These days the internet is filled with so called "money guru's" showing off their wealth on social media and trying to teach you how to become richBut one major issue with that is..WHY would they wanna do that. IF they are rich from forex trading or whatever, why in the world would they wanna spread the wordThey are making money on people who buy their "courses" to become rich, not from tradingPlease, don't fall for this bs! You are worth so much more :cat_hug_triangle:

@stux I happen to encounter a patronising kind of such gurus. You know, the ones who berate the others for their hobbies."I earn CEO-grade salary every day while you waste your life painting figurines."

@stux also true of almost any kind of conventional financial advisor / stock-picker / columnist. Like Fox "News", they are entertainment designed to separate people from their money.

@stux Not to mention that "teaching" a way to get rich distracts from the factors of luck and inheritance.

@stux yeah I get really strange ads on youtube from middle age badly dressed unhealthy looking ppl in front of a small yacht or house advertising how they got rich and they can teach it and it is so sad.

@stux This reminds me of a story someone posted on how much money they make from a DIY car wash she bought. Seller-financed and only takes her a few hours a week to keep it running and her huge profits. But no mention of setting side money for future repair costs. She might be doing OK but what are profits after the inevitable repair/replacement costs.And not everyone can find someone selling a profitable business and willing to finance the sale that provides passive income.

@stux If a person really did find some infinite money glitch, would they really tell you their secret?Something to think about next time you see a self-proclaimed millionaire that only wants to "help" you.

@stux What I see are people who claim they made HUGE profits on small investments - which doesn't happen without crime - and I report and block them and whoever they're shilling for.

@stux Indeed. Billionaires don't support certain politicians because it will make MORE billionaires. They support them to get laws that will get them MORE $$ and results in LESS entering the club.

@stux Wise words!They could also benefit from people making uninformed mistakes with trading, so it is best to learn the ins & outs and benefits vs. risks from informative, neutral sources before embarking on such an adventure!

@stux but of course. When everyone is digging for gold, the best way to get rich is to sell shovels and pickaxes. When everyone is wanting to get rich doing nothing, the best way to get rich is selling them courses on how to get rich doing nothing...
