It may be subjective, at least you need to know your income, expenses, assets and liabilities. For more details, you can read the book Cashflow Quadrant by Kiyosaki.
All you need to do is check or fix what's holding you back from managing your money well, and don't let your expenses exceed your income.
and make it a habit to record what you will buy and use it to fix which ones are important and which are not important and this is very important. And make it a priority to save even a small amount for your reserve fund, preferably if you have some left to invest.
Even though this seems natural and should be owned by everyone, in reality there are still many people who don't understand or don't care.
and read books or anything that can help you financially including watching the YouTube channel, but it has to be one that is trusted and can really help you.

The bigger problem with coaching a crisis-prone club like Chelsea is that,  the management won't give the coach enough time to build the club back through the recovery stage until they can stand on their feet rather the club owners will want the new coach to start performing miracles and delivers the winning right away.

But the process of reviving a club that has gone through a series of crises and poor performance throughout history is not overnight magic,  it requires long-term work and preparation that position the club for a better fit to be able to deliver quality results in the long term
That's right, most club owners can't wait to get their money back. Almost all wealthy clubs will demand a coach to be able to realize his ambitions as quickly as possible, it is not impossible to do so but it takes time to make it happen. In Roman Abramivich ownership history, we can see how many coaches were fired, and star players were recruited. But in reality, it was interim coach Roberto Di Matteo who had greater luck.

I think Chelsea can come back to be the best in EPL and UCL, but Owners and Fans have to be patient.
And it really takes extra patience for football lovers, especially Chlasea fans, to be able to watch very entertaining matches played by Chelsea players, like the era of Didier Drogba et al a few seasons ago.
and the coach is not a magician who can change Chelsea in a short time, it takes a long process and must be given a long time to improve the team for the better. And if there is a constant change of coaches when Chelsea don't change, then Chelsea can never change.
1284  Economy / Speculation / Re: Will $25,000 give way this time? on: August 24, 2023, 03:00:40 PM
This sudden dip is due to the bad news that market has faced. Tesla selling huge amount of Bitcoins was the catalyst that made the market crash. Bitcoins have suddenly fell from 30k usd to 25k usd. This isn’t bad at all to be honest. It just gave us the opportunity to buy the coin for low price. I would suggest everyone not to panic and accumulate as many coins as you can. The price will soon go up again during 2024.
These dips are natural and not too significant, and are actually good opportunities to buy and collect more Bitcoins as each dip is a can't-miss discount for long-term Bitcoin holders.
Of course the decline that occurred was caused by several factors, including some selling to take profits and some selling out of panic, but this moment will be put to good use by long-term holders or strong hands. Because they believe the Bitcoin price will come back up, and I assume a Bitcoin price below 30k is still the best buy.

If you were in the narrator's shoes, would you take a break from gambling despite knowing that you are not addicted, or would you patronize another betting shop?

Yes, I will take a break since the manager already told me so or else there’s other betting shop that I can place my bet. Consistency imho is not an immediate addiction especially on this case which the money amount involved is consistently small. I will only consider this as an addiction if he is placing an increasing amount of bet per day.

This kind of protocol for betting shop on UK is normal(I guess) because they have a very strict gambling regulatory board to watch all businesses related to gambling and maintain welfare to their citizens. They also proposing a bet limitation amount per player IIRC just to control addiction.
I agree with you, because it is in the best interests of all gamblers. And if someone from the betting shop operators noticed, it was probably meant to warn gamblers that gamblers need to exercise self-control when losing streaks continue. And it would be even better if there were betting shops giving good advice or advice to excessive gamblers before resting them.
And I think it's for the good of the gamblers, or maybe the betting shop doesn't want to be blamed when many gamblers are addicted because they often bet at the shop.
and if it was me i would also quit and if i didn't feel addicted i would find another betting shop.

Your dream must be the same as everyone who likes Bitcoin, including me, because those who have businesses or shops and so on will definitely want to use Bitcoim as an alternative payment. However, regulation and illegality have hampered their dreams and most countries only allow Bitcoin as an investment or commodity except in El Salvador.
Although we can still do it secretly and over time we will definitely be found out too, and we only hope that dreams or anything about the goodness of Bitcoin can come true and Bitcoin becomes legal and can also be used as an alternative payment. But this is only a matter of time and we must be optimistic that in the future Bitcoin can make all our dreams come true.
1287  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Is it worth it to teach older people about bitcoin technology? on: August 23, 2023, 08:45:46 AM
If the young children were not exempted from learning bitcoin then the old also must be included in the opportunity, bitcoin is for everyone as long as there's willingness with a desiring heart for it adoption, what may only be the little challenge is the way it will be taught on this specific senior citizens, how fast can they learn and assimilate, how many people will develop interest in learning, if all these can be taken care of, there's nothing stopping the old ones from using bitcoin.

I don't actually argue the fact that Bitcoin is for everyone but I feel age is also to be considered very old people are always having one health challenge or the other, and we don't expect them o worry about themselves and start worrying about Bitcoin and we all know what investing in bitcoin entails, to me they should, should be resting and eating well when I get old I would like to rest and take proper care of my self and my health, for me that has the idea of bicoin is a plus but old people at there memory is getting weaker and they tend to forget things quickly, I would not be old and sill be stressing my brain Grin.  and even teaching them also is hard work, bro
It all depends, old or very old if they are serious and want to learn about Bitcoin why not. Getting involved with Bitcoin does not put their health at risk or stress them out, the most important thing is that they understand Bitcoin and can afford it for whatever money they can afford to lose.
owning Bitcoin would not be a burden, very old people only buy Bitcoin when the price is low and keep it long term. And I think in a year or two, the Bitcoin price will definitely go up and surpass the previous buy price and that's an opportunity to sell it without waiting years.
So Bitcoin is for everyone regardless of age, and as long as they want it and are willing to learn about it, they are eligible to get involved.

Direct online cockfighting betting or online cockfighting betting does exist because I once saw one of my friends betting online cockfighting, but not with a crypto-based casino.
And with current technological developments, cockfighting games can already be played online (live streaming). Of course we can play it or watch it on our smartphone or computer.
because I'm not interested in real or online cockfighting betting so I don't care, because I'm an animal lover and also have several chickens. So will not bear to see it, because it's so cruel. And I'm also against him not doing it but he doesn't care because that's his right too.
1289  Economy / Economics / Re: Entrepreneurship and women on: August 23, 2023, 02:27:32 AM
Historically, the more individual freedom women had, the more they excelled even over men.
The reason is because women must always work harder, never give up, be disciplined, full of innovation and also be able to be financially independent and make an economic contribution to themselves, their families or anyone who accompanies these women. And get smarter just to survive. If left unchecked, that woman would be extraordinary.
And the biggest challenge that men don't have is. They can be mothers, housewives, wives, sisters, daughters, entrepreneurs. And everything can be done simultaneously, and there are still many women who are like this and there are times when they will stop and focus on taking care of the household and children after being successful. Especially successful in finance for the comfort of living with family and also in old age.

I think if Chelsea can't win against Luton Town this weekend, then Pochettino is really under pressure.
Pochettino and Chelsea are under more pressure than they would have loved to be so early on in the season, two matches played and they have scored just two goals, conceded 4, and have only 1 point; that is not the sort of start that the fans would have hoped for. Having said that, Chelsea know that the only option in their next game is a win, and i think the fixture somewhat favors them, they should easily get a win against newly promoted Luton Town on Friday, the game is also in Stamford Bridge, which gives Chelsea more advantage.
That's what happens when you expect too much from already wounded team, it's doesn't just settle the issue even if you offload the whole squad, the problem is that Chelsea needs as fast as they can to input that winning mentality on the team if not there problems is still going to persist for a very long time

The big problem for Chelsea right now is compatibility. They can overcome this problem by simply trying to strengthen the team's relationship with each other. In this case, the biggest task is left to the technical team and Pochettino. Pochettino must do his best to get the whole team in line as soon as possible otherwise we could see something similar to last year's Chelsea performance and that would be a huge disappointment.
It is so heart breaking that Chelsea still performs just like the way they were performing last season,  I was thinking having Pochettino as the new coach and changing some players their will be a transformation in their performance. Chelsea has tried everything just to perform  better but it seems all their efforts is not bringing good results. All blames was put upon the previous coaches as if the failure was their fault but it was never from them. The problem of Chelsea is not just a matter of coach or players,  it could be something else and they really need to find out what is really their problem.
The problems faced by Chelsea must be known immediately so that this season Chelsea is better and able to compete at the top, and most coaches backfire when their teams perform poorly. But Pochettino is not a magician who can change Chelsea in a short time. The reason is, the remnants of Chelsea's poor results last season are still carried over and it takes time to recover.
and the funny thing is again in the match against West Ham the highest paid player, Enzo Fernandez missed a penalty kick and Caicedo also caused a penalty for West Ham and succeeded.
1291  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Saudi Professional League 2023/2024 on: August 22, 2023, 05:02:45 PM
Neymar will not have injury problem much in the Saudi Arabia pro league, like he had in Europe. In the Saudi Arabia pro league they play less matches compare to Europe, Neymar will have much resting time here. Neymar Will give u his best when he's injury free. He's among the best players in the world, having him in this here is another big plus to the league After Ronaldo.

AlHilal has the strongest team in the league after Alnassr and they are doing very well without Neymar. Neymar is just addiction strength to them when he returns from injury.

I agree with you the competition and schedule in the Europa League is not like in the Saudi Pro League so Neymar has more time to rest and the risk of injury is low, even though Neymar is injured I don't think it's a big problem because Al Hilal still has several players he can rely on as we know this season Al Hilal brought in many of Europe's top players. To be honest I was really looking forward to the Al Hilal vs Al Nassr fight unfortunately we won't be seeing this match in the near future due to the schedule of both teams playing in November, the match last August was not a real match because Neymar and the other players were not in the lineup.
Al-Hilal was a good team before Neymar and some of the top European players. And the last five meetings with Al-Nassr have been pretty good, three wins, one draw and Al-Nassr won only once.
and Neymar's presence at Al-Hilal will strengthen and also make it easier to score goals and this will be a dangerous team for the opponent, and there is still plenty of time for Neymar to fully recover before playing in mid-September. And I can't wait to see Al-Hilal against Al-Nassr because the two best players in the world will meet, Neymar and Ronaldo in the Saudi Arabian pro league.

Both have a limited supply, both need to be mined although the mining process is very different, and both can be used as currency and are also great for promising investments.
I have both, and all I did was take some of the profits from Bitcoin to buy gold when the bitcoin price hit a high. And I prioritize Bitcoin because of its security, even though it has risks due to fluctuations. But for the long term Bitcoin in my opinion there is no risk as long as I have strong faith and patience, in the long term Bitcoin always promises to provide good returns.

A decent start to the halfway point of the first half by Arsenal. Crystal Palace are sitting deep as expected and allowing the goonerz to have possession of the ball as they wait to hit on the counter with some long balls.

Declan Rice and Thoma Partey partnership looks to be the favoured pairing by Arteta and both players are beginning to get into a rhythm. It is a shame that Timber sustained that injury cause he was already proving to be a very important signing allowing Arsenal to play with an extra holding midfielder when they have the ball.

Lots of more action expected.
Arsenal were good in this game, but they still failed to score in the first half. Eddie Nketiah and Martin Odegaard had some good chances, but they haven't had the luck to score. The first half was really interesting even though overall Arsenal were able to dominate the match, but Crystal Palace also performed well even though they tended to defend.

I expect a better second half from both teams and I hope there are goals. It's hard to believe that Arsenal have to end this match without a goal or lose to Crystal Palace, but it's also possible for Palace to score on the counter-attack.
Yes, Arsenal had to score in the second half and there had to be substitutions, especially in midfield because Arsenal focused more on attacking from the left and right wings. And also there must be a change in strategy and rotation in order to score goals.
And in the first half both teams had a lot of good chances but were unlucky. And Arsenal also have to be careful with Crystal Palace's counter-attacks, and I think both teams will score in the second half and Arsenal have to win.
1294  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Top altcoin that you won't buy anymore on: August 21, 2023, 03:03:08 PM
If aiming for the long term I only trust two well known and trusted cryptocurrencies with a solid track record and large market capitalization especially Bitcoin and Ethereum and Bitcoin is my priority.
However, it is important to remember that the cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, and there are always risks associated with investing in any digital asset, and always do your research and analysis before making your investment choices and goals in the short, medium or long term.
And it is advisable to diversify your investments and only invest what you can afford to lose. And as for Tron, I don't have Tron, so I don't know much about it because I'm not interested.
1295  Economy / Economics / Re: Am I a bad person if I manage to avoid taxes? (Hypothetical question) on: August 21, 2023, 01:34:54 PM
I don't how you're going to avoid all of your taxes, but you'll get exposed soon and you won't like what's waiting for you.

Avoiding your taxes isn't the solution to battle inflation, you might save some money but you're still going to spend it on buying the things you need and wants and that's still consider as paying taxes. But to answer the your question, yes, you're a bad person if you're avoiding some of your taxes, whether it's every month or every year.

It's actually not that bad if you can evade it legally, I know it's not something that is frequently talked in the society today because it is our responsibility as a citizen to pay taxes but in line with the topic, you'll be surprised that most billionaires and other rich individuals are even getting away with it without having any problems because as I said, they have done it in a legal way. Well, not evading wholly because they are still paying a big sum annually (food, clothes, wants and other needs that are also taxed beforehand are not included) but not as big if they are not having some techniques to evade some of their taxes legally.
Avoiding taxes will only be a time bomb, as if we are hiding what we have, and what we are fighting against is the state, where the government can do anything to us, including blocking assets. but if we can avoid it legally maybe this will be a different story, considering that taxes also aim to build a country, even though many people are disappointed with the person, but the country's large income comes from taxes, and of course we as good citizens must obey against government regulations

Taxes are there for a certain reason and we cannot evade it no matter what we do because it's for our own good. I mean, how can we keep our economy growing and blooming if we are evading from it or against it? It may or may not sound reasonable to some people that are living in other countries where they have some particular law about taxes but whether we like it or not, it is what keeping the country strong and firm.
Even though we will not be poor to pay taxes, and if we care about our own country, there is nothing wrong with us paying taxes, because it is mandatory, especially for those who have income every month.
and the purpose of the tax that is given to the state treasury will be used for the welfare and prosperity of the people of the country itself, and unknowingly the benefits will be felt by all citizens. And if your name is registered as a taxpayer, and you haven't paid your taxes in a long time, maybe the tax man will come to collect you for the time you've been delinquent. And if your name isn't registered, I don't think it matters if you're evading taxes.

The West Ham vs Chelsea match was a 1-1 draw in the first half, and Chelsea got a good chance in the 43rd minute because they were awarded a penalty that Fernandez executed. But unfortunately West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola was able to block it because it was easy to read.
Even though it was an opportunity for Chelsea to add a goal in the first half which should have been used very well and had to be executed by the right people. And I think Carney Chukwuemeka will take the penalty, because he already scored in the 28th minute. And so far Chelsea have dominated the game throughout the first half and I hope in the second half Chelsea can add goals and win the game against Wesr Ham.
Chelsea are still trying to dismantle West Ham defense to find their first win, Chelsea had the opportunity to change the score to 2-1 but the penalty kick that was executed by Enzo Fernandez was successfully driven away by the West ham goalkeeper. Chelsea struggle got even harder after West Ham changed the score to 2-1 in the 53rd minute through a goal created by Michail Antonio, Pochettino had to rack his brains so that his team would not be humiliated in this game. Chelsea's great squad is still having difficulties in front of West Ham, Pochettino had to change strategy to save his team from defeat.

I am genuinely concerned about Chelsea. I know this is just the start of the season. But they had to perform better against West Ham United. Right now, the score of the match between Chelsea and West Ham United is 2-1 in favor of West Ham. Chelsea did not win the first match and now they are about to lose the second match as well. But probably Chelsea still has a chance because West Ham United is playing with 10 men. Because West Ham United has a player sent off. But Chelsea will have to hurry because 89 minutes have already been played in this match. There are not so much time left in this match for Chelsea to do too many things. Chelsea will have to pull something out of their ass right now.
Seeing the way Chelsea play really pisses me off, because Chelsea can't take advantage of 10 West Ham players. And as we can see West Ham with 10 players can still attack and put pressure on Chelsea, even being able to add goals through penalty kicks.
And even though it's still early in the season, Chelsea must be able to show changes plus many new and young players who must be able to take advantage of the moments of 10 opposing players, and also penalty kicks. But the opportunity did not make the slightest change, Chelsea even conceded and the score became 3-1. My expectations in the second half for Chelsea were wrong.

I think older people should be involved with bitcoin especially those who have savings or their money for retirement, and even though it's not easy to do because they also need to be knowledgeable about bitcoin and its future. But at least we try to do it for our own parents, because we as children already know and understand that bitcoin is very good for our parents because it is profitable, especially in the long term.
and I suggest you do this for the peace of our parents and also for us as children so that our parents don't bother us too much about financial problems in the future.
there is no need to suggest other parents if we still have parents, because our parents already know that we are involved with bitcoin and see our changes because that is an example that will make it easier for them to believe.

I am not against introducing bitcoin and encouraging our parents to invest in bitcoin because it is truly the best asset we have. But the biggest barrier for parents or elders is time. I mean to be able to profit from bitcoin, we need to hold for many years or more, and for older adults can they wait that long? Moreover, the elderly are the time when they need to rest and enjoy life, not the time to rush to earn more money. So we still recommend Bitcoin to them but don't force them but let them decide for themselves, and we should respect their decision.
You are right, and this is where I mean to see how old our parents are and also bitcoin analysis for the next few years, because this discussion is still new. So my advice for the next few years I think it's still possible, even very possible to turn a profit, because a lot of people are saying the next halving might just be a few years away.
and I don't need to explain about the age of our parents because we know how old our own parents are and it's easy for us to predict, and also bitcoin investment doesn't interfere with old age health because money works. And also don't have to invest all the money, and stay under the supervision of the child.

I don't understand what's going on with this Liverpool side, is just funny how the goalkeeper and the defense act like it's their first time of facing the Bournemouth side.
Well, Liverpool didn't let those two errors get them down, they restarted their style of play and got a spectacular goal from Diaz and later on a penalty scored by Salah. I expect Liverpool to come out and get more goals in the second half.
The captain (van Dijk) of the side needs to wake up, he's getting very slow by the day, I think Liverpool need to get a better CB.
Liverpool 3 - 1 Bournemouth, the goal scored few minutes after Mac Allister got a red card which I assume it was abusive, I mean he made a mistake by touching the leg of Bournemouth player but the referee could gave him a yellow card in my opinion.
Liverpool had many opportunities including Salah when he tried to pass the ball under the goalkeeper legs but he failed.
The Liverpool vs Bournemouth match is over and Liverpool won the match with a score of 3-1, Liverpool played quite well and also dominated the game by releasing 26 shots and 10 shots on target and Liverpool deserved to win this match.
and I salute Brighton for beating Wolves at home 1-4, and in 10 minutes at the start of the match in the second half Brighton was able to score 3 goals.
