Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?

Antonio JAlex is my trade analyst, he has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.

I started working with Antonio Alex back in June, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.

I know him, he is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, he's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT

Money buys me peace of mind as a newly retired couple starting to finally break into a large nest egg of decades of savings and investments.

It may not buy happiness, but I’m sure it takes the sting out of being miserable.

Some people are used to it.

Money can buy freedom I think...

Money absolutely does buy happiness. That isn't to say you can't have money and be unhappy....but that is all up to your decisions. You have the money to buy happiness but have instead opted to spend it on something else.

Yep. There aren't many options for this couple. Yet they're still better off than many, many people in the U.S.

​@roadrunner9622 I am in a similar situation. She has enough to pay off the house. They should be able to live off their combined social security checks. Then, any part time job can go to savings.

HEY, watch that , I cleaned toilets and honestly got paid for it. 😂 NOW seriously the reality for many of us oldsters is that those who while young were able to by into the American dreams of owning a house, cars, a family, eating out, partying expensive clothing; forgot to set aside some cash reserves and additional retirement plans for those same reasons their in now. - during those early years when we had the youth and vitality we never seriously took into consideration aging much less illness or life diminishing injuries or mental discapacity. In this skit I do agree that some of the suggestions were acceptable, but at their ages and limited knowledge of the real estate market, one suggestion would be to review their living status better - and possibly rent the house and live in the ground floor apartment rent free - if that were possible.. Review whatever else you own that s not being used and find Buyers for them. Or rent out the house and rent a small apartment. Because with the newfound large savings from the sale of the house, the couple might possibly continue to live according to how "it was then," and soon would end up broke and lose the co-op which is much more difficult to get rid of than the house. Also this couple is eligible for government assistance in the form of groceries assistance, electric companies give credits and lowered power bills. The first thing I would recommend is to gather ALL of their important personal papers, house title, Insurance, heating bills, electric bills, medical bills, BC, marriage certificate, ALL records: PHOTOGRAPH them, then go bright and early down to the nearest social services administration and ask for help - these fine knowledgeable employees will do what they can BUT most importantly, they are like a human "encyclopedia" - they will make many suggestions worth exploring. The most important steps are to go in search of help QUICKLY - not wait until you're caught between a rock and a hard place. Just sayin.' Be Blessed y'all 🙏 🙏 🙏

Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.

This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than a million dollars by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

I definitely share your sentiment about these firms. Finding financial advisors like Natalie Noel Burns who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.

Find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. I have found it takes someone who is very familiar with the market to make such good picks.

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance

It's best to seek an advisor right now, unless you're canny yourself. As a business owner in both the service industry and eBay reseller of all product categories, I can tell you we’re in a deep recession and everyone is running out of money.

I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day invst decisions being guided by a invst-advisor, seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using a invst-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over $900K.

Dude, spot on advice. Great job! And yeah, I think we investors overestimate how hard it is to stay in the market when things aren't looking too good. Whenever I'm tempted to either cut losses or capture profits, I remind myself of Fidelity's study of their best performing portfolios; the best performers were either dead or forgot they had an account.

Exactly what happened to my grandmother. She told me she had to fight with veterans administration for her to keep 50% of the benefits.

@@MNcoquicoquiwow! I’m an Army Veteran and didn’t know that retired veterans pension ends for their spouse when they pass away!

I wonder if my brother who is a retired veteran is aware of this? 🤔

@muniondalenewyurk6777 ITS awful. My grandmother had to jump through hoops just to fight for some benefits. She only had enough money to pay the light, water and food AND THATS IT. Nothing luxurious. No traveling. NOTHING. JUST BARE ESSENTIALS. EXTREMELY BARE. My grandfather was a Korean War vet.

I'm retired military as well, 24 years also. Apparently, your grandfather didn't sign up for the Survivor's Benefit. Upon retiring from the military, the personnel office offers this to the retiree. The retiree agrees to have an amount (less than 10%) withdrawn from his retirement to fund the Survivor's Benefit. When the service member dies, the surviving spouses will receive half of the retirement that the military retiree was receiving.

Taylor: That is wonderful advice. I have family members in a similar situation.

Indeed, that's accurate. I'm currently in my mid-50s. My husband and I were on a similar path until a couple of years ago when I decided to shift my investments to his wealth manager. While I haven't quite caught up to his accumulated profits over the years, I'm at least earning more now. I'm generating income even before retirement, and my retirement fund has experienced remarkable growth compared to what it would have with just the 401(k). It's quite amusing.

It's regrettable that many individuals lack access to such insights. I understand why people might become anxious. Insufficient information can indeed pose significant challenges. Personally, I've been able to generate over $25k passively simply by investing through an advisor, and the best part is, I don't need to exert much effort. Regardless of economic fluctuations, skilled wealth managers consistently deliver returns.

If you have no debt, but not a lot of retirement you do need to relax a bit and not be so stingy. :) If you are doing all the right things financially but still not able to make ends meet, you need to either find a better paying job asap or take on a second job.

Why do they need to go into a condo? He did NOT ask what mortgage pmts are conpared to condo pmts

Excellent

Good going,nice move.all the best

Glad you did yourself that favor. As you heard here, there will come a day, that we just can't work anymore. You want to be prepared with enough cash and to get you by and make due if that day should come.

@@waterheaterservices Agreed.

Smart move.

If they live in the city, moving out aways while downsizing their house to another house (without HOAs) would help.

Plus they can't afford to move.

It's never a good thing to move people in their 70s anywhere.

Sure dont want to live in an apartment or mobile home park. Those rents and lot fees always go up, and up, and up.

Deep South might be cheaper but no state near a metro area

Start saving now even only a little out of each paycheck and don’t touch it til retirement. Wish I had done that at 19.

Watch it carefully.... hundreds of thousands of seniors are in these shoes. Thank God you can get a job if you want one.

And here is me, living in Europe figuring out how to "go retired" before I am 50....I can't belive how tough is living in US

Buckle up kid, it's going to be a bumpy ride 🤣🤣🤣

@@dianenotch2471 Me too. But I got out of all debt in my early 40’s. No mortgage, no credit cards, no any debt !!! 👍🏻😂

Because maybe they didn't count pennies at 50 or 60

@@Columbus1152 or even 20 and 30..

this is the future for all of us.

@@Mike-qc8xd Doesn't have to be

@@Columbus1152 Exactly. Some advance planning early in life means you're stacking money and living large in retirement. If you've done things like pay off all your debts (including mortgage) when young, you can live very well.

Save n invest Bro.

It's not that hard. Just buy a house in 1998.

@@markusParkus233 and in 2050 people will be saying should've bought a house in 2024...

I started saving late in my mid 40's mainly just in case I got old. Well I got old. If I had it to do again I would waste less when I was younger and invest more early on to take advantage of compounding. I think I'm ok but I don't take it for granted I still live on a budget.

It's not all bad decisions that lead to these situations. I worked hard, had a six-figure job, savings, retirement/investment accounts, and equity in my house. That got wiped out in the 2008 recession when I was in my late 40s. No discipline in the world would have changed that.

Understand your options when it comes to retirement savings accounts and investments.

Calculate your net worth on a regular basis to see if you're on track for retirement. Work with a financial professional if you need help or advice.

Who are you working with ? Been trying to get my feet on it.

TAMARA DIANE HAGAN does a good job for me. Look her up on the web.

Thank you. found her profile and will be sending a message.

They Don't want to admit how poor they are.

Wow! You are absolutely right. Plain and simple.

Said that at the beginning of her story, sell the house and all unnecessary encumbrances (like a roadster), pay off debt, buy smaller place (don't rent) and live modestly. This is doable. There won't be much of the retirement activities they imagined but could be worse.

They are not that bad off, whats the big deal. They have like pretty low debt. Get rid of the cars buy something super cheap. Sell the house. Enjoy the next 20 years before u die

Tell us we’re is affordable no place for seniors

She'd have to find a condo without an HOA.

That’s exactly why the system is the way it is.

I've done budget counseling for adults through my church in an affluent, small city. Most of them were not able to grasp the concepts involved, much less find the discipline for maintenance. Therefore, IMO, we can't teach this in K-12. The kids would think it's too difficult, complain to the parents and the parents, who can't grasp it either, would insist it not be taught. Perhaps in a better educated country this would work, but not in the U.S. To be fair, I did have limited success. One couple, a master's in education, another couple, an engineer, and a third was in IT. Obviously, these are well-educated people.

Basic finances doesn't require more than being able to add, subtract and calculate percentages, so people do learn all that is needed early on. The problem is that people have no self control and care more about instant gratification than thinking long term. You can't teach that in school. It requires life lessons for that to sink in.

​@@ybergik all due respect but financial literacy is far more than basic arithmetic. Most adults don't even know their house is a liability not an asset, or understand compounding interest, cash flow or budgeting..

@@Jack_all That is just outright wrong. A house is an asset. A mortgage is a liability. But people don't even need to know that. Botton line is if people just made sure to set aside ~20% in savings every paycheck and adjust their spending accordingly, no-one would have any financial problems. But of course that's not how most people do it. They spend it all on "wants" first ("we've earned it!"), pay the bills with whatever is left and then claim they earn too little to put any into savings. It would not matter how much these people earned, it would always be gone before they started considering savings.

If wishes were horses then beggars would ride

@@DisabilityExams ...

So clear and concise because she's reading a script.

They've not planned their lives well at all .. it's sad. At 71, you're meant to have retired already.

@@remmymalone6700 agreed. I kinda wish she went into detail on how this happened. Everyone has a story. I have a friend that made a good living but because of a kid that was addicted to drugs, stole money borrowed money, was enabled and sent to numerous very expensive clinics the parents are in rough shape financially. Sad but sometimes time moves faster then we’d like.

Depending on the children, age, sids risk, childs health and if it is highly active.

You are nice pretty and respectful

My mom says cleaning is easier than watching children

@@dianac6250 I have to agree, but some kids are easier than others.

Omg watching kids is way harder than cleaning!! Of course it depends on the kids.

Mine too 😥

Good news is you have control over this nightmare.

@@teresavict1831 how old are you

How old are you guys

Quentin, we are rooting for her but the reality is , all it takes is one illness and she is back at square one. it is scary as hell . Dios Mio !

Yup. All my family works for UNIONS. We stayed out of the private sector 40 years ago. UNION UNION UNION! WE HAVE PENSIONS

Me, I'm learning and it scared 😨 me, but, I will stay focused on my journey to keeping moving forward.

@@SamuelClemente7718 thank god i stayed with my union job

@@SamuelClemente7718 Nothing is wrong with your thinking but it is not the only way to skin a cat. I work for a private company and I too have a pension. BUT I don't count on it.... that is I made my money REGARDLESS of any pension.

@@johnSmith-uz8nl 401k is not a pension.

They could just move into a condo and retire modestly.

They may get so they can't really work at all. But I think they can make it ok.

This is just scares me to death. So many on this path and don’t want to admit it. This video is a good reminder.

Terrifying.

No widow benefits?

well said.

You are 100% spot on (seriously).

Exactly. Financial literacy is not taught in high school or college really. Why ? Simple. Politicians want control of societies people. AKA the strangle hold.

Hoa fees all a condo is an apartment but with fees it’s a dumb investment

Why do people believe that all people, when they get to a certain age, have to have a care home? Or, any kind of care at all? They fact is, is that most people will never need a care home and are actually quit self sufficient, needing very minimal assistance with ADLs ( activities of daily living )

SS is a ripoff.

Keep it up! You're gonna end up very well off.

Social insecurity is the truth. Its all a ponzi scheme!

God.... with a capital "G". Just saying ! 👍

Good choice you will do great later on in life . Another good choice is real estate buy and double your payments get it paid off it will always hold value and you’ll be mortgage free before retirement

People spend their money when they have it. And when they have more money, some people tend to spend it more. You should speak with a financial expert if you wish to improve your financial management.

ANOTHER SHILL POST FOR SPAM/SCAM. ALWAYS REPORT THESE, FOLKS.

You become a millionaire by having cash when everyone else needs it. Wait for a recession and invest in blue chip stocks when they’re selling for pennies on the dollar. Just invest in safe 1 year CDs until then.

P off African wonga wonga scammers ​@zullard565

@@thejackbox Great advice, just wait until the opportunity knocks. I don't know beans about blue chip stocks, but my knowledge is in real estate. My advice to the the original poster would be to invest in what they have the most knowledge in.

Move her in with u!

yes...and Dave just mowed right over what she was trying to say about HOA fees....! sheesh!

And not only HOA fees but assessments. My mom lives in a condo and the amount assessment fees she has paid over the yers she could have bought a house.

Yessssss. They should pay the house off and then the car and be done.

@@genacunningham1731 Not every condo has high fees and assessments. You have to do your research on the HOA and buy into a lower end development with minimal amenities (keeps maintenance costs lower) and well run management. You can look into the HOA budgets before committing to purchase. Lower cost of living areas are more likely to have affordable condos with low maintenance costs. That’s why he was recommending places like Oklahoma City.

So send her money, it's your mother

Yes. Eating out costs so much!!! Don't over spend!!

Only Rosie O'Donnell can afford to eat out for chrissakes.

Yeah she may know what to do but it’s not up to her it’s up to them(as a couple)

It helps to hear it spelled out. I am taking a class right now in quality engineering. It is all mostly common sense however I will be a better engineer because of having these concepts spelled out.

you shouldnt be eating at 71 you need to be fasting.

I’m in the same boat.

Too bad abrupt climate changes everything

If they move to NYC they have welfare system free cash assistance plus free medical

I’m 50 and in the same boat.

I live in NYC and if you own a house in NYC, you can't get much assistance. Not even if you need a home health aide person.

I get the feeling the kindly elderly person was not saying how they overspent way beyond their means for decades. They are facing a painful financial pinch, which is not the same as financial devastation.

They have a massive house they can sell and buy a condo. What are you talking about?

Yep Don’t understand those people

Medical bills…

they dont sound like they were foolish with money probably didnt make a ton$$$ .. some health problems..... and just dont know how to budget lets face it....... the govt school system doest teach people about money
