Getting rich and staying rich are opposite skills.
Getting rich takes optimism, risk and conviction.
Staying rich takes paranoia, humility and the willingness to look like a coward.
Most people who hit it big go broke because they keep using the skill that made the money to try to keep it, know which game you’re playing.
Money isn’t a separate game from life. It’s just the most measurable form of patience.
If you can’t be patient, no income will save you. If you can, no setback will end you.
You just made your first $1M. Your brain immediately jumps to the bigger house, the nicer car, that business idea you’ve been itching to execute.
Resist all of it, that instinct is exactly why most people who come into money are broke again within a few years.
The move nobody teaches you: do nothing.
Let it sit. Don’t deploy it, don’t try to flip it, don’t show it off. Park it somewhere safe that pays you while you think. Lock it into a 2–3 month yield-bearing instrument e.g T-bills, low-risk positions, safe and battle-tested protocols.
You’re not trying to get rich off it; you’re already there. You’re buying yourself time to think clearly and getting paid to do it.
Run the numbers. $1M at just 5% APR:
→ $50,000 a year → $4,167 a month → $137 a day
Every day you wake up, $137 landed in your account. You didn’t touch your principal. You didn’t lift a finger, and if that 5% compounds daily, you’re closer to $51,200 a year, the money starts making money on the money.
So before you spend a single dollar or naira, ask yourself one question: can this purchase pay for itself from the interest alone? If yes, you’ve earned it. If no, you’re eating your seed.
Anyone can GET money. Keeping it is a different skill entirely and it starts with the discipline to sit still while everyone expects you to splurge.
Sometimes parking it and letting it pay you is the best play ever. This is from experience, don’t joke with your once-in-a-lifetime SEED when it comes your way.
@Adenry10@yizzyfied@Buchi_Laba@athenaartemis_ No coach can instruct Kane to stop him from doing that at this his age
Bro gave away the ball while doing that but still he does it again
Trust me if Ronaldo does that, he will attract more players which will open more space for his teammates but no, Man is old.
@_Jaredad@FabrizioRomano Olise had to set him up for up to three times before he could get one
Mbappe was good but olise shouldn't go without being mentioned
Manchester United players’ stats before we signed them:
Mbeumo (26yrs) – 29 PL goals in two years
Cunha (26yrs) – 27 PL goals in two years
Sesko (22yrs) – 27 Bundesliga goals in two years
If INEOS think he’s the right player and Carrick agrees with them, then I’ll support him.
To be fair, Summerville is not a bad player, but I just wanted INEOS to follow the same strategy that worked last season when signing attacking players. But they’re the experts, so they probably know better.
It's the fact some men think this is cute that amazes me. If only they knew how disgusted their woman feel for them.
Women are closer to babies but you're acting like a baby, so who do you think she'll run to when she needs a shoulder to lean on?
This is why women cheat on these kind of men who are overly emotional and attached to their woman because they're too weak to lead a woman properly.
