Inflation has the upper hand. The amount it’ll cost you to purchase something about 10 years ago isn’t the same as what it will cost today. However, that doesn’t mean that people will stop purchasing that thing. It doesn’t matter how much the cost of things increase, people will still eat out for their respective reasons which could because they don’t have the time to cook or even the skill. But it shouldn’t be surprising that the cost of living is getting higher.

Perhaps it is not right to disparage all alt-coins. Some alt-coins make you a lot of profit. As Bitcoin is the best cryptocurrency, comparing alt-coins with Bitcoin is not fair. Decentralization system is it's main basis.If you want to get more profit from bitcoin, you have to invest and hold for long term.

What class of an investor are you?

the decision to either save or invest depends solely on how much you have. There are amount you will have that can't go well with investing and might even look foolish if you're trying to do so. You can save to invest later and it might be one of the best way to relate saving and investing. If you have a project of $500 you need to execute within one month and your earning per week is around $200. You can't make investment with your extra income in such scenario. What you need do is to save of an amount that could easily accumulate into the desired $500 at the end of the month. If you invest the money I to Bitcoin hoping to sell back at the end of the month, you can't really tell what will happen at the end month knowing that it could possibly happen that Bitcoin is gaining or loosing and because you wouldn't want to gamble with the reality that awaits you at the end of the month, its only best you save up and shun any form of investment that's short termed and wouldn't give you the desired peace of mind you're looking for.

Making investment should come in at the stage you're looking out for a five to ten year interval of time and that's when you are talking about long term investments that's aimed at creating wealth. 

Gamble and don't be an addictive one because it will definitely ruined one's reputation in the system. We're not gods but humans in the real world, moreover we can be taking extra bold steps in making sure we start earning from the system with appropriate means, I'm talking about tremendous winnings. Why expose your gambling activities when you can be milking the system in mute phase. I'm just here to gather the extra change I can be able to lay my hands on and never doubt the act of losing heavily in the system.

I do not care to pay for quality and if it is something that I can use to generate a income with.

Let's take your vehicle as an example... You need a reliable mode of transport to get to work.. not something that will fail to start every morning when you have to go to work, so for that reason I will pay more for a more reliable car.

One of the strangest things I have noticed about humans is how we never stop being greedy. It is something we consciously or unconsciously drown ourselves in. Sometimes I sit and wonder why the richest people in the world want to make more money. I mean why not just make use of the one you have, it’ll last for all your generations. The person you speak of got drowned in greed. He didn’t even have enough funds to purse political power but he wanted it so badly and couldn’t wait till his business can stand the loss.

I agree with some of your points, mate. While it's true that we possess certain qualities within ourselves that contribute to success, it's equally important to acknowledge that we often need to seek knowledge and insights from others to truly excel in life. No one exists in isolation. we all depend on the wisdom, guidance, and support of those around us.You may believe that you have the drive and ambition necessary for success, including a hunger for knowledge, a desire for wealth, and a commitment to achieving your goals consistently. Well, you should  to recognize that success is not solely a solitary pursuit.It often involves collaborating with others, learning from their experiences, and leveraging their expertise to navigate challenges and seize opportunities.

Regarding your second point, I must express my reservations about the notion of shutting down a business entirely in pursuit of greater success. While it may seem tempting to focus solely on one venture, the reality is that success often stems from diversification and adaptability.
Many accomplished individuals you see today are not only entrepreneurs but also investors in various enterprises. They understand the value of exploring different avenues and supporting the endeavors of others.

while self reliance seems to be a nice idea most times, it's better to remain open to the contributions and support of others on the journey toward success. Collaboration, mentorship, and collective effort often pave the way for greater achievements in life.

At any phase in our lives, we really need to have balance, our spending vs consumption and then on the other hand saving for the future, at least in the next 10-20 years and built generational wealth. Of course, we can't discount the fact that inflation it's effect? it erodes the purchasing power of our money. But at least if you have said enough and really knows a thing or two about financials it won't affect you in the long run and you could retired with your money still has that value despite the inflation. So moral lesson here? Start to invest at a young age so that when you gets old you will enjoy your life to the fullest regardless of the current economic situation on the country that you live in.

Everything depends on the desires and potential that exist within oneself.
As the OP said, we have the same opportunity to be able to advise/give advice to others on things that are worth learning.
STEM courses are also very good and there are many choices that can be taken according to your desires and abilities, but my advice is that the difficult thing to find is your potential, so it is important to explore this first.
