I Lost ALL My Money [Here’s what I learned]

[@marias8007]

Privilege is a currency to make the world a better place. I love this

[@lynnoorman2144]

What a brilliant video! This should be shown in all schools. We, in the comfortable West are not greatful enough.

[@chemistrypassionmusic4358]

Coming across your channel has been an eye opening experience. Thank you for inviting us into your world. Stay blessed 💌.

[@ElAgustin]

Thanks for coming on the journey!

[@TimelordUK]

@@ElAgustin I just adore you and everything you have to say.

[@edgregory1]

Leave the hotel, enter the foodchain. As a foreigner we are considered a consumable in poor countries. Got to have a backup plan if you're robbed.

[@zetaforever4953]

True true 😂

[@tamib64]

What a wonderful presentation of very important information. My husband was robbed in Rome, much the same way. It was the last day of our trip and I had exhausted all "my money" and we were using "his money" and he had it taken by a gypsy outside the Vatican museum. That museum only accepted cash. Needless to say, we were counting every last coin we had to get into this once in a lifetime opportunity. The gypsy got about $500 and we got a lesson on how to manage cash and emergencies. It also made me more aware of the plights some people are experiencing in my path that I might aid. God bless you on your path.

Nice hedge.

Very well said. Incredible wisdom you're pouring on us. Thank you.

[@jimmiepatrum]

Truly, I think this is one of your very best videos yet. I will be watching it more than once, I do believe. Thank you. Diane in NC

[@ElAgustin]

Wow, thank you!

[@colinscottie4499]

I love your video. I lived in Mexico for half a year. Thankfully I wasn't robbed. But I agree with what you said. The people there will help you out if you are a genuine case. And yes, kindness is a currency. I'm from Singapore and I've lived in the United states. Yes, things run very smoothly in the United states. Lovely. So efficient

[@ElAgustin]

Colin, thanks for the comment, la!

[@shess1640]

Top notch message…..well done! I just shared it with my brother who runs a study abroad program…in hopes he will share it with the students in over 20 countries.

[@ElAgustin]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ruthtaylor1083]

Thanks for this. You are absolutely right. You have put into words what we may know but have never put into words. I dont know S Americz but i have lived in Spain. I love the culture there and the people. My experience is also of people who will be willing to help out and go the extra mile too.

[@ElAgustin]

Absolutely!

[@mvmartie]

[@marianhunt8899]

Excellent advice

[@VerenaTraill]

I absolutely love #4 Rhetoric and #7 Privilege. To hear you put things into that perspective is really eye opening. You then mentioned character, and I had a boss once who had this poster on his office wall: "Character is something you do when no one is looking". I will never forget that saying.

[@rebeccakstrain3324]

This is one of my favorite videos, thank you so much.

[@ElAgustin]

Thanks!!!!

[@Greeneguy1963]

Kindness is definitely currency. I run a small piano tuning business and I think it’s kindness and humility that people keep using me for..maybe 80% skill and 20% showing up and being personable.

[@keith3278]

My own tip: Keep minimal quantities of (between 2-4) cards on your person on any given day; 1) A Bank card with a low daily cap for Pin and Tap. 2) ID because law. 3 & 4) Specialty Purpose card(s) that you intend to use on that given day. (Otherwise don't carry cards 3 & or 4) This also has the side benefit of cutting down on physically uncomfortable Wallet Bloat.

[@praksopheak6812]

[@Forthright131]

Excellent lesson learned. As a child, I dreamed of being in the Peace Corp. I wanted to help, experience, and understand what it was like to live in the conditions of other countries (cultures/ societies). Things happened and my dream died. I admire you and the great lessons you’ve learned and are sharing to the world. Thank you for producing such profound content.

Thanks for this video. I lost my job and fear that I would lose all my savings if I don't get a job in time. But you made me realize that even if I lose my money, I can figure out other ways to get by. I've been kind to alot of people in my life. Maybe that might become useful.

Put your money and cards in different places. Cards nearer to under garments. Not look too much as a tourist. Blend in.

Got pickpocketed on Mexico City subway. I was 20 and was caught completely off guard.

Wow so powerful! You poor thing. I'd have looked after you in an instant. You are a lovely guy. I'd have been TERRIFIED. So young. Agustin, what was the outcome of this story? How and how soon was your situation resolved? I'd love to know x

[@ElAgustin]

Charles Schwab mailed me a new card in a week! Made me a customer for life!

[@TimelordUK]

@@ElAgustin did you stay in touch with the kind hostel owner who lent you some money and let you stay in his home?

[@heyyou9839]

Don’t agree with so many of these, people standing up for themselves and placing boundaries and not accepting rude customer service can make you deal with really bad attitudes from the service industry - being compliant and silent is now called being “nice”

[@sct4040]

Last tip, always carry more than 1 wallet.

[@ElAgustin]

haha, or don't put all cards in one location. The big lesson of this experience!

[@vanessacaltabiano9775]

I remember the markets in Oaxaca Mexico having kids touch me up (hugging you), trying to steal from me. I was lucky & aware as I had kids do same to me in Africa and learned from it❤️❤️❤️

[@ElAgustin]

Haha, I was robbed from a kid once too. It's very unexpecting!

[@zetaforever4953]

But the real question is, did you learn the most important lesson of all? Never keep all your money/cards in one place when traveling. Or even at home, tbh. That's asking for trouble.

[@MsPopo81]

Do you have pluto in your 2nd house? Lol

[@mstraction]

You seem to say be kind, have humility, etc. because it will save you in the end...what about being kind and having humility just to be a better person..not for what it might do for you in the future. Seems a little jaded to me. Tell me if I am wrong.

[@josereyes1148]

You are wrong. This video is about CURRENCY meaning other ways to provide value to your life and others life besides money. So.. naturally from that perspective he is going to talk about how it is valuable as currency. He isn't just taking it from a greedy perspective.

[@mstraction]

I feel a little bad now reading the other comments everyone is uplifted by your video. But to be honest all I could think during your presentation was you were doing all these "good" things with an ulterior motive be good to others because you never know if you might need to use them in the future. What about being "good" to others without expecting anything in return?

[@keith3278]

You can't always be the hero, that just is reality.

[@miguelmartin4326]

Yes, you are right. We must do good without expecting recompense. But in Austin's case, it is easy to see that he is naturally a good hearted human.

What does novemo Chico mean? I tried googling but nada?

[@ElAgustin]

"Nos Vemos Chico" In some parts of Venezuela they drop the "s" and I always thought it sounds very friendly and funny so I like to finish with that. "See you later," but much funner than the normal Spanish way!
