[22]
amazing let me tell you this when it
[25]
comes to money the most important thing
[27]
you need to consider is consider the
[30]
source how many of these advisors that
[32]
you see on TV on social media how many
[37]
of them are actually rich most of them
[39]
they are struggling financially most of
[42]
them actually represent and work on a
[44]
mutual fund companies they tell you to
[47]
put money aside say for the long term
[49]
and put their money in mutual funds and
[51]
don't touch it for 30-40 years and after
[54]
that then somehow if the [聽__聽] market
[57]
doesn't crash you'll be okay it is
[59]
[聽__聽] stupid let me tell you this the
[61]

[121]
a job you have a career even you have a
[123]

[127]
what the stupid financial adviser is
[129]

[140]
does this help you make more how does
[144]
saving their hundred dollars how would
[146]
that secure your financial future let's
[149]
say you do cut back that morning coffee
[151]
let's say you do stop going out with
[153]
your friends let's say you don't go to
[155]
watch that movies let's say you don't go
[158]
even take on they take a take their
[159]
vacation okay good so you save a few
[162]
hundred dollars per month in a year's
[164]
time you save a few thousand dollars
[165]
could you still buy the house that you
[167]
want
[168]
could you put even use that as a down
[170]
payment could you buy it could you buy
[171]
the car that you want could you provide
[173]
for your family would their help go
[176]
towards your kids education fund would
[179]
that be enough
[180]
you tell me comment below a penny safe
[187]
is still a [聽__聽] penny it doesn't
[190]
solve your problem is you yeah how would
[193]
that's saving a few hundred dollars you
[195]
put it in a mutual fund in stock market
[197]
at the end of day it's still still not a
[199]
lot of money it is still not enough to
[201]
do anything significant to do to buy
[204]
anything cific significant to invest in
[207]
anything significant in your life what
[209]
you need is this more how do you make
[214]
more how do you create more value in the
[218]
marketplace when you have this suddenly
[221]
you don't need budget you need to think
[223]
about all this [聽__聽] you'll need to think
[225]
about oh I need to come my [聽__聽]
[227]
pennies man I need to do this that
[230]
doesn't solve your problem this does not
[234]
solve your problem so what they're
[236]
telling you this financial advisor is I
[238]
want you to stay poor for your whole
[242]
life put away a few dollars every single
[245]
month for 10 20 30 years and then when
[249]
you retire you will be okay not even
[253]
comfortable because with inflation not
[256]
even rich hopefully if the market
[260]
doesn't crash that time that you retire
[262]
you would have a little bit of money too
[265]
off off you've seen that before maybe
[268]
someone that you know just before we
[270]
time it you remember what happened the
[272]
market crashed their entire life savings
[276]
paper eyes like that in days and not
[280]
even their fault it's not their fault
[283]
they just follow that advice and they
[286]
thought and they're not even most people
[288]
they're not even thinking that much
[289]
they're just thinking I just want to
[291]
decent comfortable retirement so I can
[294]
enjoy my life a little bit because I
[296]
work my entire life in this job in this
[299]
career and I cannot even do that so you
[303]
don't have a saving problem you have an
[306]
income problem so what you need to do is
[309]
now I know what you may be saying you
[311]
may be saying to me that Dan but I just
[313]
have a job or I make it to three four
[315]
thousand dollars how do I make more
[317]
money I don't care if you have a
[319]
business I don't care if you have a job
[321]
I don't care if you're working for
[323]
someone else I'm telling you right now
[325]
regardless of what you do you need to
[328]
develop your high income skill you need
[331]
a side hustle you need something on the
[334]
side that you could do to generate more
[337]
income so now when you're generating
[340]
this much sure I spend this much doesn't
[343]
matter I still could save and put away
[346]
all the extra money to invest but I need
[350]
to make more first so every single year
[352]
you need to strive to make more money
[354]
than your previous year every single
[357]
year you should strive to increase the
[359]
income having their high income skill
[361]
read my book a few money I talked about
[363]
it that is not the answer that is bad
[366]
[聽__聽] advice
[367]
there's the advice that mutual fund
[370]
companies want to believe that's what
[372]
they want you to buy into why because
[374]
they want to keep your money for as long
[377]
as possible for as long as possible and
[379]
then they will invest and they make the
[382]
management fee they will make a ton of
[385]
money while you stay poor so if you want
[389]
to be successful financially if you
[391]
don't want to be poor forget this
[394]
developed a high income skill develop
[397]
decide hustle on
[399]
decide your job is no longer enough your
[401]
business is no longer enough you need
[403]
something more if you want to secure
[407]
your family's financial future
