Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect my funds and make profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

Step One: Ignore any celebrity Step Two: Stop comparing Step Three: Buy ONLY what you need. If money if left over, then buy ONLY minimal amount of something to you just enjoy. Step Four: Put everything else into savings, such as a simple account at Fidelity and use some mixture of index funds. Step Five: Be married to a person who has simple taste and enjoys simple living. Step Six: Think of money as security (like a blanket) and not as something to actually spend constantly. Step Seven: Try to get to where you can live simple life on your passive income from your brokerage.

The best years of my life were when I sold everything, packed a bag, and lived in a park for three and a half years while I worked and saved all my money. Never spent a dime on anything. Complete and total freedom in the truest sense of the word. The more money I saved, the less important it became because I also learned how to get by without it. Maximizing money while minimizing dependence on it is peak freedom.

People work hard, honest (and yes, smart too), in this system, but the only one who's getting rich are the very few who own what the worker has produced/invented/generated. This is how the system works and only a few lucky individuals can escape it. If workers start to learn about their own's class true value and power, and how to organize, only then things can change for the better.

All thanks to the Prussian model of education, aimed at making soldier citizens, hence why schools look like prisons, with alarm rings for recess time, prison like hallways and whatnot. It’s only missing the bars. The US and the west imported that but aimed at the industrial side of things: to use that system to create drone workers, soon after income tax came in. It’s hard to not believe it was a master plan, but that would be giving too much credit I think.

That makes life complicated and confuses people into using money to try new experiences, hoping to be happy.

I didn't last long at both jobs, I can't work like a robot. I'm not in a hurry to find another job.

Most of us are running on the hamster wheel indefinitely. We work just to maintain our basic lives. I'm someone who has made little money and struggled and who made a very comfortable income which requires more money. I can say without a doubt that having more money does make me more happy, safe and secure in my life. Money isn't buying happiness directly, it buys not being worried, stressed and insecure. A side effect of not having those negatives is being relatively happy.

It’s really not 10$ spent. It not taking into account rent, or if you own your house there’s a basic cost of certain things as well. The truth is because he’s a millionaire it only feels to him like he spends $10 a day. Most people out there have to spend almost their whole paycheck on rent. It’s bleak out there right now. There’s a very big difference between a millionaire and a lower class person who has to squabble at these low paid abusive jobs endless just to have basic needs met.

@@justshowup6207 You’re not getting my point. You expect to be homeless? You realize that if you own a house fully paid off, there’s still many expenses which come with that. In many nice areas property tax is thousands of dollars a year. And what about transportation? What about other things that come up out of the blue and end up costing you a lot ? My point is that food is the least of your worries when it comes to the daily cost of just existing. Even if you decide to live in a car, there’s a lot of expenses involved in just keeping the car going.

My trading mentor (ex futures pit trader) once told me the same thing this channel has, and that was in 2003! He said "I don't need all this money to live! All I need is $100k, trading just allows me to do other things and live how i want to live. The living large idea is not real it's all bullshit, most millionaires or higher don't own what they have...its rented, the house, the lambo the whole lot, its all a fallacy, if you own it then your tied down, its about control not ownership. Being liquid is king" I've never forgotten that. Thanks for your channel your doing a great job! Keep it up. 👍🏻

Once your bills are covered is the key phrase there. My bills go up every year when it comes to cost for rent, energy to heat/cool my home, fuel for my car, medical insurance, not to mention sale taxes, car registration fees, and then there is income tax itself. Nothing is getting any cheaper, yet companies still want to pay the same. So you kind of have to keep chasing the dollar just to keep ahead of rising costs of living. Maybe once you have achieved a certain threshold of financial saving or passive income, allowing you to confidently cover all of your bills, then you can have the luxury of not having to worry about making money. I don't know how that feels as I have been working hard my entire life just to make ends meet, let alone have the money to buy luxury goods.

Back when I was looking at colleges, I included some military academies, because I had no money. The military academies are all fully paid as long as you enlist. As part of the pre admission program for one of the ROTC programs, they put us through a week of simulated Basic Training. Basic Training Lite you might call it, just it give us a taste of living on a military base and seeing what the program was all about. The instructor gave out Demerits (little white slips of paper indicating you'd done something wrong) like he was passing out business cards. Bad posture, not closing a door properly, breaking formation during PT, etc. He dominated us for a week handing out demerits left and right. But, he gave the most profound speech at the end of the week, about how some people spend their entire lives being ruled over by little slips of paper. I didn't enlist, but that speech was maybe one of the most important messages I learned in high school.

You haven't been duped, money is just a favour system. You need to earn your favours, you can't expect them to be handed out to you as a freebie, someone had to do hard work to give you your favours. Our system is just rigged because the rich can get their favours to earn more favours whilst doing absolutely nothing. Until the government balances this out from necessity or a civil war occurs where the poor majority take back the wealth from the rich minority (eg. China), you will need to work hard not to get left behind. This is quite achievable in most of the world (probably don't even need to work that hard). Only over populated places like India and China make it seem like it's a hopeless case.

But he also generalizes a lot and makes weird, nonsensical statements. For example, perhaps I prefer a car that I have to drive because it's part of the fun to drive and control it. Also, as long as batteries are produced in harmful, non-environmentally-friendly, unsustainable ways, electric vehicles are kind of a satirical joke. I agree with him on one thing: you don't necessarily need millions and overpriced luxury items to be happy; just one million will do it, lol. What people miss here is that money also provides a lot of freedom, opportunities, and improved quality of life, to some extent. For example, whether you have 3 million or 1 billion, there will be barely any difference in life quality. You can still buy the healthiest food, purchase one or several decent cars, travel several times a year, and afford decent hotels without having to rely on hostels filled with strangers, some of whom might snore, lol, or deal with other inconveniences. So when people say money won't buy happiness, they either mean overpriced luxury items and lifestyles or they are simply being hypocritical, as they have the money to live a quite privileged life which they stop appreciating or never appreciated in the first place. For instance, they have a decent car, can buy healthy food, travel several times a year, pay any medical bills, afford wellness or extra treatments to improve their health and overall wellbeing, decide not to work, help or support friends, and never have to worry about any financial issues. These are things they often take for granted and would never give up, yet they have the nerve to tell you that money is not that important.

Being rich is more about a feeling. It's a feeling you cannot replicate or fake, you cannot claim that you don't have it because you don't want it anyway. It is unlike any feeling in the world. The sad part is just that so few people get to experience it.

This is what I've been trying to explain to people for so long but for some reason they just dont get it. What's the point of buying all this luxury items? To impress other people? Why let other people's opinions affect who you are? It's a waste of effort to go out and be wearing all these luxury items when you know all too well after the club you are just going to slip back into your sweatpants and eat microwavable food

I’ve always worked diligently and did everything to the best of my abilities because It was something I wanted to do. Money was never a motivating factor. Granted I wouldn’t work where I do if they didn’t pay me. But I’m never thinking about how much I’m making while I’m working. Funny enough that same thought process is what gained me more money. The less I think about it the more I make. I’m an “employee” and by all rights I could have started my own company years ago, but I just don’t want the headache of managing it. Sure I can make way more money. But I will also be committing myself to doing things I don’t want to do. As of now I can drop everything and walk away. I’m as free as I can be. My problem is the more I grow to understand what makes me happy, the less I find worth doing. Good video man.

You're making relevant points. I have always ponder on the concept of money. After listening to an official that worked for a past secretary of state discuss about how money is a concept and with different curriences you cannot truly run out of money regarding government. But because of other reasons there are all of these stipulations put onto society as a whole, just confirmed what I thought and what you are saying Sir.

"Education trains you to be a rat" I think this is the most true (for me) because it allowed me to rationalize my debt. The first 40k for my engineering bachelor's has definitively netted positive ROI for me. But I then assumed that taking out more for a masters was worth the much higher premium. 20k more and 2 semesters later I realized that an AWS Solutions Arch Cert or something else relevant is literally thousands of times more valuable in terms of negotiating power and real income. Keep it cheap friends. The whole reason we got into software was to reduce overhead right?

Money stops being important when you already have it. I think ppl fight for money because they are afraid to be in a situation where they can't sustain themselves or their loved ones. I don't really think most of the ppl hoards money to show off. I would be great to watch a video about exactly that, how much money do you need to stop worrying about it anymore and enjoy life. Simple thing, 2 approaches, single person and family of 4, spouse and 2 kids. Life expectancy 80 y, car, travel once a year, decent house and retirement fund.

Enjoyed the video. There is a lot more to life than money. People who put most of their focus on material things tend to be shallow and unhappy. However, I do enjoy having a bit of money saved and invested. I like the fact that if I earned nothing over the next year, I'd be fine. It's nice to know that if my car needed a major repair job, or there was a medical emergency, I could cover it. Money, to me, is stored freedom. If you have enough of it, it takes unnecessary stress out of your life and gives you options. Everyone's balance is different.

I'm 30 and began to feel more comfortable financially in the last few years, and everything he is saying rings true to me. I used to work extra hours, hustle, buy and sell cars for extra $...but once your financially comfortable, you realize the simple things in life bring the most contentment. Sure a yacht, and a billionaire lifestyle would be awesome, but our minds get used to it and it's not so much a big deal eventually.

@smartwater598 Using a yacht as an exaggerated theoretical, because once you own the cars you like, the house you're happy with and a bunch of other material things, what's next? unless you shoot for the stars and forge a multi-million dollar business to get what? a bigger house that requires more cleaning? a super sports car that requires high level maintenance, insurance and being scared to park it anywhere, or as i mentioned a yacht, that sits in the bay most of the time cos youre too busy making sure your business is maintained simply to maintain your lifestyle? What i was saying is that once you have achieved the basic necessities in modern day life, everything else would be great if it fell on your lap like a fantasy or winning tattslotto, but to earn and maintain those things, it takes alot of extra stress and attentiveness that very few people have the drive for until it throws out the balance of happiness which is really truly within. Money and material things bring an injection of satisfaction, but not contentment. You raise your lifestyle bar and get used to it. It will most likely become a constant effort to maintain. Otherwise, anything below that bar becomes a negative, that unless you started from the bottom will just depress you. Only those that come from the bottom remember what the bar used to be and appreciate.

@@jokerpilled2535 spot on. 85%+ of the people aren’t rich by any means, most of us struggle and hustle. 75% are either obese or overweight 50%+ of marriages end up in divorces 5% only of couples self report being actually happy with their chosen man and finances. There, that’s quite the picture regarding finances, well being and relationships separately… now, hitting the jackpot on ALL of them at the same time is ridiculously low probability. The trick is right here in this video, live minimally, spend a whole lot less than what you make, work the least possible, spend that free time on yourself: health, family, reading, learning, whatever floats your boat. Don’t know what the commenter wanted to get at, maybe just attack you personally for some frivolous gratuitous narcissistic reason… maybe he has all such things, but the numbers say between the few here on this thread, the chances of that are very low.
