Ray Dalio on How to Make Money in Any Economy
The Money School: The Complete Financial Education You Were Never Given Nicole's most comprehensive book yet, the financial curriculum that should have been taught in school but never was. From your first paycheck to investing, buying a home, building wealth, and planning your legacy, The Money School is the full course in plain English. Go check it out: https://nicolelapin.com/money-school-book Financial headlines are always going to be scary, but there's money to be made in any economy. That's my biggest takeaway from sitting down with Ray Dalio. He started investing at twelve, built Bridgewater into one of the biggest hedge funds on the planet, and made more money for his clients than any hedge fund manager alive. I don't get starstruck often, but I couldn't play it cool with this one. Today I'm sharing the moments from our conversation that I'm still thinking about. I break down Ray's view of how money and debt really work, why he thinks the U.S. has a lot of "plaque" in its financial arteries, and what that means for the buying power in your bank account. Then I get into the investing strategy Ray is famous for, including the one asset he loves that another billionaire I had on the show said he has no opinion on. ----------------------- MORE FROM NICOLE LAPIN 🎥 Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MoneyRehabPodcast 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/moneyrehab/ 📽️ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nicolelapin 🌐 Nicole's website: https://nicolelapin.com OTHER THINGS WE DO 💳 SoFi: https://SoFi.com/MNN 💰 Private Wealth Collective: https://privatewealthcollective.com 🏦 The Money School: https://themoneyschool.com Learn more about your ad choices.
