Investor and entrepreneur Nikos Mavrakis spoke about the importance of financial literacy, the development of personal and professional skills, and the need for a shift in mindset regarding money and investments, as investor and entrepreneur Nikos Mavrakis noted on the AlphaNews Podcast with journalist Mario Rousso. As he emphasized, financial independence is not necessarily synonymous with wealth, nor is it achieved solely through a higher salary, but it requires the creation of additional sources of income, the acquisition of meaningful skills, and the ability to create value. At the same time, he spoke about the opportunities available to young people, the role of artificial intelligence, and his vision for providing free education to 100,000 young people through the NM Foundation.

But how achievable is financial independence in an era of rising living costs and limited purchasing power? Can a young person break free from relying solely on their salary and create new sources of income? And finally, how important is financial education in helping people distinguish real investment opportunities from promises of getting rich quick?
