Hi Jaspreet. You are doing a great job. I just have 2 questions. 1. It's hard to believe that 80%of people in the world's greatest Economy live pay check to pay check. What is the reason in your view? 2. When you say 6 figure salary, is that individual or family income. Is that pre or post tax income?
I'm surprised you made this video. This is a very hot topic, especially on social media. Nobody wants to admit their spending habits are poor, but rather blame salary being low. In reality, it's a combination of both and the idea of personal responsibility is something that according to some prominent political figures, "racist". I hope you don't get flak from this, but it's a great topic that deserves more attention. I'm always amazed at people who live in public housing that have iPhones.
You're absolutely right, the both status are really hard but we hustle to secure financial Independent. I'm very much in need of a financial expert/advisor that can help me grow my finance
*2021 has alot opportunities for financial growth but I advices everyone to seek a financial expert to help to achieve financial growth.* *Starting out an investment is really easy and anyone can indulge. I believe in the law of compound interest and leveraging, I operate an exclusive package and so far I have compounded alot of money with Expert Margery Gledson, I reinvest consistently with Margery Gledson a license body of a broker firm.

I retired at 52, travel the world, currently in Turkey. I live very well on less than 1% of my multi million net worth... I have a $4 umbrella in my carry on only pack:) No need to flex, I don't look rich... . Years of hard work, living below my means and investing, got me to financial independence. If Jaspreet was around when I was 20, I could have retired at 35!!
Barry, you are an inspiration. I am currently 45 with a combined (with my wife) net worth of a few million dollars. My plan is to retire at 50 and enjoy life much like you are.
@** good point. I owned a construction company in Canada. I travelled the world every year for 3-4 months from the age of 28 until retirement. Two 9 month trips at 22, and 23. I visited well over 100 countries, six continents. I love scuba diving in exotic warm seas, over 700 dives, and 15 live aboard dive boats. I was underwater diving when the tsunami hit Thailand in 2004. I did not get divorced, I did have a big house and the fancy cars- that was a waste in hindsight. I wrote over 60 articles for magazines, and lectured around the world. I have led an exciting life, and it continues every day. I am living life for me, I hope you are enjoying yours
This is one of the most important videos I have ever watched in my entire life! Thank God I have siblings who care about me and made me watch this! Changed my life.

Jaspreet, I've finally come to the understanding that...From the time I wake up till the time I go to sleep, I am constantly bombarded by entities that want to seperate me from my money. TV commercials...radio ads. The big bill boards on the roadside, Check my mailbox it's always filled with garbage from people/companies that want my money. It's a constant assault on my wallet. Most people dont see it.
I read somewhere that one of the best things to do is unsubscribe from retailers. If you don't get those 'sale' emails you wouldn't think of buying their stuff.
If you don't watch a lot of TV skip the ads on TH-cam and have a Spotify premium account as well as avoiding the radio you don't get as many commercials and the quality of life and quality of entertainment is definitely a lot higher
I work at a phone company as a sales rep and I have people come in all the time trying to finance a new iPhone and most of the time they don't even ask me what the interest rate is. All they care about is the monthly payment and they don't even realize that the financing company is charging them about 40% interest. It's crazy how irresponsible some people are
@Seth Tegler yes, they want people to be in debt. For if they are in debt they are themselves setting up their life for voluntary slavery. They cannot quit their job even if they hate it. They cannot take time off even if they are sick. They can't afford anything. The way I see it is you shouldn't buy anything on payments because you haven't yet earned that money. What guarantees you that in a year or so you still have a healthy body and a stable job? So I don't have debt for that very reason.
I'm 44. Paid off my mortgage, have zero debt, have 60k already in my 7 yr old sons college 529 plan and I still feel like I'm broke. I learned when I was 25 DON'T LET THE THINGS THAT YOU OWN...OWN YOU!!! The key to is to save half of your paycheck. Pretend you only make 50% of what you make and live off that
@@JazminBautista I've always been the only one in my family that is any good with money. I keep telling my grandparents to make more than the minimum payments on their mortage. But they won't, because then they won't get that yearly tax reduction.... Which amounts to 30% of what they paid in interest... 🤷♂️🤦♂️ But alas, I'm the youngest, so they won't listen to me. 😂😅
@@IamAcerbus Realistically ~7-8 years. Optimistically ~6 years. What about you? If you're interested, I make videos about personal finance and investing and share some bits of my journey.
I have a lot of clients in the oil field and when oil was booming the majority said I made 10k a month and I spent 10k that month. I agree we have been taught to spend. (Net-zero)
I worked in Ft Nelson for a bit (northern BC gas and oil town). People had bought houses 20 years before for 100,000, and they ended up having a 500,000 mortgage.... and then came the crash. So sad that they could have had their houses paid for long before but the beer stores, pizza places, video stores and snowmobile shops got all the money. The. Whole. Town.
Went out there (Midland/Odessa Texas) for a year and came back with more dept. now I’m making 1100ish a week and still paying off the stuff I bought while working in the oil field. Worst being this stupid ass Kirby Vacuum with all these attachments that have not been used since I bought it... I hope I’m around when time travel is possible so I can go back and slab the dumb off me.
Crypto Investment is the most profitable Investment with high returns of profits. WRITE MY MANAGER MRS JENITA ON WHAT SAPP TO MAKE GREAT PROFIT IN BITCOIN *+1..9..0..1..8..4..2..4..5..7..0* Do well to tell her I reffered you to her,her strategies are top notch 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷☑️✅
My mom recently passed away a few months ago. I did things with her that I now see was toxic. Mind you, I loved her, yet I never saw it. ...when i had to cut this activity out (CASINIOS), I am not as stressed as I use to. Cutting things out and realizing I need to grow my wealth was an eye opener (loving this change). Of course, I miss and I love gambling, but realizing now I was not living up to my potential because I was spending money I could not afford to lose
I love your videos! I'm so happy I found you. My son is in his 20's and I've been sending him your videos. He's at such a great point in his life to get started down the right path and I love how you explain things
Some things, car and a house, the average income cannot afford to buy 5 of them. It's just not feasible. At least a car can be used for profit making. Maybe a house too if you can flip it for profit. All other things that aren't essential needs, I agree with your statement.
@@akin242002 right but those are assets, not liabilities. I think with a car and a house, you have to look for the monthly payment that is 10 or 20% of your monthly... dont buy a car for $500 a month if your income is only $2000 per month, rather get a cheaper car thats only $250 or less. If you cant afford to buy a house, rent a room, try to save some money up until you can afford to make a reasonable downpayment on a house to live in... but broke people say, I make 2k a month, 500 for a car, $1200 for an apartment, 800 left for all the rest, groceries, cell phone, internet, etc... its foolish, broke people stay broke that way. Rich people once made 2k a month too, they bought a 189$ per month car, rented a room for $400 a month, use a flip phone, and pay half the internet bill of the house they live in, buy good food for groceries, and still have $500 left after all that to invest, which is going to be invisible on social media for years probably.
5:10 The only way this works is if you have automatic withdrawals to investments on pay day. Then by the time you go and see that $100, you can spend it because your other money has already been put to use.
Multiple income streams are great. A 6 month emergency fund and sizeable investment portfolio kicking off dividends will also help a lot! I've found my time has been more effective concentrating on advancing in my career as doubling income every few years makes a huge difference. However, I agree that that building extra income streams is very important.
So glad we never fell into this trap or way of thinking. While all our neighbors and friends are in panic mode now, we sit here with no worries. We could lose a job and it would have no effect on our lives. It's an awesome place to be in folks...
Due to a lot of medical issues I've never been able to save up. Finally now I am at a place where I can. I have all I need to survive and keep sane while bettering myself (financially, mentally, physically, and emotionally). I'm cooking most of my meals, do a ton of odd jobs (extra cash and making connections), and spend most of my free time exercising or reading.
I was shopping in Home Depot several years ago. As I was checking out, I saw that it was pouring rain outside. They had $5 umbrellas near the checkout. I got one, still have it and use it. Also, learn how to fix and maintain things at your home, and your car. Will save you a fortune over the long run. Kill off mortgages as quickly and efficiently as possible. Do NOT carry balances on credit cards. No gambling, no strip joints. Restaurant meals and bar cocktails end up costing about 7 times what it would cost if you prepared them at home. No kidding.....take that to the bank. Or, put a little in the bank and a little more in your investment account. Don’t buy on margin.. avoid options and forex. Work hard an hustle, just like our man Jaspreet says. When you’re not sure what to do....split the difference!
Dishing out some much-needed, tough financial love. All of it is completely true. Every word. Great stuff, and keep hammering away. Somebody is bound to pay attention.
DAAAYYYUUUMMNNN the first 2 points just blew my mind. I thought I was financially responsible and now I understand what I've been doing wrong for the past years. This channel is way to good!!
THANK YOU JASPREET!! I was a Net-Zero thinker/spender. I had been watching MM videos for a few weeks before coming across this video. The first dozen videos or so I watched were definitely informative and valuable to learn about money management and how to grow wealth, but this one dropped the hammer of conviction on me and actually motivated me to take action for my future wealth. Within a week I sold my fancy Ford luxury diesel truck that I thought I was ‘affording’ the payments on, and used the equity (after making payments for a few years with an initial down payment) to buy a reliable used Toyota pickup with cloth seats. It was humbling. But now I am investing that money, previously wasted on payments, by adding to an index fund every month and saving for a real estate opportunity. And someday later in life I will walk into a Ford dealership again and buy my luxury diesel 4x4 back IN CASH. Thank you MM! Keep making vids and I’ll keep smashing 👍 33yo ~$100k income
Money is like a pillow on your bed - ots a small part of the sleeping experience, it's not the bed itself, yet it makes sleeping much more comfortable.

Hi Jaspreet, most of the things you said in your talk, I already know. However, they were great reminders to do things right. Thanks for your video. I truly enjoy them. Keep up the good work...
I buy used phones with warranty for around $150 to $175. The last one that I broke I learned how to replace the screen, home button, and camera. Cost me $65. I gave it to my son. I make about 120k a year. Wife makes about 75k. We live at 1/2 of our means. The rest goes to retirement accounts.
I just found your channel today and I have my 7yr old daughter watching your channel now. I also, liked, subscribed, hit that notification bell and shared your channel.
Yeah I don't understand those people. I see this all the time. The worst part of it is that they make minimal money but they prefer buying nice things to flex rather than focusing on more important things like fixing their leaking roof or paying off their debt.
#5 I think the best way to do well on this one is by using VALUE. You determine what the value of each item is before you buy it. If the price is more than that you don't buy it. Hey it is a fancy shirt. How often will you wear it? If the answer is once per year that shirt has very little value. If it is once a week and the shirt will last for ten years then that shirt has a lot of value. Your goal is to add value when you buy.
I love this channel. I’ve only started watching within this last month. I seriously wish these were things taught in grade school/middle school/ high school. I think I was shy about talking about money when I was younger (teens/20’s) because I was taught that socially you’re not allowed to discuss money because you don’t know someone’s finances and it could hurt someone or make them feel lesser-than to live “without”. I didn’t understand that at the time this idea is what would make me personally poor until my 30’s. I didn’t know anyone around my social circles who were being financially successful that I felt comfortable to ask how they did that. We need to talk about being financially motivated and smart with the resources given. We need to change our perception that money is a luxury, y’all... I genuinely feel like money is more like a responsibility. And the only way you get to have more of it, is when you use it wisely and with care. Know when to say “no” to a want. To Jaspareet’s point, people are constantly trying to separate you from your money. The hard part is consciously telling them and yourself no. I love how these videos encourage rather than lecture. Keep doing this Jaspareet, you are helping so many people, including this little lady over here in Utah.
Spending $200 on clothes can be good, depending on what and how much you bought. If you only bought 1 pair of jeans and a Gucci T-shirt, $200 is a total rip off. If you bought cart fulls of clothes at second hand shops, or bought long lasting quality clothing that you intend to keep forever, $200 isn't bad at all. Depends on how you spent it
I am so glad I saw this... my friend came over in her nice fancy car... I wanted one (I will keep driving my paid off car, until the wheels fall off)... this video got me right together, BIG THANKS Jaspreet!!!🤣
I'm watching this video on a $200 phone. I wish I had better knowledge of finance when i was younger but I'm starting to learn now. thank you for your videos.

Impressive, I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment.. I always tell myself you don’t need that new Aston Martin or that vacation in Hawaii just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 100grand in the S&P 500 (with the help of my advisor of course) and made 350k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I’m rounding up close to a million. Hoping to get to 2 In 6 months time

People don't really understand what a "Millionaire" really is. They think it means someone making a ton of money. Most people don't understand that being a "Millionaire" means have a net value of one million dollars when counting the NET value of ALL your assets. This means you house, retirement, savings, investments... etc, AND all your liabilities. Edit: Thank you @Dakid015 for pointing out what I left out, which was very important.
@@athena3865 I tend to think it depends on the property. Is it appreciating in value? Are you buying to resell? Is it an investment property? If so, yes it's an asset. Otherwise if you're just sitting on the property and you're accumulating debt above your market value then yes it's a liability. It just depends on how things appreciate.
I remember when I used to live the net-zero lifestyle. I lived for the weekends and couldn't wait for the end of the month to come quick enough, I then progressed to living net negative (debt) spending my future paycheques for years until I found The Total Money Make Over by Dave Ramsey. Thank God we have access to free resources like this to take us to the next level.
It took me over a decade to get out of Net Zero thinking. I actually thought Money Traps were working for me. Once your source of income stops reality set in. Thankfully I woke the F#€k up!! This information is spot on. Cheers
This guy is crazy! As in CRAZY FLIPPIN' AWESOME. Dude, why aren't there more legitimate education content that just straight up gets to the point and yet also explains things in an articulate and transparent way. I'm all about this and would be happy to promote this Mindset.
Planning and preparing your own meals is healthier anyway. My wife and I sit down every Saturday and plan our meals for the next week, then we go to the grocery store and get all the ingredients. We take turns cooking. We might go out for a meal once or twice a month. We have been doing this for 36 years.
10:26 Use a 0% credit card. Each week, squirrel away the total balance incurred (minus a share of a minimum monthly payment) since the last week on index funds in the market. That way, there is not still cash in your pocket and you'll have enough to pay down the 0% card when the 0% period is over. Don't buy extra crap you don't need.
Here’s the video in summary: - 8 out of 10 earners are broke - Most people think millionaires are lucky, but 9 out of 10 built it themselves 5 Things to Know to Build Wealth 1. Stop living in a net zero life - if you can’t buy 5 of something don’t buy 1 2. Avoid Money Traps - stop financing things you can’t afford outright 3. Grow Faster - put your money in assets aka things that put money in your pocket (stocks, real estate, & businesses), for every $5 liabilities buy $1 in assets 4. Fake Flex - use your money to build your wealth first, don’t flex 5. Understand the game - filter what is worth spending money on
Thanks for the summary! It is starting to get on my nerves that all the nuance and context that he says we should ignore are actually explanations for why some people are in "broke" situations. It may be a choice for some but not all and that needs to be acknowledged. There are just too many variables involved to think one way will work for everyone.
dude you rock. love your channel. I live this life of conservation/investing the excess, but at the same time taking time out to smell the flowers so to speak..... Thank you for the confirmation that I'm doing the right thing for me, my family, my offspring, etc. Life ALWAYS is a struggle, but material crap along the way is nearly worthless in the face of financial freedom (and compound interest). Bless you!

I have a lot of clients in the oil field and when oil was booming the majority said I made 10k a month and I spent 10k that month. I agree we have been taught to spend. (Net-zero)
I worked in Ft Nelson for a bit (northern BC gas and oil town). People had bought houses 20 years before for 100,000, and they ended up having a 500,000 mortgage.... and then came the crash. So sad that they could have had their houses paid for long before but the beer stores, pizza places, video stores and snowmobile shops got all the money. The. Whole. Town.
Went out there (Midland/Odessa Texas) for a year and came back with more dept. now I’m making 1100ish a week and still paying off the stuff I bought while working in the oil field. Worst being this stupid ass Kirby Vacuum with all these attachments that have not been used since I bought it... I hope I’m around when time travel is possible so I can go back and slab the dumb off me.
Whether 10k a day or 1$ a day we still spend it. The question is - how and where which actually makes the difference.
@@jorgewuzhear Kirby salesmen are the devil in diguise
You should say make 10 g a week and spend 11 k a week
I paid off over $7000 just this year since I wasn't driving around. I'm down to under $8100 on 1 card to pay.
Good for you mate!

You have become one of my favorite TH-camr. The best about your advises is that you truly say the reality out loud. You're a great advisor. Thank you

My mom recently passed away a few months ago. I did things with her that I now see was toxic. Mind you, I loved her, yet I never saw it.
...when i had to cut this activity out (CASINIOS), I am not as stressed as I use to. Cutting things out and realizing I need to grow my wealth was an eye opener (loving this change). Of course, I miss and I love gambling, but realizing now I was not living up to my potential because I was spending money I could not afford to lose
Be strong. Lost my father this year. Positive thoughts your way.
I love your videos! I'm so happy I found you. My son is in his 20's and I've been sending him your videos. He's at such a great point in his life to get started down the right path and I love how you explain things

@@Chahlie I just keep sending him these videos over and over an try to talk about how fun it is to watch your 100 dollars make babies :)
Rich People : I can't afford it.
Broke People : My next 12 months of salary can afford this, that's why I'm going to pay it off in 24 months.
This...lots of people will screech on about income inequality yet ignore the fact that many people are broke by choice. Mainly their bad ones.
Some things, car and a house, the average income cannot afford to buy 5 of them. It's just not feasible. At least a car can be used for profit making. Maybe a house too if you can flip it for profit.
All other things that aren't essential needs, I agree with your statement.
Rich people little while later: How can I afford it?
@@akin242002 Well he did mention that this was for stuff that wasn't essential for survival. Especially when it comes to financing.
@@akin242002 right but those are assets, not liabilities. I think with a car and a house, you have to look for the monthly payment that is 10 or 20% of your monthly... dont buy a car for $500 a month if your income is only $2000 per month, rather get a cheaper car thats only $250 or less. If you cant afford to buy a house, rent a room, try to save some money up until you can afford to make a reasonable downpayment on a house to live in... but broke people say, I make 2k a month, 500 for a car, $1200 for an apartment, 800 left for all the rest, groceries, cell phone, internet, etc... its foolish, broke people stay broke that way. Rich people once made 2k a month too, they bought a 189$ per month car, rented a room for $400 a month, use a flip phone, and pay half the internet bill of the house they live in, buy good food for groceries, and still have $500 left after all that to invest, which is going to be invisible on social media for years probably.
Perfect timing with this video because social media have people going in debt to upkeep a persona
@MINORITY MINDSET You’re not Jaspreet
Love this guy, straight shooter. That's the kind of advice we need.
Great video! Wish that I knew all this when I was in my 20's. I just forwarded it to my nephew who's in his twenties. 😀
He's saying things we all know deep down, but we need a coach to encourage us to delay gratification.
5:10 The only way this works is if you have automatic withdrawals to investments on pay day. Then by the time you go and see that $100, you can spend it because your other money has already been put to use.
Your channel is so underrated! You content need more exposure! sharing with my friends
A lesson that I learned from getting laid off:👇
Having only one income stream can be very dangerous. Build multiple income streams.
I'm Subscribing you on TH-cam... Thank's.
Multiple income streams are great. A 6 month emergency fund and sizeable investment portfolio kicking off dividends will also help a lot! I've found my time has been more effective concentrating on advancing in my career as doubling income every few years makes a huge difference. However, I agree that that building extra income streams is very important.
That’s definitely an advantage to being married to a spouse that has a good job.
Great video! I sent it to a young person I know. I hope she watches it. This should be core curriculum in schools.
Core curriculum at home... 💯
So glad we never fell into this trap or way of thinking. While all our neighbors and friends are in panic mode now, we sit here with no worries. We could lose a job and it would have no effect on our lives. It's an awesome place to be in folks...
Yes!! We're in the same position. We could stop working today and be fine for a number of years.
Due to a lot of medical issues I've never been able to save up. Finally now I am at a place where I can. I have all I need to survive and keep sane while bettering myself (financially, mentally, physically, and emotionally). I'm cooking most of my meals, do a ton of odd jobs (extra cash and making connections), and spend most of my free time exercising or reading.
Just because someone has something doesn’t mean they can afford it...TRUTH 🙌
The money trap thing was the realest shit i ever heard fr. This is an awesome video man. Love your lessons
This info should be taught in public schools. If 10% of the students took this info to heart, this world would be a better place.
I got a free umbrella from work 5 years ago and i still use it. Cause it’s fine.
I was shopping in Home Depot several years ago. As I was checking out, I saw that it was pouring rain outside. They had $5 umbrellas near the checkout. I got one, still have it and use it. Also, learn how to fix and maintain things at your home, and your car. Will save you a fortune over the long run. Kill off mortgages as quickly and efficiently as possible. Do NOT carry balances on credit cards. No gambling, no strip joints. Restaurant meals and bar cocktails end up costing about 7 times what it would cost if you prepared them at home. No kidding.....take that to the bank. Or, put a little in the bank and a little more in your investment account. Don’t buy on margin.. avoid options and forex. Work hard an hustle, just like our man Jaspreet says. When you’re not sure what to do....split the difference!
Dishing out some much-needed, tough financial love. All of it is completely true. Every word. Great stuff, and keep hammering away. Somebody is bound to pay attention.
One of the best videos yet. Must watch!
DAAAYYYUUUMMNNN the first 2 points just blew my mind. I thought I was financially responsible and now I understand what I've been doing wrong for the past years. This channel is way to good!!
A sure way to be a part of the rich statistics is to go through life buying assets not liabilities. Great vid! You have shot past 700k subs!
👌👌
THANK YOU JASPREET!!
I was a Net-Zero thinker/spender.
I had been watching MM videos for a few weeks before coming across this video. The first dozen videos or so I watched were definitely informative and valuable to learn about money management and how to grow wealth, but this one dropped the hammer of conviction on me and actually motivated me to take action for my future wealth. Within a week I sold my fancy Ford luxury diesel truck that I thought I was ‘affording’ the payments on, and used the equity (after making payments for a few years with an initial down payment) to buy a reliable used Toyota pickup with cloth seats. It was humbling. But now I am investing that money, previously wasted on payments, by adding to an index fund every month and saving for a real estate opportunity.
And someday later in life I will walk into a Ford dealership again and buy my luxury diesel 4x4 back IN CASH.
Thank you MM!

Rule of 5. I've been saving to buy whatever I want when I can afford 2 of them. I'm gonna try the 5. After seeing this
I buy used phones with warranty for around $150 to $175. The last one that I broke I learned how to replace the screen, home button, and camera. Cost me $65. I gave it to my son. I make about 120k a year. Wife makes about 75k. We live at 1/2 of our means. The rest goes to retirement accounts.
Well done Jaspreet for another great video... I will recommend this channel to my friends now.
@MINORITY MINDSET You’re not Jaspreet
I just found your channel today and I have my 7yr old daughter watching your channel now. I also, liked, subscribed, hit that notification bell and shared your channel.
*I see people fake flexing all the time!*
Why do you want to buy things you don't need to impress people you don't even like?? 🤔🤔
Yeah I don't understand those people. I see this all the time. The worst part of it is that they make minimal money but they prefer buying nice things to flex rather than focusing on more important things like fixing their leaking roof or paying off their debt.
You could at least quote the movie where you took it from... Wait a minute... You didn't want to speak about it, did you ?
Shhhh we don't speak of fight club
Status symbols seem to be very important to most people. They'd rather flex than be financially secure. It boggles my mind!
@@emptystuff1593 the quote is older than that movie, after a quick research is from an article of 1928.
#5 I think the best way to do well on this one is by using VALUE. You determine what the value of each item is before you buy it. If the price is more than that you don't buy it.
Hey it is a fancy shirt. How often will you wear it? If the answer is once per year that shirt has very little value. If it is once a week and the shirt will last for ten years then that shirt has a lot of value.
Your goal is to add value when you buy.
You drop serious knowledge and your blessings will be more valuable than coins☺️ thanks
I love this channel. I’ve only started watching within this last month. I seriously wish these were things taught in grade school/middle school/ high school. I think I was shy about talking about money when I was younger (teens/20’s) because I was taught that socially you’re not allowed to discuss money because you don’t know someone’s finances and it could hurt someone or make them feel lesser-than to live “without”. I didn’t understand that at the time this idea is what would make me personally poor until my 30’s. I didn’t know anyone around my social circles who were being financially successful that I felt comfortable to ask how they did that. We need to talk about being financially motivated and smart with the resources given. We need to change our perception that money is a luxury, y’all... I genuinely feel like money is more like a responsibility. And the only way you get to have more of it, is when you use it wisely and with care. Know when to say “no” to a want. To Jaspareet’s point, people are constantly trying to separate you from your money. The hard part is consciously telling them and yourself no. I love how these videos encourage rather than lecture. Keep doing this Jaspareet, you are helping so many people, including this little lady over here in Utah.
I stumbled on this video after having just spent $200 on clothes and feeling very lectured right now 😂😔
Spending $200 on clothes can be good, depending on what and how much you bought. If you only bought 1 pair of jeans and a Gucci T-shirt, $200 is a total rip off. If you bought cart fulls of clothes at second hand shops, or bought long lasting quality clothing that you intend to keep forever, $200 isn't bad at all. Depends on how you spent it
I am so glad I saw this... my friend came over in her nice fancy car... I wanted one (I will keep driving my paid off car, until the wheels fall off)... this video got me right together, BIG THANKS Jaspreet!!!🤣
"I bet you think this vid is about you. Don't you? Don't you?"
Life lessons teach you these things anyway,. But having videos like this, helps wake me up ! What a great personality - makes for a good teacher 😃
I love the rule of five! I’ve never heard of it before. Lookie there, I learned something. Nice.
I'm watching this video on a $200 phone. I wish I had better knowledge of finance when i was younger but I'm starting to learn now. thank you for your videos.

Impressive, I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment.. I always tell myself you don’t need that new Aston Martin or that vacation in Hawaii just yet and that mindset helps me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 100grand in the S&P 500 (with the help of my advisor of course) and made 350k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I’m rounding up close to a million. Hoping to get to 2 In 6 months time
Wow, great work. I hear it’s best to buy when stocks are on a decline, if that’s true how do financial advisors know the right stock to pick?

So glad I found this channel one of the financial channels that actually suggest things that work as opposed to people always telling you about trading
I find that if one values money, wealth, and compound interest it's easy to be smart with money. That comes through understanding
@MINORITY MINDSET You’re not Jaspreet
Great video that I had to watch multiple times! Thanks!!!
Great Video, first time I’ve heard “Henry” that’s SPOT ON - FAKE FLEX😂
Jaspreet... Thank you for good info ... Truth... Simple plain truth.
People don't really understand what a "Millionaire" really is. They think it means someone making a ton of money. Most people don't understand that being a "Millionaire" means have a net value of one million dollars when counting the NET value of ALL your assets. This means you house, retirement, savings, investments... etc, AND all your liabilities.
Edit: Thank you @Dakid015 for pointing out what I left out, which was very important.
@MINORITY MINDSET You’re not Jaspreet
Exactly this! People miss the key difference between income and wealth. I made a similar video to this on building wealth.
AND after accounting for all your liabilities!
Having a house is actually a liability. I didn't know this until I checked with my bank. I got rid of my house.
@@athena3865 I tend to think it depends on the property. Is it appreciating in value? Are you buying to resell? Is it an investment property? If so, yes it's an asset. Otherwise if you're just sitting on the property and you're accumulating debt above your market value then yes it's a liability. It just depends on how things appreciate.
I remember when I used to live the net-zero lifestyle. I lived for the weekends and couldn't wait for the end of the month to come quick enough, I then progressed to living net negative (debt) spending my future paycheques for years until I found The Total Money Make Over by Dave Ramsey.
Thank God we have access to free resources like this to take us to the next level.
It took me over a decade to get out of Net Zero thinking. I actually thought Money Traps were working for me. Once your source of income stops reality set in. Thankfully I woke the F#€k up!! This information is spot on. Cheers
This guy is crazy! As in CRAZY FLIPPIN' AWESOME. Dude, why aren't there more legitimate education content that just straight up gets to the point and yet also explains things in an articulate and transparent way. I'm all about this and would be happy to promote this Mindset.
I realized eating out everyday is too expensive. According to the 5-1 rule, I can’t afford it. Brown bagging it from now on.
Planning and preparing your own meals is healthier anyway. My wife and I sit down every Saturday and plan our meals for the next week, then we go to the grocery store and get all the ingredients. We take turns cooking. We might go out for a meal once or twice a month. We have been doing this for 36 years.
10:26 Use a 0% credit card. Each week, squirrel away the total balance incurred (minus a share of a minimum monthly payment) since the last week on index funds in the market. That way, there is not still cash in your pocket and you'll have enough to pay down the 0% card when the 0% period is over. Don't buy extra crap you don't need.
Here’s the video in summary:
- 8 out of 10 earners are broke
- Most people think millionaires are lucky, but 9 out of 10 built it themselves
5 Things to Know to Build Wealth
1. Stop living in a net zero life - if you can’t buy 5 of something don’t buy 1
2. Avoid Money Traps - stop financing things you can’t afford outright
3. Grow Faster - put your money in assets aka things that put money in your pocket (stocks, real estate, & businesses), for every $5 liabilities buy $1 in assets
4. Fake Flex - use your money to build your wealth first, don’t flex
5. Understand the game - filter what is worth spending money on
I’ve never invested where is a good place to start ?
@@chushingura4295 acorns is easy and diversified. dont really need to know anything
Thanks for the summary! It is starting to get on my nerves that all the nuance and context that he says we should ignore are actually explanations for why some people are in "broke" situations. It may be a choice for some but not all and that needs to be acknowledged. There are just too many variables involved to think one way will work for everyone.
Brother!!! You are so much more intelligent than the other channels I viewed on TH-cam. Thank you for not making this boring.
If I was a high school teacher. These videos would be mandatory.
Great to get videos like this. General education or 101 videos are the best.

dude you rock. love your channel. I live this life of conservation/investing the excess, but at the same time taking time out to smell the flowers so to speak..... Thank you for the confirmation that I'm doing the right thing for me, my family, my offspring, etc. Life ALWAYS is a struggle, but material crap along the way is nearly worthless in the face of financial freedom (and compound interest).
