in to learn about it. Some of us weren’t taught the value of trades relationships trust and juys being a good human. We live in a world where its eat or be eaten theoretically speaking. Its me against the world. Its doesn’t have to be that way. I you’ll have noticed there are plenty of people making a great living doing what they love. What most don’t pay attention is the time it took them to develop what they needed to be successful. Anything worth having isn’t easy to obtain. Building a community of trust around many subjects is key. Find something you like or love and have experience in that could help someone else. We have to escape our comfort zones to be better and level up! Also come through and see how $20 can turn into a $1200 investment into your personal portfolio.

What is life?

This is a never ending question to most of us. The struggle to stay above water. Making life decisions over rather to fill up your gas tank or how the family will eat for the week. Am I enjoying life or just mucking through it? What’s worth living for and and what do we need to do to make living life noteworthy? Make those decisions with the people you love and or ones who have your best interest in heart. Have a great day moving forward with purpose and love!
