Episode 50 - How To Have A Richer Relationship With Money - with Vix Munro

We all work hard for our money, but is our money working hard for us? In this week's show, Shaa is joined by Vix Munro, an entrepreneur, wealth coach, optimist and crypto enthusiast, to discuss the crucial topic of investing and how to make sure you're getting the best returns on the money you've earned. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's vital for people to be investing in something. Inflation is the highest it's been for ten years, and if your moneyis simply sitting in a bank account, it will literally do nothing. Your return on your investment must be higher than the rate of inflation. This means you'll be offsetting the effects of inflation as well as growing your money. The major players in the crypto market are in this for the long run. However, guidance is advised as there is a surfeit of information that leads people down the wrong paths. Crypto is not a quick way to wealth, but it should be considered as part of a longer  term investment strategy. Markets ebb and flow so fluctuations are to be expected. But if we are in this for the long term, as we should be, the general trend is that you are very likely to see a good return. BEST MOMENTS 'Over time it is completely feasible to get a return of 8% to 10% on your investment' 'Fundamentally, we all need to become far more financially literate' 'Theory is one thing, but practice is entirely different' 'Do not be blindsided by promises of overnight gajillionaire status' VALUABLE RESOURCES Building A Bigger Table Podcast - https://omny.fm/shows/building-a-bigger-table   ABOUT THE GUEST Vix Munro is an entrepreneur, author, money enthusiast & eternal optimist.
