1. First thing I want to say is this
- Two things happen when you have a large amount of money
- It depends on how you are as a person
Person A:
- See’s a lot of money and wants to spend all of it
Person B:
- Sees a lot of money and worried about spending any of it
Person C:
- Is someone that doesn’t exist naturally in my opinion
- It is something you have to purposely work on
- This is the person that sees a lot of money, and thinks about the best way to spend it to get the maximum benefit from it ( this is who you should want to be )

2. Here is my story ( not with all the details but with enough so you know )
My first time saving 10k
- Once I accomplished the goal and it took about 3 months if I’m not mistaken
- I had to make a lot of sacrifices and I felt worn out
- Plus I just got into a relationship at the time and that kinda changes you in some way
- I spent all the money, I could not tell you what

Lesson:
- In the moment when you are wasting money you don’t think about it that way
- You think that the car is important, those chicken nuggets are a must-have or that vacation is nice
- But in 5 years you won't remember any of it
- It's not worth it

My Second Time:
- I saved it again in about 3 months I think it was ( it was easier for me to do because I lived at home with my mom and sister )
- This time I used the money for investing in stocks, I made exactly the same 10k ( meaning I broke even and got lucky )
- But I started investing into things I understood and it went well for me

Lesson:
- There is a hidden mistake here
- And also a bias, investing went well for me
- Turned 10k into like 100k in a few years but I would never do that again

3. What I wish I did
- If I just saved 10,000 for the first time
- My first job is to look at my current financial position
- My second job is to look at my earning potential

So first:
- If I have debt, I’m going to use the money to clear it up
- It hurts spending 10k to payoff a car ( but you have another option, payoff the car, and then sell it, use the difference to buy a cheaper car, and keep the rest of the money )
- Whenever you payoff debt and resist the urge to get into debt, your future self will thank you
- YOu don’t need credit to buy a house, just an income, tax statements and bill reports
- Pay cash for everything else

Second:
- If you saved 10k on a minimum wage job, congratulations I did it too
- But we can't keep working like this, your time is worth more
- Use that money once you’ve paid off the debt ( to get a new skill)
- Notice I didn’t say college, you have trade school, diplomas a lot of options

4. What about investing?
- If you are debt-free and you have 3 months' worth of emergencies at least
- What I would do

Take 10% of the 10k and invest it into the s&p 500
Take the other 90 and put in a high yield savings ( to buy a house )
- Even if you’re not thinking about a house right now
- It's something that in the future, you’ll have to think about

Doing it this way:
- I would have been debt-free by 21
- And still gotten to all of my goals
- A little slower but in my opinion better off

”Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity." As a single mother living in Spain, I purchased my second house in September last year, and I am on track to retire next year. I owe a huge thanks to Maya Payson for her invaluable help in making this possible.

Hey Tommy, can you make a video about types of insurance? I'd like to hear your take on this topic.

I save to invest.. so long as that investment can pay me back within a year. I own 4 houses now. The 3rd house I learned my way around the markets and I slush those rental incomes into dividends. Just saved 31k in 9 months, about 3.5k a month extra. Looking to buy an absentee kinda business now

Is it fine to get a condo first or save longer for a home that’s cheaper? They are cheaper and what I could reasonably afford.

I’m type 2 🥲 but I’m trying to become type 3 😅

Trick it off in the club. Buy a Gucci bag and a Louie belt. The rest on Hennessy, pizza and weed.
