This assumption is useful for accounting practices, but it could be overrated in the field of investing. We tend to think that successful companies will be around for a really long time and certainly some companies like this do exist, Johnson and Johnson, General Electric and Coca Cola have all been in business for over 100 years trading as the same company they are today. Even older companies exist if you follow the history of business mergers back to their beginning, JP Morgan Chase is the modern product of several bank mergers over three different centuries with the first constituent bank tracing it’s roots back to 1799. Having early investments in any of these companies would make you a very rich person today, but you would also be a very dead person too, which reduces the appeal of this investing strategy considerably. A recent industry report has found that one of the biggest mistakes that investors make is overvaluing the longevity of a company and its easy to see why with people like warren buffet talking frequently about how much $5 invested into coca cola would be worth today. So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why businesses that last hundreds of years are not always the amazing investment they seem. #business #investing #finance Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group Follow to learn How Money Works.

The home you live in now statistically makes more money than you do and the last hope that a lot of young people have to catch up is getting a house gifted to them by a relative... Which begs the question. What happens to the real estate market when all the boomers… die? There is an old saying that the best time to start investing was 30 years ago, the second-best time is right now. But that conventional wisdom might not hold up in today’s market. Buying a home at the right time could set you and family up for financial security for the rest of your life. The only thing is, the right time was when you were still in school and if you try to buy a home now you will be taking on record high interest rates, record high prices AND record low availability all at the same time… People sell homes for two reasons, because they want to and because they HAVE to. Nobody who already has a home WANTS to sell it because most Americans have been able to lock in record low interest rates. If they sell their house and buy another one, they will get a new mortgage at interest rates which will TRIPPLE their payments on a home of the same value. According to data from the national association of realtors, eighty-seven percent [87%] of new home purchases are made using a mortgage, and the average down payment of a first home buyer is only seven percent [7%]. This means higher mortgage rates are worth avoiding at all costs. A report by the wall street journal found that even when homeowners moved interstate, they would hold on to their homes and rent them out and then rent another house to live in… Everybody that wants to sell their home is waiting for interest rates to fall. Everybody who wants to buy a home is also waiting for interest rates to fall. And everybody who is stuck renting is being forced to compete with people who already own a home but don’t want to sell it because they have locked in a sweet interest rate. The players in the real estate market are in a Mexican standoff, but the renters are stuck fighting with a Banana. The only hope for people who just want to buy a home is to get it off someone who NEEDS to sell. According to another report published by the national association of realtors the average home seller in America was SIXTY!! [60] years old! So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why you probably won’t benefit as much as you are hoping from the boomers passing down their homes… Follow to learn How Money Works.

Your options where finance, medicine, law or senior company management if you were lucky. But then… just a few years later at around about the same time as those people in their fancy suits were blowing up the global economy a new breed of millionaire was entering the mainstream. They replaced the puffer vests and Bloomberg terminals with flip flops and vim terminals… Tech bro’s worked fewer hours, had better perks and in many cases made better money than their peers in more traditional high-income roles… What’s more is that people didn’t hate them… Executives, bankers and their fancy lawyers were rightfully blamed for enriching themselves by leeching off a broken system that cost people their homes, their jobs, and their futures… Meanwhile people loved the idea of hacky sack playing nerds making millions by actually making stuff that improved our lives… But now… 15 years later the tech bros became everything they promised to destroy… and they kind of destroyed themselves in the process… For a while you could have a great degree of confidence in becoming filthy rich by putting in a few years at a major Silicon Valley tech company… but this all relied on a stream of money that wasn’t coming from nowhere… Venture capital, the firms that ACTUALLY invest in early-stage start-ups to develop their new technology NEVER again actually reached the level of financing it did during the dot com bubble. That was… until something changed in 2021… So it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out how Tech Bro’s ruined tech for themselves… Follow to learn How Money Works.

Why Dumb People Earn More Than Smart People | How Money Works

Why Dumb People Earn More Than Smart People ------ Edited By: Andrew Gonzales Music Courtesy of: Epidemic Sound Select Footage Courtesy of: Getty Images For sponsorship inquiries, please contact sponsors@worksmedia.group All materials in these videos are for educational purposes only and fall within the guidelines of fair use. No copyright infringement intended. This video does not provide investment or financial advice of any kind. #business #finance #careers ------ Dumb people make more money than smart people and it took a study conducted by really smart people to prove it. A study out of Sweden has found that top earners have lower intelligence than the people in income levels directly below them. The Plateauing of cognitive ability among top earners drew on data from 59,000 men who had to take a compulsory military conscription aptitude test. It then tracked their earnings over their professional careers to find the relationship between intelligence and income. Before Tai Lopez gets any ideas for more shitty YouTube commercials or the hustle bros learn how to read journal articles and use this to encourage people to drop out of college, I want you all to know how this data really works. The relationship between intelligence and income was strong, smarter people earnt more money but only up to six hundred and seventy thousand Swedish krona or sixty-four thousand dollars per year. After that intelligence didn’t mean much anymore and at the very top end of income earners, the 1%, dumber people actually did better. So is this a sign that watching TikTok and reality TV is actually better for your career than going to college? Well maybe actually, for two important reasons but there are also two reasons why you should probably ignore this and keep studying hard if you want to get ahead financially. Reason number one why dumb people are doing better than smart people is that smart people fill in high prestige jobs that don’t have high salaries. Academics and research scientists are some of the smartest people in the world, but they don’t get paid well. Doctors, lawyers and elite financiers also need to be very smart to get through demanding schooling and admission exams and these professionals ARE typically compensated very competitively BUT most of them don’t make it all the way into the 1%. In the USA to be in the top 1% of income earners an individual needs to make at least five hundred and ninety-seven thousand dollars before tax and that’s just the minimum to join the 1% club. so it’s time to learn How Money Works to find out why dumb people are earning more than smart people and why this trend is completely meaningless for your own career planning.
