How Bill Gates Wants To Be Like Warren Buffett: Retirement 'Sounds Awful'

[RobertDamanii]

Retirement isn't an end goal, but a journey best secured by careful and consistent investments.

[BrigetteWaltershield]

The BIGGEST LIE You've Been Told About Money is that it doesn't grow on TREES!!

[popsarah]

Jobs will pay your bills, business will make you rich but investment makes and keep you wealthy! I pray everyone here becomes successful

[leziah_kurt]

You work for 42yrs to have $2m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $20k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

If you really want to cut childhood deaths, why not campaign against child labour and abuse in Congo for the sake of exploiting resources? coltan etc

[POORANDBROKECITIZEN]

Bill looks great for his age. I think he can continue to innovate for at least 1 or 2 more decades.

Bill Gates will never be like Warren Buffett. Warren Buffett is a man of integrity 🙏🏽

[jeffrosati]

Gates and Buffet both take your money with lucrative govt contracts. The "magic" of huge political donations.

[ClaudiaS]

He is great ❤🎉 Thank you, Bill Gates!

[lpgoog]

Buffett outclasses Gates.
He shouldn't have given him a dime. I ain't talking vaccines and science either.

[danivi]

Isn’t AI one of the biggest tools for disinformation? 😂😂😂

[amytuttle]

The right choice of an investment has always been a big problem for me I know picking a wrong investment will leave a big scar in the future.

[garrickphillips-xz]

How can one really amass wealth gains like Buffet without having to hold stocks for too long? Over the years, I've teetered in the brink of financial ruin due to an awful divorce and considering retirement in 4 years, I now look towards the stock market to fuel my comeback.

[danutahull]

Enjoyable listening Bill You covered many interesting topics, don’t compare yourself to anyone else, you are unique, gifted with a great brain, lucky and blessed with good fortune from the fruits of your hard work. You have many more years of work ahead of you 🙏♥️

[anan-wmes]

Words of the rich are not always wise.

Weekends and vacations are to be with family. Billions without family will leave you in despair.

[RichardLennon-wb]

I'm favoured, $22k every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. God bless America.

[estevesmartins]

I thought the Mrs. got the foundation…

[cosmeticscameo]

also you'll notice the ones that say reitrement sounds awful were the ones that always called the shots at where they worked you will rarely ever notice someone that has worked less than desirable jobs to complain about retirement.

[LilBogota]

Rules is public policy…white house 3X, Biden 3x, Kamala 3x, Trump 3x

How did one of America's leading innovators turn into America's leading psycho?
