Are you on track for financial freedom...or not?
Financial freedom is a combination of money, compounding and time (my McT Formula). How well you invest can make the biggest difference to your financial freedom and lifestyle.
If you invested well for the long-term, what a difference it would make because the difference between investing $100k and earning 5 percent or 10 percent on your money over 30 years, is the difference between it growing to $432,194 or $1,744,940, an increase of over $1.3 million dollars.
Your compounding rate, and how well you invest, matters!

| 0:45.0 | On today's show, we're going to talk about how Mark Cuban had his crypto wallet hacked for almost $900,000. Now this unfortunate situation really caught my attention |
| 0:57.8 | because Mark Cuban is known as a very savvy tech investor. I mean Mark's been around since the 90s in 1995 he founded |
| 1:06.1 | audio net which became broadcast.com which streamed sports games online and that company was sold to Yahoo in 1999 for 5.7 billion dollars. |
| 1:19.7 | Now you might know Mark as one of the stars of the TV show Shark Tank, or you might know Mark as one of the stars of the TV show Shark Tank or you might know him |
| 1:25.1 | as the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. But Mark has been around the tech world for a |
| 1:29.6 | long time and he's very savvy. So when I heard that he was hacked I wanted to know more about it and that's what I want to share with you today. So what Mark said was he recently went on to Meta-mask. Now MetaMask is not a wallet that I'm personally comfortable with. I have advised |
| 1:46.7 | people not to use Meta-Mask. So the first thing I'm really surprised about is that he used |
| 1:52.2 | Meta-Mask. But anyway, the coins were kept on metamask. He went |
| 1:56.5 | into metamask and hadn't been in there in months and wanted to check on his account on his phone, |
| 2:03.0 | but he believes he downloaded a fraudulent version of the popular app |
| 2:07.0 | found in a Google search. |
| 2:09.0 | And that's really easy to do because there are so many fakes and fishing schemes out there that are trying to look like they're authentic. |
| 2:17.0 | So unfortunately if that's what he did, then that makes a lot of sense that that's what happened. |
| 2:23.6 | He said there are versions of it, meaning Meta-Mask, |
| 2:26.4 | that are malicious and look like Meta-Mask, |
| 2:28.9 | but have a Trojan back door built into it. |
