00:00:08

You earned this. So, it's becoming harder and harder. And I've gone through this. I followed
00:00:28
society's version of money until I realized that if I continue living this way, the freedom, the choice, the
00:00:33
options that I want aren't going to exist. Um, hold on, give me a second. And I felt really trapped at times, but
00:00:43
I don't know how to escape. And I know a lot of people are probably hearing this
00:00:47
and thinking, I'm also in that place. And so I really feel like my purpose is to help as many people to go from
00:00:53
feeling trapped to freeing themselves and using money to do that. Wasn't expecting that.
00:01:01
Okay. So people are hungry for easy money tips and these stay the same regardless of how much you earn. So we

00:01:13
emergency buffer. And this does more for your emotional well-being than earning over 200k. But with the way cost of
00:01:19
living is going, you cannot save your way to retirement. So this is when you want to move on to investing. That is
00:01:24
the easiest way to make money. And my principle with investing is very very simple.
