Listen, im a third generation union ironworker. I did well. Im retired. The problem is greedy owners and insurace companies. Runs the cost up, in the mean time the mens bodies are destroyed. Must be a fair wage for skill....its not a labor shortage...
We're electricians and between my dad, my brother, and I, we have 154 years in the IBEW. We had good lives. Met good people, been a lot of places, learned a lot of things. And, you're right. It's hard on the body --- knees, back, hands. But, it was good, hard, honest work. And, we've got a decent pension. I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
@@imdeplorable2241 I gave my back and my leg to the NJATC and I ended up in the hospital without insurance instead of graduating. Those who haven't lived it wouldn't believe it. I had no family in there I just studied and qualified for the aptitude exams. Over 7000 hours in my four years committing my life to it. Can you guess which instructor said 'We can thank Obama for losing our health insurance'? Help me not be mad about it for the rest of my life.
My first back surgery was before 35. Snapped vertebra from wear and tear from being an electrician. That’s even being IBEW and having guys around who cared about safety for real.
@@ordo_draigo_assault_ham My spine popped out of place in three places while shouldering rigid conduit up to a hospital. The apprenticeship lost insurance. I had to call the attorney general because the foreman never turned in the accident report. He could of cared less about me or the last two apprentices who got hurt lifting for him. I pray to god that I don't let my hatred for that foreman ruin me any further. He didn't like the apprenticeship or the union and that's who they send me to work with? It will never make sense to me. I was 29 and that scum bag set me up to be broken. He can go to hell!
The world is gradually moving out of the I work for my boss era, and people who choose to be entrepreneurs are highly securing a brighter future for themselves..
I have welded all my life, close to retirement. Did drive truck for 13 years. Always able to find work, but the trades are hard on the body. Standing on concrete the worse
Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market.
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.
I require suggestions on how to restore my portfolio and create more effective strategies in light of the huge declines. Where can I locate this instructor?
Stacy Lynn Staples is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I am going to look her up, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.
I work with lots of the trades and most of the guys easily clear 125K+. Electricians, millwrights, HVAC and construction. And we all have a great time building and moving things. Not many Demorats in this crowd either.
@@HappyGermanShepherd-xi5sq Bigger cities pay well. Small towns and rural America don't. Unless you own the company. Most small town, rural American's can't afford the cost of those repairs, whether it be carpentry, electrical, auto repair, concrete/masonry, etc... they would just go without.
@@HappyGermanShepherd-xi5sq Union tradesmen do. Learn about prevailing wage jobs also. Don't speak on something you consider to be facts, without getting all the facts. Look up wages in like NYC, San Francisco, etc...they always pay more because cost of living is higher. Skilled trade jobs often require overtime which boosts their income. Trade apprentices may not make $125k a year, but with journeymen, it is absolutely possible. I didn't say "EVERYONE" makes that kind of money, but some do. And you don't have to be the owner to make it. Is a union painter going to make as much as a union heavy equipment operator? I don't think so... But for you to say "no one makes $125yr unless you are the owner" in the skilled trade field, is a false statement. A Journeyman painter in New York makes $52.86 an hour with benefits added in. That's $110k a year with no overtime. You rarely see a painter not have overtime for the week. Wouldn't take much overtime to push that over $125k a year @ $78.99/hr in overtime ( 1 1/2 x pay).
When large private equity firms take over a business, the overall quality often declines. These firms are primarily focused on maximizing profits, viewing the business through a financial lens rather than with the care and attention of an owner-operated company. Unlike quick-win promises, you won’t become a millionaire overnight either. Private equity firms usually target businesses with long-time owners who are nearing retirement, individuals who have spent years building their companies. They aren’t typically interested in startups or businesses that have only been around for a few months.
Agreed.. also they can consolidate their overhead and improve their buying power.. hell, I’d have sold my electrical company but ended up selling to an employee that I knew could handle it
Well explain thank you for bringing up this video Financial education is indeed required for more than 80% of the society in the country as very few are literate on the subject. Regardless of how bad in the economy I still make 90k from my investment of 12k Thanks to Scott Norah for her helpful guides
Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.
The professionals presently control the market since they not only have the essential business strategy but also have access to inside information that the general public is not aware of.
The issue is most people have the “I will do it myself mentality” but not skilled enough. Ideally, advisors are perfect reps for investing jobs and at first-hand experience, my portfolio has yielded over 350%, since covid-outbreak to date, summing up nearly $1m.

I am from Miami United State🇺🇸, The difference Mrs Lucy Mary Liam makes in my life is second to none it's definitely a life changing kindness. I really appreciate her effort in my life.
Seeing my broker talked on RU-vid, This was exactly how I got the recommendation about her for the past years. Hit $200k today. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with $20k in July 2024
Her good strategies of making large amount weekly profits for her clients are totally outstanding. Investing my $1500 with doubt and withdrawing $12,300 with happiness. I ❤️ you Lucy.
I’m a 30-year chemical engineer that worked for public companies my whole whole career. I wish I would have started an HVAC company out of college. I would have retired early.
Hit 310k last week, lost over 14k today, Nvidia won't make a good run too the upside till mid October...I'm still looking for companies to make additions to my $500K portfolio, to boost performance. Here for ideas...
I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000
i'm blown away! mind sharing more info please? i am a young adult living in Miami where i've encountered several millionaires, and my goal is to become one as well
Absolutely, i love watching "titans of cnc " RU-vid channel, they've got to be a top tier machine shop in America, they make space craft and aircraft parts no one else can make, their top cnc programmers and machinists are making well over a 100k a year, Titan Gilroy ceo is mister innovation even their restrooms are innovative
Some of the trade businesses double or even triple every year in size. I had a boss that started with 50,000 and 5 years later he sold his part of the company for 5 million.
@@bondjovi4595 Women are hypergamous, meaning they marry up; most of the time it's money. Go marry a waitress and if she's half way attractive, she'll look for someone that makes more money than the plumber. That is what feminism and the Left tells them to do. So, blue collar guys better make good dough; otherwise, they'll can look forward to stay at home fatties or a life of loneliness.
Use to be my wife is white collar and I own a Transportation business and make more then her... The reason why white collar america cap you out sometimes.. These days is not so much what you do ,but how much can you make and what lifestyle can you afford... People are waking up about the bull there where sold!!
Don’t work for a company go to a union if you want pension annuity healthcare. You have to be out of your mind to work for a company for $20-30 bucks an hour.
Big change is when they do not allow stock for service trades that are on call 23/7! Good luck getting parts in the middle of the night in the worst weather. Been in skilled trades for over 34yrs and today it’s all different now.
it is not that we have a shortage of workers as he states. It is everything media parents (oftentimes) saying they gotta get aa college degree. It is no wonder we in the US have a low child birth rate . Get out of college with thousands in debt and certainly no chance of starting a family . Forget college get a job in the trades and start a family.
We need people to do repairs and keep the world working. This needs to be taught in HS so when they graduate they have a trade to jump into. I hope this really takes off. No more woke college.
!!!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market.
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $100k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analyzing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted based on thorough research and years of practical experience.
I was a licensed optician by trade for 30 years. I made less than men doing the same job...I never was able to support just myself. Things need to change for ths trades.
Screw your trade school. 38 years electrician. Called apprenticeship. We didnt want to go to school. That's why people quit the trades. Let the master teach the apprentice.
Something doesn't seem right with this video... I've done the trades before and it is certainly not as glamorous as presented here. It's not ok to make a video like this focusing on the anomalies. I was thinking of being an electrician next if I do another hands on job again but I'm afraid they're still not tempting me well for some reason, here I am, come hire me...
Finally Tradeschools. Been telling Foxnews within 7 years ago. Niice. New in-house team, tradeschools. Reading about career field and getting elected into Companies who needs bodies. Amazement. Faster higher salary by certifications.
I had an instructor tell me I wasn't related to my stepfather and that was an issue. I thought it was a thing of the past. All my sacrifices and hazing I endured. I knew journeyman who tried to commit suicide over some of the sabotage. I had to talk one of them out of it before I even got near the end of my apprenticeship. I should of realized then that it could get very bad and for some reason I still thought it was just a test until I ended up in the hospital. If you are an apprentice and you wake up in some private doctors house, get some kind of medical receipt you were there.
im a painter in a small business were fair wont overcharge and get paid when job is satisfactory to customer and don't even have advertising been doing well for about 10 years but were starting to get pushed out by immigrants willing to work for way less also with general inflation its hard making any kind of living now
Part of the reason utilities is up so much this year…. It will wipe out small businesses and will bring about standardization and efficiency in the industry. Aka maximize shareholder profits. Ai could b a force in the industry. This same cycle just infected the insurance industry. I expect a crash and then bloom of small insurance companies to come back out of it
AI is just something else to pay for. Like privatization, speculation on pork bellies, ammonia on ground meat, seven brokers before you get milk, produce etc. Nah, added expense not needed. Thank you.
Colleges, helps reduce n separate workers and hands on. From book knowledge. 4 years school turns into 2 more years, and 2 more years??. Now we totally can't get elected by New students.... n difficulty, career started. Same hypeman before college to long wait to career to be hype. Owwch
We need bodies. We don't know where or which layer of fields.... and now were split by seasons. Half summer, have rainstorm n snow. Cold n heat. N state territory. Desert or woods. Cant sell hamburgers in a hotdogs city or in a BBQ Pulled Pork, town.
naw the wages in the past didnt incentivize people to go into these professions. theyre better now and id bet over the next 10 years we'll see a lot more people move into these trades.
Why did I join and serve? Why did I go to college. My ex felon brother in law went to prison while I went to Iraq and now he owns 3 homes and I rent one from him. Lol why did I listen to my country? Why did I follow the rules?
If not union do not get in. Not going to make no money. There are so many other jobs out there that pay so much more. Just on a computer. Nursing, coding, work from home job, the HR people in the office and office people in the job site make more then workers on the field. People look down on that. Never want to give a raise. Even if everything is going up. Your body take a big toll. In a office job start from bottom and work your way up your body well thank you in long run
lol. The guy is a millionaire and these three jokers begging for low interest rates. I became a millionaire retire age of 30 yr and I have CP. So I laugh at these people begging for low rates especially wall st

Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
The truth is that this is really not as difficult as many people presume it to be. It requires a certain level of diligence, no doubt, which is something ordinary investors lack, and so a financial advisor often comes in very handy. My friend just pulled in more than $84k last month alone from his investment with his advisor. That is how people are able to make such huge profits in the market.
The process of trading can be complicated when you have limited knowledge. However, with the right strategy and setups, you can be successful. That's the whole point of investing
