BUYING A HOUSE IS A MISTAKE? 🤯

September 15, 202501:30
00:00:00
When I grew up, everyone said to me that
00:00:01
to generate wealth, get a job, get
00:00:03
money, then get a mortgage.
00:00:04
That's one of the worst pieces of advice
00:00:06
you can give somebody and your future
00:00:08
self is going to be poorer because of
00:00:09
it.
00:00:09
But that's what everyone's doing
00:00:11
because we're not taught this stuff.
00:00:12
So, what do you think the biggest money
00:00:13
mistake the average person makes is?
00:00:15
Being a saver.
00:00:16
So, just having your money sat in a bank
00:00:17
account.
00:00:18
Yeah, it's a guaranteed loss. You're
00:00:19
becoming poorer every single day.
00:00:21
But there are plenty of ways to retire
00:00:23
early and be financially independent.
00:00:25
And that's including secret hack that
00:00:27
makes people fortunate. So, let's talk
00:00:29
about making more money.
00:00:30
So, I want to talk about pensions,
00:00:32
credit cards, renting, bad money habits,
00:00:34
debt, passive income, spending money to
00:00:36
look rich. But first, what is it that
00:00:37
rich people know that the average person
00:00:40
doesn't know?
00:00:40
Rich people are more disciplined and
00:00:42
they're doing the little things that
00:00:43
compound into huge results like
00:00:45
investing. But, for example, the average
00:00:47
American spends more money on Netflix
00:00:48
than they do on their investments. And
00:00:50
if I invest $1,000 a month for 30 years
00:00:52
in something like the S&P 500, I will
00:00:54
have about $1.9 million. or there's no
00:00:56
asset in all human history that's ever
00:00:58
generated as much wealth in a short
00:00:59
period of time than Bitcoin.
00:01:01
There's one problem. Bitcoin is high
00:01:02
risk. And if any of those risks happen,
00:01:05
let me let me finish. Do you want to
00:01:07
have hope that you have the Bitcoin or
00:01:09
would you rather have more security?
00:01:10
You can reduce risk.
00:01:11
It's our job to educate them.
00:01:13
So if someone was $1,000, what would you
00:01:15
suggest they did?
00:01:16
I have a different take on this. If
00:01:17
you're trying to make more money, I
00:01:18
would.
00:01:19
And what about bad money habits? Because
00:01:20
when you look at the stats, money is the
00:01:22
number one source of stress for
00:01:23
Americans topping work, family, and
00:01:25
health.
00:01:26
There's a three-step framework, so I
00:01:27
want to get into that.
