It’s a daunting task to attempt law school at my age, but it’s well worth it. I might’ve lost a ton of money , my girl and much more this year BUT I didn’t lose myself… remember life is a marathon, not a sprint . Keep going
@NoelWhittaker Imagine I put $1000 of my pay into shares. It's already been taxed at 30%. One day those shares are worth $2000 and I must give the government $320. If I'd lost money, it's gone. But as i've made it, I am essentially now paying 60% tax on that original earning? How is it fair?
The CGT Tax Grab They're Hiding
The capital gains tax changes are worse than anyone realized. The actual tax rate is 32% including Medicare levy. And here's the kicker: it's a flat 32% regardless of your income. Zero taxable income? Still 32%. You can't reduce it with super contributions. You can't reduce it with charity donations. The only exception? Pensioners.
Self-funded retirees are being hammered while the government tries to rush it through Parliament before people figure out what's really happening. Spread the word. They're counting on you not noticing.
2018, I went for my passport renewal. The Officer I was to go through had his boys doing the processing outside the Vicinity of the passport office- The so called agents.
I have been using these agents since 2006 anytime I want to renew. Now this particular agent was someone I knew. He didn't know me but I knew him as one of the senior boys in the hood then.
I paid the money about 35k then and that was it. He ran with my money and those of so many others who were going through this particular officer. I later learnt this particular immigration officer had been answering queries relating to misconduct and misappropriation of funds of people coming to do their passports.
As the heat was heating up, this particular agent went AWOL. Anytime I called him and it went through it was either he was in Benin or traveling back to lagos. Most times my calls didn't go through.
I felt played, betrayed and used. I searched for this guy for weeks, then months then years, for comon 35k. As at this time price of passport had increased to 65k with begging. By 2023, I was at the lowest point of my life and one day while so confused about life, I heard within me to let it go and forgive him.
When my wife came back from work, I told her about my experience earlier that day and she told me I should let it go. After all the amount has lost value. So I let it go entirely and forgave.
Just 2 days after that encounter, I went out to get something from my home and immediately i opened my gate, I saw my guy! I was so angry why did I forgive this man just 2 days ago? I wanted to rush him but then I had already told God I'm letting it slide 2 days earlier.
He wanted to hide his face but I went to him and said, "Henry, I'm not angry with you again, In fact, don't worry about the money anymore". As we were talking, he told me that he works in so so microfinanance bank.
My people, the microfinance bank was 3 buildings away from my home. Less than 10 seconds walk. I asked him how long has he been working there, be said 5 years.
All these while I was looking for him, this guy's office was 10 seconds away from my home.
I melted...
I saw my former tailor today that borrowed ₦150,000 from me in 2023.
After collecting the money, she paid just ₦20,000 and disappeared. She blocked me on WhatsApp, moved from her house and I didn't have her new address.
Today I finally ran into her after 3 years.
She wasn't even sorry.
She told me she is trying to survive and didn't have money to pay anybody's debt. That bank apps are even tired of disgracing her
Then she gave me her address and said if I like, I should come and arrest her and take her to court.
She said "I dey owe no dey go jail"😂😂😂
Hi @TeamYouTube, @YouTubeCreators, @YouTubeTV my YouTube account got hacked yesterday, and removed. The problem: an editor of mine his email address got hacked, and lost access to it since his recovery email got spoofed.
The hackers gained access to my account and @QuintenFrancois , changed the name of it, and did something with it. We don't even know what the hackers did, except for the new name, that made it get removed. Both my account called "Young And Investing" and that of "Crypto Michaël" got removed. I appealed and got nothing back but "your channel will not come back online again".
Guys, how is it possible that I as an owner cannot recover my YouTube account because an editor of the account (no owner!!) got hacked? That makes no sense.
Please look into this.

@karbonbased Bro I asked my buddy the other day. He was deep in. I’m like hey you coming back to crypto? He said “fuck no man I lost $30,000 on $time! Btw where is cryptomessiah that mother fucker!” 🤣🤣🤣
Why retail won’t come back this cycle
1) we told them doge was going to $1 and dumped it at .69
2) we told them “safe” moon was safe to moon forever (it was t)
3) The biggest crypto exchange scammed americas sweetheart Tom Brady out of a fortune
4) We told them a jpeg of a monkey would hit 1 million dollars and sold at 400k
5) the past year the whole TL keeps saying “I can’t wait for retail to get here to dump on their gay heads”
@ptservlor@ptservlor, since you're one of the main voices for @openservai, can you please sound an alarm 🚩 to $serv holders and potential investers about @Blynexex. They are a scam exchange who was held my 100,000 $serv tokens hostage. I couldn't get those tokens off the exchange and they
This WhatsApp channel owner is a scammer. Because of him my whole account liquidated. Then he asked me 5k so he can trade and recover my loss. Once he got money, blocked me. @WhatsApp@Metawhatsapp.com/channel/0029Va…
@John_Myx YoungHoon Kim, XRPS He's a scammer, he stole all my funds from my Phantom wallet. He posts dangerous links that he uses to steal money. He also talks about Jesus, the scammer.
I thought I met a friend @JulzCaliLabs. Turned out to be a crook and a thief in the crypto space. Took 4 SOL from many people, and then kicked us out of your private group. After opening up to you, you proceeded to stealing more from us. Rugged everything you called. How do we recover? :(
@lochie_sol My best advice to myself who started trading crypto 10 years ago : don't catch falling knifes and double your investment hoping you can still breakeven. Most cryptos have lost 95% and will never make it back.
If you’re over 30, give one piece of financial advice you wish you knew at 20.
If you’re under 30, ask one financial question you’ve always wanted answered.
