NEVER every underestimate what time does for you in the long run. If you are in your 20's, 30's or 40's read this:
Here are my tips that have served me well (I've been working for 22 years):
1) Packing a lunch every day for 22 years
Lets say it saved me $5 per workday. (cost of restaurant lunch $10 - $5 cost of food from home)
$5x240 workdays= $1,200/year x 22 years= $26,400
2) Shopping at discount grocery stores
Savings of $20/week x 52 weeks= $1,040 x 22 years= $22,880
3) Driving an older car (5 to 15 years old) (paid off), never buying new, never leasing.
Savings of $300/month car payment x 12= $3,600 x 22 years= $79,200
4) Saying no to expensive brand name clothes/watches/shoes
Savings of $100 per month conservatively. $1,200 / year. x 22 years $26,400
5) Not having the newest/best iPhone(and plan) / TV / computer/ tech
Savigs $200 / month $2,400/year x 22 years= $52,800
6) Not playing the lottery $2 x 52 weeks= $104 x 22= $2,288
7) Not smoking $5/day x 365 days= $1,825 x 22 years= $40,150
$26,400+22,880+79,200+26,400+52,800+2,288+40,150= $250,118
In the last 22 years, I have enjoyed life, travelled, etc. and not spent $11,369 each year equals to $250,118.
My current net worth is over that amount, and I've never had a 6 figure income. It's really that simple.
oh about the word "cheap" I prefer the word "frugal". I say frugal because I am generous with gifts to other people (no one can call me "cheap" because they don't witness how I am frugal when it comes to spending excess money on things for *myself*.)
I think cheap means you are cheap to OTHER people. They give someone crappy gifts at Christmas, Weddings, birthdays, and don't donate to charity.
Follow 7 steps above and come back here in 22 years to thank me.

Just my input as a consumer:
-Yes, I got the coffee the first time purely to support Graham. I make my own coffee EVERY single morning so I've been buying whatever until now. But I didn't get my 2nd bag, and then just signing up for an automatic monthly subscription to support Graham, I did it because I really liked it. Does it taste good? Yes. But then it's the packaging, the marketing that I stayed on for. I love the entire design of the bankroll brand from the art style to the font. And I like seeing the bag sitting on my counter because it's so nicely packaged and the art is really appealing. The material of the bag also just feels higher quality than other major brands from the store. I also like seeing it every morning, reminding me why I'm grinding everyday, and to be smarter with my money.
I overshared just to provide additional data to consider. A lot of people are saying "just do basic brown bag packaging" because you're not on shelves and in grocery stores. And I wanted to provide my experience because it's the opposite. On the Internet I think it's the eye catching things that really sell, at least that's why I bought into it and recommend it to my friends. I think if your branding and packaging wasn't so on point, it wouldn't be this successful (in sales) with as many returning customers. I do think cards, etc. are a bit overboard, just the bag of coffee is fine! So as a consumer who's into the packaging, I think if you changed the material it wouldn't be the worst thing. I think your art and print design makes up for that!

IF, you are doing your own interviews... here is a simple thing you can add in.
Take a look at their vehicle. (You should have the plate number on the application anyway)
If they claim they are not smokers for example - and there is a pack on the dash or seat or an overflowing ashtray - well, you know there's a wee bit of deception goin' on ;)
If the vehicle obviously has not been taken care of, hasn't been washed in a year or two, bald or mismatched tires, broken/missing windows, 4 inches of trash on the floor, out of state plates, 2 year old registration tags, a dog that somehow didn't get mentioned or other interesting details that might contribute to your decision...
Trust is pretty damn important, any little indication that it might be a bit wobbly - is enough to make you step back. NEVER be desperate to fill a place.
You will spend months of misery trying to undo what you might have stepped into - and that doesn't count the actual cash you can lose in the process.

I think he got you two really good points:
1. You should partner with other companys because of you background, social media presence and expertise. This is something I was thinking about you when I knew you on YT, you have investments on almost everthing except on companies. You have a huge valuable experience and knowledge in finance produts and services and social media. You should become an angel investor,. I seriously think that would be the next big step in your life, as it was doing Youtube before. You have huge experience related to finance, money to invest and a social media presence on YT. You can offer al that on partnerships. Invest on fintech startups and another tech-related companies. I know some more people who are also into FIRE and they invested back then around $25k on early-stage startups, now that money is worth millions because that companies are now huge, these companies are Twitter and Uber. And those investments performed better as if they were putting that money into an Index Fund, etc. So, you should really look into the tech atmosphere - silicon valley, etc. As Kevin said, carefully, because there are startups that failed within 2 years. The succed will overcome the failures, so as for Kevin. You made it good investing on Yotta and now keep looking on something else. You can offer them the money, valuable experience, ideas and marketing. That's really valuable.
2. Social media presence. He is right. Hire a Social Media Manager. S/he will tell you what works better on each social media, at the end you are improving and consolidating your presence. That will grow you social media as you are capting presence on all the platforms, engaging and that is more value to your channel and for your social media brand (that you are offering 'in a pack' to the companies with your experience and money). Those 2 points I thnk will be the next point where your career blows up again.

Graham!!! I got a detailed response to all your concerns from Fundrise. Long time fan here! Below from FundRise, let me know what you think.
Thanks for reaching out. We would be happy to provide some clarity. After watching the video you provided, it appears there are five main concerns brought up: liquidity, fee structure, taxes, sustainability and positive reviews.
In regards to liquidity, Fundrise investments are long-term, as it takes time to grow the value of a real estate asset. Fundrise portfolios are comprised of our investment products — eREITs and eFunds — which plan to look for opportunities to provide liquidity to investors after approximately five years.
While you should view your investments as long term, we do offer monthly redemption plans. Each eREIT and eFund has adopted a monthly redemption plan, whereby shareholders may request that the eREIT or eFund redeem some or all of their shares, subject to certain limitations. Your redemption price may be subject to a price discount, as can be found in the attached chart, depending on when your shares are redeemed as part of the monthly redemption program. This discount represents a liquidity premium, and only applies to shares redeemed ahead of the final liquidity event as part of the monthly redemption program.
Redemption requests may be requested at any time in your account settings, and are expected to be considered over an approximate 60-90 day period. For more detail on our monthly redemption plans, please see the section titled "Redemption Plan" in the Fundrise Offering Circulars.
While many companies such as Vanguard advertise low fees, it's important to note that these fees simply represent the outermost shell of the fees applied. A public REIT ETF, like those offered on Vanguard, is simply a bundle of underlying real estate investment trusts, which themselves charge standard asset management fees. There may also be additional fees for the work of actually operating and servicing the real estate. Moreover, the aforementioned fees do not even begin to take into account the costs of going public (which are implicitly passed on to investors in publicly-traded assets, as you can read about here). The result is that seemingly "low" ETF fees (and, similarly, robo-advisor fees) are not comprehensive of the whole underlying fee structure - they are simply an overlay on top of several existing fee structures. We have a blog post which delves into this question in great detail here. In short, we believe that Fundrise investments offer lower fees and the potential for better returns.
Here at Fundrise, we deliver our fee structure in a more direct, transparent manner. As our investments are private, many of the aforementioned fees do not apply. To see how our fees compare, please click here. As you can see, our investment products pay a 0.85% annual asset management fee and a 0.15% annual advisory fee, for an all-in annual fee of 1%. Moreover, the 0.15% annual advisory fee may be waived for three months through our referral program. For a full disclosure of our fees, please see the "Management Compensation" section of each eREIT Offering Circular here.
In addition to these fees, the eFunds reserve the right to apply the potential fees below:
Development Fee of up to 5.00% of the total development costs, excluding the property. We do not intend to charge this development fee unless there is no outside real estate developer on the project, and it has not been charged to date. We cut out traditional middlemen through full vertical integration and thus are an active manager of our real estate. For example, we manage construction, leasing, architectural design, rezoning, and act as a full property manager. We have a much more active and involved definition of asset management than a conventional investment advisor that normally simply buys stocks through eTrade, for example. We believe this is one of the reasons for our solid return performance. Note that this is unique because most platforms are web products while our platform disrupts the whole value chain, from the web portal to taking these vehicles public, all the way to the physical real estate property. We're actively managing the full life cycle of the properties under management, and this fee is directly associated with this large amount of work.
Liquidation Fee of up to 1.50% of the gross proceeds from the liquidation of equity investments in real estate if our Manager is acting as the developer or is engaged by the developer to sell the units directly to homebuyer investors (HBIs). Normally a real estate developer or sales broker manages the disposition. We are by nature hands-on. If we take their place and perform this service, to ensure good execution, we would charge this industry standard cost.
Please note, our Manager may choose to waive or defer any fee payable to it under our operating agreement.
We comply with regulations and provide tax documents that are associated with these types of investments. As such, investors in each eREIT will receive a 1099-DIV. Investors in an eFund will receive a K-1, K-1 information, or substitute K-1, which will reflect their annual share of the eFund's taxable income or losses.
We intend to notify investors via email when we upload these various tax documents to the Documents tab of each investor's dashboard in advance of each tax season.
For additional high-level tax related information, please feel free to review the FAQs here. For any tax information specific to you, please consult your CPA or tax professional.
In regards to sustainability, While we cannot guarantee future returns, we employ an extremely rigorous due diligence process - historically closing on fewer than 2% of deals that cross our desk - and only underwrite deals that we believe can thrive in a variety of macroeconomic scenarios. We underwrite toward long-term trends, target locations with deeply entrenched demand drivers and structural barriers to entry, and structure our deals in a manner designed to mitigate risk and maximize recover value. That said, we cannot guarantee future returns, and it is possible that a recession or other exogenous macroeconomic tail event could negatively impact the performance of our investments.
Lastly, in regards to positive reviews, we appreciate the support of our investors who enjoy the platform.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I grew up in an extremely impoverished area. So, like you, when I married into a family of people who earned 7 figures my mind was blown. First, I was impressed with how grounded they were. Second, it took me a while to realize I didn't need to do anything to earn their respect. Third, was seeing how frugal they were vs. their actual income. They, too, only buy store brand food. Even with my divorce this year I am still in love with the family and they still treat me like I am a part of the family. A decade together will do that. Also, like your story, and mine, they come from very humble backgrounds. Not everyone with money is your stereotypical Wall-street tycoon. Sometimes, they are just average people who worked their way into extraordinary situations.

I agree that she is a self-made billionaire. The key word here being "billionaire". With her inherited wealth and fame, she could have just settled being a millionaire and would never have lacked anything in her life simply being the archetypical trust-fund kid, of which there are many. But she's hitting her BILLION thanks to her ambition and entrepreneurship. There are many millionaires out there, but to become a BILLIONAIRE takes some doing. Granted, the cushion she has for being famous and coming from wealth allowed her to take the risks necessary to become a billionaire, as you highlighted at the end of the video with your empowering conclusion.
For most of us whiners, grown in a first world country, who speak English plus one/two/three other languages, who have health and education, access to electricity, heating, cooling, internet, cars and so much clean water that we even crap in it . . . we are the Kylie Jenners of the world. We are the wealthiest, most spoiled generation to have ever lived. How many of us can turn our hundreds into thousands? How many can turn our thousands into millions? Say what you will about these "rich" kids, but if we can waste our time watching youtube videos about richER people, we are already among the richest people in the world. Perspective is everything.

"The more friendly you are with your tenants, the more likely they are to then take advantage of you." 100% truth. If you had to take one piece of wisdom away from this video, THIS would be it. This applies to practically anyone that you're dealing with transactionally, and it used to be one of my biggest downfalls. Yes, you catch more bees with honey than vinegar, but know the time and place for that, and where to draw the line. Transactions are the place to stay so firm that you almost come off cold and sterile. Whether you're signing up for a new cell phone plan, buying a car, negotiating contractual work on your home, whatever it is. Allow the other party to sweet-talk and charm you into playful joking and shooting the breeze as if you're buddies, and they WILL take you for a sucker. They'll think they have such good rapport with you that they can get away with things like cutting corners or adding a little more on to the cost. How about NO!

It's funny, there are a lot of similarities in terms of supply when it comes to housing and oil. Home constructions were booming leading up to the 2008 crisis, and then as defaults rose, new supply crashed as businesses were spooked out of the area. Oil basically experienced the same thing; just before the pandemic, shale oil companies flooded the market, caused prices to fall, spooked companies out of increasing production, and since then supply has been really constrained. Even with oil at $100 a barrel, companies are really reluctant to add more capacity; it seems investors are slow to forget past pain. There are obviously fundamental differences between the sectors (housing has a brighter future than oil), but seeing the housing construction chart made me think of the comparison.
Really good video Graham, a lot of interesting data all nicely tied together. Well done!

I agree with almost 90 percent of how you live. However when it comes to food when I go out I eat good and get what I really want. However at the same time I eat alot at home and make 5-7 egg omlettes and oatmeal with a crazy amount of fruits which doesnt cost much.
The biggest things to avoid is cars that you have to pay monthly payments on. Luckily my family is in the car business. This allows me to drive nice cars for weeks and months before selling. After 5 years Ive finally kept one car, an 06 Lexus es330 clean title. Bought for 3k gonna drive until end of 2019 or early 2020. Sell for 6300 and just upgrade to a 2013 es350 rebuilt titlefor 7k.
I have one protip for all you guys.
Find someone like me in your area that will allow you to use their acc to buy a totalled car for 500 plus buying price. Go to Copart and IAAI austion website. Find an accident totaled car.
Things to avoid- Flooded cars
mercedes and BMWS
deployed airbags
cars newer than current year -3 years. SO 2019-3 is 2016. This is a general rule but this will allow you to find pars at junkyards, ebay and aftermarket parts that cost half the price.
In general you want to find cars that are damaged from the trunk. If damaged from the front try to find cars that arent too bad. AVOID FRAME DAMAGE.
Toyota, honda, nissan, infinity have an extensive aftermarket parts market. I buy 2014 camry and accord bumpers for 40-80 dolars. Head lights for 100-120. Fender liners and fender for 30-40.
As an example. 2013 lexus es350 with 65k miles is worth 18k+ PPV. Auction value is 14k. Salvage worth is 60-70% so for our estimates we will use 15k.
15k*.70=10,500 salvage value
Hood, bumper, one headlight, lower control arm, grille=1200 in parts but in order to be conservative and get the best buy we will say for unforseen damage make it 2k.
labor to fix-1500.
tax and title 200-500. Idk about yalls state but where im from its 150 to make a salvage car rebuilt,
10500-500(title and registation)-2k(parts)-1500(labor)=6500
6500-250 towing fee-300 (auction fee)-300 (my fee)=5650.
So if you can grab this car for 5k you would be sitting at 10k in in a 17K plus car and a 20k on payments.
Lastly this Lexus is a bad example because there arent many aftermarket parts and labor is more exp. I could tech do this whole car within 8k with my resources. for other i recommend a toyota or honda 2012-2015. These same parts for lexus can be had for 450 dollars. Including less labor. This is a general rule and things are diff state to state.

I think also because bitcoin gradually gets harder and harder to mine, with the price this low, that has made mining not really profitable, Genesis Mining for example has stopped its mining contacts, Crypto Jedi has a video in that, quite interesting. I think that has cause more and more people to get out of crypto. Personally I think crypto is worthless, sure the tech might be useful, but it isn’t anywhere near as exciting as people say. These coins aren’t companies, with operations that generate cash flow, they aren’t an investment vehicle in my opinion, except for perhaps a small allocation of a portfolio, maybe 5%. In addition every new “coin” that comes on the market, devalues the others. I turn down like 1 proposal for an ad for an ICO for some new coin every week. Eventually they will all destroy each other. Come at me trolls!

I love Graham, but I have made tens of thousands door knocking in just my first year in real estate and Im only getting better. Honestly most people try it but they aren't skilled at it. Theres a lot that goes into it to be "natural" and to get an appointment at the door. I've had people invite me in their house just last week to watch the rest of the England World Cup game and talk business. 2.3 million dollar house, and now I have a listing presentation this week for it. Door knocking sucks at the beginning sure, and the odd time you get negative experiences, but the people I talk to are 98% nice to me in all honesty. It's not a game for everyone though, so Graham may have been that person, and frankly its not pleasant at the start. Nearly every time I go out I have to get pumped up and embrace the rejection. Its part of the game. But I can make a video on this and go thru the list of positives about door knocking in real estate and how it worked for me. I'm only getting better with time and experience, which lead me to strongly believe this is one of the most lucrative (and free) means of prospecting. As long as you bring value and make that person's day a bit better - door knocking is the way to go. I will quit eventually, but in the beginning to gain your communication chops, understand and adapt to different people, learn about yourself, and become a pro - this is the best way to do that. I promise you, I wouldn't write all this down for nothing because Im extremely hungry right now and need to get off this computer.

Hey Graham, Awesome video to end an awesome first year of an awesome channel!
I am a 24 year old Real Estate Investor/Agent in St. Louis, MO (Coldwell Banker!). I come from a farming/working class background, am the largest square baler (13,500 bales) in my home county back up in Western Michigan, pursued a double major in History and Accounting in undergrad, passed the CPA exam, am currently working on 2 masters degrees, and also own 6 rental properties myself. Price-points are lower in the Midwest than they are in SoCal but I am on track to become a millionaire by age 26 or 27. Your video series has been a huge encouragement to me, it has inspired me to start my own YouTube channel to share my journey and my perspective on investing, finances, real estate, farming, and life (first video will roll out within a week!).
I am super blessed to know there are others out there that are entrepreneurial, hard-working and passionate about the same things I am. I have watched almost all of your videos and have been subscribing regularly since September. Your presence has motivated me towards greater investing goals and agent development! Thanks so much for offering a great first year of content and story-sharing and I look forward to where you will go in 2018!!! May your free mentoring/coaching go to one of your other young subscribers who would benefit from it the most!
Sincerely,
Ryan L. Richert

Hi Graham, I would approach this with the frame of mind that if buying the Lambo doesn't significantly affect your lifestyle (in terms of spending), then it's no harm to indulge in something to reward yourself once in a while. As much as I share the same desire to be successful and make the most financially astute decisions... what's the point if you're never going to allow yourself to enjoy it?
I'll share a little anecdote. I was a marketing manager at a large publicly traded company and doing pretty well, and a couple of years ago, I made a good amount of money investing in gold stocks. At the time, I had a decent amount in my tax sheltered trading account to treat myself to something nice. Much like yourself, I have a weakness for cars. I got a great deal on my trade in (barely depreciated value after only owning it for a year) and topped it up another 60k and bought myself a certified pre-owned Porsche. The total cost of the Porsche was $90,000 after taxes. Now at the same time, I had the opportunity to use that money as a downpayment for a condo, and I decided against it. Two years later, my Porsche has lost half of it's value (about $45,000 if I sold privately now) and the condo project that I could have invested in has risen over $200,000. One thing that my friend said to me stuck with me and really made me realize how poor of a decision it was for me to buy the Porsche. He said: "Daniel, if you invested in the condo instead of buying the Porsche two years ago and sold it today, you would have your downpayment back and made out with a free Ferrari in profits". That one really hurt, because it's 100% true. If I invested in the condo two years ago, I could sell today and have a Ferrari 458 Italia sitting in my garage right now.
That being said, while I think this would suck for just about anybody, I'm sure it sucks a whole lot more for someone who earns a smaller income vs someone who makes a larger one. If I was in your position of owning several houses and having a strong cash flow, my mindset would probably be a lot different. It would still suck, but I wouldn't feel as beat up about it because I'm still a firm believer in building success while allowing yourself to indulge once in a while. Put it this way, if it's anything like my story where I threw everything I had to buy a nice toy, then don't do it. But if you are throwing perhaps 10% or so at a toy, then I think that's completely fair and you should let yourself do it.
I'm on my way to getting licensed in real estate now too thanks to all the motivation I've gotten from watching your videos (been watching you since you had ~3,000 subscribers), and I've told myself, when I am able to see myself making $300,000 a year in steady income, I'll treat myself to a supercar as well, but until then, I'll probably be trading this Porsche in and using the residual value to put toward a more economical (but still fun) car like the Tesla Model 3.
Hope this comment helps you in making a decision. Whatever you decide, I don't think you can really go too wrong at this point. :)
Cheers Graham.

I got a part-time job into my 10 grade year. Grades dropped asa I did. I valued money over school. I still got decent grades into my 11th grade, but then dropped that nice GPA again into the 12th grade. I graduated by the skin of my teeth, and continued to college. I was okay, and the only reason I did well was because I was paying for the privilege. And because that's what everyone else was doing. Now I'm working a salary wage, wishing I could do more with myself, but instead I'm wearing like 8 hats, and I'm making the salary of 1 hat. and with the student loans beginning, and car loan, and baby momma money, I don't gone none. Stresses me out.
Moral of my story, don't go to college kids. Don't follow the road everyone takes. Do what you love. Do what you enjoy.

Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here. It’s fun to drive up here in the Hollywood hills. But you know what I like more than materialistic things? Knowledge. In fact, I’m a lot more proud of these seven new bitconet wallets that I had to get installed to hold two thousand new bitcoins that I bought. It’s like the billionaire Warren Buffett says, “What am i gonna do?”
Now maybe you’ve seen my TEDx talk where I talk about how I started puttin 10.000$ a day right on her table. You know, I became independently financially independently in a day, not to show off it’s again about the knowledge. In fact, the real reason I keep this Lamborghini here is that it’s a reminder, that i started 137 days ago with only 25.610$, A reminder that I am really so thrilled to be right now, Sharing this amazing, glorious, SUPER and EXCITING moment of my life with all of you guys because let me tell you we are really changing the world as we know it, the world is not anymore what it used to be hmm hmm no no no it wasn’t that long ago that I was in a little town across the country sleeping on a couch in a mobile home with only forty seven satoshi in my bitconect wallet. I didn’t have a college degree, I had no opportunities.
But you know what? Something happened that changed my life. I bumped into a cryptocurrency . And another cryptocurrency. And a few more cryptocurrencies. I found five cryptocurrencies. And they showed me what they did to become multimillionaires. Again, it’s not just about money, it’s about the good life; health, wealth, love and happiness. And so I record a little video, it’s actually on my website, you can click here on this video and it’ll take you to my website where I share that Faith and belief is the one thing we will need to be able to change the world. And right now, I believe, that in this room, we have the seed, that’s gonna germinate, and that is going to EXPLODE, into an AMMMAZING opportunity for us to change this entire world. Three things that you can implement today no matter where you are in vietnam.

SMART goal is an acronym that may help with setting goals. Or it may complicate your goal.
Specific - Make the goal precise on what to do, not broad. Instead of "I want to be rich", say "I want to make X amount of money by Y date by doing Z."
Measurable - There needs to be a way to measure your progress. For example, if your goal is to focus more on your work, find a way to measure that.
Attainable - Make the goal possible. The goal can be challenging and in the sky, but make sure it's actually something that can happen. For example, a seven 7 figure income from your lemonade stand isn't attainable. A 7 figure income from your 10th year of being a real estate agent may be attainable. Even 10x-ing your subscriber amount by the end of the year is attainable.
Relevant - The goal should be relevant to your life. Make sure the goal is worthwhile, that it meets your needs and it can happen in the current environment. If you're a long-time lawyer and want to stay in that job or you're in another industry and you aren't interested in engineering, a goal to make a cheap and efficient spaceship to travel to Mars isn't relevant.
Time-bound - Make your goal have a time limit but make it possible. If your goal is to get rich quick in a week, you may want to add more time than a week.
Edit: Every comment I make has an edit. SMART planning might overcomplicate your goal, you don't need to follow this!

I am in the Real Estate Industry and find Graham to be one of the best in his field. Super relateable, genuine, honest, and just shares himself, a personal connection above the rest! He has inspired me in areas of agent development that I never dreamed I would be at by this point. He is my favorite YouTube channel, a mentor to me, and, even though I have never met him yet, with the way he cares for and interacts with his YouTube followers, I consider him a personal friend. He thoroughly believes in abundance thinking and shares the success wholeheartedly. He has changed my life! As a fellow member of the Nation Association of Realtors and subscriber to Realtor® Magazine, I highly recommend this bright young man. Good luck Graham!

Graham, I'm 28, I've been watching your videos for months, and I have taken a lot of your advice to heart. Since I began watching, I started contributing 20% to my 401k, maxed out my HSA, opened a Roth IRA, bought S&P500 index funds, bought mutual funds, and bought my first house. I'm self made, working a corporate job, and would like to create a passive income stream that would allow me the flexibility to move on to more exciting endeavors. I'd really appreciate your advice. Thanks, Eric.

Thanks for this video. This is a phenomenal video, and I hope that people can understand this; I suffer from this all the time.
There was a time where I couldn't afford food for weeks and starved more days than not. Eventually, I had income to make ends meet and eat, and I felt happy. But all my friends ended up making way more than I did and most of them simply got lucky with their interviews (many of them only needed one, yes, ONE, interview before they landed decent middle-class or upper-middle class jobs) or had someone let them into a company. So I kept searching and eventually found a job that didn't make me feel rich, but made me feel less poor than I was before, even though I had a terrible working relationship with management there (I no longer work there).
The increase in income only served to make me want more money as I saw my friends getting five or ten grand raises and bonuses. The way they talked about their income as though it was the norm really just made me feel worse about myself because they were so nonchalant about it. And that was when I should have taken a step back to appreciate what I have and just continue building myself. Honestly, the constant comparisons I made just drove me crazier and crazier. It led me to find different ways to make passive income and made me realize I needed to change careers if I wanted to pursue the life I saw for myself.
Eventually, I stumbled onto this channel. So, once again, thanks Graham. Hope your day's well.

I've been using a spreadsheet to track my monthly expenses for the past 10 years. My monthly expenses are ~$4,500 per month, and ~$3,000 comes from house/car payments (mortgage, property taxes, car payments, insurances). That leaves me with about $1,500 spent on my own personal expenses, which includes things like groceries, gas, gym membership, etc... so I think that I live pretty well within my means. These expenses have stayed the same from when I made a six figure income in my previous job, to now when I'm pacing to making a little under half of my previous with my real estate career change. While it's been tough financially making significantly less money in this transitional period, it's been comforting to know exactly what my monthly expenses are regardless of how much I am making, so I would 100% agree with you... track your spending meticulously!

Guys, you are amazing! Thank you for sharing! I'm 10 years older than you, yet I find it interseting to listen to you. Also, I would like to comment on true wealth, when you are not just rich but also happy. I feel a strong connection between income and freedom. And too many people, having a high income, don't have the freedom to be themselves or to live a relaxed life and be at peace. The money in itself does not feel like anything special, but it is the freedom and options that it provides that is sooooooo precious. The whole point of having as much passive income as possible is not to just have as much money as possible but to have the freedom to choose whatever lifestyle you want. It is the freedom that is important because it gives us an opportunity to be happy: to be doing only what we love.
There is occasionally a mental trap that can happen sometimes with people who earn a lot. They forget what they like and what makes them happy and they end up chasing money for the sake of money itself, while contributing nothing to the world. These are the people usually with prestigious careers(sometimes also business owners), who also end up chasing after title status and higher positions without realizing it. That is a whole mental problem that does not help to feel happy. Some of those rich people end up chasing after looks and spend millions of dollars on plastic surgery. In other words, they spend crazy money to impress others instead of inspiring others (like you guys do). So, I see big difference between those two kinds of rich people. The rich people who are always chasing money (and or looks/status/fame/career titles) are rich but NOT happy. And you represent the other kind of rich : you are rich AND happy. That, I believe, is the most rare combination and you are the minority.
I am very happy for you, guys. And I am very inspired as well. Thank you very much. You do not try to impress anyone. You simply inspire with honest sharing of your own experience. Keep inspiring because this is how you change the world for the better. Nobody improved anyone's life by trying to impress others. I say BRAVO to you!

I hate to hear this. It's scary Shit. I don't know if it was law school or seeing companies like Facebook violate so many privacy rights that made me want to learn about this issue, I'm glad I did. Along with what I'm sharing here, get a copy of How To Be Invisible by JJ Luna... Anyway, here's what I've done to protect myself. The following is going to sound like a lot of work, but honestly, once you get used to it, it's not burdensome...I've implemented all the following...If you haven't already, you can add at least three forms of security verification to your banks (I have multiple accounts) and only use one phone number for banks, financial and real estate accounts. You should also back up all your YouTube videos on an external drive solely for their safe keeping (you're lucky he didn't just delete all your videos like it happened to a client of mine.) Do you have a google phone number? You need one asap...also, you, need multiple emails. I have a different email account for bank accounts, another for YouTube alone, one other for the rest of my social media accounts, another for my business, another for online purchases, another for family only and one for junk emails. My passwords are all different for every single account. You also need to get a po box and/or a ups store address. I have both. If someone hacks one the damage will be minimal and the notification will give me enough time to protect all my others. Also, go file a police report. They're going to tell you they can't do anything about it because they'll claim its cyber crime, not their jurisdiction, blah blah demand to file a report even if it's just a paper signed by a detective saying you came in to report the matter. They'll give you the Federal web site and phone number, file one there as well. and get a copy of the local and federal one. If anything happens again this will be the strongest and fastest way to have authorities take action (Yea, you want to tell them who you think it is so that lead can be investigated). I'll send you a PM with the other thing I'll recommend in case that asshole is reading this....glad you made the video. Fuck that piece of Shit. Let's get that looser caught!

Been here for the last 20,000 subs, but I'd seen several videos before that. I was incredibly impressed that you stuck to your promise of responding to comments when you responded to a comment of mine - 20 minutes after I posted it, on a video that had thousands of comments. You appear to be a remarkable businessman, and a good, honest guy. You're right when you say your video seems repetitive! Because you don't flip-flop on what you say. You believe what you preach. By far my favorite channel on YouTube, and I love getting my notifications. Snapchat and Instagram are my other daily doses that I need. Ever since I subbed, I find myself filling my time with your videos. It doesn't matter if it's in the background while I play a game, or I sit down and have a Graham marathon! You encouraged me to stop sitting around and start investing again. Instead of my money just sitting in an account, it's in stocks making me money again. Now that I'm 18, I'm beginning to work towards my real estate license here in Florida, in-between classes, that is, haha. All in all, I want to say a big 'Thank you!' for all of your videos. Here's to a prosperous 2018 for myself, you, and all of your viewers! Cheers!

For those who are looking for a savings account, Goldman Sachs seems to be truest to what Graham said. PNC high yield savings excludes 10 states and the District of Columbia (all states and regions that have even one physical branch). So NY, NJ, PA, we screwed.
Synchrony Bank JUST AS OF THIS DATE 12/26/2018, has INCREASED their APY to 2.20%. This is NOT A TEASER, just their new regular rate.
According to doctor of Credit and the actual website, mysavingsdirect offers 2.4%. HOWEVER, huge caveats. A lot of mixed leaning to bad reviews, mainly about the increased wait time of transfers and holds. Like some other online savings accounts, it limits you up to a MILLION DOLLARS to keep in your account including intrest accumulation. Also to keep cost low and interest rate high, their customer service SUCKS AWFULLY, it's a true blue no frills hyi and the website is SUPER BASIC. Sometimes customers have account issues with mix ups and unable to access and such. So entrepreneurs, do your homework.
For free unlimited everywhere most interest rates dont go past 2.2%

@GrahamStephan First I want to say that I took things slightly out of context, and I'm sorry for that. I had not seen much of your content lately, this was the first video I saw in a while. Though I think some people shared my view of this.
I now want to explain why this video came off worse than intended.
I did not recognise the millionare (and I did not catch his name or who he was), therefore he came off as a staged actor from a staged scenario in an ad. I now know he was featured in an earlier video and invited here for fun. This was never made clear from the video, and many of us probably saw this as a bad promotion.
Next, the cons were only about the company, not about the risks involved with investing in the currency. To sell means someone else have to buy, meaning that someone still have to hold the currency when it ultimately falls. This currency have NOTHING but hype, which you do mention, but when that fades it will fall. This was not made clear.
People who follow you might not even realise these risks. I base this on that many people are asking about how to buy the coin. Meaning that they are new to this stuff. It might be obvious to you, but not to them.
Lastly, I havent followed meetKevin, Andrej or the other yourubers from the comments. So I did not know you were close friends "goofing around" when saying things like: (I think I heard "all in" and "to the moon.") or (Thanks for pumping my bags! :P).
This made it really seem like a truly coordinated (paid) pump and dump. I now understand you where just having fun. But doing things like that publicly can be damaging without the proper context.
It was partly unfortunate and partly a lack of oversight, but I think you can restore many peoples trust in you if you explained these things in a follow up video.
I will edit/remove my bad and hasty comments about you. I hope these things will be prevented in the future.

Thanks for the video Graham, I just did a bunch of savings/money market/CD rate research for my mom who has to take a larger portion from her 401k than she normally would because of her age. All the info you have here is great, but I just wanted to add a few more that folks might find helpful:
For savings accounts:
Discover Bank - this is the savings account I use, I've had a Discover card forever and set up my savings account with them about a year ago. Nothing but good things to say about them. They offer 2.00% at the moment, and have a promotion currently, which in my mind puts them ahead of many others. If you maintain a balance of $15k you get a $150 bonus, and if you maintain a $25k balance you get a $200 bonus.
Citizens Access - All the same benefits as the rest of the online savings accounts like Synchrony, Ally, etc...but at a 2.25% rate. My coworker uses them and has had no complaints.
As for a couple of money market accounts that seem to act very similarly to savings accounts the best options I could find were Northpointe Bank at 2.3% if you have a $25k balance and Earn.bank at 2.31% on $10k minimum balances. Those are really steep figures for many to make so may not be for everyone, but if you have that much you want to keep liquid, these could be good choices.
And if anyone is interested in CD rates since I've done a bunch of the work and you have already read to this point here you go:
1 year - 2.85% Live Oak Bank
2 year - 3.10% Kansas State Bank
3 year - 3.30% Able Banking
5 year - 3.60% Northpointe Bank
Keep up the great work Graham!

There are a lot of great comments on this board. It's been nice to read them, however (if I'm not mistaken), the list wasn't completely about the individual; It's also about what sets your product, service, opportunity, or all of the above, apart from the rest. I'll split this list and do it in 10 -
-->Why me?
1 - We have one life, so why waste it wasting each other's time?
2 - Strong moral compass - 51/49 - I aim to give more than I take.
3 - I'll do whatever it takes while the rest do whatever.
4 - The fortune is in the followup. So, expect me to be there and see it through, no matter the outcome.
5 - Macro patience. Micro speed.
--> Why my product, service, and opportunity?
6 - You're already doing it every day - spending money. I'll show you the process to redirect it, convert it, and earn from it. Why continue to spend it and watch it as it goes, when you can spend less of it, keep more of it, and watch it as it grows?
7 - It'll allow you to provide solutions and bring value to millions of people across the globe, in every major industry.
8 - Low-risk, large upside potential, and it's one of the closest things to recession proof that you'll find.
9 - It'll allow you to build leverage and take back control of your time.
10 - It'll allow you to build strong short-term and even stronger, longer-term residual financial independence.
That's a start!
P.s. Big kudos, Graham. I enjoy your content! Keep at it!

I watched the whole thing! You know, I can kind of relate to your experience. I am currently an engineering uni student and since the beginning of this year, my third, I have felt frustrated and fed up with the monotony of things. I realized that I don't really love the work I'm studying for when, during vacation, I worked at a consultancy office and had a very similar experience to what you've described. Returning to school, I suffered a severe depression, a condition which I'm still struggling with. Performing the simplest tasks became a burden, and my productivity dropped to an all time low. That's when I really started looking for alternatives which would propel me to the kind of independent and free life I want to live. My friend and I are currently working on our online business and man, does that bring joy to me! We haven't made it big yet, but I'm positive that we will be a success. In a few weeks I will drop out and pursue this business thing full time. I come from a third world developing country and there are so many business opportunities which are just waiting for someone to grab a hold of them. I haven't told many people, not even my closest friends since I know they will probably try to talk me out of it. Your videos have been a tremendous inspiration and have motivated me to strive for financial freedom. Thank you so much! Warm regards from SOUTH AFRICA!

I agree with a lot of the commenters about the 50% saving rate. That being said, great video about the power of saving early. The 8% return rate is actually pretty spot on (S&P index funds have returned 9.4% or so over the past 10 years).
I did want to give a bit of clarification from the medicine side of things. As a physician in a surgical subspecialty, I came out of medical school/college with about $370k in debt. I did a 5-year residency and 1-year fellowship in cities with fairly high costs of living (at least, to be close enough to the hospital for call), each year earning about $65k. I had to put all my debt in forbearance while I was training, so by the time I finished training that debt number was up to $490k. My wife also had college/grad school debt, so all in all we have about $720k in student loans to pay back before I even got my first paycheck as an attending. If we pay back our loans at a rate of $7000 PER MONTH, it'll still take us about 8 years to pay it all off, at which point we'll be pretty close to that 42 yo mark in the video. Granted, afterwards we'll be able to build up our savings fairly quickly, but we'll have lost out on a lot of time to take advantage of compound interest.
TLDR, go into medicine because it's what you love to do, not for the money. You can be successful a lot of different ways, just do what makes you happy.

Just excellent!
From the other side of the age barrier I wish someone like you had spoken so honestly about life.Really,other people don't care,they are obsessed about themselves and theirs.Major problem,particularly for me,learning to speak,particularly here in the UK,where your accent betrays your social background.Most of us are working class,well I am,and the reality of being working class was painful to live with,what with all these hyper-confident people all marching around London all knowing where they were going.I was carrying a mop and bucket cleaning homes between classes,the sneering was interesting and you certainly knew who your friends were.
Entering a profession was a disaster and university was a huge waste on me,I just needed the money to try and stop the sneering.You know what,it doesn't stop,now I am too fat,too thin,married to the big ginger headed guy,your kids aren't clever,the list goes on.I put this down to the insecurity of being brought up poor and knowing I have to work for a living whilst others always had so much compared to me .They went to the right schools and the confidence flowed from them,almost like success was their right,for me I knew I had to work no matter how menial.Now,I don't just care although the sudden onset of stress catches me out for no apparent reason.
Boys and girls go for it try to deal with the sneering and stress and loneliness and the jealousy(you won't believe it) ad remember it has happened to others as well.
I do respect this young gentleman for his honesty .

Anyone that buys Bitcoin and plans to invest it because they fear missing out on the opportunity should never buy it.
In this sense, you are buying EMOTIONALLY. Likely, if you buy emotionally, you will sell emotionally. If everyone starts to sell their Bitcoins, the price falls a bit, you will probably not hold it and will sell emotionally. This is true for gambling, stocks and obviously as I'm implying; crypto.
If you don't plan on investing a decent amount of money, do not buy Bitcoin. I promise you it is NOT worth it as fees will literally destroy your bank account. When I first did some exploring, I paid 155 CAD to have over $35 CAD go into fees. The closer your value of bitcoin is to one, the fees are lower. In this sense, to avoid exorbitant fees, you want to purchase a fair amount of Bitcoin, an amount closer to a single bitcoin, which is like 20k if you are trying to avoid fees.
This is similar to an analogy I saw on a wallet website mentioning fees.
Think about it as buying things with pennies compared to a loonie. Although you have the same total amount, it takes more time to add up all the pennies then it does to accept a one dollar coin. Therefore, the fees for the dollar will be much much lower as the system has to use its networks and servers to count your pennies which takes time. As this happens, it is harder for the system to count, so it will overall cost you more money to use pennies.
That is for AFTER you buy your Bitcoins and try to transfer it to a wallet for example. When buying Bitcoins from Coinbase initially, you will still get smacked with a large fee. This is definitely why I really recommend using a referral link as Coinbase gives you $10 which should cover almost all your fees.
This is obviously if you do not choose the GDAX method that Graham showed.
EDIT: A loonie is a single Canadian dollar in the form of a coin. It's called a loonie because there is a picture of a Loon on the coin. It's the same thing as an American dollar bill.

Hm I just watched a couple of Bryan's videos and I determined he's not my type of a channel to follow, I personally like you more Graham you're more real, true and legit. Bryan is more of a seller, with a fakeish learned mask of a typical US positive mindset public speaker etc. guy.. look at his website (which btw looks like those scam websites or those fitness get ripped abs in 6w program), he's selling a ton of educational products and is hence prone to be biased in portraying everything he says on YouTube (as one of his social advertising platforms to accelerate his businesses). I'm not saying he's not an expert or a success in the field. Just some of his core philosophies are IMHO fundamentally different to Graham's. As you faintly said in the interview Graham, your properties sometimes appear to "sell themselves" right - that's a fundamentally different approach to the seller/knocking on doors cold calling approach. You Graham put in the hard work of course, do extra for your clients to stand out, but you don't engage in such dehumanising offline activities to push your deals to people. You use the current technologies to your advantage well and succeed in the field with a rational and honest approach. That's a kind of a guy I'd trust and have a coffee with. You're not selling anything on your social media, at least yet. As a result, your followers in here are outgrowing the other channels because they can sense that, they see you mean well and it's just a side hobby for you to provide "free" value to people online. You, my friend, will get rewarded for this even more if you persist - YouTube revenue can grow exponentially w/ the subscribers, the community, fulfilling feeling of helping others are just a few.
Take care Graham and Bryan, this is just my take on the clash of these channels that made me appreciate Graham's approach even more. To each his own, I mean well, take this as an outlook of one of your followers from an avid YouTube generation.

Not to be sappy or anything, but this may just be my favorite channel of all time.
Graham, I have been following you since I found your channel at around 30k subscribers, and I have got to say...You are legendary. Not just the work that you do. You. It strikes deeper than WHAT your content is doing for your YouTube subscribers, WHAT you are doing for California in terms of real estate, or WHAT your investment portfolio will do for you and your family. There is a deeper meaning behind each of these WHATs, a WHY, otherwise described as the reason that you do what you do. And although you may not talk about this WHY in your videos, it is strongly felt among your viewers, and it constantly keeps us coming back to hear what words you have to offer. In a time where the internet is heavily saturated with "financial gurus" who can "help make you 500k+ this year if you buy this once in a lifetime program", you serve as a truly helpful mentor who continues to provide sound guidance to millions. A beacon who wants others to achieve financial freedom so that they no longer need to struggle to make ends meet. We know that you are here to help us. You have something within you that is invaluable to society. Something that drives you to become better every day, and inspire others to do the same. So thanks man. I owe it to you for all of the help you have given me over the past few years.
Keep on making a difference brother.

Short answer, Bitcoin is not in itself a currency in that sense, but more of a value store like Gold, but Gold in new Tech and the value that holds with the amount of work over time, the effort, costs underwent and energy spent to produce it. So what's the value then.. well, there are many, probably even more than what I can think of, but here are a few reasons in no particular order.. 1. It's the first ever crypto, 2. Everything is and by then was valued by Bitcoin, it's the reason all the other crypto's would by then have made it, Bitcoin is the conductor that was needed to slingshot Blockchain and all the other crypto's in existence and could not have happened without the sudden explosion of Bitcoin and drawing the attention it did. 3. It's the first ever truly "unregulated currency" that cannot be directly controlled by the central banks and governments, much more detailed discussions can go into this part alone. So, providing a means for real freedom to everyone not previously possible before. This obviously results in big concerns from those who where always in control and in power and this caused a sudden stir and "they" knew there was no real way to stop this for good, and thus knew they had to find other ways to beat it, and that's by joining in through Blockchain knowing they will then be able to infiltrate the system and find ways to control it, yes, the upcoming Futures will be one of many such ways... Regulating Exchanges are the other and so on... 4. There will only ever be 21M of THE crypto that changed the world as we know it, the value to that won't be in actual value, but from historical purpose and what it meant from what it did and caused, every collector out there that can afford it will want to own at least one, and there's certainly more than 21M Billionaires and multi Millionaires in the world because they would actually be deemed priceless, but there will be a hefty pricetag attached to them by then. I can go on and on about this...

As someone who loves economics, it’s tough to see so many stupid people. I love economics because it will consistently tell you how people will act in relation to money. Without any rules or regulations, people will always follow the same path because it’s just logical. For example, look up the economics of ramen in prisons. Fascinating to see people who break laws are not immune to an economy.
Anyway, it’s really really straightforward. People need a place to live. Unless 30% of the population becomes homeless, or everyone decides to become a nomad and live off the land, people will need real estate. If less people are buying, but the same number of people need a place to stay, then more people are renting. And as demand increases, and supply stays the same or increases at a lesser rate, then rental prices will increase. It’s such a straightforward economic concept and anyone who’s ever taken an intro course or watched a 10 min YouTube video on economics would understand this. People don’t realize that rental and home prices aren’t related. It’s actually rental prices and expectations that are related. If people expect that the market is going to increase, then more people will buy, and less people will rent, and prices will decrease or increase at a slower rate.
I personally do not understand how people don’t understand this concept. People will always argue, “yeah, but what about people who can’t afford to buy” but they obviously don’t understand the MACRO in macroeconomics. It’s a general assumption that obviously doesn’t apply to everyone, but it will apply to some in a “Goldilocks” region who have the freedom of choosing between buying and renting.
I like your videos. Thank you for explaining to people these simple concepts, though I wish you did get a little more technical.

TrackVisions hopefully this helps you out.
Under section 179, the model x is classified as a heavy vehicle. As it has a GVWR over 6,000 lbs. but is limited to a 25,000 dollar limit on depreciation due to no meeting the specifics required to deprecate it 100%.
Therefore under section 179, the total depreciation in the first year is 25,000.
Leaving us with 75,000 dollars (original cost of 100,000) Now assuming it’s 100% business use, we would then take 100% bonus depreciation for heavy vehicles to take the rest of the 75,000 dollars ( 100,000 - 25,000) to get the full depreciation of a model x to the full cost of purchasing the asset. Or 100% of its value.
Keep in mind both section 179 and bonus depreciation is only allowable on vehicles used more than 50% for business use.

Excellent, this is my field, I studied robotics and am currently working in big data and just starting to learn machine learning and AI as part of my Job. This is a very well researched and thought about account and you have come to the very same conclusions that I have over the years, and yes although Alexa and Siri are actually listening to us, I very much doubt that apple and google are illegally using our conversations to target ads at us, that is now currently against data protection laws as far as I am aware, but yes the current algorithms do coincide with conversations to the point that many people do indeed think that that is happening, however, it has never happened to me and after some questioning to friends that have described it happening to them, that has also been debunked.
Skynet comes to us in a different form though, in the form of weaponized robots, currently there is https://www.stopkillerrobots.org/ and also https://responsiblerobotics.org/ both of whom are comprised of robotics and AI professors and experts like Noel Sharkey who actively campaign to governments around the world to make sure that there is always a human in the loop as governments think autonomous weapons are a good idea. Yet currently even with the amazing level of AI we have got to, a robot still can't see the difference in threat between a soldier throwing a hand grenade and a child throwing a ball. So the Skynet threat comes more from humans trying to let go of the responsibility of human death than AI growing to the point that it thinks humans would enjoy life more if they weren't here. Excellent vid, thanks Graham.

I watched this entire video. You my friend, speak the truth. I'm a bit older, with experience in the corporate world, and I gotta tell you, you speak the *truth*! I always felt this sense of dread when I'd walk into the office at 9 in the morning. On days where I'd call out sick, I'd walk to the pharmacy and see people walking around, cars driving by, and I thought the SAME thing you did! "What do these people do for a living? How are they not stuck in an office building doing work. I don't want this life." This led me to be very depressed, but instead of doing what you did, I turned to drugs. Long story short, I sobered up from everything, moved away, and am now doing something I love and just got my first payment from it. And I'm working from home. I always thought that the only way to feel "success" was by achieving goals that most others in my age range were achieving, and if I wasn't, I sucked. I was a horrible person because person X and Y had this job, made this money, or had X amount of kids. That way of life just didn't work for me. I'm really happy for you that you're achieving the life you envisioned.
Granted, I might not be making anywhere near the amount of money I could be making with a normal corporate job, and I don't have the security of a steady paycheck every week, and I can't relate to any of my friends or family, but I don't care. The fact that I know how much work I put in = how much I will earn is much more enticing. Being my own boss is scary, but what risks in life aren't? The entrepreneurial life is who I am. I will go against the grain and do what I love, and even if I continuously fail, at one point:
I will succeed. And to all others out there, I hope you succeed in all that you do as well.

Damn it Graham, you’re always spot on. The reality is, college used to be a place for enlightenment, now there’s YouTube, Udemy, the great courses and places like Stanford, MIT, U of Colorado, Michigan, Texas, Harvard, [insert reputable university here] have free online courses to follow. I would like to believe that men and women should get a job first, then start investing, and then decide if a college experience would be beneficial for their lives. Obviously a full ride or fully tuition paid scholarship would be the exception. I have many friends that went to trade school and make good salaries that are better than the friends that got a bachelors or masters and it’s safe to say that the men working with their hands and not behind a desk seem to be happier with their work. College as a whole seems to be a vessel for sports revenue anymore. Good video.

Graham,
I'm not a big YouTube commenter, it's not really my thing. But nevertheless I have been following your videos for more than two years now, practically religiously for most of this year. Your content is absolute fire and I consider you to be one of my number one mentors of all time (up their with Seth Klarrman, Kanye West, and My Dad,) and I'm just one of your MILLIONS of fans!
Based on the lesson's you've taught, my background in business, and genuine interest in real estate investment, I decided a few months back to get my real estate license. I have something very big in the works, and I am quite confident you will be hearing the name Thomas Meyer Realtors LLC in the future. This is all possible because of the choices YOU have made in YOUR life. My friend you are absolutely, without a doubt, changing the world with these videos. I think for the better.
I seriously considered buying your course while I was in the process of getting my license, but I just couldn't quite justify spending 500$ after all the money I had already spent getting the license. So naturally I went back to your old videos (smashing the like button on several) and watched all the ones about becoming or being a good agent.
Luckily....... this Black Friday my credit union is doing a promotion giving me 100$ credit on my statement if I use my debit card 3 times. (USALLIANCE FINANCIAL NOT BAD) With this credit and the discount you are doing, man it was a no brainer to buy your course. I have never been happier to pay any; person, business, or entity $300 than I am to you on this fine November evening. Well I'm paying 200$ but whatever :)
Just thought you'd like to know. Happy Holidays My Friend.

I agree with many things you say. Some of them are very uncertain though - simply nobody knows. But there is one thing I totally disagree with you. I think, or actually I know :D, that trading doesn't have to be gambling as well as long term investing can. It's only about the strategy, knowledge, experience, etc. you have. The main problem is, that many people in crypto don't understand technical analysis, fundamental analysis, risk management, and so on. And many of them wants to make hundreds of percents per several days - it's almost impossible. Sometimes it happens but nobody knows when the market have reached its peak and those uneducated speculators are very greedy, so that they lose even though they could have taken a decent profit. That's one of my thoughts on what you've said :)

The barrage of negative comments here is amusing, but also depressing. It really shows how poorly North Americans are with personal finance, and have almost no clue about the value of compound interest, net worth or the power of tax savings. Everyone is looking for the instant gratification, and doesn't realize that the power of saving $1000 on taxes is like being paid $2000. Since the labour cost for it was zero hours, you've essentially decreased your total annual hours worked, while increasing your annual income paid. Then of course investing any differences means compounding the tax savings annually.
What people need to realize is this:
Yes you're paying the financing company $640 a month for the Tesla. However 562 of those dollars is being put into a special savings account called "The Government Bank of Tax Savings". At the end of the year, you get to withdraw that almost $7000.
What people actually see:
GS: "What if I told you, you could get a high end, self driving, electric car for less than $1000 a year..."
YT: "That's like less than $80 a year! Let's do it!"
GS: "Sort of, but hear me out. You're going to pay $78 a month to Tesla, but your also going to be forced to put $562 into a special government savings account. Then you get it all back at the end of the year"
YT: "What? No I can't afford to lose another $7000 over the course of 12 months!"
GS: "You're not losing any of it. You're putting it away for a year and then withdrawing it at the end of the year..."
YT: "But that's like $640 a month! Only rich people can afford that!"
GS: "You're not spending that money on anything. Rich people spend $640 a month on a car when they don't expect a return. You're getting over 85% of that back."
YT: "But how will I afford to put money away for retirement, my emergency savings and my vacation expenses? How will I afford my daily $5 coffees and the eating out I do every day at work?
GS: "You're not quite getting this I think. If you're already putting money away for retirement, emergencies and vacations, then you should already get it. $562 of those dollars that your paying on your car payment are actually paying for your retirement, emergencies and vacations. Instead of paying your savings account directly, you're instead going through Tesla, who sends it to "Government Bank of Tax Savings" and then they give it back to you. Also, why pay $5 a day for coffees as well as eating out, when you could get an excellent Keurig at home and bag your lunch from groceries is the same idea. Your up front cost seems higher, but your annual cost is much lower.
YT: "That's just nonsense! Buying groceries costs me hundreds of dollars a month, while buying a lunch only costs me $10! A Keurig and all the coffee cups costs me a few hundred dollars, when my daily coffee only costs me $5!"
GS: facepalm
On a side note: at $78 per month, if you were to factor in the cost savings over ICE vehicles for maintenance and fuel costs and also add the savings from the monthly interest ratios of investments (we will say 7% index benchmark to 3.75% finance ratio rounded off to 3%) of about a 3% increase, you could essentially be making money, instead of paying it, by buying this car (and of course, you have with YouTube revenue from this video already). This doesn't take into account battery replacement costs in 8 to 10 years, but I haven't even dipped into the math on that.
Large wall of text to say I liked this video!
EDIT: Just saw your follow up video which basically explains it all. Great job. Another subscriber here. There's needs to be more well done videos like this that explain the nuance of personal finance.

Very enjoyable watch, Graham. While others may consider this "click-bait", one has to appreciate that 99% of people do not understand - yet alone apply - principles of financial leverage. You generally have to be a business owner to understand it, as it relates to a somewhat complicated array of things like depreciation, taxable allowances, cashflow management and much else besides. But... what you are demonstrating here is, in essence, correct. I "buy" equipment and tooling for my business based on exactly the same principles. knowing that, at the end of each financial year when all the debits and credits are totalled up, the actual "out of pocket" cost is often negligible. Great video... don't worry that most people don't understand your methods... in fact, unless they operate a legitimate business, they probably won't be able to apply these principles anyway.

How can you compare BTC to the lottery? you think you have a better chance at winning the lottery than BTC doing amazing things? i think your logic is a little flawed, and we are talking about you, and you as a succecsful person have 10k to spend to have 1 BTC and be a part of something that could change the world forever. How many chances like this does anyone get to be a part of it, and as you say in your videos you are very aware of how the trust works in bitcoin and you know what bitcoin is, that it could change the lifes of very many people in poor countries all around the world, so why wouldnt you be a supporter of that? You know Bitcoin is better than banks, why not see it as an investing in something good. Think of this way people who dont support Bitcoin are not making the world a better place and that is the truth, we need to this free market for everyone in the world. Invest man, help change the world. Investing in Bitcoin is accualy making the world a better place and i think you know that. Anyone with public voice or buisnuess men should support bitcoin because it help families, kids, men, women and everyone. This is so much bigger than a speculation, it should almost be required for anyone with a heart and soul to help bitcoin grow and spread the word, help people understand what fiat money trurly is, and how we can change it all for the better. I am not preaching to you, its the truth wether you anyone likes it or not. PS: English is not my first language. Banks have never worked and you know the fiat currency all around is failing and the debt in the world is crazy!! You know theese things and there are littarly 10203120 good reasons to invest in Bitcoin there is not 1 bad one. Tell me 1 downside to invest any ammount in BTC? There is noone, if you have 20 dollars amazing you contributed to a system that make so many peoples lifes better. Maybe what you fail to see, is that that people who hold bitcoin and who has been in it for 7 years they dont care about the price (ofcourse everyone does to some degree) but most people in the comminuty we want to change the world and we will HOLD and HOLD and HOLD and WIN and WIN and WIN. You know how Trump won in 2016 is the same force with Bitcoin people who are tired and want change, they are tired of the corrupotion, tired of governments interfering with our lives and stealing from our wallets. I promise you nothing can stop Bitcoin, because the community is the strongest force on this planet who will not stop untill Bitcoin is and becomes the "moon".

Long story, but a good one. I watched the whole thing. I’ve had a similar experience, a soul crushing job. For me it was more the managers that made the experience terrible, because they treated me like scum and like I was supposed to bow to them as royalty. It’s like they did whatever they want but would really put you down if you ever made even the smallest mistake. Thankfully, I was only there for six months and now I have a job that I actually don’t mind going to. I deliver packages for Amazon so I’m on my own all day long, don’t have anyone breathing down my shoulder. And I can put my headphones in and just go do my thing, and am outside all day moving around. And I control what time I get off, when I take my break, etc.
I think your first job just happened to be a really bad one. I’ve never had a job that had that many rules and was that serious about them, and I’ve had about 7 jobs now. So thank goodness that all jobs are not like that!
It is my dream to be a business owner or at least become financially independent one day, but in the mean time I don’t have to wake up and be depressed every day. So after watching this video I am thankful for that

I watched the whole thing! Your attitude at this place reminds me of my attitude when I was at Walmart. I started out on third shift, as a cashier, and it was hell. After about two months I was finally able to switch to 2nd shift after telling one of the managers I was ready to quit and I thought it would finally be bearable. One month in, still very hellish, and I quit. Was only making roughly $250 a week. I’m kind of ashamed of quitting without any notice, but I was depressed and it seemed like the only way. Now I work a pizza delivery job, which isn’t great, but much less mind numbing than being a cashier at Walmart and pretty easy with less hours for about 40k a year give or take a little, until I can afford to be all into real estate, rental properties, and stocks.

You are such a terrific guy Graham, I have felt EXACTLY the same way as you said, and decided I am going to be an eye doctor, and open my own practice. I was laughing most of the time in the beginning of the video because I literally have thought exactly what you thought, and how you felt. I have many plans for future investments, and you have seriously helped me find what I want to do with my life in many ways. Thank you so much Graham, you truly are a success story, and this might sound weird, but I am genuinely very proud of you, and so happy you decided to go against the norm, and do your own thing! Have a great one, and by the way, I WATCHED the WHOLE THING! Been a sub since about 3K subs, and please keep the videos comin! I promise I will like every video you come out with, I do that with only 1 other YouTuber, but I would be glad to do that with your channel as well! Have an excellent day, and you're an awesome dude!

I watched the whole thing. haha
As a software developer intern in a big corporate environment, I would like to share my experience a little bit.
At first, I was put off by the cubicle and dress code. However, there is a massive shift in the workplace culture. People, including top-level executives, are pushing for jeans, open communication, and just trying to make a less stressful work environment. There's no reason we all have to wear suit and ties when we never see our clients! And I think my workplace understands that.
It also helps that if I feel there is something that can be done better at my company in any way, I know someone will listen and something will get done about it.
Given this, I really like MY 9-5 environment, although I'll eventually leave simply because it's not fast-paced enough and I'd actually like to work for some startups or something and really be creative. That's my dream. I'm investing on the side in hopes that I can make career decisions independent of the salary.
My field makes a lot of money, and I live frugally so really, given my investing plan, I'll quickly be able to settle for lower paying, better jobs, simply because I've invested.
You can't put a price on life satisfaction. It means something different to us all and we're all going our own paths to get there. Congratulations on your ability to achieve your goals and dreams. Hopefully, I can be working on the tech I want to work on, when I want to work on it. That's my dream, and investing is an avenue to get there.
I watch your channel equally for financial along with borderline philosophical or at least reflective life-lessons. Keep producing great content!

Hey it's me again, the 1st guy who won the book and the guy who commented a few times on your channel about a few things, and yes I've made it through the end, I can't thank you enough for the time that you offer to us... I mean, I would literally spend a 1000$ from my own money right now to spend only a few hours with you, I never saw anyone in my life that guides me the way you do. I see myself through you as I'm 18 right now... I'm into investment and working on my projects, but I'm studying computer science and it's killing more and more everyday because I just feel like I want to work on my own projects (some of them were true success, end up cashing up a couple of thousands of dollars), I just want to work on my e-commerce projects all day long but I just can't because I have the feeling that by quitting, I'll be a failure to my parents but to myself too because quitting is not an answer. Thank you Graham again, I'll never forget you for the rest of my life and if I ever succeed in whatever I'm doing, I'll never forget you and mention you.

I watched the whole thing. Graham I think you are lucky.....very lucky.....The only thing worse than a completely ridiculous horrible 9-5 job is one that is just good enough......Like I have built 2 side hustle companies totaling 23-25kish/ month(then my salary), and feel if I just quit, id probably be better off in a month or so but having a salary, and a company Vehicle, and leisure and (well shoot I'm listening to you talk while I work) but its so draining.. but how does one leave a 100k a year job when its just good enough.....literally 1/3 of my income will be gone...I was going to go into real estate as well, had it all planned out, but I'm wanting something more scalable. A real-estate friend I know makes great money, she's a million dollar real estate agent, haha. but With my side companies, ive come to the realization that I want companies that are scaled outside of me. Products, businesses leveraging other peoples time. etc. I know real estate you can do that with teams and such but Im already at the 'I need to scale myself.' So I think you got lucky with the experience you had there. Because to me anyway I think having a just good enough company that holds you back from your true potential is even worse........ive been saying soon for about a year now, HAHAHA. anyway, awesome video man

That's so fucked.....people just can't put in the work, and get ahead. They have to resort to trying to steal from those who have already done the work, and continue to get better in life. You're pure garbage whoever you are that did this. Graham, I feel bad this happened to you :( You've earned so much more respect from me because instead of being dramatic about the situation, and yelling, and getting all mad, you took the whole thing as humble as you could without blowing a head gasket. That's true integrity. Respect Graham, respect. You're weekend seems to have been quite a ride, but cheer up because tomorrow's Monday, and it's the start of a new week! Things will get better, I promise you that :)

Graham, few points.
I do agree with you and so on, but there are few points I think you missed.
Everything is free, that's true.
So why are there people charing for courses crazy amout of money? Well, it's simple.
Good quality content will require a lot of effort - otherwise if people get nothing in return or little bit, there is no motivation doing it for the sake of doing it.
We need to thikn about why it's paid. The content is paid because of organization.
Hey, you can pick up a book on programming or on how to make a website, but how long will that take you? And what should you do first? Yes yes, the book tells you what to do first, but the reality is, there a steps to be taken that the book doesn't cover.
If I make a video, which means I plan out the course, I re-check it, I ship it to another professional to review the code so it's the best quality code that it can be AND then I tell people Step 1, Step 2, Step 3 or
Part 1 - Building a website HTML & CSS
Part 2 - Adding features to the website with JavaScript
Part 3 - Adding the back-end/PHP to the website
And make sub topic to that etc... exercises for the student and so on it requires a lot of time to do.
Another thing to consider is if something costs 0.25 cents, or say 5-10dollars... meh. People throw those money like it's nothing. It might be a pizza for their dinner... as you know, me and you will be able to spend a dollar to max two dollars a day and be healthy, however, people with Id say 'less knoweldge'? WIll go an spend $5 for a pizza or for some food because it's cheap.
I worked at a warehouse where you earn a minimum wage, and at a software house where you earn more of course, although where I was ud earn around 50-100% more money, which might be a lot but it's not that much... and there you had people who spend 6pounds per lunch, then 6pounds per dinner, and another 6pounds for something else. It's like they are earning more, but they are more broke than someone that earns minimum wage...
Said that... my point is, if someone pays 5-10dollars instead of 500dollars for a course, they'll have no motivation to finish it.
In fact, If I'm correct, the analytics shows that plenty of people buy a video, and they dont even watch 99% of it! Something like that.
But what if they buy t for 500dollars? There is a different psychological effect on them.
And yes, there are those scammers that people fall for... Which actually makes me think... if they scam, and I'm legit... I should go 100% on this! What the hell I'm wasting time for?!
And yeah. Totally.
If you sell a course
Price: $250
Students: 1500
THat is $250k dollars!
Take away tax 50%, you get 125k
Take the expenses to make it, so say it's 25k, and you get 100k!
There is one word for that, and it's DAMN! You do that 2-3 time a month and BAM!
Clever Programmer does it. 18months from birth and already $500k in revenue.
He sells it for $500 and get's about 2k students and does it about twice per year, but he makes it as a master mind course ish, where he helps students and hires people to actually help go throwugh his course or something like that - which is great. But then again, expenses would be bigger, but then it's legit.
There are somem people that want to change their life, but they need someone.
I knew a person that paid someone to shout at her to workout. I asked why can't you just workout by your self. She said she needs someone to shout at her etc... and she pays for that...
Which means charing a big price might be actually more beneficial than a 10dollar price, because then the person loses hope when he/she bough a 10dollar price and life didn't change - when she/he didn't do anything!
At least the 500dollars is a motivation, like the man shouting at her.
Might work on some people, or not.
You know, I got told by many people that I should go to cinema or whatever because I have paid and don't want to lose the money.
I was like, I will lose if I actually go to what I have paid, because I don't want to go. I bough soemthing and I though i'd go, but I decided to not.
Or what I often do... I buy sweets... and then I throw them into the bin wihtou topening. Most people would probably eat it and say it was their last time, but I know I did a stupid msitake buy buying it, so I just throw it away.
So I actually won.
If you get my point.
But yes, I know where your coming from, just a little insight :D

Of the 40 plus properties I have acquired in the last 5 years. I picked up a 2,488 Square Foot home for $125,000. After renovations the house was worth $180,000. I borrowed hard money to do the renovations. I was able to get a $144,000 conventional loan after repairs and walked away with $5,000 at closing! Rented the house out for 4 years at $1,750 per month and had a net income of $500 per month. Made $24,000 as a rental and sold the house for $200,000. Made $59,676 at closing when I sold it. So made a total of $83,676 on this one transaction alone! I used to be an IT trainer making $60,000 a year. I made more money on this one transaction then an entire year being an IT trainer!

I guess it's tough to say because believe it or not they are all on the same city block. I have a good manager for all three that handles the vast majority of the work. I also have 12 employees (7 of which are PT) who run the car wash, clean, take care of customer complaints, etc. The idea of a laundromat being passive is possible, but you'll likely end up with beat up machines and a dirty store if you don't have an attendant. We don't run it 24 hours because of the possibility of crime, drugs, homeless people, etc. The issue with laundromats is that they're often in the "rougher" parts of a city. I think the problem with that business for investors is that it's expensive to get into (w/ the R/E). I love the car wash business the most because I understand the pro formas/ analyses , how the machinery works, the customers' mindset, etc. Plus I'm passionate about cars lol. If I were to pick one "business" to expand it would be the automatic tunnel car wash. It can be mostly passive if you hire the right people and are set up with the right suppliers, maintenance guys, etc.

For sure! Hrmm, on second thought, maybe you should keep those old ones hidden, since your content quality is way better now, and it's good to be consistent. BTW: I haven't been a loyal fan (ashamed), I left for a while, and only started watching again, now. LOL, now that you've mastered that YouTube algorithm, your videos are popping up in my YouTube Suggestions again, Well done :)

I believe Wealthfront's FDIC insurance of $1,000,000 should be legit. Fidelity has a cash management account where they claim $1.25 million in FDIC insurance (https://www.fidelity.com/cash-management/fidelity-cash-management-account/cash-management-account-overview). Fidelity is a huge, no-joke institution, not a Silicon Valley Startup (like WealthFront and Robinhood). Also, the SEC seems to indicate that this process is legit too: https://www.sec.gov/oiea/investor-alerts-bulletins/ib_banksweep.html
That being said, if you have over $250,000 in cash, you're probably not taking savings account advice from YouTube, so it might be a moot point. (Also, if you have over $250K in cash, get that invested somewhere soon! I suppose it might be sitting on the sidelines waiting to be deployed when the right deal comes along, but that's a huge cash position.)

I love everything you said, especially your talk about YouTube ad revenue. I first uploaded to YouTube on this channel on November 16th 2017 with the goal of where I am now but a far off dream. My channel with 11,000 subs is now making about 70-100 dollars a day off of a $120 dollar investment in a Blue Yeti microphone, and $20 a month for the Adobe Suite so I can edit thumbnails in photoshop. But people tend to forget the time element!
I've put hundreds if not thousands of hours into YouTube over the last several months, and am now preparing a course that I expect will do north of $5k on launch day. Thank you so much for the content Graham, you, T.J.Fox, Becker, Cardone, Gary Vee, Tai Lopez, ETC, are doing gods work in getting people like me into the groove of entrepreneurship! Pat yourself on the back for you are helping to change lives Graham! I hope one day when my audience is larger, and I get into real estate we may be able to work together! :)
