Worst investment ever

Jimmy’s worst investment is a mix between marrying a second wife and buying a car in 2016. He invested many resources in his second marriage, but it did not last that long.

When Jimmy married his second ex-wife, he wanted to invest about $100,000 in Bitcoin. But he was busy and did not have time to research and learn more about Bitcoin. When Jimmy could not find an easy way to do it, he purchased a car instead with that cash.

Lessons learned

• Go the extra mile in research and learning about investment opportunities before investing.
• Consider all the investment options available.

Actionable advice

If you’re young, seek advice from a mentor or your parents about what they would do instead of arbitrarily investing in a make-me-feel-good investment. Their guidance can be invaluable in navigating the complex world of investments.

Jimmy’s recommendations

Jimmy recommends reading Donald Trump’s Art of the Deal as a valuable resource for negotiation and decision-making.

No.1 goal for the next 12 months

Jimmy’s number one goal for the next 12 months is losing weight.

Parting words

“Thank you very much. Andrew and I wish everyone well.”
