I used to be a doctor, now I think of ways to make strangers laugh in a dark room for money. I'm like an untrained therapist, and the therapy is mostly for myself. So, in a nutshell, I am a stand-up comedian.
Bitcoin in 2016. Also, marrying my wife in 2011 blablablablabla.
A Bitcoin scam in 2017. I am serious! I should have noticed the red flags but got too greedy. Luckily I wasn't burnt for much. Recently, the founders were arrested in the US. It's called Bitclub. Stay away from all these complicated schemes. You want cryptocurrency? Just buy cryptocurrency.
A unit trust called Public Islamic Dividend Fund. It's still giving me returns, so I guess I'm happy. I bought it with money I brought home from Dublin. I worked in a pub there and managed to save some Euros. [Editor's note: Ooh, money from non-halal activities being invested in a syariah-compliant fund! Courting controversy are we Jason?]
I absolutely despise MLMs and pyramid schemes.
I am investing to be SUPER RICH and make my peers jealous. Anyone that tells you otherwise is lying. Also for my daughter's future, retirement, blablablabla.
I am not a very savvy guy so I invest mostly in stuff that I don't have to watch all the time. I also save a lot of my income, live well below my means, perhaps too low because people keep complaining I dress like a homeless person. And from the saved income, I invest most of it. I don't buy trinkets, gadgets or social status symbols to compensate for my small p***s. I spend money on making memories and acquiring skills. I also make friends with people who are smarter and richer than me, like Malek Ali. [Editor's Note: Jason is referring to Fi Life's founder. Malek later responded by saying that Jason is much better at investing than Malek is at comedy]
I do insure myself, especially medical insurance and travel insurance. But I'm slowly learning there are better alternatives than the well-known insurers. I would also like to insure myself against the common stupidity of general humanity. If such a product exists, I will purchase a plan in perpetuity.
If I could turn back time, there is no need for me to be financially savvy because...I CAN TURN BACK TIME HOLY COW HOW POWERFUL AM I? But to answer this easily, I would have bought even more Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, then as of writing this, I will quite literally be a trillionaire. I will be a time-controlling, trillionaire, otherwise known in many cultures as God.
