Beware Of Wanna Be Finance Gurus

Have you seen these finance gurus online? I have also, but I unfortunately know one of these loser finance gurus. I won’t mention his name. For the sake of this blog, we will call him Dog Poo the finance guru.
I know Dog Poo very well; he is my cousin’s cousin. Dog Poo worked on wall street and lived with his parents’ house the whole time he was in New York. So, Dog Poo was not good enough to live on his own in NYC. During the pandemic, he ended up moving to Florida. That’s because he clearly wants a lower cost of living. Not because he has a big finance job in Florida because there is no such thing of that as far as I can see.
Now that is pretty normal and actually pretty decent achievements, but for the standard of a finance guru that can coach you on how to make it, well then, I guess Dog Poo lives up to the name I gave him.
Dog poo never owned a business. His first business is this whole bogus finance guru social media profiles he has with his website. So basically, his business model as a finance guru is to press a button and hope for the best. Does this sound like a financial expert? No!
But when you see Dog Poo he looks the part, he sounds like a tooth fairy but when you analyze what he writes, I can see that he is a special ed student of the field of finance, not a Guru.
On top of that, he switched his job every two years in the field of finance. None of his employers ever stopped him by offering a better salary, they just said “OK Dog Poo, see you later!” Which means that in his field of finance he was not an asset for any company. So, what advice can this guy give people? But none the less, social media is a bodega where the ignorance has a wonderful taste.
Do not fall for what you see on social media. An expert should not be living at their mother’s house. And if you are going to be a finance guru, please be one that was able to live on their own in a place like New York City without the help of their parents. And please be someone who worked at a company for more than two years. Who knows maybe I am just old fashion and not stupid, you know?!
