You don't want to just not save any money. You got to be strategic with it.

There are three reasons why you should be saving money. You save money for an emergency. Save money for a big purchase. You want to buy a car. You want to buy a house. You need some cash to do that. Save money for an investment. If you're not saving money for one of these three reasons, you are saving your money the wrong way and your savings are literally making you poorer each and every day. while your friends were spending their money at a party,

your spending money the wrong way and your savings are literally making you poorer each and every day. While your friends

were spending their money at a party, you're spending money on building a business. Right. Like that

fundamental difference of spending it on fun shit that goes away. Yeah. Or equity, in this case,

your own company, is a world of difference. Yeah. So I just want to anchor everybody back around to those like

money habits you've got what all my mom would have called pissing money away, right? Literally

an alcohol. You're just pissing that money away. Or putting it into something that's going to go

to work for you. In your case, it was a business. It was real estate. If people can just grab that fundamental difference like of hey start thinking about the world in this different way they're

going to be a huge step forward and it's all a learning process because I don't drink I don't smoke

I never drink but for me it was the only it was it was a hustle right it was the only way that I knew

to kind of start making some money

and so it's how you start and you learn and each one of the things that you kind of do you're going to

learn something new and you're going to be able to apply that to the next thing and it really is that

shift you know I call it the minority mindset thinking differently than the majority of people

because it's it's doing something

different. Most of us are taught just to be consumers. Trade time for money, go buy cool things to flex.

Exactly. And that's it. We're never taught to do anything else. And I mean, think about the last time

your teachers taught you about the importance of investing your money. They don't know how to do it either.

Exactly. They couldn't hope to teach me. And so that's where you have to be willing to go out of your way to learn how some of these things work. Because if you don't, you're just going to be a pawn in the system. And it's very unfortunate. It sucks. And this is where I'm trying to help provide that education because these are things I never grew up learning. These are things that I wish somebody would have told me.

You know, I see it. I see it as so many people. I used to guest teach in Detroit public schools.

Whoa. And, you know, these are good kids from rough areas. A lot of times don't have two parents in the home.
