Creepy Advisor: Invest in Magic or Ladies of the night? 

Pink Visor means Rudy's not f'n around. This is serious yo! 😆

We ALWAYS have a large, hard Phyrexian Tower for Rudy. Memes aside: seriously, Rudy, thank you for your time to help Timmies like me realize everything needed to truly become successful.

32 Year old with a house, retirement plan in order... Oh, that dream life I had when I was 15

I don't comment on these videos too often but I just wanted to thank you for making this video and for that speech about preparing for the future. I turned 20 years old two days ago and recently got a part time job working at my local Autozone selling car parts and accessories. It's not glamorous or sexy by any means but it is a stepping stone for me to get to the next part of the plan that I am setting up for myself over the next 5 years. The speech you gave near the end of the video about needing to decide between being the guy who lives a glamorous life in the short term, burning through all your money and paying the price for the rest of your life, or being the boring guy for next 10-15 years but enjoying the later years of your life really spoke to me because as me and my friends are getting older, I am starting to notice this shift in our life goals and decisions. For me personally, I would much rather be the boring guy for the next couple years doing the right thing and preparing for the future. However, my friends and other people my age don't seem to care that much about thinking long term and have no idea where they would like to be in the next 5 years let alone the next 50 years. I don't look down on them or judge them for thinking that way, it's just interesting to me how quickly our lives are diverging away from each other just after leaving high school. Anyways, sorry I'm rambling at this point. Just wanted to say thank you for making this video and thank you for continuing to make the content that you do. In my opinion, no matter what anyone says, Alpha Investments is such a unique and important part of the Magic community as well as the Investor/Collector community at large. Whether it's patreon booster box openings or creepy Rudy with the pink visor talking about tacos in his basement, I truly love and appreciate everything that you do. Hope you have a great day/evening! :) -Artis Alston

" Yugioh still exists which makes me sad " hahahahhha legend

"Nobody wants to be stressed being a Wal-Mart greeter or working fast food when they're 60, 70, 80 years old..." Don't have to be stressed about that if you don't live that long.

“That boy can sang”

No one: Rudy: Why do I invest? So I can sit in a lawn chair in my pink visor yelling at cars

Watched until the end ♥️. These videos are amazing Rudy. Your box openings are entertaining but just the knowledge you bring in areas like this is golden for many people.

Getting the Soul Glo reference makes me feel old.

Please make more videos like this Rudy. I really do appreciate them. No one has ever talked to me about this stuff and I want to know as much as I can so when I do get older I can enjoy life. Thank you again sir.

Here to give you a nice, long, hard Phyrexian Tower, Rudy. Enjoyed the video. I love listening to these serious topics. One of the videos you did where you mentioned that paychecks are a limited income and you only get so many in your life really stuck with me. It was one of those things I couldn't shake out of my head. Eventually, it led to me quitting my crappy retail job where my boss didn't treat me right. He kept giving me the shit shift where I'd be working night shift and then coming back in 6 hours later for midday shift. I had been talking about going to college since at least May of last year. Before I knew it, it was November and really had been 6 months since I even opened my FAFSA. I will be attending college in less than 2 weeks. I have another crappy retail job, but I have a different boss and am lucky in that I have a support network to help me and my cost to attend is incredibly low for the first couple of semesters. Your words sat in my ear like a worm and it did subtly change how I view things. Thank you for making these videos, even if they cover a boring topic.

For the fortune you have youre really humble I can honestly feel the passion when you talk and honestly the world needs more Rudys

This has to be one of my favorite videos you have made. I think you should do more of these types of videos.

Nice hard phyrexian tower. That t-shirt brought back memories. :D Thanks Rudy! Also, I really enjoy your videos!

Seriously, I didn't know what I expected from this perticular video while laying in bed waiting to go to sleep. I enjoyed your honest take on the reality of the whole situation with regards to various aspects and differences which could alter the whole out come. And all of that rounded up in a really honest life lesson like ending which just fitted incredibly well. Thank you and your pink hat, this was truly amazing!

If Rudy participated in the marshmallow experiment about delaying gratification as a child, he'd still have the marshmallows in his Phyrexian towers today.

Just wanted to say hey Rudy. Thanks for your videos I genuinely get excited to see new content. Keep at it dood!

He’s probably spending all his money on $3 energy drinks, $6 coffees and cracking $4 packs from Walmart

I learn so much from these kinds of videos. You have had a huge impact on my life from all the knowledge you’ve shared in these kinds of videos. Please keep sharing your knowledge with the world, professor Rudy! 😊

Large heart phyrexian tower :) great work! I mostly lurk, but I love these long podcast-ish videos!

Large hard Phyrexian tower. I really like the seriee, hope you can do more with more Patton's situations.

This was a fun playlist that you recommend a couple of days ago, worth the watch!

Person clearly has more than 6 months of expenses in liquidity. Max out the 403(b) to the yearly limit (not the match), max out the IRA, and increase the principal paydown on the primary residence and chop off the 5.5% hanger. With all of that, the person should be free and financially clear and independent in less than 2 years with the opportunity to more heavily invest in broad stock market indices or Arabian Nights Desert buy-outs.

There's the Ad-visor again! Keep it up, Rudy! Thanks for the entertaining delivery of good info!

Great video. Thank you Rudy!

Love these videos. Keep them comming Rudy!

Thanks Rudy, always appreciate these videos and they help keep me on a decent track.

Just started watching this and this is Perfect for me some numbers. Thanks Rudy and Sam!

Large Hard Phyrexian Tower!! Love the long-form finance-focus videos every now and again :)

Always motivating to see these kind of videos from you Rudy. Thanks

Liked and subscribed because of this video. Clicked for the hilarious title but I stayed for your genuine and passionate life advice. It’s clear you really do want the best for people. I haven’t really made the best decisions in my life and have little stability or finances to my name at 27 and your words really spoke to me and it meant a lot. So I hope you have the chance to read this and know your message is being heard and I’m sure I’m not the only one, Rudy, so keep going and cheers for the wake up call.

This is a good conversation that needs to be had. Most people can hear what youre saying and still take no action or change sadly.

Last 10min is always my fav. 👍 thx.

Rudy I always watch your videos till the end. I'm fairly new to your channel (a few months) and I personally appreciate your honesty. Cheers

Must watch the whole thing. Great advice to live by

I wish these advisor videos got more views so we can see them more often. This video really hits home. Well done!

Great video Rudy, some really good advice for everyone out there.

These videos are the best! Funny to hear the pre-insanity mindset and market perspective.

the only large hard phyrexian tower I need is yours Rudy 💞 thanks for another creepy advisor vid! Excited for the next one!

Large Hard Phyrexian Tower... just for you Rudy... Thank you for the insight and knowledge. Love these finance videos

Thank you. These videos are very informative and beneficial. ❤️

Phyrexian tower(? Thanks for sharing this type of knowledge with us, I think these videos are really mind changing.

You inspire me to be better Rudy! Thanks for the pep talk brotha'

Hey Rudy, I wish I could give this video unlimited thumbs up. So many people need to see these types of videos! Great advice, exactly what I've been trying to explain to my daughters.

Thank you sir well done, I like the longer videos.

Awesome video!!

your videos did help me take the steps in the right direction. thanks rudy

Thanks Rudy ❤️ 🏰

Love these videos! Keep it up Rudy!

Hey Rudy, if it makes you feel better, I'm definetly one fo the people who's been convinced by your videos to start thinking about my finantial situation and my future. I'm still very young, so I'm starting slow, but luckily I am a cautious person in general and I can see, that you have a great message to convey. It puts a smile on my face every time you upload one of these whiteboard videos, as I know I'll learn something new. Large hard phyrexian tower ;)

Great vid, Thanks!

Coming To America is one of my all time favorite movies.

Hey Rudy, I JUST subscribed, but have listened for a few months. I have to say, while I am by no means a "well to do" person, and I am absolutely not a financial genius, I have come to hear what I would categorize as wisdom. Skeptical at first, due to your talk of debt, after giving it further listening I find your advise (with all of its sarcasm) to be pretty spot on. Not sure how to frame that in such a way as to sound praising, but given my particular opinion on debt, I found what you have said informative and solid. Thank you!

I LOVE THIS SERIES RUDY .. I was struck by lightning a year ago...we used all our savings on medical and dental bills, and are now rebuilding and i am working part time. My wife and i live in Seattle... we are in our late 30s/early 40s and together bring in around 110 to 120k a year...rent is 3k a month for a 2 bedroom 700 sq foot 1960s townhouse. This info is very very helpful, when the MEDIAN house is 760k and we are probably shopping around the 400 to 450k range... which means

You got my thumbs up as soon as I saw the Soul Glo T-shirt.

23:30 had me fuc**ng dying Rudy. Thanks for the laughs!

Massive Phyrexian Tower 🤘🏼 Great insight. Definitely makes me want to rethink some financials.

Thank you very much for this large, hard, Phyrexian Tower. This is a conversation that needs to happen for many people.

i just love when you make this videos :)

Stayed to the end, high return on the time invested. Thanks Rudy

Amazing vidéo this is truly helped me thanks.

These are my favorite videos on your channel and are the main reason I continue to support you on patreon despite rarely if ever purchasing anything. Keep them up!

Awesome Rudy taking notes thank you. Foster business school U of W!

He makes to much money to receive a deduction from passive losses. The phase out period for passive losses is from 100k to 150k of income.

These type of videos rock.

Large Hard Phyrexian Tower. Another amazing video!

Thanks for advice

Great chat! I had an investment property and I sold it. My renters were garbage, but now that I make a little more money, I wish I had found a way to keep it. I had a baby coming at the time I sold it and knew it was a monthly expense or liability I couldn't afford. After you explained the tax write off portion of the mortgage and my wife and I make more money... that would be nice right now.

Thanks creepy Rudy. I need to start looking into things myself on this front and it was useful to see some perspective.

Actually Rudy... My money is in ladies of the night. They always make money. For over 2,000 years and still going strong!

These are my favorite Rudy videos. They make me remember that I need to keep studying for this CPA license so I can boogie out of the back office in PE and (hopefully) find a more promising role.

Rudy, welcome back 😎

Definitely my favorite kind of videos, phyrexian tower

Thank you for the great video. Like they say, "it is not how much you make, but how much you keep and what you with it that is going to determine you financial success long term." Thanks for the real talk, especially those last few minutes of the video.

TOWER of POWER! Thanks, Rudy;)

Large hard Phyrexian Tower - This was a great video. It's not what anyone wants to hear, but it is what everyone SHOULD hear.

Phrexian Tower, yes I watched to the end I generally always do. Big plans as of last 6 months to the next block of my life to move in on my first house at a late age, better late then never. So this video was a good interception and I always enjoy all your videos. You have a life's worth of robust information and more importantly a positive attitude and the desire and will to do what ever it takes, and to genuinely want to help others which does actually make a difference. I'm sorry but it's ladies of the "evening" bubbles has forever shaped that expression for me. Keep the mission going, pink visor and all.

Coming to America! Great movie!

Hi Rudy, thanks for the Video, what do you think about index funds, would love to hear your opinion about it

Watching this in late 2020, and boy does "nobody can predict the future" makes sense now

Rudy, real talk. I've worked in the finance industry for 12 years and your personal financial advise actually exceeds that of most people working retail banking. Keep on keeping on.

A++ Lesson! Im lucky my parents taught me this as most dont i think sadly

Great Info. Great video. One thing is it is not Promised. Diversify. Save,Infest, Live it up once in awhile man.

Thanks for the large hard phyrexian tower!

for a new fan aged a couple days in this channel, I don't know what to say, but for someone like me in his early 20s, I am happy to say that your video really opened something in my mind, and I will take your advice and will do my best to maintain it as much as I can. Really touchy content, that was a creepy pun, serious topics takin care of greatly and this does help people a lot! Keep the hard, and trust me you are not that bad of an advisor :P Here is your heart(s) as you asked for

you the man rudy - from CA

love this series

Rudy for the win!!! 👍🏿

Thank You

"They love their job!" Haha The Basement is in charge of Rudy and it wants more Moogic.... nice ty

Wise words. That's why I'm working so hard right now and plan on working hard for the next 5 to 10 years: when I'm 60 years old I don't wanna have to stress about money anymore. If you're smart with your time and money you can still have fun when you're young while being responsible financially.

I would have added precious metals and commodity. Silver/gold and oil, specifically. What makes it great is they are (usually) in opposition with the market so there is always an opportunity. If market falls, metals go up, so you can switch back and forth based on which part of the cycle we're in.

Enjoyed the whole thing Mr Rudy. Watching these special videos help me look at my own finances to start thinking about the future. * insert large phyrexian heart fart * 🖤
