After I Read 103 Books on Money - Here's What Will Make You Rich

Anthony, what a great video! I feel like you and Alex Hormozi are the few on youtube that actually give advice based on experience lived through lots of trial and error etc. To answer your question, or maybe a follow up to one of your video points... how, exactly do you build a good business? Not the generalities but the specifics? Alot of videos go along the lines of, find a problem in the market, solve problem, make sure product is good, b) look at those who have been successful and reverse engineer their success. I suppose at some point there comes a point where we will seek out experts to help us (be it hiring people to run certain things), or mentors who have walked the path. How do we discern who to listen to, how to ask specific questions, when to heed advice, when to ignore advice? what circumstances where only trial and error will solve certain problems? Thanks and keep up the awesome videos!

I am struggling with people. I mean have you ever felt that you are all alone. As you reach 26 age, you don't have friends, money becomes a necessity. You understand that it takes time to achieve everything from scratch and consistency is the key. I don't believe in friendship and in love(apart from parents). I just started to understand that you will get betrayed eventually so its better to stay alone and avoid everyone. A person may be kind but if he experiences so many negative emotions like helping a friend but then getting stabbed by them. or loving someone deeply but she replaced you at a blink within 2 weeks. Everyone wants to take advantage or talk to you for their own selfish intentions. I am afraid all this experiences make you angry and cold hearted. You stop helping people and always have your guards up. What is your take in this matter ?

“Saving is just another form of spending.” This blew my mind. With saving out of the picture you’d think investing is the no-brainer priority for everyone to take on as their next step. Unfortunately they tell you not to bother investing until you have x-amount saved up anyway.

[@AnthonyVicino]

That's a gamechanging perspective right there, huh? Changed my life.

[@stachowi]

only issue is that when money tightens (interest rates increase) that causes assets to deflate... cash is king when assets are deflating because few people have access to cash and they have to sell at a lower price. Inflation turns into deflation when assets are propped up by cheap credit and inflated multiples (100X PE)

[@erxfav3197]

@@stachowi you mean INflating? Inflation causes the value of the dollar to drop.. But yes for sure cash is king when fewer people have access to it. And there’s value in liquidity.

[@erxfav3197]

Saving may be spending but you’re spending money to have a valuable asset as well. Liquidity. Which is, potential. And there’s also risk in investing. It’s not guaranteed. But of course your money is guaranteed to depreciate as well.. So there is risk in holding it too. So you *are* PAYING to save and have it on hand instead of putting it into assets. @Anthony Vicino @Qiui Feetuccine

While other KZbinrs do give out some good, sound advice, yours has been good, sound and, most importantly I feel, practical. I can immediately apply your advice in the work that I’m already in, instead of going out and creating a completely new business (which I understand is exactly what some people are looking for, it just doesn’t apply to my situation). So practical in fact that as I’m watching your videos, my brain is already working away thinking of ways to implement your advice immediately.

Very insightful video.. I just saw a friend make a Facebook post about how 'no one deserves a million dollars. The only way they can get that is through greed.' I guess it's wild how so many people view money as simply a measure of greed. Viewing others as a potential partner instead of competition was also a very good point to mention. I think I've struggled with viewing others as competition and being envious of those who are already winning the game. I think if I work on transferring that energy inti focusing on what I can learn from them, (versus simply envy) in a small way it would be like networking with them.

[@AnthonyVicino]

That's 100% the right mindset to take. "What can I learn from them" is really just another form of networking with them. Truth be told, envy is real. I struggle with it, too. (Sometimes I've even allowed it to occupy an unhelpful amount of my mental bandwidth). The key is to recognize when you're falling into that trap so you can intentionally reorient your perspective towards one of empowerment. Psyched to have you here, Soulless :)

The budget was the #1 thing that changed my financial life. Once I started putting down even the most simple things I spent money (like your pot pie example), I got a clear vision where all my money went.

[@AnthonyVicino]

So simple, yet so powerful.

[@faridaakther8248]

Your videos are very helpful. Keep making videos💗

[@AnthonyVicino]

Glad you like them!

[@tacsmith]

People often forget that it's not. "Money is the root of all evil" its "The LOVE of money is the root of all evil" The subtle hint is that you should not be enslaved by its pursuit, doing anything for it in the same way you would do anything for a loved one.

[@AnthonyVicino]

True

[@kristinaleonardo9222]

Anthony, I’ve been doing pretty well on the money front for the past couple of years (subjectively, ofc, and according to my circumstances) and I cannot agree with you more. Rule number 1 - spot on. But it is the rule number 2 that I really like. Very insightful and I haven’t heard it put this way yet. Completely accurate, ofc. Greetings!

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Kristina! Glad you found those rules interesting and somewhat new!

[@christsciple]

Ok, so without diving into your background because that can wait for another day, your videos have no value and contribute nothing towards helping folks obtain wealth or grow their current income. Your channel is the exact same as any other "self help" guru out there. After investing time into watching your videos you don't offer anything tangible, here's a quick summary: 1. Mindset 2. Belief 3. Good enough to great 4. Money is a game In short - your waxing philosophical on it, which certainly has it's place in the money making arena, but it's hardly anything new. All of this has been said and rehashed in different ways a million times over, leaving you without any differentiating factor from all those other folks. Furthermore, you then peddle your books and podcasts, and then most importantly - your "master class". As a mid-30's millionaire I take it upon myself to call out others like yourself - word of advice, you should actually dive into the hard facts and details of your path, your journey, and actually discuss why "money is a game", rather than simply talking about it from an absurdly high level that offers no clear help or understanding to folks. Here's an example to you out: "Money is a game" - ok, why is it a game exactly? Outside of all the mental games and philosophy, does anything else factor in? Taxes perhaps? Purchases and returns? Source of income and/or investments? What's often overlooked is that becoming a millionaire is an increasingly unrealistic and unobtainable goal, and it's becoming more difficult for folks year after year for a plethora reasons not short of inflation, taxation, and general fleecing of the middle and lower classes. Increasingly, newly minted millionaires are earning/obtaining their wealth either through a new breakthrough idea/product/invention (relatively rare), or from generational wealth passed down from their parents. The whole idea of saving cash is simply not a choice for an ever growing percentage of the population; so what do you do? It's hard hitting questions such as these that are entirely overlooked by all the "hey I'm a millionaire, listen to my personal philosophies on money and life" folks. If this video is all you learned from reading those books then you're either a poor reader or those books simply suck. Here's one wealth creation tool that never fails is a more a hybrid product of a tool: education and skillset. The more educated you become and skilled you become in one area, leveraging much of your knowledge in others, the greater chance you have of building tremendous wealth. An example for someone with limited means - learn computers/technology/coding. It's something nearly everyone can do on their own without serious financial investment. The main investment it takes is your time.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thanks for checking out the videos, brother. Seems like they've really triggered you. I hope you're able to clear your mind of the negative emotions this has stirred up in you so you can move forward with your day in peace. Good luck on your journey, my friend.

[@christsciple]

@@AnthonyVicino Not triggered, simply pointing out where you're lacking in content and how that makes you an exact copy of all the existing folks out there. Clearly you interpreting that as me having "negative emotions" says more about your character and how you respond to a little criticism then anything else. It's a disservice to the many folks who are looking at ways to become successful and claw their way out of poverty so they can live the life they want. I'd encourage you to re-read my initial reply to you in the hopes that you might learn something valuable, and it'd be great to see it reflected in the content you're creating. More than happy to schedule a public meeting to discuss and network around the TC area. Cheers!

[@AnthonyVicino]

@@christsciple It sounds as though you have some amazing insights and personal experiences worth sharing with the world. Instead of using your energy to "call out others" like myself in the form of anonymous comments on KZbin, perhaps your time and energy would be better spent building a platform and audience where you share your message. I've got to imagine that'll have a more positive impact than the current strategy. Hope you have an amazing day, brother.

[@christsciple]

​@@AnthonyVicino Appreciate the kind words. I don't have an interest in being a content creator or selling courses to folks, especially when the folks in need of help are the least able to afford to pay for courses and content. Instead, I use some of my time to call out folks on YT and bring greater awareness to their audiences. This is in part how I use all my positive energy - by not turning a blind eye to those seeking to profit off of the very people they claim to be helping or wanting to help. Suggesting to folks to "just go into real-estate bro" is not always a good strategy nor can many folks afford to do so. There are other ways and oftentimes more appropriate ways to build wealth outside of just fleecing folks. It's a shame to see, especially when it's occurring in our city. Feel free to prove me wrong, I want you to! Cheers!

[@aisharicci6400]

@@christsciple I would be interested to learn from you. I am a mother of 3 living in Kenya and currently unemployed.

great video, thank you for the dedication to craft. Which were the top five books you suggest reading?

[@AnthonyVicino]

Thank you! If you check the description in th video you'll find a link to Amazon where I've compiled a bunch of my favorite books (including some investing, money, and personal finance books).

Downtown Minneapolis library! I was there when it opened in 06! Love the twin cities

Yes! Good eye!

"Most books are just 1 page of interesting content surrounded by 300 pages of fluff." - this 100% true

Would love to see a template of your daily audit journal. I think it's a great idea and would love to know how you do yours.

[@AnthonyVicino]

It's pretty basic, to be honest. Nothing fancy.

[@mariekruger1806]

@Anthony Vicino, where and how do I learn the rules of money?

[@AnthonyVicino]

My favorite book for people new to the game is The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel.

[@d.l.l.6578]

Paul’s quote in 1 Timothy 6:6 “But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.”

[@AnthonyVicino]

Interesting

Thank you for the video. Thank you for the advice. Coming at a very needed time. Keep up the good stuff

If you had listed out your top 10 books from the 100 at the end, that would've made this the ultimate video.

Do you have a video explaining the complexities of taxes? Or do you recommend finding someone to help with that? How about formation of a business?

[@AnthonyVicino]

Taxes aren't my area of expertise. I recommend this guys' channel: www.youtube.com/@AccountingStuff

[@MexicoAdventurer]

My book library is ENORMOUS. I have 6,700 books. Mostly in storage until my new house is completed. How many of them have I read? About 25%. I'm waiting to sit in my own library for hours per day.

[@AnthonyVicino]

That's rad. I have a rule that I'm not allowed to display any books I haven't read. I've got 100s sitting in a box just waiting for the day they get to grace the shelves!

[@MexicoAdventurer]

@Anthony Vicino Good rule. I have an index of those I've created and those I haven't. I go through them pretty slowly since I'm so busy lately, even though I retired almost a decade ago. I retired one other time for a period of time from age 28 to age 34, to travel the world, and read a slew of books in that time, probably 1 or 2 per week.

Great message and delivery, property is tops but be prepared for abject misery if you get an exploitative tenant, it's all a question of luck, pre-screening can reduce the risk.

Thanks, Callum! You can check out a pretty comprehensive list of all the books I've read by checking out my Goodreads account. Just go over there and search my name and then you should be able to look through my reading list.

Leading by example is what matters in regards to money, you either learn to make it work for you, and how to leverage it, or you dont.

[@AnthonyVicino]

Your money is either working for you, or you're working for it. There is no third option.

[@brain4thoughts]

Right

"Money doesn't care who it belongs to". I made that one up myself after I failed at HELOC 101. Really enjoy your channel. I guessed right on all of your questions. You would smile if you saw my Budget & CoL spreadsheets! Sadly, I can't convince anyone in my family or my girlfriend even to start paying attention and keep a budget. If you are ever out this way I'll buy you lunch. Best regards from the west coast of Canada! ss

[@AnthonyVicino]

Appreciate it, man. I might take you up on that lunch someday. So frustrating how simple it is to keep a budget and track expenses, and yet so many people refuse to do it.
