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