Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience Ken. It's extremely hard not to smile all the time lately. I had the epiphany that I'm on a never ending learning journey and everything has blossomed into a different optimism level I never dreamed of.....now taking the action part, well.... that's on you 😁, just kidding. Keep making videos Ken, they are appreciated, you are the man!

[@ToblerX]

Self made millionaire here. My business colleagues and I are constantly grappling with the challenge of how to raise our kids to keep them grounded and "hungry". My business partner took his 4 kids to Rwanda for several months to help build a school. The town had no clean running water. He wanted to give his kids true perspective. My solution is to never let them know we are wealthy. They truly have no idea and I want to keep it that way, while training them how to view money and how to invest. Their friends are children of the "high paid w2" Ken speaks of. They have every toy imaginable, as do their parents. Meanwhile, my kids are perfectly happy wearing 2nd hand clothes, or shoes from Wal-Mart. Despite high wages, many of these parents are living paycheck to paycheck. It's mind blowing to me. Anyway, my 2 cents. Great video as always Ken! Hopefully we can meet up the next time you're in Denver. Update: Kids just completed their first successful lemonade stand. They set up at garage sales and raked in over $150. They served 2 version, pink with Strawberries and yellow with Lemons along with snacks. It was 100% their idea. Super proud of them.

[@yashpatel261]

I think shoes from walmart is pushing it a bit. Why not buy a pair every few years like regular people. I think spending time with them will be more valuable than any material item. Its what really counts in the end.

[@ToblerX]

@@yashpatel261 they're really young, so they go through shoes very quickly. No reason to overspend on quality. Also, could not agree more on spending time with them. I coach my son's soccer team, attend all his boy scout trips and ski with them both every weekend. Time is for sure the most valuable thing.

[@stocksxbondage]

Competition is a good way to build those mental callouses. Sports and even art like music. Maybe our kids won’t desire to exceed financial freedom into abundance. As long as they’re happy, healthy, and have the discipline to push the legacy without us, money won’t matter. Another idea is to let them know they’re only getting a portion and most of your wealth is being donated 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@NealBurkard-ut1oo]

My dad is pretty well off but I was expected to work as soon as I could. Caddy when I was 14, once I was 16 I worked 40 hr/week during my summers in HS and college. Went to a private school with a lot of spoiled kids. A lot still had drive though, just dick personality

@@stocksxbondage I go back and forth on the donation. It would make me proud to be the one who started a generational legacy. But it might make me even prouder to teach my kids how to fish.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

[@Buffet-walton22]

Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth , investing remains a priority . I learnt from my last year's experience , I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time .

[@lilyhershey1]

Exactly ! That's my major concern and what lucrative investment can one venture into with the current rise in economic downturn

[@sloanmarriott5]

In fact, I had no prior experience or understanding when I began investing in 2018, but by the end of 2019, I had made a profit of almost $750k. All I had been doing was going by what my financial advisor had told me. This demonstrates that all you truly need is a professional to assist you; you don't even need to be a great investor or put in a lot of work.

[@mellon-wrigley3]

​ *@sloanmarriott5* That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this consultant?

[@sloanmarriott5]

Gertrude Margaret Quinto is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.

[@JefferyDuns]

Financial stability is possibly the greatest thing one can attain. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. I believe every Investor should start with ETFs for a solid foundation, then diversify across asset classes and maintain disciplined, regular investing to minimize risks and maximize growth.

[@PhilipDunk]

An obvious way to invest is to buy shares in businesses that are likely to experience steady demand even in a downturn. Typically, those are consumer staples, utilities, and healthcare companies, but off course such decisions cannot be made by an average Joe, a financial advisr is important in making this decisions

[@9xqspx6]

The worst is that they don't just want some of it, but they are happy if they can cause you too lose some (or all) of it. Nowadays this new-communistic movement (as I call it) is in a self-amplifying rage against anyone who has $2 more than they do. They also sort of resemble a 3rd or 4th generation that Ken was talking about in the video. Although not of a wealthy family, but of a family that was having a good, comfortable life, compared to the earlier generations.

[@RicardoDinizPortugal]

In Portugal, we have a old saying that translates to "Rich Father, Noble Son, Poor Grandson". You're spot on, Ken. Safe travels and all the best.

[@spivvo]

I was one of those corporate people but I never went out and spunked money on new top end cars, first class flights for top end holidays and ridiculous supermexpensive “look at me” posy restaurants, I also inherited about a third of my my current wealth when my parents left this world. Result, I retired at 55 and live very comfortably and set my own agenda with an investment portfolio of just over $10mil. I still travel with the ordinary folk turning right on the passenger jet but stay in nice hotels, eat in nice restaurants and live in a beautiful house. I spend no more than half of my net passive income and the rest gets reinvested to grow my capital. The trade in life is money for time…. Save the money and you get more time. If I had $100mil I still wouldn’t buy a jet. Good video.

[@DudeWatIsThis]

You shouldn't aim to be a billionaire. It's stupid. Aim for 2-3 million. Maybe 5. Maybe 10. That will give you more than you can spend, unless you are a crazy-level consumer (which you won't be if you have made your own fortune - your mind will be somewhere else, like in personal projects, writing books or meeting people, which can be expensive, but not ridiculously so).

[@DudeWatIsThis]

@SplendidJoshua Trading is _degenerate gambling._ To make money, you need discipline. Find someone who can reliably give you 7-8% and stick to that. Your money doubles every 10 years. After 30 years, it's x8. Then once you have that going, just work and keep feeding that fire with your savings.

[@DudeWatIsThis]

@SmallSavage-un5xz There are many broker companies and hedge funds. Go to one of those. Most will ask for a minimum amount, so go to several and see which fits you best. You won't meet any "genius brokers" until you're in the 8 figures, probably.

[@BadMannerKorea]

I inherited money. I bought a new car, put most of it in index funds, and I will use the rest to live off of to fund my PhD.

Sounds like a lofty wish list but I'm not about to spend all my life on earth just to die then get to the otherside realizing I could've done/had more .....if I just asked

I wanted to see the world and thought I could only be able to see when I die but God brought me all over the world.

[@mattskillman]

Ken, your 1st, 2nd, 3rd Generation analysis is SPOT ON. I have always said this exact thing. Having worked for a small family business before building my own, I have observed this first hand. The 1st Generation starts with nothing and builds value which generates wealth that the 2nd Generation eventually gets to benefit from. The 2nd Generation sees the hard work of the previous Generation and can relate, but grows up with the wealth from the 1st Generation. By the time the 3rd Generation comes around, they have become so detached from everything the 1st Generation did and being raised in wealth from the 2nd Generation that they don't know how to grow or maintain it. That's why a lot of small family business fail by the 3rd Generation.

[@AlexandreGalinMtl]

There s a saying that says it takes 3 generations to destroy a fortune.

[@4453kevin1]

this is 100% true

[@cesarguardiola4045]

Why then do families like the Rothschild's and the Morgan's still have unimaginable wealth throughout multiple generations?

[@JimmyLeeJr]

That's a strong rule for people who don't understand that parenting is the most important part of wealth building. But there are dynasties spanning centuries which understood parenting is just as important as what you accomplish in your lifetime. Meaning true success can come from hard work you put in, but do not see the benefits for several decades or maybe even not at all. Now we should debate who is more successfull, the hard working entrepreneur who achieves success after 5 years or the patriarch who achieves success after 50 years. We are ruled today by the latter, but the short termers get the newspaper headlines. In the end, the civilizational infrastructure always wins. Meaning there is always a bank you need a loan from, and they have been watching your family for quite some time.

[@hoaksone1]

One of the finest expressions of wealth wisdom I've ever heard, and I've seen many others, and they are truly great and filled with wisdom, too. But this one by Ken is so rich in common day language, and should be seen -- and re-seen, and re-seen again and again -- by every teenager and young adult. A big Thank You, Ken, for all that you do to bring the value of hard word and the joys of achievement and success to so many. The greatness of America is that it provides the soil (freedoms and legal protections) for people like Ken to reap the reward of hard work. In too many countries, -- nearly all others, imho -- private achievements are quashed or stolen by government or the existing oligarchs who choose their government puppets.

Time, Money, Health, and Social Capital (strong spousal relationship in my case) are the four asset classes. My mentor said it is very common to be wealthy in one or two of these categories, but not all four. Before I became a FIRE retiree in 2020 at age 45, I made sure I was abundant in all four areas. FYI INTJ / INTP personality types are the majority of folks who make up the FIRE community.

Your comment on generational appreciation for money I think is spot-on!

He lovingly says, No Thank You, Mom ❤️❤️❤️ I raised him as a single mom to use a debit card for purchases until he built his own credit that is well managed. He stands to be the sole heir to more than he even realizes. That being said, I divide my assets as needed for his own generational wealth. He does not plan to marry or have children so he will need to decide how to continue creating additional wealth and/or donation to a foundation I’m creating.

I like this side of Ken. Glad he’s been sharing these parts of his life.

Thank you for the valuable advice, Ken. ❤️

[@josephlugo5707]

Thank you . Great great advice. 👍🏻👍🏻

You didn’t mention the depression part. There is nobody you can trust, people suck up to you constantly so you never know if someone is a friend or just using you. Sometimes you can’t even trust your closest relatives. Having money sucks more than it makes you happy.

Ok give it to me

Thanks for sharing. I love the analogy of the treadmill. The irony is very few people, even wealthy people, realize that we are all on a treadmill where your desires end up controlling you. It seems contradictory, but it's only by needing less that we can achieve true freedom.

[@ypey1]

Facts… wanting allot of things is not freedom at all

[@Pondapple]

Hedonic treadmill.

[@johnbubble1]

You teach your kids to be good people and you lead by example. Doesn’t matter how much money you have. You just have to be a good person.

[@terranceOwens777]

Thank you for sharing. Right now, all the businesses that have started didn't work out. I'm not going to give up.

[@1469roach]

Amazing advice!!! Ive flown in over 10 private jets..different sizes.. and spent 30 to 40k a month a gucci, LV and other clothes store a month..it was all a waste.. but i did that because i never really had money and i went crazy trying to show people how now i had it.. but when the company dropped from making 3 million a month to 1 million.. my lifestyle i got use to had to change...but then i realized that one alot of the friends that were around before was because of the trips on thr mega yachts ... now im trying to get back.. but no lo ger care about the designer clothes or burning 50 to 60k tonfly to Miami and throw another 50k at strippers.. smh.. was a crazy time.. but just as fast as it came its gone and no one cares..just another person out there doing it. Anyway.. i love this video.. such amazing advice! True knowledge right there

Thank you for your insight. Helps to show respect to my parents and hopefully keep me somewhat grounded 😂😂.

Love the vibe, pace, mojo. Solid meat & data to digest. No social media hype. New sub.

[@herbigp]

Ken, I have been following you since you first got together with Robert Kiyosaki. I am free now thanks to you and Robert!! Can you do some videos on how you plan for your next 3-5 generations to retain and build on what you have accomplished? I just recently read “Die with zero” and that book may have flipped my paradigm… Thanks 🙏

[@moonbot-en-007]

good for you living off of the exorbitant rentals making life impossible for so many many people just trying to get by .. not even talking about the younger generation that can't afford a simple place to live .. grown people having to rent rooms .. I'm from the US and left when gas was $1.00 a gallon france is still normal when you get out of the city .. I pay $500 a month rent for a 2 bedroom house with garages .. I can't even imagine moving back to the US ..because I don't want to live out in the desert someplace in a trailer home, I'm too old now to find a 5 figure a month job .. especially now with AI replacing so many jobs .. an the kids are lost .. ex: my daughter went to school to learn graphic design now she's got no career and my other daughter who has a PhD in architecture probably also will be soon out of a career .. but yes good for you .. I stopped watching your video at 10,000 rentals .. may god have mercy on your soul

[@farmingfromscratch]

unfortunately most of the folks watching this vid think what he is doing is great behavior, they don't get the fact that what he is doing is stealing! and yes to all those who would say no he isn't physically taking money from those renters without their consent,- they have consented to pay that rent, I would say you cannot have uncoerced consent in a system that uses duress (ie taxes people under threat of harm). When you don't exchange time for time, you are either robbing somebody or being robbed, and the responsibility lies with us individually to make the right choice! Imagine the time he owes back to others! that's a lot of bad karma! cheers

[@frixosfriedman7813]

He's the beneficiary of a system that is rigged in favour of rich people. In this system you need money to make money. It's nearly impossible to do so otherwise. The trick is to inherit money, and if you fail that, try again!

[@prudence_business]

Amazing video, Kenny!!!! I really enjoyed it and found it educational.🎉

[@hritulnawale6213]

Thank you so much Sir, appreciate a lot

[@jacobtt34]

Awesome Video Ken as always.....

[@xavieranderson538]

Mind blowing knowing we are in the 0.0001 of the population gaining this knowledge at this specific time

[@redtiger7268]

Knowledge without action is useless.

[@beefchampion2792]

What kinds of knowledge are you gaining, my friend? That Ken is ultra rich and we're financial ants compared to him? 🤣

[@xavieranderson538]

⁠@@beefchampion2792what it takes

[@leeroach3381]

Very helpful Thank you for sharing

[@ahsanmohammed1]

Excellent advice! Thank you! From Canada

[@kylendmiller]

Great advice, Ken

[@dannyboy9715]

As a normal Eastern European (poor, by western standards), I can tell you what the real issue is - when you grow up poor, you see your parents struggle, all your friends and their families struggle, there's maybe one kid who is a bit better off but that's it, your brain is wired differently. You cannot even imagine having more money, you think you don't deserve it. ''My parents worked their butts off and they didn't earn that much, why should I be paid so much''? When a wealthy person speaks about money and opportunities, it sounds like a scam to us.

[@H..M..]

I think that is only part of it. I think there is a shift that happens as well. I know people who bought their first rental property in their early 20’s and started a small business - because that is what their parents do. I came from middle class parents who taught me to be frugal, but didn’t teach me what to do when I acquired some wealth. You need someone to teach you how to invest and diversify and if you don’t get that, you might earn a couple million over your lifetime, but you won’t earn the several or tens of millions you could earn if you took risk and invested in real estate and other things.

[@TM-tw1py]

Incredibly enlightening video - especially for those having are seeking to have very high or ultra high net worth.

[@danielroper18]

Terrific video! I loved it. Thanks for the wisdom

[@naoh619]

Great video, It true as each generation it seems they get more and more entitle.

[@c40blaze76]

I’m going to the UFC fight in June too. I thought me spending $1000 on tickets was a lot 😂

[@mitchvelazquez2539]

This is the first video I’ve watched from you and I’m subscribing ! Hell of a video! Do you do mentorship ?

[@Taipanablack]

Thank you, Ken, for clarification of my vision

[@bunsguns8222]

Great video, I would be interested to know how much you actually work and how much that has changed at different levels. I assume when you started you had to work all the time until you could afford to hire people to run the business for you? This has been a big hang up for me, the businesses I have thought about starting would require me to work more than I do now at my job until it grew enough to be able to hire managers.
