Diversification is for people who don't know what they are doing. (Buffett said it, not me). If you are young, concentration builds wealth. Diversification preserves it. Agree or disagree? #WarrenBuffett #InvestmentStrategy #RiskManagement

Stop listening to your parents about money. They lived in an economy where you could pay for college with a summer job and buy a house for $30k. The rules have changed. The strategy must change. #GenZ #Millennials #Economy #HousingMarket

"Passive Income" is a lie sold by people selling courses. Dividends are passive. Real estate is a part-time job. Side hustles are a second job. Know the difference before you start. #PassiveIncome #SideHustles #RealTalk #Entrepreneurship

Credit cards are not evil. If you use a debit card, you are losing 2-3% cash back on every purchase. You are paying a "financial illiteracy tax." Pay it off in full every month and take the free money. #CreditCards #TravelHacking #SmartSpending #CashBack

Crypto isn't "investing." It's speculation. There is a place for it in your portfolio (5%). But if your retirement plan relies on a meme coin going to the moon, you’re not an investor. You’re a gambler. #Crypto #Bitcoin #InvestingVsGambling #Risk

Your 401k match is not "free money." It’s part of your salary held hostage until you comply. Take the match, but don't worship the system. #401k #CorporateLife #Retirement #Workplace

Buying a house is not an investment. It’s a liability that you live in. • Property taxes • Maintenance • Interest Rent where you live. Invest the difference. Who’s with me? #RealEstate #HomeOwnership #RentVsBuy #UnpopularOpinion

I turned $0 into a six-figure portfolio. It wasn't crypto. It wasn't luck. It was a system. Here is the step-by-step automation system I use to invest without thinking: 🧵👇#AutomatedInvesting #MoneySystem #FinTwit 🧵

The best investment you can make has nothing to do with the stock market. It’s increasing your income. • Learn to sell. • Learn to code. • Learn to write. You can frugal your way to security, but you must earn your way to freedom. #CareerAdvice #SideHustle #HighIncomeSkills #SelfGrowth

Debt is borrowing from your future self to pay for your current self. Investing is paying your current self to fund your future self. Choose which version of you you want to prioritize. #DebtFree #FutureSelf #FinancialPlanning

"I'll start investing when I have more money." Lie. You start investing to get more money. Even $50 a month builds the muscle. You don't wait to get in shape to go to the gym. #JustStart #InvestingForBeginners #CompoundEffect

If you can't manage $1,000, you can't manage $1,000,000. Lottery winners go broke because money amplifies who you already are. Fix your habits first. The zeros come later. #MoneyMindset #FinancialDiscipline #SmartMoney

Your salary makes you rich. Your spending habits make you wealthy. You can earn $500k a year and be broke if you spend $501k. Lifestyle creep is the enemy. #Budgeting #FrugalLiving #PersonalFinance

The 3 stages of financial freedom:
1. You don't look at the price tag for groceries.
2. You don't look at the price tag for travel.
3. You don't look at the price tag for time. Most people stop at stage 1. Keep going.

Being rich is having money. Being wealthy is having time. Don't confuse the two. The goal of investing isn't a Lamborghini. It's waking up and saying, "I can do whatever I want today." #FinancialFreedom #WealthMindset #MoneyManagement

Fees are the silent killer of wealth. Fund A: 1% expense ratio. Fund B: 0.03% expense ratio. Over 30 years, Fund A steals 25% of your potential wealth. Check your expense ratios today. If it's over 0.10%, you better have a good reason. #Vanguard #FinancialLiteracy #LowCostInvesting #ETFs
