How to be rich. 1) don't borrow money for things that loose money i.e. car payments. 2) don't spend money you don't have. 3) Be happy with yourself and quit spending money to try to impress others. All I can think of right now.

[@appleiphone69]

Don’t spend money frivolously. Drinking at bars, dinners out. Overspending on clothes.

[@DeadSeriousOfficial]

Very true! People get so caught up in cars and how they look to the world it's sad really. They are willing to live in debt and always be a slave to a dollar bill instead of have it work for them all to "Look Ritch". They should teach kids in school the importance of money managing in a real world sense. A class about common money mistakes, how to avoid them and how to spend differently would've been very beneficial to any student that took the class. Do you invest by the way?

[@mjp5429]

DeadSeriousOfficial I'll add this. I'm not rich, nor have I ever been rich. But in life I've learned to stretch a dollar and set my priorities. Everytime I buy some high dollar item, with cash someone has to ask "Where do you get all your money?" If only they knew how little money I had. But here's the take away. The richest men I've ever known wore old clothes and drove old vehicles. Those in the designer names and brand new cars have sold their souls to the banker.

Absolutely because while I was under a medical crisis which led to a wrongful arrest which I was legally cleared but I still owe the D.m.v. in NY I used to say " I will never pay it, due to principals." Now I realize I must it isn't about what is fair or isn't fair, life is not fair and everyone has ups and downs and a sob story! I either choose to pay the fines and any surcharges or it will spill over into my member state of NJ and I won't have a license! I need my license. Losing a license over principals when it doesn't result in officially changing any legislation and when you are the only one that is missing out and literally paying higher in insurance rates in the meantime just isn't worth it. As soon as I have all the money I will pay it no matter what and I will never ever do this again I don't care how much interest has accumulated it is my duty to pay it and it will!

[@jakobrosser7587]

@@ryandelsignore good points and I agree with all. Most people who pick up these books generally haven't had a lot of success, hence their reason for picking up the book. Failure often leads them to read these books. And sadly, most don't identify thwir failure points. My take is the individual needs to take a market analysis and honest self-assessment before they read the book so their content is absorbed with proper context and expectations. Edit: Concepts like buying assets and paying yourself first is absolutely rock solid for anyone though. I cannot take that away from Kiyosaki or Clayson. Those two ideas have done well for me.

The problem is, we don't have good investment advice in the world. Even the financial advisors are fake and they are simply ordered to be fund sellers. You won't find out you don't have enough to retire until you are 65. Then it's too late.

[@matthewr2361]

Financial advisors make money off of your money. If you lose money, they don't make any money. If you make a lot of money, they do as well. So it's in their best interest to make you the most money possible with what you choose to invest and where you choose to invest it.

[@piperar2014]

Index funds.

[@matthewr2361]

nationwidebw I don't think you've ever actually talked to a financial advisor. You've just seen how they're portrayed in movies. Not trying to be an asshole by saying that. As an example, if you go into an Edward Jones and talk to an advisor they will walk you through every step, ask how you want to invest, the risks you're comfortable with, and tell you the percentage they take as a result of what you make. If they are making you negative dollars, they aren't earning anything more than their salary. They'll also usually tell you that good growth stock mutual funds are the way to invest, since most middle class families are only able to set aside 1 - 5,000 a year. A mutual fund is money safely spread over a bunch of different stocks meaning it's the safest way to invest. You can even pick the mutual funds you want to invest in and they will show you their market history, potential, and their rate of return over the course of its lifetime. If you max out your roth IRA from age 25 to 65, at a rate of return of 12%, you'll only have invested $220,000, but have over $5,000,000 when it's time to start dipping into it and it's tax free because roth taxes you in the front and not on the back end. It is also a tax write off so its money from your income the government doesn't tax you on. That's real investing that regular average people do who are just plumbers and electricians or teachers. They're called "the millionaires next door". Live modestly, save, take advantage of IRA's, 401K's, etc. And you will have a substantial amount of money to retire with. Don't fear what you don't know. The average person doesn't get rich because they don't save and invest. They get a house they can't afford, a car payment, get into student loan debt, run up a credit card bill, and soon lose power over their most powerful wealth building tool, their income. What good is $50,000 - $70,000 a year if you have to pay 80% of it at the end of the month to banks who've lent you money? Buy a $3,000 car cash. Rent a cheap place. Save your money. Pay off all debts ASAP. Wait till the market dips and buy a house you can afford. Pay 20% down to avoid PMI. Your mortgage should be less than 30% of your income. Start maxing out your retirement opportunities. If your company has a 401K, you should go with it. If not you have IRAs available. By 62 you'll be set to retire and live a very nice life. I'm 21 and have over $30,000 in my IRAs after investing under $10,000. And plan to start investing more when my income rises. If you can just set aside $100 a month to put into an IRA or 401K after 30 years you'll have a million dollars. People can do it, they choose not to.

[@DeadSeriousOfficial]

NOPE! Financial advisors make a commission on stocks you buy and sell they get a commission profit with every transaction. They don't care if you lose money they make it regardless and most don't recommend stocks based upon your actual preference they do it based on helping the business or firm they represent. They are programmed to help the people they work for not the people that work for them.

[@jimschuman9926]

Poor people buy new cars rich people by new tires. I make 60k a year and save , invest 1/3 to 1/2 of it every year. Guess that's why I'm a millionaire at 54. Live below your means. Ignore the 'Jones" (they're probably broke anyway). Make saving / investing money a game by setting goals to save x amount of money each month and stick with it. Read books to learn more (knowledge is power). Work hard (I average 55-65 hrs a week). Start your own business like I did 26 years ago (construction). Had I kept working for someone else I would not be where I am now. I was scared to death to go out on my own but I worked my a$$ off and have always had work because I treated people right. Think for yourself and don't follow the crowd (be yourself). Lastly, be thankful for what you have and where you are because someone else is always worse off.

[@bradycremeans8830]

Jim Schuman how did you start investing? What did you invest in?

[@jimschuman9926]

Brady Cremeans I had a IRA set up for retirement when I was working for an employer. Then when I started my own business I had a lot more money that I could invest. I opened an investment account through a bank and the money was invested into mutual funds. Then later on after my stock portfolio was worth a lot more I transferred my account to a higher end investment company where the portfolio is more diversified. Owning my business allows me to put a lot more money into retirement accounts and at the same time it lowers my income which means lower taxes. I was 29 when I started taking saving for retirement more serious. I don't know your age but my advice is start as early as possible. Compounding is an awesome tool. Go talk to a investment agent at a bank to set up an account. Even a 100 dollars a month will add up over many years. Good luck!

Some people don't understand the power of time and compound interest. If you invested a fixed amount only once and it grew 50% in 10 years without you lifting a finger, that's already decent ROI of about 4.7% per year. Remember, your principal is still intact plus the interest. This is not even counting for your other savings during the 9 years you've supposedly been investing as well.

Critical flaw in all these types of videos is assuming that the rich are that way because of habits or actions they took to accumulate wealth. The truth is that the majority of wealth in the U.S is inherited and not earned. And when you have enough, it earns more all by itself. If you start with 1 billion, it is virtually impossible to spend it down faster than your ROI, without any secrets at all.

[@knightingirl]

[@knightingirl]

And yes, it's all due to their habits and actions, maybe more than that.

[@Eric-zs6rd]

@@knightingirl Yeah it's pretty clear that you're financially clueless, Deborah. Do you even invest at all? All it takes to keep increasing wealth is time. You can take 1 bil and put it into safer investments like CDs, index funds, etc like us normal people do with our retirement funds, and you can follow the same 4 percent safe withdrawal rule without touching the original 1 bil. Except instead of 40k/year like normal retirees, that's 40 million dollars a year. That is money they could set on fire if they wanted to, and it wouldn't affect the original one bil that keeps producing it. No work involved, no special skills or advanced financial planning at all. And it's completely unaffected by what time of the day they wake up, how many cranberries put in their cereal or the direction you wipe your butt. 1 bil is generational money. It can take care of you and all your descendents down to eternity even if you decided your new hobby was to buy a million dollar house and burn it down for fun, even if you did that every other week, you wouldn't be able to spend enough money to affect the principle.

[@jaysmediadump6965]

Two years ago I opened my first savings account ever, worked my way up to about 10k savings on a 30k/yr payroll through ferocious savings and bought out one of my old boss’s restaurants for a small sum of money and a royalty, I am already cash flow positive and plan to spend that income to house hack a multi-unit home and live for virtually nothing. It’s all about strategy and discipline. Richest man in Babylon is my favorite book. Also I like to pick up small amounts of silver from my local dealer, they will give you decent prices if you know what you’re talking about. :)

1. Invest in land and property 2. Invest in money market (bonds, treasury, fixed deposits) in developing economies-High return on interest 3. Buy shares from emerging technology companies 4. Don’t start a business you don’t have the capacity to understand 5. The capital required for the business or investment must be reasonable and affordable 6. Spend less on luxury or earn in abundance if there’s ever anything like that to not feel it when you purchase a luxury item. 7. Spend less on women of luxury and lifestyle, there’s a lady by the corner who give you better “returns” for less 8. Don’t ever buy or invest in something you had to be convinced on. Your gut feelings is rarely wrong. 9. Save for your family-shelter, health, education and start up money 10. Know when you enjoy your hard-work and wealth, you won’t live forever.......

When I read ~The Richest man in Babylon~ the first part struck me as so true, 'pay yourself first', I had just got through a bad patch and nearly gone Bankrupt, and it was saving first then spending as little as possible that had got mre through. In fact I remember years ago, reading an Autobiography by a British Journalist called James Cameron, he constantly bemoans the fact that, if he just earned a little bit more, he would not be poor. This is a bloke with a very, very well paid job. Also I came to read 'Richest Man' because at the time I had just picked up another book, 'Ur of the Chaldees', which was written in the 1930s and was all about the Archaeological digs in Babylon, it turns out both books centre around the same people? There are literally millions of clay tablets that have survived, read 'Richest man' and the kicker is near the end, when one of the people decyphering the tablets back in Oxford, thanks the author Charles Glason,over in America and being able to read the texts because he knows someone from the US University out on the dig. He takes up his suggestions and got himself out of debt? The chap decyphering the tablets in Oxford, was working for Sir Leaonard Woolley the author of 'Ur of the Chaldees'. PS I have never been richer than now, the five Laws of Gold work. PPS The oldest joke in the world was also found at these digs, on one of the clay tablets? 1st Bloke, "I say, I say, I say, what's bound to happen when the prettiest girl in the world, sits on your knee?" 2nd bloke, "I don't know, what's bound to happen when the prettiest girl in the world, sits on your knee?" 1st Bloke , "She'll Fart."

Do the best you can at work. Make sure when you find a better job your boss regrets losing you. Be frugal. Save no matter what.

[@davidb8777]

I think this is one of the three best books on personal finance. It doesn't tell you what to invest in but it gives you an insight into the mentality you will need to get to where you want to be. The other two key books for me were Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace and Jason Kelly's Niftiest Little Guide to Personal Finance. There you have it, I spent less than $50 on these books. Put the plan into action and you will reap a million dollars in benefits! Don't get me wrong, the path will not always be easy. Others may mistake your frugality for cheapness. However, if the going gets tough, your savings will save you!

[@SBVCP]

A) That onl works for the first world. Otherwise you dont have that 10% to spend (weekly dinning out? the last time i buyed trousers was like two years ago). And if you can, the purchase power is too low to matter anyways B) No matter how rich you become at the end of your life, if you cant manage to do it while having a sucessfull andenjoyable life in the meantime, then you are not rich, but loaning your son with your happiness. Is not good. C) if you consider your credit important (or, you know...having electricity for example) bills come first, as you cant really say "oh, i will pay them later" because you wont have the money. D) investment are usually long term (a long one, even not touching it, unless you are really good at economy, really risk-oriented, and have a lot of money and a lot of luck). So, een flipping can be better at first if you simply dont have enough. Although what you say is true, you should aknowledge that to people, the "other side" (which you did on "be smart on how and where you invest)

[@victorialafrange5112]

I don't know. The pay yourself first and save 10% of your income is to me the first step. Even if it will just help you get some emergency money just in case life happens. 10% saved per months you have to try extra hard to find those 10% they do not come easy. Earn 100 save 10. It adds up.

[@katrinal353]

@@victorialafrange5112 That's only if you assume expendable income. A lot of people can't afford just putting 10% of their salary anywhere. A lot of people aren't able to pay off debts, or even have emergency funds, so getting to the point of having that much extra, isn't exactly the "first step" a median person would need. That's especially true if you lack the privileges of living in places dense in opportunities, amongst other factors.
