Hello, It's been a while. For some time I have been following a YouTube channel, called Lion of Judah. It is a Christian Channel. When my brother died in hospice after 2 years of struggling with end stage COPD I was comforted...

Jeff Moffitt Anthony, my condolences to you and your family for your losses. And although losing people you loved and cared for greatly is not news of joy, it did lead you back to your spiritual faith, and that my friend is news of joy. Pain, suffering and death are all...

Neither one of my parents ever really wanted anything for Christmas. I mean, if anything, they would have enjoyed books, but they had plenty of those. Our church happens to be close to a Christian college, so we’d always get...

Anish Asokan You got the answer right - the listening part but there is more to it. Most poor think that the advices are for the greater benefit of the rich than for the poor (even if there is no truth in that statement). Second , they are skeptical to take actions. What...

Jim Bauer A lot of rich people I know gladly share at least their ideas about the basic ways to save and invest. And actually, most rich people actually gain no benefit at all if the people they want to sell things to are poor and can't afford what they are selling. The...

Kandase In my view a lot of the rich actually do not share their secrets. Then you have the percentage of rich who are that way because of inheritance or shady dealings.

Angie People DO NOT want to give up buying.... The new phones every year, the new cars, etc. people want wealth to be instant. Today's society is NOW! I'm not wealthy by any means but I'm not poor either, it's takes years of discipline, and I'm guilty of the...

Valerie J. Routhieaux I employed a principle you gave last year about putting an amount into PayPal every month. It helped a lot. I saw income I didn't realize I had. I will continue to do that.

LK2018 It's hard to save money, when there's needed spending you got to spending. But then when you get the chance to loan you take it. Ends up paying more from the loan.

Kayla Tsukino I see poorness and porvity as a cycle. A lot of people believe they can't get out of it. Even when you spell out what to do, there's going be someone tought to believe, 'I can't do that' I don't have enough money to put aside. Another argument I often hear is...

Jim Bauer @LindaOHio One of my aunts was always a "live for the day" kind of a mentality. What I tried to explain to her over and over again was that you can do BOTH. And in fact, if you save and invest, you can live BETTER in the day because you would have more money...

Jim Bauer You're so right about that. Your situation is a perfect example of the importance of saving and investing, even if in the end the money has to go to things like long term care. All sorts of things can happen that even when we do save and invest, it can all be...

LindaOH @porwest Some people don't think enough about the future. I don't care how young you are, you have to think about retirement. Until this rehab stuff came up, we were very comfortable.

Jeff Moffitt I agree for the most part, but I will say that for many a disability or prolonged illness may have sidelined them and put them in serious debt that they are struggling to get out of. But that aside, there’s no reason why people can’t take steps to at least...

Jim Bauer I think everyone WANTS more money. But I agree that the last part of your answer is right. I think about so many people who get these ideas; I'll do some surveys. I'll sell on Etsy or eBay. I'll do crafts. I'll drive for Uber. None of these things REALLY make...
