so this is a three pound Costa Coffee this is a hundred pound jacket and this
[5]
is a five pound burger if we were to invest them which one would bring us the
[10]
most money so I don't actually mean invest a burger that would be silly hi
[15]
is that HSBC yeah hi I'm looking to invest with you guys how much so I've
[22]
got a burger I'd like to invest a burger yeah yeah a burger with ketchup hello
[29]
hello I think they hung up on me. So the idea
[39]
is that we partake in lots of luxuries but what if we invested that money
[44]
instead what would be the best luxury to do without let's find out. So the first
[51]
thing we have to work out is how much are we actually spending on this stuff
[54]
in a year so let's take coffee three pounds every coffee
[58]
seven eight coffees in a week that's about twenty twenty-five pounds in a
[63]
month that's going to add up to about hundred pounds in a year that's 1,200
[67]
pounds where the burger let's say you spend about you know four four burgers
[72]
in a month that's about twenty twenty-five pounds in a year that's
[76]
going to add up to roughly 240 250 pounds and then with a jacket unless
[82]
you're a bit of a freak and you want to buy lots of jackets people normally buy
[86]
one jacket so that's going to cost around a hundred pounds a year so coffee
[92]
is obviously the massive spend in the year so let's try and save that let's
[96]
try and save that for your entire working life let's say you've become a
[100]
monk and you've given up coffee for your entire working career of 45 years how
[104]
much money would you end up saving on coffee over that time period so the
[109]
coffee alone over 45 years adds up to fifty four thousand pounds and if you
[115]
adjust for inflation that's 80 thousand pounds spent just on coffee in our
[120]
lifetime so now what if we invested that savings on coffee every month into
[125]
investments so this is the compound interest calculator on the calculator
[130]
site. I'll drop a link below and what you do let's say you put in 100
[136]
pound to start off with and you set the interest rate or the profit rate in our
[141]
case or let's say 7% which is your standard and let's say you calculate
[146]
over 45 years you compound every year as opposed to monthly so like that's when
[152]
it rolls over and then you regularly deposit a hundred pounds and let's say
[157]
you increase the deposit with inflation which is around 2% and then you
[161]
calculate and let's see what happens so the big numbers that you have to look
[166]
out over all are you end up with in total four hundred and sixty four
[170]
thousand pounds and just the coffee will add up to about eighty six thousand
[176]
pounds. Mad. So hang on what what just happened here? Tis coffee could be worth
[182]
four hundred and sixty four thousand pounds so what's the secret? So we like
[189]
to call this the IFG investment laws. number one invest consistently and
[194]
regularly and number two hold for a long period of time. Beta that sounds really
[201]
boring give me a get-rich-quick scheme. So
[205]
there's no get-rich-quick there's get rich slow like the 1% I mean look at
[211]
this graph of Warren Buffett's wealth it only mounts up significantly over time.
[216]
Why? So the benefits of the IFG investment laws the reason why the 1%
[222]
used these laws is twofold - compounding and smoothing. So compounding
[229]
is a reason why banks are so rich because when you keep on reinvesting the
[233]
profits or you keep on RIA cumulating the interest it becomes a snowball and
[237]
it starts rolling and it picks up more and more and more and more stuff until
[241]
before you know it it's a massive ball with Donald Trump's hair on top of it
[245]
and so with smoothing....look markets are really choppy and volatile over the
[250]
short term but over the long term they trend upwards so if you hold for a long
[255]
period of time you're going to benefit from that upward trend. That's it for
