Hey Noah, really appreciate you bringing these folks life experiences to us. Excellent work! Would love to hear from some rich WOMEN billionaires too! To learn how women did it, is what interests to a woman follower.
Mattress Mack, the guy with Houston Astros baseball cap, is absolute treasure and cherished by rich and poor alike. He doesn’t care about money, he cares about community. I remember when Hurricane Harvey hit some big churches were closing their doors but he opened up his huge furniture stores to let poor people in and sleep on his brand new mattresses and sofas. He didn’t care. He won our hearts. Real wealth is humanity and he has it.
I'm old enough to remember when Mac 1st started out. He acted like a goofball on commercials, like a cheap used car salesman; jumping up in the air waving that money. He had the same shtick for 40yrs. As a kid we used to laugh at him. But, it sold furniture. Behind the goofball persona was a hard working savvy businessman. He's too old now to do all that jumping around (although he still tries) and he still sells more furniture in Houston than any other outfit.
I’m not a millionaire, but have no debts and a few hundred thousands in the bank, and the key sentence for me was: “it reduces your stress a lot”. Forget about luxuries, only that one will make your life a whole lot better my friend.
If you desire nothing then its fine, but if you want something just work to achieve that. simple, stress is not necessarily a bad thing, humans do better with some stress. just don't chew more than you can eat.
"It reduces the stress alot" ... yep! That's why when people tell me money doesn't bring happiness! Well sorry to burst your bubble but for me it does and could because right now in my life I have NOTHING!!!!! Only a few thousand left in my account and I've gotta pay the mortgage, utilities etc.. and I'm 57 and STILL looking for my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Trying hard to keep positive but with one foot out the door almost about to become homeless it's kinda hard to keep a great outlook on life in general! :( Just like @leftfinned said below and I totally agree 100% "Just to not worry every day would be amazing! THANK YOU!!! Need I say more? :( Always money, money, money and HOW to get it and more of it at that when you're dirt poor. Please give me a break just once!
Matress Mack is the most intriguing, passionate, selfless person in the group. Everyone else talked about what they did or had. He talked about what he is doing for others. He is an Icon in Houston and is exactly the person he says he is. What an an amazing man.
when I lived in houston (90s) I thought he was such a ridiculous clown! After hearing what he did after the hurricanes, I have so much respect for him, this just really makes me appreciate him more:)
@@seisen919 I'm assuming starting a daycare and funding community college students just might be genuine altruism and not marketing. The gambling and sports betting, that's marketing.
Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $508k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
I'm working with a consultant named *'Nolan Velden Brent,'* whom I discovered through a CNBC interview where he was featured. After reaching out to him, he has been providing valuable entry and exit points for the securities I focus on. If you're interested in his supervision and expertise, you can look him up online using his name. Following his trade pattern has been a rewarding experience, and I have no regrets about doing so.
"Their mother did a great job at raising them". That was so.ething my dad said all the time before he passed. He worked from sun up to sun down. He also regretted not having a better relationship with us. Little did he know, we learned our work ethic and independence from him. It wasn't just mom who taught their kids to be good humans.
Sir, this is a bitter sweet trouth… I do hope you got a chance to tell him that…or convey that message in some other way so he died less….sad…. (for lack of a better word.) And if not, I hope you are not resenting it to hard, for it had to be that way, and the only thing you can change is you own present life. Take care.
Its a very easy statement when you are a multi millionairre if you had 20 people with nothing being asked Money absolutely would be the metric. Its not the metric once you have no financial worries I would say.
I wonder if that's because NASA is a fraud started up by Nazi scientist extracted from Germany at the end of the war [public records exist of this] then the fact that nobody has walked on the moon. Yeah I'd be pretty insecure if I was that guy too
The guy at 2:41 has it right. I've had tons of people tell me I should spend more, but the real benefit is simply not worrying about money. When something has to be replaced in the house or the CEL comes on in my car, there's no drama. My last job laid off our entire dept and people were crying and angry, and my former boss was stunned when I just said "Huh. When's our last day?"
@@Eirliss I was upset with my coworkers for being upset when we were laid off. I worked there 20 years, and when I started our dept had 300 people. Over the years, that went down to 20. The writing had been on the wall for years and everyone ignored it.
@@epbrown01 My stepbro worked at Lucent as a software engineer. Like many in that field, he got canned. He was depressed and lazy for months after that. My sister gave him space but eventually he had to get back out there. She searched for jobs and applied for him. Somehow he applied and got accepted into the Patent Office. He now works at home and makes around 140K. He proofreads and approves patents to go to the next step. Mostly he makes sure the application has all the Is dotted. Pretty lucky i'd say!!!! All because my sister jumped in and helped him.
@@shadoninja although that is a common thread, there are many other self-made millionaires who didn't start off that way. it makes it easier but it isn't the only way
@A Great Man Named Lieu Are you really this triggered from being a bootlicker from a 5 day old post? Also what logic are you espousing? Exploit others in order to make gains for yourself?
When compared to Mattress Mack, the ethernet guy seemed the most into selfish endeavors like spending all his millions before he dies. Is that a crime? Of course not. However, Mattress Mack is building a legacy of helping the community--rich or poor. He exhibits a higher purpose by putting his money to use as a tool for good. I admire that more.
I’ve lived in Houston my whole life and have watched Mattress Mack commercials since I was a toddler. He sets the example for not only how to run a great business, but how to manage your personal wealth to help others. No one has done more for Houstonians than him.
I live in Reno. I just read your words. Put a tear to my eye. Good people are always remembered. I didn't know how much he means to Houston. Respect for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed reading.
According to Elon Musk", Since I’ve been asked a lot: I will always advise, we buy stock in several companies that make products & services that you believe in. Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless
2:58 is why I leave work at 5:00 PM every weekday and no longer work weekends. I can always get back to the crazy grind when they’re older and don’t want to spend time with me anyway.
You are just a STATISTIC to ur company. I remember, in England a bar waiter got shot IN THE BAR and within 10 mins they had a board saying WAITER VACANCY. In office, RELATIONSHIPS ARE TRANSACTIONAL
The regret question is interesting for me because I’ve thought of it as well and it seems to me most changes I’d make are in health of my family in the last 6-7 years. The money seems to be handled with work and time. I’m not rich nor is my family but we all do well. So I believe we are BLESSED!
Read The Plant Paradox- Gundry, MD and FOOD... by Dr. Hyman. Knowledge is one part- you need discipline too. I speak from experience. I did what you want to do.
This is such valuable content. When he says “relationships are the currency of life” it hit me pretty hard. Everyone knows relationships are an important part of life and many of us take pride in “keeping our circle small” but over the last couple years I’ve found myself becoming a little bit of a hermit. I go to work, hardly go out to socialize so I can save money and to be honest a lot of the time I just don’t want to go hang out. There’s only a select few that I really feel comfortable around and enjoy spending my time with and if it doesn’t involve them then I just avoid it. This video made me realize I need to get out of the habit of turning down invites to events or when my old buddy from high school invites me on a trip somewhere. I’ve been doing that for so long that when I stop and take a look at my life I realize I hardly have any genuine relationships, a huge difference from when I was younger when I had tons of friends and was always going out. That’s not to take away from the great relationships I DO have but maybe our lives could reach so much more potential when we do allow new people in our life. You never know who you may befriend or what opportunities may come with relationships.
True but I figured out at least 50% of people are really not that interesting so I have no regret at being kind of the hermit as well sometimes. I think it's also necessary to create a product. It's something else, but I need silence for this.
The simple fact that they've been able to retire and enjoy their later years and not working themselves into the ground until they die, living with bill stress every day of their life, means it's worth it.
Well it's a trade off to be honest. To acquire that much success and money, usually takes a lifetime of work. So you tend to sacrifice your youth on hard work. To enjoy your life when you're much older. Might not be a great payoff than. I've also heard money dosent do much past a certain amount. After that it's just a dick measuring contest to see how much you can acquire.
@@loosegoose9647 no, the opposite I'd argue or a balance of both. I'm just saying what people usually sacrifice for this kind of succes. Your youth, relationships etc
@@lucidstrife7939 I’ve heard that as well but I don’t understand it. The cutoff for money and happiness is like 80-100k I think but some peoples natural passions are gonna lead them into more lucrative industries. Also someone who has visions of changing the community or world isn’t gonna be happy just making 75k it takes a lot of money to assert your influence on things like that.
The current neo-leftist culture here in America is telling people they're victims, they can't, or that is, they can't without the help of the government, without the help of White neo-leftists. That will be the death of this country and the death of people of any race, creed, or color wanting to be driven by self-initiative, entrepreneurial, goals.
I haven’t worked for someone that I could look up to and respect for a very long time. I wish that I could envision a business for myself instead of working for someone else.
If you listen carefully, he regrettet not spending more time with his loved ones. Over all, he does not seem happy to me, no matter what he claims to be. Donating is just a drug for the rich, so they think it was all worth it. I stopped working in my last job, coz I wasnt able to have a nice life with family anymore. It was a 70k job, and I dont regret any of it, but if I see my niece smile, I feel so much happier than the money I could have made for things that I dont need.
Mattress Mack has always been such a generous person to the Houston community. He does so much for those less fortunate without expecting anything in return. It was wonderful learning that he also has his own trade school and education for children. He truly has a great heart, and I'm glad this video further showed how genuine he is.
@@morriselee You should pay for your kids weddings and college if you can but I don’t know why he attributes these things to accountability when it’s easy for him with his levels of wealth.
@@NGC1433 I believe they all worked hard for their money, but a lot of people work very hard and never acquire their levels of wealth. Do they lack accountability if they can’t afford the things that come easy to these men in their states of fortune?
"Money is not the metric I use for success" hit me in the feels. As a kid all I cared about was how to make money, get money, save money, and it's gotten me no where. I think time is more valuable, you can't ever find a way to get more of that.
*THERE IS A MASSIVE SURVIVORSHIP BIAS IN THIS* In 2015 i was worth €6 million - if you had asked me at the time "was it worth the 25 years of work to get there?" *YES* Later that year i suffered brain damage in a mugging and became bankrupt. Ask me now IS it worth 25 year of your life to get rich - F-UK NO You see when you have spent 25 years of your life working at something - you simply CANT turn around and say "this is sh!t - I've wasted my life" Im incredibly grateful for the mugging - it freed me and taught me what was truly valuable in life.
@@playstationaccount4473 You aren't wrong, I'm only 3 years behind you. At some point though, I was just like "I don't care about being rich," I work but not hard enough to drain me of all my energy. There just has to be a healthy balance.
A defining element here is that some of these guys have their own identity outside of their careers and recognize that it's *life* that's important, and financial success on it's own means little (like the guy in the baseball cap, and the astronaut), and some, wow, clearly do not
I'm so glad I stumbled upon Alan Weiss' Million Dollar Consulting book. His wisdom and processes gave me the kick in the pants I needed to leave my employer and start consulting on my own. It's a lot of hard work but much more rewarding than working for someone else.
My grandpa was a millionaire once, he managed to lose almost all of his money and was a real a-hole in general. I‘m glad I met him a couple of times just so I could see the stories my father told me about him were 100% true. He died to Covid and denied until the last second that he had it. Conspiracies, a lot of divorces and no empathy whatsoever. Never had the chance to ask him, but I bet the money wasn‘t worth it.
@@MOAB-UT I don't think you udnerstand the difference between an assumption and a fact yes logically speaking your point could be truth but you can't say for sure he was like that and based on his response and your lack of answer I assume you understood it just avoid attacking the others without much insight next time
I would argue that how it's made determines whether it's worth it or not. Treat people badly and cheat your way to the top, and those deathbed memories are going to be terrible. It is possible to climb to the top without hurting people or screwing them over.
How I chose my strikes, after a loss. I went back and learned from each mistake properly always understanding how the loss occurred & how I could have avoided the bite
Mattress Mack certainly seems to be the most self aware and honest of the whole group. Some of these people seem like they are still too insecure with themselves to admit their flaws and regrets. The astronaut also seemed pretty sincere
I wonder if that's because NASA is a fraud started up by Nazi scientist extracted from Germany at the end of the war [public records exist of this] then the fact that nobody has walked on the moon. Yeah I'd be pretty insecure if I was that guy too
Mack is an absolute legend and such a hard worker he still works at the original gallery furniture I was shocked when I went and recently bought furniture there and he was right at the entrance.
Yep. Not everyone 'makes it' or has connections to rich and powerful people. Some are just destined to be broke no matter how hard they try/follow the right steps.
I hate when rich people talk about “hard work” as the reason for their success. A lot of people work hard and don’t end up with anything. Rich people hate to admit that luck plays a huge part in success.
Good friends, community, family are the most valuable things a man can have in his life. And money helps to create these things. The old man is right about this.
A study showed that when asked to millionaires/billionaires if they would prefer to be 60 years old and a billionaire or 20 years old and no money, majority said they would want to be 20 again and have no money. Money cannot buy time or youth.
If u r a zoomer then you u r in luck because we are the cusp of having rejuvenation biotechnology and mid century we will be able to reverse ageing back.
what's interesting is that the things they're most happy about having spent money on are all simple things that you don't need millions and millions for.. but like range from a few hundred dollars to a few hundred k: "best money i ever spent was on my own self development, and money spent on family like pay for college loans, pay for a wedding" --6:10 charity work and a pre-school --6:30 put our kids in good schools --6:42 we built our own home --6:49
Or just don't fall into the trap of a gigantic spectacle that will most likely fail because humans cannot communicate and compromise. Money buys you options which allows you time. Which most humans don't have
3:54 really needed to hear this one. I'm a 22-year-old software entrepreneur and the co-founder with a sales background just left my company. It's very difficult to switch gears from programming to sales but it seems like the sooner I take that leap the better off I'll be in the long run.
I’m 34, i live in Nigeria, I tried entrepreneurship when i was 30, I’m not doing very great, but I don’t beg for food, i pay like 2 staffs and I’m sincerely hoping that things will get better… hope is given for free and I’m very hopeful..
@@hectormejia5090 You're exactly right, I did some door-to-door sales in my teenage years and had a lot of friends who were in sales so I have some context. Will give it my best and see how things go.
7:57 I think i need a example here - could you think of something good related to this? ”What’s in it for me - and so it’s not what you do it’s what you create”
@@naveenmn7854 money can't buy you time but it can buy you free time to spend with your family, and you can buy a better future for your kids. So it can buy things that can make you and your family happy even if you die, it can last for many generations.
Loved the interview! Sidenote, isn't it funny that we never ask normal earning people who play games or just watch TV in their down time if the sacrifice was worth it? 😂
2:51 lmao this caught me off-guard, imagine being an astronaut who has made it out of the earth three times and still not being able fully pay your college debt
I appreciate their honesty. Too many rich people say "Oh money can't buy happiness." yeah maybe not straight up. But financial peace of mind bring a lot of happiness with it, and money can solve 98% of poor peoples problems.
Right? You may encounter other problems when you don't have to worry about money anymore, but these problems pale in comparison to having to worry about rent, food, health insurance and other basic needs to just survive.
Interesting video, but I would argue that the questions focusing on money gave them a feeling of pride which directed their responses more towards a confirmation of the personal accomplishment. A more interesting approach, I think, would be to question them on their thoughts about their legacy to the world, their communities and their families.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent amount of money with the right skills and proper understanding of how the markets works.
Startled to see Romero name mentioned here I am among his students and it have been the best decision I have made he carries every one working with him along and make sure they all make returns.
Mattress Mack is a Saint! I remember him coming to my middle school in the 80’s to give us a motivational/anti drug talk. He started out poor and remembers what is was like and helps people from all walks of life in need. Other than him, the Astronaut is the only down to earth guy. The other two are douche bags (in my opinion).
I crossed the $1M mark back in 2013 mostly buy paying off debt and investing heavily in the stock market in 2008. I agree being 'rich' (whatever your definition of rich is) doesn't make you happy, but it sure gives you the option to be miserable or not! I consider myself to be very fortunate. I barely cracked $100k salary and only then right at the end of my career. My personal relationships are much more important than they were early in life, not having to worry about money is an incredible gift.
@@mycaddigoThankyou, I was 52.. Then I retired.. At 52..:), I have taken a few part time short term contracts since. In fact I have been back at work since the start of 2022, (they made me an offer I couldn't refuse) but I finish next month.
The real secret of building wealth is by having multiple streams of income, that's includes both online and offline investments. If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you are fated to die working.
they picked 'fancy millionaires' not 'representative millionaires'. the 'average millionaire' literally saves and invests their money over a long time to become a millionaire.
I'm a blue collar millionaire. I retired in my mid 40's. I had a long term plan that worked. My goal that I succeeded in is to never having to worry about bills for the rest of my life. Getting close to 20 years of that type of freedom. Everything else above that is pure gravy.
2:43 this man is in space orbiting the earth and thinking about his own problems and debts which are down beneath him and are 100% human made what a weird thing to think about.
He’s right about accountability. Plenty of people don’t take accountability for themselves. There is plenty of prejudice, unfairness, and crappiness in life, but regardless of how bad your situation is compared to the person next you, the only way out is to climb and struggle out. Maybe someone will give you a handout or help, but at the end of the day, do you have what it takes to make good on it?
I found value in this video because your questions were tactful and these gentlemen were very interesting. I like the editing, too! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Noah, can you make a video talking about work life balance while pursuing your business dream? As someone with entrepreneur mindset myself, I find it hard to get out of my cushy corporate job because of my commitment to family (e.g: taking care of kids,..). Wonder how others think through this
You are so much more enjoyable to listen to when you are interviewing people than when doing promotions. In those moments you talk too fast and sound fake. During the interviews you were appeared relaxed, comfortable and were much easier on the ears.
Anybody can go on camera and go “yeah my life wasn’t that great because of money” but did they ever struggle to get a meal? Did they always have access to clean water? Did they always have access to health care? Dude was on point when he said “money can buy things that make you happy” what they all mean is that they could imagine a world where they were slightly happier and that is dissatisfying to them
they sure are improve their lifestyle. but after eating the most expensive food, buy most expensive car and house, then they realise, what next? is this the objective I accumulate the money? they feels void in their heart.
@@amano22 I'm pretty sure fame and status would probably be the next objective. Humans are social animals and the person who has the most people speaking to them with good relationships is doing something right.
Mattress Mack is the image of a welthty man I dream to be, such an amazing soul that uses his hard earned efforts to help other and that gets his happiness and fulfillment doing that, what a human to look up to.
I thought this was gonna be cheesy or very money focused but it turned out to be a nice insightful video about old (ish) people with experience giving good advice. Great!
Out of all these Legends,Matress Mack is number one in my books.Selfless man who I'd be proud to call my dad with or without his money...if it's to be it's up to me...I'm done (mic drop and standing ovation)😎
the first step to acquire wealth is figuring-out your goals with heIp of a financiaI pIanner, and foIIowing through with lnteIIigent ideas; you will acquire wealth in no time and also enjoy the decision of managing your money.
I became a millionaire running a paint contracting business. The coolest thing is we got to go everywhere. I have been inside military installations, university buildings, banks, hospitals, Million dollar homes, airports and the list goes on.
When it comes to investing, diversification is key, that’s why I engage in sectors based on projected growth. There’s no shortcut to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it
My first cousins a astronaut n he’s just getting started and I can’t wait to see all the amazing things he gona do hes making history n Ik all our family is proud of him even the ones he doesn’t talk to
No matter how successful someone is it's pretty arrogant to have absolutely no regrets. Those who dont regret do not apologize and those who dont regret lack self-reflection.

He also regretted not having a better relationship with us. Little did he know, we learned our work ethic and independence from him. It wasn't just mom who taught their kids to be good humans.
I’d rather have my dad around
Sir, this is a bitter sweet trouth… I do hope you got a chance to tell him that…or convey that message in some other way so he died less….sad…. (for lack of a better word.) And if not, I hope you are not resenting it to hard, for it had to be that way, and the only thing you can change is you own present life. Take care.
And your money script will ended up at "money status". I deserve it because I'm working hard for it. Pretty much the theme of your life.
@A Great Man Named Lieu did you just assume my gender????
@@MatthewSmith-uf6tr you're a dolphin?
"Money is not the metric i use for success."Yes everyone should hear this.
Its a very easy statement when you are a multi millionairre if you had 20 people with nothing being asked Money absolutely would be the metric. Its not the metric once you have no financial worries I would say.
@@anyexpat Thx for writing it before I could.
@@anyexpat He's an astronaut of course money isn't his measure of success. Being one of the few people to ever be in space probably is tho.
@Softan J Ah I don't consider pet success so I should give it away right?
@Softan J why don’t you give away all of your money?
The astronaut guy gives off the best vibes.
Agreed. He’s an amazing person. Real grateful to meet him.
Well he is a professional actor so...
Hmm.. seems you are a versatile player since you love other content not related to guitars.. 🙂
I thought the furniture guy had the realist vibe
I wonder if that's because NASA is a fraud started up by Nazi scientist extracted from Germany at the end of the war [public records exist of this] then the fact that nobody has walked on the moon. Yeah I'd be pretty insecure if I was that guy too
The guy at 2:41 has it right. I've had tons of people tell me I should spend more, but the real benefit is simply not worrying about money. When something has to be replaced in the house or the CEL comes on in my car, there's no drama. My last job laid off our entire dept and people were crying and angry, and my former boss was stunned when I just said "Huh. When's our last day?"
"Many a man thinks he is buying pleasure, when he is really selling himself to it" - Benjamin Franklin
@@Eirliss I was upset with my coworkers for being upset when we were laid off. I worked there 20 years, and when I started our dept had 300 people. Over the years, that went down to 20. The writing had been on the wall for years and everyone ignored it.
@@epbrown01 😔
@@epbrown01 My stepbro worked at Lucent as a software engineer. Like many in that field, he got canned. He was depressed and lazy for months after that. My sister gave him space but eventually he had to get back out there. She searched for jobs and applied for him. Somehow he applied and got accepted into the Patent Office. He now works at home and makes around 140K. He proofreads and approves patents to go to the next step. Mostly he makes sure the application has all the Is dotted. Pretty lucky i'd say!!!! All because my sister jumped in and helped him.

I'm glad that you found millionaires that made their money through some other means than the stock market
Yeah his other videos where he asks people how they got rich, they all gave answers that started with funding or connections from mom and dad
@@shadoninja although that is a common thread, there are many other self-made millionaires who didn't start off that way. it makes it easier but it isn't the only way

'It's hard to imagine my life working out better'
What an incredible blessing
I thought the same thing, what a privilege.
Ironic since he probably shipped millions of jobs overseas to produce Ethernet cables ruining millions of lives here 🙄
@A Great Man Named Lieu *doesn't, maybe even if we taxed him and others like him you would've been able to get a decent education 🙄
@A Great Man Named Lieu Are you really this triggered from being a bootlicker from a 5 day old post? Also what logic are you espousing? Exploit others in order to make gains for yourself?
When compared to Mattress Mack, the ethernet guy seemed the most into selfish endeavors like spending all his millions before he dies. Is that a crime? Of course not. However, Mattress Mack is building a legacy of helping the community--rich or poor. He exhibits a higher purpose by putting his money to use as a tool for good. I admire that more.
I’ve lived in Houston my whole life and have watched Mattress Mack commercials since I was a toddler. He sets the example for not only how to run a great business, but how to manage your personal wealth to help others. No one has done more for Houstonians than him.
I agree this man has a pure heart of gold
I live in Reno. I just read your words. Put a tear to my eye. Good people are always remembered. I didn't know how much he means to Houston. Respect for sharing your thoughts. I enjoyed reading.
This is something most of us ask in our minds and you went and did it! That was absolutely amazing. Thank you!
According to Elon Musk", Since I’ve been asked a lot: I will always advise, we buy stock in several companies that make products & services that you believe in. Only sell if you think their products & services are trending worse. Don’t panic when the market does. This will serve you well in the long-term.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless
May I ask which stocks are good? I've been looking at a few different ones but want others' opinions as well
What i think you need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any stock you buy at any time and you'd sure be in Profit

Great video Noah 🔥I hope everyone reading this become extremely successful in all you do God Bless
Thanks God bless you to
The regret question is interesting for me because I’ve thought of it as well and it seems to me most changes I’d make are in health of my family in the last 6-7 years. The money seems to be handled with work and time. I’m not rich nor is my family but we all do well. So I believe we are BLESSED!
Read The Plant Paradox- Gundry, MD and FOOD... by Dr. Hyman. Knowledge is one part- you need discipline too. I speak from experience. I did what you want to do.
This is such valuable content. When he says “relationships are the currency of life” it hit me pretty hard. Everyone knows relationships are an important part of life and many of us take pride in “keeping our circle small” but over the last couple years I’ve found myself becoming a little bit of a hermit. I go to work, hardly go out to socialize so I can save money and to be honest a lot of the time I just don’t want to go hang out. There’s only a select few that I really feel comfortable around and enjoy spending my time with and if it doesn’t involve them then I just avoid it. This video made me realize I need to get out of the habit of turning down invites to events or when my old buddy from high school invites me on a trip somewhere. I’ve been doing that for so long that when I stop and take a look at my life I realize I hardly have any genuine relationships, a huge difference from when I was younger when I had tons of friends and was always going out. That’s not to take away from the great relationships I DO have but maybe our lives could reach so much more potential when we do allow new people in our life. You never know who you may befriend or what opportunities may come with relationships.
Well said! Can only agree with you!
damn, thought I was the only one. Felt like there was some shit wrong with me lol
Definitely man
True but I figured out at least 50% of people are really not that interesting so I have no regret at being kind of the hermit as well sometimes. I think it's also necessary to create a product. It's something else, but I need silence for this.
me too man...fuck. thing is, im comfortable with it.....

The simple fact that they've been able to retire and enjoy their later years and not working themselves into the ground until they die, living with bill stress every day of their life, means it's worth it.
The mattress guy seems to be working hard still, but it seems to be incredibly meaningful work to him and probably most people
Well it's a trade off to be honest. To acquire that much success and money, usually takes a lifetime of work. So you tend to sacrifice your youth on hard work. To enjoy your life when you're much older. Might not be a great payoff than. I've also heard money dosent do much past a certain amount. After that it's just a dick measuring contest to see how much you can acquire.
@@lucidstrife7939 so...it's better to not enjoy any of your life rather than enjoying it when you are older???
@@loosegoose9647 no, the opposite I'd argue or a balance of both. I'm just saying what people usually sacrifice for this kind of succes. Your youth, relationships etc
@@lucidstrife7939 I’ve heard that as well but I don’t understand it. The cutoff for money and happiness is like 80-100k I think but some peoples natural passions are gonna lead them into more lucrative industries. Also someone who has visions of changing the community or world isn’t gonna be happy just making 75k it takes a lot of money to assert your influence on things like that.
the amount of time we spend believing we can't is more thank enough time to learn how you can.

The current neo-leftist culture here in America is telling people they're victims, they can't, or that is, they can't without the help of the government, without the help of White neo-leftists.

I haven’t worked for someone that I could look up to and respect for a very long time. I wish that I could envision a business for myself instead of working for someone else.
Mattress Mack really lives up to his words he spoke. He does a lot here in the Houston community. I’m from Austin!
If you listen carefully, he regrettet not spending more time with his loved ones. Over all, he does not seem happy to me, no matter what he claims to be.
Donating is just a drug for the rich, so they think it was all worth it.
I stopped working in my last job, coz I wasnt able to have a nice life with family anymore. It was a 70k job, and I dont regret any of it, but if I see my niece smile, I feel so much happier than the money I could have made for things that I dont need.
@@moritz9077 I agree he never really looks happy. I am sure it is also very stressful everything that he does and helps
Same here homie
Mattress Mack has always been such a generous person to the Houston community. He does so much for those less fortunate without expecting anything in return. It was wonderful learning that he also has his own trade school and education for children. He truly has a great heart, and I'm glad this video further showed how genuine he is.
He is smart, we are going to see (well we already do) and insane shortage of plumbers, electricians, skilled construction workers, etc...
He’s right. Accountability is becoming less and less in society
I'd pay for my kids college and weddings too if I was a millionaire
@@saintperezmusic you completely missed the point.
@@morriselee You should pay for your kids weddings and college if you can but I don’t know why he attributes these things to accountability when it’s easy for him with his levels of wealth.
@@saintperezmusic "with his levels of wealth" You missed the point again. None of the men interviewed here inherited or won their wealth in a lottery.
@@NGC1433 I believe they all worked hard for their money, but a lot of people work very hard and never acquire their levels of wealth. Do they lack accountability if they can’t afford the things that come easy to these men in their states of fortune?
"Money is not the metric I use for success" hit me in the feels. As a kid all I cared about was how to make money, get money, save money, and it's gotten me no where. I think time is more valuable, you can't ever find a way to get more of that.
*THERE IS A MASSIVE SURVIVORSHIP BIAS IN THIS* In 2015 i was worth €6 million - if you had asked me at the time "was it worth the 25 years of work to get there?" *YES*
Later that year i suffered brain damage in a mugging and became bankrupt. Ask me now IS it worth 25 year of your life to get rich - F-UK NO
You see when you have spent 25 years of your life working at something - you simply CANT turn around and say "this is sh!t - I've wasted my life"
Im incredibly grateful for the mugging - it freed me and taught me what was truly valuable in life.
@E I mean, it wasn't the best, but it was fine
Plus didn't realize early on, it's all rigged game for monopolists?
but dude.....money is also VERY important. I'm learning it the hard way at 37. Money is a necessity.
@@playstationaccount4473 You aren't wrong, I'm only 3 years behind you. At some point though, I was just like "I don't care about being rich," I work but not hard enough to drain me of all my energy. There just has to be a healthy balance.
the mattress guy kept it 100. I love that he says work hard, keep going and that he is so community focused
A defining element here is that some of these guys have their own identity outside of their careers and recognize that it's *life* that's important, and financial success on it's own means little (like the guy in the baseball cap, and the astronaut), and some, wow, clearly do not
I'm so glad I stumbled upon Alan Weiss' Million Dollar Consulting book. His wisdom and processes gave me the kick in the pants I needed to leave my employer and start consulting on my own. It's a lot of hard work but much more rewarding than working for someone else.
My grandpa was a millionaire once, he managed to lose almost all of his money and was a real a-hole in general. I‘m glad I met him a couple of times just so I could see the stories my father told me about him were 100% true. He died to Covid and denied until the last second that he had it. Conspiracies, a lot of divorces and no empathy whatsoever. Never had the chance to ask him, but I bet the money wasn‘t worth it.
Most of the A holes who make some money, lose it. Ripping people off who have long memories, worrying about someone getting a profit off them, karma
You did not have his life, yet here you are judging him. I bet when he had money and spread it around you were nice as pie to him. Facts.
@@MOAB-UT I didn't know him until I was 21 years old and he had lost all of his wealth way before then.
@@MOAB-UT I don't think you udnerstand the difference between an assumption and a fact
yes logically speaking your point could be truth but you can't say for sure he was like that
and based on his response and your lack of answer I assume you understood it
just avoid attacking the others without much insight next time
I would argue that how it's made determines whether it's worth it or not. Treat people badly and cheat your way to the top, and those deathbed memories are going to be terrible. It is possible to climb to the top without hurting people or screwing them over.
Cool insight, I appreciate an opportunity to get such knowledge. 👍

Mattress Mack certainly seems to be the most self aware and honest of the whole group. Some of these people seem like they are still too insecure with themselves to admit their flaws and regrets. The astronaut also seemed pretty sincere
I wonder if that's because NASA is a fraud started up by Nazi scientist extracted from Germany at the end of the war [public records exist of this] then the fact that nobody has walked on the moon. Yeah I'd be pretty insecure if I was that guy too
Pos lies its flat and non rotating plane
I agree
Completely agree with you
when astronaut guy said "lot of trechrous people out there" He defintely learned that hard lesson in person.
The advice from Alan Weiss at the end...absolute gold. It's not what you do. It's what you create.
Mack is an absolute legend and such a hard worker he still works at the original gallery furniture I was shocked when I went and recently bought furniture there and he was right at the entrance.
Now interview 10 people that busted their ass thier whole life and still ended up broke

Good friends, community, family are the most valuable things a man can have in his life. And money helps to create these things. The old man is right about this.
A study showed that when asked to millionaires/billionaires if they would prefer to be 60 years old and a billionaire or 20 years old and no money, majority said they would want to be 20 again and have no money. Money cannot buy time or youth.

“A rising tide rarely lifts all boats - you still have to be good when the tide is rising” Great quote. Thanks for the incredibly valuable video Noah!
what's interesting is that the things they're most happy about having spent money on are all simple things that you don't need millions and millions for.. but like range from a few hundred dollars to a few hundred k:
"best money i ever spent was on my own self development, and money spent on family like pay for college loans, pay for a wedding" --6:10
charity work and a pre-school --6:30
put our kids in good schools --6:42
we built our own home --6:49
As a 32 yr old. I hang around more with these people then people of my own age. And Bing is totally right, get yourself a good mentor!
What if I want to do something in a specific field like nursing. What could a mentor do for me there?
“If it is to be then it is up to me.” Love that quote. Great video!
Omg that dad paying for his daughter's college and wedding is amazing!! If your parents can, why not? So you can worry about other things!!
every good father pays for his daughter's wedding
Or just don't fall into the trap of a gigantic spectacle that will most likely fail because humans cannot communicate and compromise. Money buys you options which allows you time. Which most humans don't have
Some parents want to pay for it, but then expect their kid to do whatever they say since they are paying for it.

I appreciate their honesty. Too many rich people say "Oh money can't buy happiness." yeah maybe not straight up. But financial peace of mind bring a lot of happiness with it, and money can solve 98% of poor peoples problems.
Right? You may encounter other problems when you don't have to worry about money anymore, but these problems pale in comparison to having to worry about rent, food, health insurance and other basic needs to just survive.
Mattress Mack deserves all his success. What a good dude. Always giving back.
Interesting video, but I would argue that the questions focusing on money gave them a feeling of pride which directed their responses more towards a confirmation of the personal accomplishment. A more interesting approach, I think, would be to question them on their thoughts about their legacy to the world, their communities and their families.
Very interesting consideration!!
totally agree! Felt like they were trying to defend their luck & wealth rather than having an open honest conversation
THIS.
"Get off your a** and go to work" hahaha straight and to the point. He's the type of guy that would be exactly who he is whether he was rich or broke.
Exactly a true and honest individual.
Starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent amount of money with the right skills and proper understanding of how the markets works.
His trade execution quality and profiting is well structured with great financial features.
Startled to see Romero name mentioned here I am among his students and it have been the best decision I have made he carries every one working with him along and make sure they all make returns.
Good good content.
Yes I'm a living testimony of Romero pieto his platform has also done a great thing for me.
I've seen so many review about this man called Romero pieto who is he ?
Mattress Mack is a Saint! I remember him coming to my middle school in the 80’s to give us a motivational/anti drug talk. He started out poor and remembers what is was like and helps people from all walks of life in need. Other than him, the Astronaut is the only down to earth guy. The other two are douche bags (in my opinion).
'the Astronaut is the only down to earth guy' - love it. Do you write comedy?
I crossed the $1M mark back in 2013 mostly buy paying off debt and investing heavily in the stock market in 2008. I agree being 'rich' (whatever your definition of rich is) doesn't make you happy, but it sure gives you the option to be miserable or not! I consider myself to be very fortunate. I barely cracked $100k salary and only then right at the end of my career. My personal relationships are much more important than they were early in life, not having to worry about money is an incredible gift.

He’s right about accountability. Plenty of people don’t take accountability for themselves. There is plenty of prejudice, unfairness, and crappiness in life, but regardless of how bad your situation is compared to the person next you, the only way out is to climb and struggle out. Maybe someone will give you a handout or help, but at the end of the day, do you have what it takes to make good on it?
I love hearing "Relationships are the currency of life." I'm going to quote that a lot going forward.
I found value in this video because your questions were tactful and these gentlemen were very interesting. I like the editing, too! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Noah, can you make a video talking about work life balance while pursuing your business dream? As someone with entrepreneur mindset myself, I find it hard to get out of my cushy corporate job because of my commitment to family (e.g: taking care of kids,..). Wonder how others think through this
You are so much more enjoyable to listen to when you are interviewing people than when doing promotions. In those moments you talk too fast and sound fake. During the interviews you were appeared relaxed, comfortable and were much easier on the ears.
Anybody can go on camera and go “yeah my life wasn’t that great because of money” but did they ever struggle to get a meal? Did they always have access to clean water? Did they always have access to health care? Dude was on point when he said “money can buy things that make you happy” what they all mean is that they could imagine a world where they were slightly happier and that is dissatisfying to them
Some of them did I’m sure.
they sure are improve their lifestyle.
but after eating the most expensive food, buy most expensive car and house,
then they realise, what next? is this the objective I accumulate the money?
they feels void in their heart.
@@amano22 I'm pretty sure fame and status would probably be the next objective. Humans are social animals and the person who has the most people speaking to them with good relationships is doing something right.

I thought this was gonna be cheesy or very money focused but it turned out to be a nice insightful video about old (ish) people with experience giving good advice. Great!
Out of all these Legends,Matress Mack is number one in my books.Selfless man who I'd be proud to call my dad with or without his money...if it's to be it's up to me...I'm done (mic drop and standing ovation)😎

I became a millionaire running a paint contracting business. The coolest thing is we got to go everywhere. I have been inside military installations, university buildings, banks, hospitals, Million dollar homes, airports and the list goes on.
"money didnt improve my life, relationships did" gold.
When it comes to investing, diversification is key, that’s why I engage in sectors based on projected growth. There’s no shortcut to getting rich, but there are smart ways to go about it
This was really great, thanks. I’d love to watch the full uncut versions of the interviews
A lot of effort has been put into this video, thank you Noah.
Great video

Naturally, the astronaut is the most down-to-Earth guy in the video. Much respect to you, Carl.

No matter what you do you will always ask "what if" but as long as you did what you wanted to do at that time there is no regrets.
As youtube videos go this was very creative. I am extremely curious about the process went through to get these guys to agree to sit down with you.
No matter how successful someone is it's pretty arrogant to have absolutely no regrets. Those who dont regret do not apologize and those who dont regret lack self-reflection.
Not true
7:52-8:11 Wow this man just gave us the ultimate key to a successful business. That was deep.
Is that one of Tyler’s pieces on your wall? Guinn’s work is phenomenal. Also, great video. These insights are great.
"Stop telling me about yourself and tell me why I will be better after you walked away" Well said, Carl:)
I make Mack’s beds. He bought and donated so many we couldn’t produce them fast enough. Incredible man!!!
