      The worst advice I got was
      "If you invest with me, I'll double your money."
      from a very experienced real estate investor.

      That is also tricky . im 51 years old . ive been self employed for 35 years . i have bought everything i have cash . now im open another business an need a loan . here's the problem i don't have credit score. So i had to bring a invester in at 15% . in order to start production . so before i even start up im 250,000 in the red . so paying cash isn't always the answer.

    • @tc4877
      @tc4877 6 лет назад +11

      "Never owe." What a ridiculous philosophy. You realize basically every great enterprise, be it successful companies, powerful countries, etc rely on borrowing to maximize their potential? Imagine how successful an excavation company would be if it decided to have its employees dig with shovels rather than borrow money for an excavator? Or imagine a would-be doctor who decided to work at McDonald's until he could afford med school outright? It would be a waste of time and resources. Borrowing is essential to maximizing resource efficiency. Obviously, you don't borrow money for stupid shit, but "never owe?" That's just impractical.

      Credit score, credit score, credit score. If you don't know how your credit affects your life from interest rates to insurance rates, to even getting a decent job, then you will really be poor for ever.

    • @dev4statingx90
      @dev4statingx90 6 лет назад +13

      jamie t I disagree, you don't need a credit score to make money.

    • @jamie49868
      @jamie49868 6 лет назад +5

      Dave, with a poor credit score you will get screwed on that interest rate, if you can even get the loan. If you need to access capital, your credit score is very important. If you have to carry a large amount of insurance, that poor credit score will drive you insurance rates through the roof. Since margin and overhead is so important to business, your credit score is important as heck. Sure, you can make money with a poor score, but if you know how interest rates work, then it is extremely advisable to have a great credit score. Peace Brother!

    Some people think they're rich because they earn big. Take away their monthly expenses and the're as poor as a bartender living in his parent's basement. The difference is their lifestyle. Being rich can also be considered as having enough passive income to never have to work. Fellas like Kiyosaki (self made men) started small, reinvested, didn't have kids, and after a long while got enough money for their retirement. It's ok if your dream is to be financially retired at 48 but others use debt to grow a family, care for their kids. They don't have the heart to throw all that down the drain just to die rich of money. Instead, they die rich of memories and of the love they passed on. In fact, being rich is overrated. Even Steve Jobs said so during his last days.

    • @mrRunist
      @mrRunist 6 лет назад +7

      Why not both? Kids are a form of investment into the future: They ensure that you're taken care of in the future and will provide support if there is a backlash in any way. Kids will, besides that, also ensure that you'll never be alone, provide a sense of purpose and will provide emotional and psychological strength.
      Saving money and investing will also ensure that you're taken care of in the future and will insulate you from any backlash in any way, but it can never provide with any higher sense of purpose or fulfillment like kids will.

    In school you are taught, basically to be an employee. The normal path is to do well in school, go to college (with crazy student loan debt!) and hopefully get a good job/career so you can make some wealthy business owner richer than he already is! You know what isn't taught hardly anywhere in public schools? Entrepreneurship. Investing. Stocks. Bonds. Starting your own business. Want to know why? Because big business owns and controls what is taught in schools.
    The rich don't want you as competition, they want you as working class SLAVES! Big fat cat corporate money has long since decided what needs to be taught in schools is that you need to become an employee, serve a rich boss, get paid peanuts... and by ALL means get yourself into TONS of debt! Have 3 kids! Buy that new car! Credit cards for EVERYONE!!! Why? Simple. Debt is another tool that does 2 things for the rich. 1) They make money off of you in interest and 2) you being shackled in debt means you will have to work even more hours at your low paying, back breaking job to afford all of the nice things you can't afford. This is perfect for the guy at the top because you will slave your life away 50-70 hours a week and never see the family you created, while he gets to buy another beach house and a yacht!
    The sad part is that we are brainwashed starting as kids to be a poor, indebted slave to the rich.. most of us don't realize until it's MUCH too late, the error of our ways. You should be taught to hold off on having kids til you are in your 30s. Take on as LITTLE debt as possible and invest and learn investing starting at age 16-18 at the latest. Credit cards should be replaced by a mutual fund/index fund account on your 18th birthday. 90% of student loans are pure insanity. $40,000 in debt you can't get out of unless you die for a job that probably pays less than that amount a year to start. If you can get a scholarship or grants, fine, but going anything over $20k in debt when you are 18-20 and barely know what you want to be in life is just stupidity,.... but, that's what we are taught is right... and make no mistake, we are taught these things because the people at the top, who own everything NEED you to be an indebted slave making 1/100000th of what they make and never able to dig yourself out of the hole they told you to put yourself in.
    I'm 40 years old and the lightbulb came on for me about 4 years ago. I was the indebted slave. Now, my total bills per month equal about $8-900 a month and that includes food and gas. I invest like no tomorrow, have a cash backup account and will never put anything on credit ever again (possibly a house, but I will have to have at least 50% or more to put down on it and a huge cash position to back that up).
    Get off the hamster wheel, folks. That's exactly where they want you to be.

      No. Big Business doesn't own and control schools... Democrats do... via the teachers union... which is beholden to: Democrats. For the LEFT there is no higher calling than being a "victim" and one of those is being a victim of THE MAN in a world where one can supposedly only get their small piece of some finite pie if the government gives it to them. Class warfare is how Demoncrats get people to vote for them. Promise goodies... get votes. Well, I think for myself and CHOOSE to stay out of debt. I also CHOOSE to CREATE WEALTH... not just expect government handouts from empty Demoncrat promises. In summary: STOP being VICTIMS... and blaming others like big business and take responsibility. It sounds like you have. But its the Demoncrats doing the enslaving not businesses.

    • @pleasuretokill
      @pleasuretokill 6 лет назад +49

      @web. lol. Another far right Republican blaming everything on the left. Both you extreme conservatives and extreme liberals are comically off base. I am also debt free. I also invest heavily and create wealth. I also do not believe in a lot of hand outs. I am nowhere near a "victim". I live quite well, thank you.... however, neither Democrats nor Republicans control ANYTHING in this country. Big business and their far reaching power have long since bought and paid for our congress, our rules and our laws. Why in the HELL else would NAFTA be a thing? Who in their right mind would vote for a law that allows big, greedy corporations to move their companies overseas to China and Mexico to pay slave labor wages so they don't have to pay Americans a fair wage? WHO would vote for that? The answer REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS BOTH voted for it! They are BOTH equally guilty for selling us down the river to greedy corporations who pay them off via lobbyists.
      web, you fit the exact mold these greedy fuckers WANT us to be in. Divide and conquer. Have the right blame the left and the left blame the right... while we all are bickering amongst each other, they fucking rob us blind! By all means go ahead and blame the left for everything. 90% of ALL politicians are paid off crooks... left and right. Trump says he is going to kill NAFTA, I HIGHLY doubt he will because big business will not let that happen, but, if he does, he will be the greatest president ever in my eyes. Students are taught in schools to have kids early, go to an expensive college, bury themselves in student loans and use debt as a "tool". The only people who benefit from that line of thinking are big, money hungry corporations. Not Democrats or Republicans... though BOTH of those groups are guilty of being paid off by Visa, Mastercard, Bank of America and the like to promote their agenda.
      Wake up from your extreme conservative stance and see the bigger picture. You are part of the problem, as are the far left. You both have been mind fucked by the REAL enemy, big business!

I know a foreign girl (she’s Russian) who works at McDonald’s she literally came to America , got two jobs (McDonald’s, Kroger’s ) , and saved her money and kept working .she had her mind set on a car , and in 3 years she saved and got a Benz 😭. But then I looked at all the Americans working Kroger and McDonald’s and they just sit and complain about how they not rich , or how they think they being slaves to a business owner 😭. Just use hard work guys , SAVE, if you wanna be a business owner than be one , remember you control your own life. So if you don’t like something in your life ..... THEN CHANGE IT

I think this video is made this way just to sell you that course

    • @mikestevens2053
      @mikestevens2053 6 лет назад +4

      I think they're assuming hard work within all of the categories: they're just suggesting that efforts directed towards the "right side" of the grid will serve you better financially than efforts within the left side. Example: if I work my rear off as an employee and save a large % of my pre-tax income (eg. funding an IRA), I'm shifting from earned income wages to passive income investment returns. Over time, the investment principal and returns will lead to financial independence, whereas the earned wages will not. They will disappear as soon as I stop working. I fully agree, though, that hard work is required. This video suggests working smarter as well.

    Matthew 6:24-34 (KJV) "24No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
    25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
    26"Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
    27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
    28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
    29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
    30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
    31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
    32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
    33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
    34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
    You don't need money. Having a job that pays money is working for mammon. Work for The Kingdom, and you will receive your needs being met.

    I know people who own their own business. They work at least twice as much, and usually more than me. Mostly they do all right, at least until they go out of business, but when you break down the hourly wage plus benefits, I am way, way ahead. What I recommend is purchasing a couple of rentals and generating a positive cash flow. You work less and gain appreciation on your assets. This guy forgets that it takes years and tens of thousands of hours to build a business that is self sustaining, and really, most of us are not capable. Investing is great if you have some extra money, but that too takes a lifetime if you start at zero and don't hit a Microsoft at day one.

    • @jamie49868
      @jamie49868 6 лет назад +4

      If you had purchased 100 shares of MSFT on 3/13/86 for $2,100 you would have about $2,800,000...not bad. There are three things to consider. 1) Nobody heard of it then, so it is highly unlikely you would have risked that much cash if you had it. 2) MSFT did not start paying a dividend until 2003, so for the first 17 years if you wanted or needed cash, you would have had to sell it, wiping out future gains. 3) If you had purchased it just 1.5 years later 10/1/87 it would be worth half (1,400,000), and if between 4/17/90 and 6/27/91 - about 700,000...still great providing you didn't sell any shares and take a profit in the ensuing 27 years. Now say you used tthat same $2,100 to buy on 2/19/03, today you would have about $8,000 fifteen years later, and not be bragging, but still a very nice return. So yes, investing should be a substantial part of your strategy. Just don't expect that you will hit Amazon at day 1 with a 10k investment, or that somehow you manage that, you will hold until you have a billion dollars.

      False: The more you make the more you make. I assume you are talking about overtime. If you make more than a certain amount and you push yourself into the next tax bracket (unlikely), you will get taxed on whatever you make after being in the new tax bracket. They dont go back and retax your income before going into the next bracket.

      @@BoogerDeluxe22 Bill ( not you) a fictional CEO on 1/2 a million a year.pays 50% income tax & usually 15-20% other taxes a year. That's only 1 tax less than the elderly, on a pension, the dissabled, students and the unemployed (over 1 billion people worldwide). & of those other 300 zillion taxes, there people pay the same % out of their pittance of an income as bill (way poorer than them are billions of poor people in the 3rd world).
      Back to Bill, his family come first, so he bought 2 new & safer cars & extended his house for his growing children. He also got tires of hiring a luxury yacht every holiday, so he bought one.
      Now this cost Bill a fortune & he doesn't really need it. But his children come first, a great guy too.
      He can always sell a property or 2 if he has to.
      In 2018 Bill spent 110% of his income on taxes.
      In 30 years as an exec, his total tax has been above 72% 4 times and 80% once. Tax returns are only a few % most years.
      Tax fair Bill Paxton? What do you think taxing a few tens of thousand high income earners worldwide does for prices & inflation? Let alone taxing billions a year, from those on welfare?
      Bill, the millionaire, lining the pockets of multi millionairs/billionairs/multi billionairs. (sound like many, but it's a few, a very very few, far less than the Bills)

      LoN3LY BoY But even committing crimes for money would fall under one of those 4 categories. Because it doesn't matter what type of means you do to make money, but the system you use in order to make money. For example if you sell drugs for another drug dealer you're an employee. But if you sell drugs for yourself you're self employed. But if you got drug dealers selling drugs for you then you got a big business. And if you're supplying money to help the big business drug dealer, or the small business drug dealer for the purpose of operation in which you get returns you're an investor.

      That's not a good way of thinking of things. Some people would say it's a poor person mentality. The rich people take the greatest risk. That's why they are rich. They intentionally go into debt to invest in an idea for the chance of greater returns.
      A guy might flip hamburgers all day..and sure his money is his and he earned.. but he is playing is safe and never taking a risk. If you gamble money in a poker game and win.. it's still your money.

    I appreciate the enthusiasm, but this is FALSE. There are more than 4 ways to make money. You have crime at many levels, a couple of them which let you get away with it by being a politician or the super rich 1%.
    The most obvious way to make money, though, is WAR. That's right. Rich countries are rich, because of treaties grossly sided to their advantage of countries they conquered or won a war against to dictate policy and the exploitatioin of their (loser country's) resources. Add to that the land they acquire or control so it doesn't look too blatant and abusive. War also gives you whatever your enemies had.
    When you think about war, don't think about armies marching into territories to fight other armies; no that's not the way wars work these days. The world has gotten smaller and claimed for the vast majority of land by a handful of individuals. No, war nowadays is fought through the silent murder of your enemies. I'm sorry to say this, but it's the truth. The most successful individuals are those who not only fuck up those who are in their way or won't do their bidding, it is the individuals who have a ring of professional assassins call it the police, organized mafia cartels or what have you to do... (Yep! You gessed it!) their dirty work by outright murder. No different than thousands of years ago when people bickered over the same things: Power and possessions.
    There's even a study by a Stanford professor who also wrote a book on Power: Why some people have it and others don't. It's just along these lines. Cynical as is, we are ruled by psychopaths and sociopaths of the worst kind who have managed to fool us into not seeing them for what they are.

A petty thief would be like a self employed person, stealing is work, and time. A drug kingpin would be more like a Big Business person, letting your underlings do the work and taking your cut.

      By the definition here they would fall under the E quadrant. Benefits, etc given by the government. Though some do side jobs(Legal or not) whether they report to the government or not, but vast majority would be E. (Having been on Welfare, it's no cake walk if your not abusing it (The abuse of it is a completely different topic). Not there now though, currently I am in the ESI. Yes you can do that! :) )

      They are in the quadrant of the investor. If their skill set or physical abilities are to low to make money off of their labor they are cast aside leaving those that can labor to pay to sustain their needs (society). Since the investor pays less in taxes the burden falls on the working class. Through a great PR system the investor who produces nothing and takes as much as they can, convince the working class that the poor are responsible for stagnant economic growth. Meanwhile the investment class has seen the largest increase in wealth since the economic collapse. Imagine that, product prices remained the same or increased, wages went down, small investors including retirement funds lost and the top investors made more. See a pattern?
      People don't want to see that what they are aspiring to be are big piles of steaming $hit and the poor they are led to despise are what the rich consumed to become what they are.
