Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty. Anyone who keeps learning stays young. The greatest thing in life is to keep your mind young. - Henry Ford
If being wealthy means being an a**hole, No thanks! Some of this advice, yes, others no. You don’t need to exploit ppl to be comfortable. Also wealth is overrated. It’s 2022. Wealth is in health, being supportive and kind, no debt and being able to live a content life. This is bs old school advice. You don’t see the karma of bad ppl, but trust, they do get it. Please do not go out being a mean a**hole for money. It’s not worth it. Being kind is better. Have the mindset to be innovative and create but plz this billionaire bs needs to go. We don’t care anymore. We just want health, food on our tables and to take care of our families. I’m not poor, grew 2 businesses, 1 grossing 800k last year. I found that when I became kinder, more supportive of others etc, good things flow. No one needs to be a billionaire.

Facts just look at people in college they are intellectual yet they are broke living paycheck to paycheck the more you make the more you spend unless you budget your money,save and invest
I agree with you on the save and invest part to not be in depth and Yes college graduates owe tons of fees for their education, but they'll pay it up later in their career.
ALUX FAM. Growing up my parent will say "isale oro legbin", which in Yoruba language(South-west Nigeria) means "The base of all wealth is filthy with corruption ". Thank God I unlearned and relearn everything. Great piece as always guys 🔥🔥🔥
Abraham was probably one of the richest men in the world. He was a man of great faith. False teacher probably taught that so they would give him money!
Sounds very familiar to members of my family who think all your riches are saved up for you in heaven and wanting or chasing money is immoral. "God never gives you more than you can carry...."
Here they are; 1. you need to work to get money 2. Study hard to get a good paying job 3. always cut down expenses 4. Everyone rich is corrupt 5. All self-help is bullsh!t 6. Your destiny is out of your hands 7. You can't make it in life without connections 8. In life, you get what you deserve 9. Listen to your elders 10. Sunday is the lord's Day to rest 11. People like us can't be rich 12. This is how we do things in this house 13. Try to fit in as much as possible 14. Better safe than sorry 15. There's not enough to go around BONUS IDEA 16. Nobody is coming to save you but you're there to save all Let's make success our last name 2️⃣⏭️🙌👍💯
I grew up in the lower-middle class, and watched my mom work two, sometimes three jobs to keep the household together. Not everyone who's poor is lazy, as was strongly implied in #10. Thankfully I wasn't told any of these statements growing up, but living on my own for the first time, I was unprepared for a lot and barely survived on my own (far away from family and support) on minimum wage. Being in poverty takes up an exorbitant amount of headspace because you're constantly wondering where the money will come from for basic necessities. Science even shows poverty physically changes the brain. It wasn't until I got a better job and could easily pay for all my needs that I realized just how much poverty had affected my peace and my ability to think clearly.
@kivaunreads4091 well this channel is really classist and dislikes poor, middle class and new wealth they really seem to worship old money billionaires this channel is pathetic and harmful

My parents provided most of this advice to me and my siblings, but with the extra rider that we should supplant their advice with better advice if we felt it was more aligned with our aspirations. I feel fortunate my parents were brave enough to break the cycle of bad advice by allowing their children to explore their own path. I'm happy to say their method seems to have worked! Alux Fam!

The only thing I had going for me growing up was that I knew almost everything everybody told me was wrong. My question was always "If you're so smart, why is your life the way it is?" Breaking out of a chaotic disfunctional family of origin is tough and they won't like you for it but it can be done.
@@johnbethea4505 I understand. However this was a bit much for me to digest. And I felt it conflicted with my beliefs and values. After viewing this I unsubscribed. I’m looking at an old Billy Graham video. God bless
@@darrenbannister6087 I agree. To me it sounded anti-religious or Socialist. Being rich has nothing with our faith or not. This one was a cut at the poor.
This is on point. I went from a 33k a year salary after college many moons ago (worked for w2 for 2 year only) to millions after quitting my job and starting my own businesses. Fast forward I now own multiple businesses, have multiple partnerships, help others grow their business and invest in the right people, if they need and want the help. 9 - for me I always respect my elders and others and yes I do listen to advice when it makes sense to me. If they point out a stone many trip on, I’ll make sure to go around it. . 10 - I don’t work on Sundays or any other day, because I love what I do- it’s more like enjoying a hobby daily and having fun. The more I help others achieve their goals (people, clients, entrepreneurs) the more blessings come my way and goals of my own I get to reach. 12- I always respected and still respect my parents- if you don’t like their rules, hustle and moved out. I did at a very young age to make my own rules. If you are in a toxic relationship and unhappy, get out. No ifs , ands, or buts. Love yourself. Value yourself. Best wishes, blessings and great success to all that read this. Remember, just because you didn’t come from a wealthy family doesn’t mean a wealthy family can’t come from you. Great job Alux!
I am 48 years young, beautiful and talented in being creative. Because of scarcity mindset, and not having enough or if I get more, there wont be enough for others, has me suffering for years trying to make ends meet! While I see people doing what I started with 7years ago growing and growing while I am being stuck! As a child I always dremt big, big houses, luxury cars. Now I am trying to change my mindset..
@@NYpaulstanley Thank you for sharing your story! The thing is that I know and feel that I am destine to be more and have more. With the mindset that you have to work hard, made me exhausted so I stop working. Something has to change😊
You might want to listen to those elders if you think you're in their will. Pissing them off never really helps in the long run. And, listening is not obedience. You still have a choice.
With long life spans and the ability to change it at the last moment in a huff this is a risky gamble. Better to assume it won’t happen and be pleasantly surprised of it does
"people in business don't make money, you have to be a lawyer, doctor or engineer!!!" - my mother when I told her I wanted to go into business. I'm still following my intuition, I simply refuse to live an unfulfilling life!
What about the saying “ I have a lot of children so they can take care of me when I’m old “ Or the thought if saving broken things and having a mess all over the house because of that . There is also the thought of not going to the doctor because of the fear of finding out some bad sickness on our bodies.
When i stopped listening to my parents and switch off my safe mode and get out of my comfort zone ..im totaly a different person and my life totaly changed from lazy to limitless ✌️
OMG this is exactly how I was brought up and for so long it held me back ... It was only after I left home and basically relearnt everything I was told about money was i able to build and grow businesses and wealth ... Financial education is one of the most powerfull tools that can change ur life ... Take the time to learn more ... Its a worthwhile investment .. i still am and will always be willing to learn more 💯 Thanks Alux .. your videos are steps in the right direction ♥️
#2 was the one for me, but once my dad got into today’s time he quickly pivot and told me to own businesses and use his connections to break the curses upon my family.
"Advice" my mother gave me when I was in high school was, "You can marry a nice man that can take care of you." By the way, I was on the honor roll with sights to go to medical school. But you guessed it- they were poor, old school & thought that was my best chance of a "good life" as a girl. Now, I own a business, rentals & am the breadwinner of the house. Older doesn't always mean wiser. 😎
Good poor parents spend time with their kids and try to keep them safe. Rich kids are usually looked out for by a nanny and many times feel like they don't have parents.. Determination is the driver of success...
Been watching Alux for about 2 - 3 years now. Aside from the atheistic views, I agree with everything else. And I’ve actually started my own commercial cleaning business and have contracts with businesses. I’m making way more money than I ever was making at any job I’ve had in the past. So thank you for these videos. ✨🙏🏽💯
I could relate with all of em. Growing up my family was broke and their advices aren't felt like working for reality. So if ur a person from broke family pls keep ur learning mentality constant.
ALUX FAM!!! I have been an ALUX follower from the beginning. Every one of your videos are full of gold nuggets. And I agree with so much in this one. Turned 60 years old today and honestly, the secret to life is to never stop learning!!!

When I left to teach in China in 2018, my dad told me to quit translating the journal I still translate and focus exclusively on my job in China. I didn't. The job in China went horribly wrong and I returned 3 months and 3 weeks later. During the pandemic I was teaching and translating more than ever before. I teach English myself now (founded my company) and still earn extra translating that journal.

My dad did something along these lines when I was a kid. Started his own business, threw all the old wisdoms out of the window, took a deep dive in his new life etc. Then it took my mom and my grandma several years to pay back my dad's debts, restore our middle-class status and regain our self-respect.
Hey Alux im from uganda and glad about what you're planning to do for the unprivileged with education . I request you extend financial literacy compaigns in schools as well . God bless you
ALUX FAM✊. This is one of my favorite channels. I've learned a lot about life, career etc thanks to your constant research. More grace to the team, God bless 🙏
Thank you Alux for supporting my country Uganda. I love your inspirational and motivational videos, they have helped me to navigate life in a difficult environment. Much love!
Not my dad but my grand dad. "Work hard and it will pay off." He didn't really add context to what that meant. He also lived in a different time. Companies became cutthroat. Well...they were always cut throat, but unions forced them to negotiate. Then everyone went along with the "if you try hard enough you will make it in life" approach. You have to stick with the times and try to stay ahead of the curve to make it. Being loyal to a company often means jack shit.
1:37-1:43 - Bill Gates may argue with you on this one. His last rule on a set of rules he lectured a group of teenagers on went like this: "Be nice to nerds. Chances are, you'll be working for one".
While I agree with most of what’s presented in this video, it becomes evident that the authors know nothing about the value of education and religion. Instagram celebrities, for the most part, live a meaningless life that leads to depression and anxiety. It’s ok, they will find their refuge in religion or spirituality. In fact, research shows (education teaches you how to conduct and understand research studies, fyi) that spiritual and religious people are happier than non-religious. Anyway, use your critical thinking when watching these videos. It’s just a tool, another price of info to consider.
Alux fam here. Thanks to this channel I was able to find financial stability in 4 years than the other 23 years my parents taught me on how to grow. And I’ve barely scratched the surface
7:20 listen to your elders. Applicable before the information age. All aspects of life have changed. You must adapt to the current situation.7:49 put other first _ however the truth is people will take advantage of you. (I learned that the hard way). 9:35 self limiting beliefs. You were given some bad programs by your family, and the early teachers. 11:00 do not stick with some thing just because it is familiar. 12:38 better safe than sorry. This is just plain bad advice. Playing it safe will lead you to be 'sorry'. There is unlimited abundance in the world.. 13:35 you have been programmed to believe life is a zero sum game. If you win some else must lose. WRONG. There is more than one (1) pie in the world. TRUE. 14:00 nobody is coming to save you. The road to success _ solve other people problems. Become a SME.
DAMN, watching this video makes Me Angry at my parents! But I know it’s not their fault. They were just doing what they were taught & what they thought was Best for Me and my siblings. It’s a generational mindset, however I’ma be the 1st generation that’s more financially literate. Plus my younger sister watches Alux videos aswell, I feel Like that’s progress moving forward! Always a pleasure Alux, ALUX FAM!💯🔥💪🏾
Life is a short trip on earth don’t only earn money also remember to earn blessings. The people that spent time only making money and hurting others will regret it because life is a test by God

Good advice except the one about listening to your elders. There are core strategies and priciples that can only be learned with age. Wisdom can come from any age group but especially those with a lifetime of experience. I get your point about changing times, but perhaps you can do a whole video explaining the difference between wisdom and out of touch babble. Thanks!
I think there are exceptions to every rule, but I would say, in general, Alux is right on this one, IMHO. As early as 12 years old I knew elderly people were giving antiquated advice that I would never implement in my life. Additionally, most of the advice was judgmental, based on superstition and not science, homophobic, rooted in guilt and fear from religious indoctrination, etc.
If being wealthy means being an a**hole, No thanks! Some of this advice, yes, others no. You don’t need to exploit ppl to be comfortable. Also wealth is overrated. It’s 2022. Wealth is in health, being supportive and kind, no debt and being able to live a content life. This is bs old school advice. You don’t see the karma of bad ppl, but trust, they do get it. Please do not go out being a mean a**hole for money. It’s not worth it. Being kind is better. Have the mindset to be innovative and create but plz this billionaire bs needs to go. We don’t care anymore. We just want health, food on our tables and to take care of our families. I’m not poor, grew 2 businesses, 1 grossing 800k last year. I found that when I became kinder, more supportive of others etc, good things flow. No one needs to be a billionaire.
Sorry Alux, Muslims don't believe that the position of the sun, moon, etc, determines one's predestination, even though God the totalitarian in determining one's faith, we still have some degree of control of our destiny
Alux family....I started a CHINCHIN business in my poor neighborhood...now I just bought a truck to deliver..now I can focus on my musical career alux just made life easier
I agree with you, I actually watched that part 3 times to make sure I was understanding what they were saying. I do believe you need someone to point you to the door and sometimes hold her door open for you. Connections are grate.
I remember the worse thing my father told me right before I graduated highschool that I needed to be serious. That I was going to be a worker bee. Get a job, work, retire, die. It made me wonder what the point of living in the first point? I'm glad I didn't listen to him, but it hurt my heart for the rest of my life he felt that way about me. He was a successful person himself and I guess I didn't understand why he didn't think I could be like him.
This is true, but hard work leads to experience to solve problems. Worst thing my father did was ban all computers in the house, then came for the cd player. You get out what you put in, and if your dumb enough to stifle creativity in your kids you shouldn't have them in the first place.
I told my children not to turn out like me & study hard. All 3 have gone to university! I’ve worked hard all my life as a single parent! Now it is their responsibility
I still live with them and I am so glad that I have all this information which helps me get out of the pit of lies they have and are still engraving in my life. ALUX FAM😁❤
My family is not poor at all. They are actually very rich. But I was not given hand outs most of the time. They are there for me if I truly need anything but really I was taught to make it on my own. But my grandfather was super rich AND famous. So I felt alot of pressure to follow his footsteps to do something big with my life. So I did it ❤️
Must RESPECT your elders and their knowledge. You can get alot IF your receptive to listening and understanding what they are saying to you. Carefully decipher it and you can learn alot. 😉
While I keep a lot of the values my parents taught me when they came to this country, I had to learn to unlearn a lot of stuff. I had to learn on my own. Glad ALUX is here to help me on my journey.
This, so much this! Thank you Alux for helping me break these limiting beliefs! I am not losing friends because I am defending businessman that my people don't like. But im tired of hating rich people for no reason and making up bullshit stories when they're out here doing massive humanitarian things!! One day, I will be rich and hated as well. That's heartbreaking, but it's their choice and I don't have to deal with it! #Aluxfam
That corupted statement is not about hate it's about sin greed you can have mass wealth an let it be bad for you.But you can have wealth an not let it hurt you.An those who do give are free from greed an are doing good deads.
3. It can be good at the begginig IMO, but after you earn thousands and thousands every month it's pointles. 4. Lol, my dad is that "all rich people are evil" guy. I always think to my self. "Yeah. That like 8 y. o. kid on TH-cam that earns milions by unboxing toys is definitely disgusting monster. Sure." 7. My dad once more. 9. This can be actually useful. But only in very limited extent (as you described). 10. Yeah, it might be Lords day to rest. But because I don't believe in any god, nor I am god I don't care, dad. And mom has alteration "Don't be so hard on yourself." 11. This time it's amazingly my dad's, but my mom's statement. 14. And now both of my parents's (i guess it's wrong, sorry, not my first language) statement. Ok, now seriously. My parents are fantastic parents. They did and still do everything for me and my brothers. Also I have inborn lungs malfunction, so they are very overprotective of me, so 14 is more understandable, than others. I mean all of them are, cause that's what their parents told them and we live in ex-communist country (and they were born in it) so all this info became available only recently. But these statements are holding me back. And that's where you, Alux and similar projects and people, step in. So this is basicaly something like expression of my gratitude. 😀 Thank you Alux fam.

You get education to make good informed decisions, good education is so much more than a degree. Successful people don’t dream about becoming rich, they are rich in what they have to offer to the world.
i love this video. it exposes what the working class and middle class are really about - at least the ones who live paycheck to paycheck. some people feel they are entitled to have kids even if they are emotionally and financially unqualified. that said, these types of people inspire me to legally pay the least amount of income tax i'm obligated to pay. i am glad i didn't have kids as i was not interested or cut out for that. 💯
This reminds me of the opposite version of a video on what rich parents teach their kids by this channel. I rather be a rich dad that teach my kids on how to be rich and let money works for them.
I’m a Christian and I have made more money than all of the Alux group combined. The Bible doesn’t say that money is evil, it says the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. There are plenty of extremely rich people in the Bible that were God’s people. Also Sunday isn’t the Lord’s Day unless the pope is your lord. The Bible says that the 7th day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. The Seventh Day is what we call as Friday at sunset until Saturday at sunset. Isaiah 58:13,; Mark 2:27,28,;Matthew 12:7. Anyway religion doesn’t hold you back if you have a correct understanding of the one true religion. Alux keeps going down by attacking Christian beliefs.
Here’s the thing Alux. Religion teaches prayers. Prayers are affirmation, which is taught by the founders of prosperity, napoleon hill in the book, “ think and grow rich, auto suggestion, which to progr the subconscious mind to reach your full potential. In addition, Jim rohn, Brian Tracy all stressed about mindset development. Also, things are changing so fast, what you say now will become obsolete, Alux 2.0 can be replacing you soon, as we speak
Poor people aren't trying to be like everyone else, they too often are trying to "be themselves" instead of working in humility in subjugating themselves to something bigger and better and thus they stay poor. Humility, not being a standout, is what brings wealth
Yeah, but they compromised. All rich people who are religious did at one point or another in their life. John D. Rockefeller was very religious but he was not known to be kind to his competitors whom he had ruthlessly driven out of the market.
@@temidayoazeez what are the facts to back this? So u mean to tell me in this big world that we live in not a single rich religious Christian live in it that God himself has truly blessed without compromising? You can’t base that argument on one person like John D Rockefeller
@miztamacondatrack The Christain life was not meant to be lived rich. Jesus is the template for any one who want to live a complete perfect Christian life. You could argue time have changed. But there is a very fine line between been rich and having an uncompromised Christian life. We all make little compromises here and there including getting rich. But that doesn't mean there aren't rich people who live good moral life.
I am sincerely religious and truly spiritual . In recent months some strange sentiment emerges within me : no westerner should be allowed to claim exemptions because they claim some religion . Maybe I am mistaken about this . But I receive no " slack " because I believe in my God , and it is pointless and futile to discuss religion with governments and organizations like NGOs or GONGOs . I am alone , we all are alone , most of us are poor and wounded , nothing is clear nothing is easy , although some people we meet are clearly unsteady and unreliable . In my religion , you are alone with God , and God speaks to you by his representatives . I could type for an hour , but feel it would be semi-futile , only half-way reaching a few . Alux is good company .
Deuteronomy 8:17-18 You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me." But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
Having money and being rich is precious but resting to renew my spirituality by connecting with God is vital. If 6 days were not exactly productive, resting 1 day to rethink my strategy and revise my methods can be a game changer duh!
After watching a few self help videos - I believe 50% is truth and 50% scam/lies/formulaic. Some of the things self help promotes makes people down right delusional. Those who really succeed never really read self help books. Perhaps they have a financial adviser or mentor or even a therapist on hand but self help books are for people who really have no idea about life or themselves. But Alux is one of the better ones...
Be careful of the scam accounts impersonating us in the comments! It’s not us!
Yeah I reported two of them that posted on my earlier comment.
Yeah I know with my comment on this video. I usually ignore and move on. Sad that the Alux channel isn't the only one with this issue.
I've had these types of message or spams in my ears.

You can’t become wealthy if you hate the wealthy!
Abraham was probably one of the richest men in the world. He was a man of great faith. False teacher probably taught that so they would give him money!
While they were kind of right, you don’t have to be a terrible person to get rich nowadays.
Sounds very familiar to members of my family who think all your riches are saved up for you in heaven and wanting or chasing money is immoral. "God never gives you more than you can carry...."

Thanks human :)
@Right Time My take on #16 is, If nobody owes you anything, you owe them nothing either, especially if you don't have children!
I grew up in the lower-middle class, and watched my mom work two, sometimes three jobs to keep the household together. Not everyone who's poor is lazy, as was strongly implied in #10. Thankfully I wasn't told any of these statements growing up, but living on my own for the first time, I was unprepared for a lot and barely survived on my own (far away from family and support) on minimum wage. Being in poverty takes up an exorbitant amount of headspace because you're constantly wondering where the money will come from for basic necessities. Science even shows poverty physically changes the brain. It wasn't until I got a better job and could easily pay for all my needs that I realized just how much poverty had affected my peace and my ability to think clearly.
I'm glad, you worked your way up and made it.🙏💕

My parents provided most of this advice to me and my siblings, but with the extra rider that we should supplant their advice with better advice if we felt it was more aligned with our aspirations. I feel fortunate my parents were brave enough to break the cycle of bad advice by allowing their children to explore their own path. I'm happy to say their method seems to have worked! Alux Fam!
If being wealthy means being an a**hole, No thanks! Some of this advice, yes, others no. You don’t need to exploit ppl to be comfortable. Also wealth is overrated. It’s 2022. Wealth is in health, being supportive and kind, no debt and being able to live a content life. This is bs old school advice. You don’t see the karma of bad ppl, but trust, they do get it. Please do not go out being a mean a**hole for money. It’s not worth it. Being kind is better. Have the mindset to be innovative and create but plz this billionaire bs needs to go. We don’t care anymore. We just want health, food on our tables and to take care of our families. I’m not poor, grew 2 businesses, 1 grossing 800k last year. I found that when I became kinder, more supportive of others etc, good things flow. No one needs to be a billionaire.
I believe here at Alux, we’re a family (big one). Thank you a ton Alux, for changing our lives, as well as the world.
The only thing I had going for me growing up was that I knew almost everything everybody told me was wrong. My question was always "If you're so smart, why is your life the way it is?" Breaking out of a chaotic disfunctional family of origin is tough and they won't like you for it but it can be done.
It can be done
Indeed
My mother was always a step away from homelessness. At 59, I began to invest in real estate and now am financially secure at 66.
Congratulations for making it....spread the knowledge and it going.
I am inspired, will do this same!
Ditto
Believing in any religion or not doesn't make a person either rich or poor, it is your determination and actions that will make you wealthy...
Agreed
The wealthiest ppl I’ve met always had a relationship with Jesus, Allah, or some belief in a higher power
The message being sent is cringeworthy and disturbing
@@darrenbannister6087 yes I agree, but I feel that it is correct..
@@johnbethea4505 I understand. However this was a bit much for me to digest. And I felt it conflicted with my beliefs and values. After viewing this I unsubscribed. I’m looking at an old Billy Graham video. God bless
@@darrenbannister6087 I agree. To me it sounded anti-religious or Socialist. Being rich has nothing with our faith or not. This one was a cut at the poor.
This is on point. I went from a 33k a year salary after college many moons ago (worked for w2 for 2 year only) to millions after quitting my job and starting my own businesses. Fast forward I now own multiple businesses, have multiple partnerships, help others grow their business and invest in the right people, if they need and want the help.
9 - for me I always respect my elders and others and yes I do listen to advice when it makes sense to me. If they point out a stone many trip on, I’ll make sure to go around it.
.
10 - I don’t work on Sundays or any other day, because I love what I do- it’s more like enjoying a hobby daily and having fun. The more I help others achieve their goals (people, clients, entrepreneurs) the more blessings come my way and goals of my own I get to reach.
12- I always respected and still respect my parents- if you don’t like their rules, hustle and moved out. I did at a very young age to make my own rules.
If you are in a toxic relationship and unhappy, get out. No ifs , ands, or buts. Love yourself. Value yourself.
Best wishes, blessings and great success to all that read this.
Remember, just because you didn’t come from a wealthy family doesn’t mean a wealthy family can’t come from you.
Great job Alux!
true
Thank you so much for this!
Cut down expenses is not the solution. You don't have a spending problem, you have an income problem.
This one hit me a certain way too, I'm over here trying to be the budget queen...lol
I am 48 years young, beautiful and talented in being creative. Because of scarcity mindset, and not having enough or if I get more, there wont be enough for others, has me suffering for years trying to make ends meet! While I see people doing what I started with 7years ago growing and growing while I am being stuck! As a child I always dremt big, big houses, luxury cars. Now I am trying to change my mindset..
@@NYpaulstanley Thank you for sharing your story! The thing is that I know and feel that I am destine to be more and have more. With the mindset that you have to work hard, made me exhausted so I stop working. Something has to change😊
You might want to listen to those elders if you think you're in their will. Pissing them off never really helps in the long run. And, listening is not obedience. You still have a choice.
With long life spans and the ability to change it at the last moment in a huff this is a risky gamble. Better to assume it won’t happen and be pleasantly surprised of it does
"people in business don't make money, you have to be a lawyer, doctor or engineer!!!" - my mother when I told her I wanted to go into business. I'm still following my intuition, I simply refuse to live an unfulfilling life!
What about the saying “ I have a lot of children so they can take care of me when I’m old “
Or the thought if saving broken things and having a mess all over the house because of that .
There is also the thought of not going to the doctor because of the fear of finding out some bad sickness on our bodies.
"RICH DAD POOR DAD" by Robert Kiyosaki is a good timeless read.
I really enjoyed "The Richest Man in Babylon ".
When i stopped listening to my parents and switch off my safe mode and get out of my comfort zone ..im totaly a different person and my life totaly changed from lazy to limitless ✌️
"Every day, do something uncomfortable"
OMG this is exactly how I was brought up and for so long it held me back ... It was only after I left home and basically relearnt everything I was told about money was i able to build and grow businesses and wealth ... Financial education is one of the most powerfull tools that can change ur life ... Take the time to learn more ... Its a worthwhile investment .. i still am and will always be willing to learn more 💯 Thanks Alux .. your videos are steps in the right direction ♥️
Alux fan I am. At 58, still trying to get rich and thanks to Alux, I am getting there
#2 was the one for me, but once my dad got into today’s time he quickly pivot and told me to own businesses and use his connections to break the curses upon my family.
"Advice" my mother gave me when I was in high school was, "You can marry a nice man that can take care of you." By the way, I was on the honor roll with sights to go to medical school. But you guessed it- they were poor, old school & thought that was my best chance of a "good life" as a girl. Now, I own a business, rentals & am the breadwinner of the house. Older doesn't always mean wiser. 😎
Good poor parents spend time with their kids and try to keep them safe. Rich kids are usually looked out for by a nanny and many times feel like they don't have parents.. Determination is the driver of success...
Been watching Alux for about 2 - 3 years now. Aside from the atheistic views, I agree with everything else. And I’ve actually started my own commercial cleaning business and have contracts with businesses. I’m making way more money than I ever was making at any job I’ve had in the past. So thank you for these videos. ✨🙏🏽💯
so you agree with their dislike of the poor its disgustingly classist channel
I could relate with all of em. Growing up my family was broke and their advices aren't felt like working for reality. So if ur a person from broke family pls keep ur learning mentality constant.
Thats what i realised and changed my approach to life.I see the difference.
ALUX FAM!!! I have been an ALUX follower from the beginning. Every one of your videos are full of gold nuggets. And I agree with so much in this one. Turned 60 years old today and honestly, the secret to life is to never stop learning!!!

When I left to teach in China in 2018, my dad told me to quit translating the journal I still translate and focus exclusively on my job in China. I didn't. The job in China went horribly wrong and I returned 3 months and 3 weeks later. During the pandemic I was teaching and translating more than ever before. I teach English myself now (founded my company) and still earn extra translating that journal.

I love Jesus more than money Alux, cause love is priceless and cant be bought.
My father told me, "Son don't worry about money; you will have plenty." Although my parents were quite successful!
@John Caron He could afford to tell you that, literally!
Serious question. Is anybody who watch Alux video really finding financial success?
My dad did something along these lines when I was a kid. Started his own business, threw all the old wisdoms out of the window, took a deep dive in his new life etc. Then it took my mom and my grandma several years to pay back my dad's debts, restore our middle-class status and regain our self-respect.
Anybody that thinks they shouldn’t take advice from older people is lost and have fun
Hey Alux im from uganda and glad about what you're planning to do for the unprivileged with education . I request you extend financial literacy compaigns in schools as well . God bless you
ALUX FAM✊. This is one of my favorite channels. I've learned a lot about life, career etc thanks to your constant research. More grace to the team, God bless 🙏
Thank you Alux for supporting my country Uganda. I love your inspirational and motivational videos, they have helped me to navigate life in a difficult environment. Much love!
Not my dad but my grand dad. "Work hard and it will pay off." He didn't really add context to what that meant. He also lived in a different time. Companies became cutthroat. Well...they were always cut throat, but unions forced them to negotiate. Then everyone went along with the "if you try hard enough you will make it in life" approach. You have to stick with the times and try to stay ahead of the curve to make it. Being loyal to a company often means jack shit.
1:37-1:43 - Bill Gates may argue with you on this one. His last rule on a set of rules he lectured a group of teenagers on went like this: "Be nice to nerds. Chances are, you'll be working for one".
Nerds mostly don't get straight A's but are creative thinkers and action takers always seeking to do there own thing. ✌
While I agree with most of what’s presented in this video, it becomes evident that the authors know nothing about the value of education and religion. Instagram celebrities, for the most part, live a meaningless life that leads to depression and anxiety. It’s ok, they will find their refuge in religion or spirituality. In fact, research shows (education teaches you how to conduct and understand research studies, fyi) that spiritual and religious people are happier than non-religious.
Anyway, use your critical thinking when watching these videos. It’s just a tool, another price of info to consider.
Religious people can be the loneliest especially when they have kids who become depress because of their manipulative parenting🙏
@@eduardochavacano you’re referring to individual cases… I’m talking about the general population.
***this is why education is important 😉
You’re a woman. Religion and spirituality generally works better for you.
Legendary
In my opinion there's no value in religion. I walked well away from it & I'm much better off as a result.
Alux fam here. Thanks to this channel I was able to find financial stability in 4 years than the other 23 years my parents taught me on how to grow. And I’ve barely scratched the surface
7:20 listen to your elders. Applicable before the information age. All aspects of life have changed. You must adapt to the current situation.7:49 put other first _ however the truth is people will take advantage of you. (I learned that the hard way). 9:35 self limiting beliefs. You were given some bad programs by your family, and the early teachers. 11:00 do not stick with some thing just because it is familiar. 12:38 better safe than sorry. This is just plain bad advice. Playing it safe will lead you to be 'sorry'. There is unlimited abundance in the world.. 13:35 you have been programmed to believe life is a zero sum game. If you win some else must lose. WRONG. There is more than one (1) pie in the world. TRUE. 14:00 nobody is coming to save you. The road to success _ solve other people problems. Become a SME.
DAMN, watching this video makes Me Angry at my parents! But I know it’s not their fault. They were just doing what they were taught & what they thought was Best for Me and my siblings. It’s a generational mindset, however I’ma be the 1st generation that’s more financially literate. Plus my younger sister watches Alux videos aswell, I feel Like that’s progress moving forward! Always a pleasure Alux, ALUX FAM!💯🔥💪🏾
John templeton is a very rich and very religious person. Hence alux do not tell that only poor people are religious .
Life is a short trip on earth don’t only earn money also remember to earn blessings. The people that spent time only making money and hurting others will regret it because life is a test by God

but they can teach how to live each small moments even a small pastry can make u happy joy .Born poor is not your fault but dying poor is ur fault ur parents did their best
7:57 the Sabbath (7th day) is Saturday. Sunday is the first day of the week, Sunday is not the sabbath, it's not the Lord's day.
my poor father told me that I must love reading textbooks, I was born as his pension plan, and that I must also have children as my pension plan
Good advice except the one about listening to your elders. There are core strategies and priciples that can only be learned with age. Wisdom can come from any age group but especially those with a lifetime of experience. I get your point about changing times, but perhaps you can do a whole video explaining the difference between wisdom and out of touch babble. Thanks!
I think there are exceptions to every rule, but I would say, in general, Alux is right on this one, IMHO. As early as 12 years old I knew elderly people were giving antiquated advice that I would never implement in my life. Additionally, most of the advice was judgmental, based on superstition and not science, homophobic, rooted in guilt and fear from religious indoctrination, etc.

Disagree with #3: cutting expenses. Could only be true if your income is passive. Other then that should always cut liabilities and invest in assests.
Sorry Alux, Muslims don't believe that the position of the sun, moon, etc, determines one's predestination, even though God the totalitarian in determining one's faith, we still have some degree of control of our destiny

About no.7, you DO NEED contacts... Networking points you in the right direction who can help you from their mistakes.
I agree with you, I actually watched that part 3 times to make sure I was understanding what they were saying. I do believe you need someone to point you to the door and sometimes hold her door open for you. Connections are grate.

I remember the worse thing my father told me right before I graduated highschool that I needed to be serious. That I was going to be a worker bee. Get a job, work, retire, die. It made me wonder what the point of living in the first point? I'm glad I didn't listen to him, but it hurt my heart for the rest of my life he felt that way about me. He was a successful person himself and I guess I didn't understand why he didn't think I could be like him.
This is true, but hard work leads to experience to solve problems. Worst thing my father did was ban all computers in the house, then came for the cd player.
You get out what you put in, and if your dumb enough to stifle creativity in your kids you shouldn't have them in the first place.
@Angus McKee I couldn't agree more with your 2nd paragraph (especially the last half)!
I told my children not to turn out like me & study hard. All 3 have gone to university! I’ve worked hard all my life as a single parent! Now it is their responsibility
Being a decent human being should be the most important thing
I still live with them and I am so glad that I have all this information which helps me get out of the pit of lies they have and are still engraving in my life.
ALUX FAM😁❤
You didn’t do sh*t for 6 days what are you resting for is the funniest part lol!!! So true !
work every Sunday and you'll wonder why you are alone and then when you are 50 you will wonder who will take care of you
Parents/Elders advice are NOT always bad. Please put a balance.
My family is not poor at all. They are actually very rich. But I was not given hand outs most of the time. They are there for me if I truly need anything but really I was taught to make it on my own. But my grandfather was super rich AND famous. So I felt alot of pressure to follow his footsteps to do something big with my life. So I did it ❤️
Must RESPECT your elders and their knowledge. You can get alot IF your receptive to listening and understanding what they are saying to you. Carefully decipher it and you can learn alot. 😉
While I keep a lot of the values my parents taught me when they came to this country, I had to learn to unlearn a lot of stuff. I had to learn on my own. Glad ALUX is here to help me on my journey.
This, so much this! Thank you Alux for helping me break these limiting beliefs!
I am not losing friends because I am defending businessman that my people don't like. But im tired of hating rich people for no reason and making up bullshit stories when they're out here doing massive humanitarian things!!
One day, I will be rich and hated as well. That's heartbreaking, but it's their choice and I don't have to deal with it!
#Aluxfam
That corupted statement is not about hate it's about sin greed you can have mass wealth an let it be bad for you.But you can have wealth an not let it hurt you.An those who do give are free from greed an are doing good deads.
Your quote is wrong.
A-students become teachers, and B-students work for C-students.
Life experience has proven this to be true
3. It can be good at the begginig IMO, but after you earn thousands and thousands every month it's pointles.
4. Lol, my dad is that "all rich people are evil" guy. I always think to my self. "Yeah. That like 8 y. o. kid on TH-cam that earns milions by unboxing toys is definitely disgusting monster. Sure."
7. My dad once more.
9. This can be actually useful. But only in very limited extent (as you described).
10. Yeah, it might be Lords day to rest. But because I don't believe in any god, nor I am god I don't care, dad. And mom has alteration "Don't be so hard on yourself."
11. This time it's amazingly my dad's, but my mom's statement.
14. And now both of my parents's (i guess it's wrong, sorry, not my first language) statement.
Ok, now seriously. My parents are fantastic parents. They did and still do everything for me and my brothers. Also I have inborn lungs malfunction, so they are very overprotective of me, so 14 is more understandable, than others. I mean all of them are, cause that's what their parents told them and we live in ex-communist country (and they were born in it) so all this info became available only recently. But these statements are holding me back. And that's where you, Alux and similar projects and people, step in. So this is basicaly something like expression of my gratitude. 😀 Thank you Alux fam.
I agree with all of these except the part about faith in God.
The heck with religion, the poor and screw your parents too. Bow down to the almighty dollar ? Am I missing the point?
*Irrespective of the economic dip, I still thank you for the level headed financial advice. I started trading and investment with $2,000 and since following you for few weeks now. I've gotten $19,700 in my portfolio. Thanks Tamara Marquis.🇱🇷*

Good for you Victor
I grew hearing this "money don't grow on trees " ,which is complete BS in my opinion.
You get education to make good informed decisions, good education is so much more than a degree. Successful people don’t dream about becoming rich, they are rich in what they have to offer to the world.
i love this video. it exposes what the working class and middle class are really about - at least the ones who live paycheck to paycheck. some people feel they are entitled to have kids even if they are emotionally and financially unqualified. that said, these types of people inspire me to legally pay the least amount of income tax i'm obligated to pay.
i am glad i didn't have kids as i was not interested or cut out for that. 💯
"There is no nobility in poverty". Poverty can teach you things that wealth cannot. The wealthy forget a lot to a determinant.
Some of this one has some good points, but some of it lacks wisdom.
Discounting wisdom will surely end your days!
This reminds me of the opposite version of a video on what rich parents teach their kids by this channel. I rather be a rich dad that teach my kids on how to be rich and let money works for them.
Yea…. I disagree with most of the points in this video
Bless ya'll for inspiring so many to get their life in order ! 💛
I’m a Christian and I have made more money than all of the Alux group combined. The Bible doesn’t say that money is evil, it says the LOVE of money is the root of all evil. There are plenty of extremely rich people in the Bible that were God’s people. Also Sunday isn’t the Lord’s Day unless the pope is your lord. The Bible says that the 7th day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. The Seventh Day is what we call as Friday at sunset until Saturday at sunset. Isaiah 58:13,; Mark 2:27,28,;Matthew 12:7. Anyway religion doesn’t hold you back if you have a correct understanding of the one true religion. Alux keeps going down by attacking Christian beliefs.
The Bible actually has alot of practical wisdom if people just read it.
Here’s the thing Alux. Religion teaches prayers. Prayers are affirmation, which is taught by the founders of prosperity, napoleon hill in the book, “ think and grow rich, auto suggestion, which to progr the subconscious mind to reach your full potential. In addition, Jim rohn, Brian Tracy all stressed about mindset development. Also, things are changing so fast, what you say now will become obsolete, Alux 2.0 can be replacing you soon, as we speak
Sooo, don't listen to my dad because he's old and doesn't use the computer ? .. Ahhh, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" spin to get the younger crowd subscribing 🤐
Poor people aren't trying to be like everyone else, they too often are trying to "be themselves" instead of working in humility in subjugating themselves to something bigger and better and thus they stay poor. Humility, not being a standout, is what brings wealth
Associating poverty to religion is not fair. There are a lot of Christian’s who go to church who are rich
Yeah, but they compromised. All rich people who are religious did at one point or another in their life. John D. Rockefeller was very religious but he was not known to be kind to his competitors whom he had ruthlessly driven out of the market.
@@temidayoazeez what are the facts to back this? So u mean to tell me in this big world that we live in not a single rich religious Christian live in it that God himself has truly blessed without compromising? You can’t base that argument on one person like John D Rockefeller
@miztamacondatrack The Christain life was not meant to be lived rich. Jesus is the template for any one who want to live a complete perfect Christian life. You could argue time have changed. But there is a very fine line between been rich and having an uncompromised Christian life. We all make little compromises here and there including getting rich. But that doesn't mean there aren't rich people who live good moral life.
@davidj8384 provide logical arguments, please.
I am sincerely religious and truly spiritual .
In recent months some strange sentiment emerges within me : no westerner should be allowed to claim exemptions because they claim some religion . Maybe I am mistaken about this . But I receive no " slack " because I believe in my God , and it is pointless and futile to discuss religion with governments and organizations like NGOs or GONGOs . I am alone , we all are alone , most of us are poor and wounded , nothing is clear nothing is easy , although some people we meet are clearly unsteady and unreliable .
In my religion , you are alone with God , and God speaks to you by his representatives .
I could type for an hour , but feel it would be semi-futile , only half-way reaching a few .
Alux is good company .
Deuteronomy 8:17-18
You may say to yourself, "My power and the strength of my hands have produced this wealth for me."
But remember the LORD your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is today.
Oh yeah I have to unlearn many things from my parents haha
Having money and being rich is precious but resting to renew my spirituality by connecting with God is vital. If 6 days were not exactly productive, resting 1 day to rethink my strategy and revise my methods can be a game changer duh!
Thanks alux. Watching this from Uganda
After watching a few self help videos - I believe 50% is truth and 50% scam/lies/formulaic. Some of the things self help promotes makes people down right delusional. Those who really succeed never really read self help books. Perhaps they have a financial adviser or mentor or even a therapist on hand but self help books are for people who really have no idea about life or themselves. But Alux is one of the better ones...
About 1/2 the points made are right. The other half are pathetic and bound to cause people more problems than help.
