    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Ok, no problem! I don’t have to and I don’t need to convince you or sell you anything. To be honest, keeping up with this thread kept me busier than checking my portfolio this month. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of any help. Cheers!

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Probably what you are missing is that nothing is 100% passive, hands-off, brain-off, live-like-a-king without any effort or risk. And you consider 99% of the above not enough. Probably the Paychek Pot lifestyle is not for you. Not yet, at least. My advice is to keep on working and earning...

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I'm not sure if you understand completely the purpose of a Paycheck Pot. The dividends are not a "psychological relief" when the market crashes (because it will, we all know, it always did and will always do). The dividends are meant to SUBSTITUTE the income generated by your active, full time...

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Oh, and while you wait to decide what to do, there's nothing wrong sitting on a pile of cash! If your expenses are 100% in US Dollars, you can simply buy a ladder of short term T-Bills and earn a 2.something% per year with very low risk! I would do 25% cash, 25% 1-month t-bill, 25% 2- month...

    Living Unscripted - Handling millions harder than making them?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I can tell you about my personal experience. Then you can judge if the path I took suits you or not. I used to have my own business. The profit it generated were much higher than my and my family's expenses, so it allowed us to accumulate a lot of capital. It came at a cost. 10 to 14 hours a...

    Post Your Stock Picks: Massive Growth, Dividend, or Other!

    INVESTING 
    I drive a Tesla (my second one) and love it, but I own no shares. I only invest for income and Tesla is far from that at this time. It might turn out a big hit in the next 10 years, if they survive. It’s a “make it or break it” situation in my opinion.

    MONEY SYSTEM - after the exit from several $million Amazon Business

    HOT! INVESTING FTE 
    @Scott Fleming Take your time buddy! When I sold my company, I waited for 1 year and 5 months before making my first investment. I interviewed many wealth managers and spoke to a lot of wealthy people. Nothing useful came up. So I started searching for a strategy and realized that there’s...

    Emergency Fund, Do You Have One?

    MINDSET 
    I like to have a cash reserve of at least 12 months of expenses in my checking account. This is in addition to MJ’s Snap rule. Even before that, I like to have insurance for all the risks I can’t or don’t want to afford (personal liabilities, car insurance, health and long term care, etc.). I...

    Lifetime passive income: The Paycheck Pot In Action

    GOLD! HOT! INVESTING 
    Hi everyone! My strategy is much more passive and much more similar to the one described in Unscripted. I allocated a large sum to a dividend portfolio. I'm picking 3 companies for each of the 11 sectors/indiustries, for a total of 33 companies. Basically, I own a tiny fraction of 33...

    Implementing a money system from scratch in 2018

    MTF thank you for your message! Your approach is exactly what I have in mind! Great to know you've just started on the same path! So you are buying every month the best companies that qualify after your rule-based screening. That's a very similar approach to the one suggested in the Sure...

    Implementing a money system from scratch in 2018

    I haven’t it all figured out yet, but I think there should be no problem to operate in the US financial market or to apply the same principles to the Swiss or European markets. The only additional thing I must consider is that my expenses are almost exclusively in CHF or EUR, so currency...
