Hi my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.

Everyone teaches you how to save money but almost no one teaches you how to save money, but almost no one teaches you how to spend it.

And I want to challenge people. I have this principle I call the D to C principle,

and instead of being derisive and saying oh so stupid that's ridiculous I would never do that

I actually want to encourage everyone to be C curious why would a guy like Lewis

intentionally spend money on a business class ticket?

Man, he earns good money. He has a lot of options. He must know something that I don't and I want to understand why.

A lot of folks think that once you make

250K or 2.5 million whatever the number is that suddenly you're just

throwing money around left to right and And that's not quite correct.

It might seem like that because to spend, say,

$7,000 for a business class international flight

just seems like, oh my God, that's so crazy.

But I want you to get more nuanced.

What I do with my financial system is I set a target each year.

This is how much money I'm going to save and invest and those numbers are aggressive.

There's that's a lot of money.

Yeah like every year.

30% yeah so anywhere between those ranges and we have folks who

of what you earn correct. Yeah and and then remember whenever I make any unexpected income, let's say I did a speaking gig or something.

Yeah, I might get myself something. I might go out to dinner, but the rest I'm just putting straight in investments.

Wow. Okay, so that money grows aggressively. You wouldn't believe how many entrepreneur friends I know who have a good business and they don't invest at all.
