We put a lot of pressure on people today
00:00:01
that as soon as they start working, they
00:00:03
need to get onto that property ladder.
00:00:04
But there's ways to build wealth that
00:00:06
don't require you to be in the real
00:00:08
estate game, including three numbers
00:00:09
that everyone should know when it comes
00:00:10
to their personal finance. 65, 20, 50.
00:00:14
Just knowing that creates a better life
00:00:15
for yourself because everything is
00:00:17
trying to pull you away from your money.
00:00:18
Cost of living going up, prices going
00:00:20
up, fighting against marketing to keep
00:00:22
your money in your pocket.
00:00:23
You earned this.
00:00:24
So, it's becoming harder and harder. And
00:00:26
I've gone through this. I followed
00:00:28
society's version of money until I
00:00:30
realized that if I continue living this
00:00:32
way, the freedom, the choice, the
00:00:33
options that I want aren't going to
00:00:35
exist.
00:00:36
Um, hold on, give me a second.
00:00:41
And I felt really trapped at times, but
00:00:43
I don't know how to escape. And I know a
00:00:45
lot of people are probably hearing this
00:00:47
and thinking, I'm also in that place.
00:00:49
And so I really feel like my purpose is
00:00:51
to help as many people to go from
00:00:53
feeling trapped to freeing themselves
00:00:56
and using money to do that.
00:00:59
Wasn't expecting that.
00:01:01
Okay. So people are hungry for easy
00:01:03
money tips and these stay the same
00:01:05
regardless of how much you earn. So we
00:01:07
can talk about the peace of mind fund
00:01:09
and doing that puts you ahead of 59% of
00:01:11
Americans. Then there's building your
00:01:13
emergency buffer. And this does more for
00:01:15
your emotional well-being than earning
00:01:17
over 200k. But with the way cost of
00:01:19
living is going, you cannot save your
00:01:21
way to retirement. So this is when you
00:01:23
want to move on to investing. That is
00:01:24
the easiest way to make money. And my
00:01:27
principle with investing is very very
00:01:28
simple.
