276: Never Get Your Advice From a Millionaire

Never get advice from a millionaire. Don't get advice on what the view is like from someone half way up the tree, they can only tell you what they think the view is going to be. That's why you don't want to get advice from someone not even half way there. The problem with the Millionaire Next Door: 1) Think is too small—There's not enough zeros to last you any length of time 2) Conservation mode—Spend all energy trying to save the million. 3) Math doesn't work—$33,000 a year is no money. You can...

I come here every Friday so you can get your money right. The average American makes $58,000 a year and it costs more to live than that. How do you get out of that trap? 50% of American families have zero saved for retirement.

274: Compound Interest & The Rule of 72

The 'Rule of 72' is a simplified way to determine how long an investment will take to double, given a fixed annual rate of interest. By dividing 72 by the annual rate of return, you can know how many years it will take for your investment to double. The rule of 72 with compound interest was great back when interest rates were higher. If you gave 100K to Bank of America today, it would take 72 years for your money to double. In Japan, it costs you money to keep money in the bank. You need a new v...

273: Investing Ideas

Stocks, franchises, REITs, bonds, IRA's, 401K's—these are all places where people make investments with their dollars. To invest means to expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit or material result by putting it into financial schemes, shares, or property, or by using it to develop a commercial venture. You have to write a check, and the goal is not to break even like so many businesses do. Money desires attention and money follows attention. You will not get wealthy by mistake. I...

271: Budgets for Billionaires

Are you tired of living paycheck to paycheck? You can be making $40,000 a year or $270,000 a year—I know people who do both—and live with no money leftover at the end of the month. What can you do, besides increasing your income? Here are two things you can do to cut your expenses: 1. Reduce your tax bill—There are many things you can do to pay less to the IRS. Make all 9 exemptions. You want the government taking less from your paycheck. Don't pay people, especially the IRS, before you need to....

270: Top Tips for Increasing Sales

The ability to sell is as crucial to your success as food, water, and oxygen are to your life. Learning how to sell, and then close the deal, is what is needed in the real word to ensure you get what you want to in life—both professionally and personally. All parents are in the business of closing sales because selling is more than just products—selling is being able to persuade, convince, and gather support for your ideas and what you want to do in life—whether in business or in the home. Selli...

269: Freedom & Finances

Freedom is the power to act, speak, think as you want without hindrance or restraint. Freedom and finances are connected. To get freedom you must focus on income above saving or investing. You can't save or invest if you don't get your income right. Income—Money coming in. Expense—Money going out. Cash—Money left over. What you can raise or lower the most is what you should have your attention on. You can only lower expenses so much. That's why your attention should always be on income. Don't sp...

Saving For Retirement...Your mom told you to save for a rainy day and that a penny saved is a penny earned. If you've never been taught to make money, being taught to save money is kind of stupid.

People that actually make it put a big bet on one thing. Finances are about playing offense. Who's got your money? You need to make so much money that...

264: Why A House Is Not An Investment

Should you buy a house? What would you do if I told you a house is a terrible investment? Buying a house makes you lose mobility and during the last 100 years, adjusted for inflation, the average home has gone up 1%. If it doesn't make you money don't buy it.

262: The Next Recession

When is the next recession going to happen? A Recession is defined as a period of temporary economic decline during which trade and industrial activity are reduced, generally identified by a fall in GDP in two successive quarters. By the time the media calls it a recession it's already too late—it will be after the fact and you have already been affected.

How to Find Your Dream Job—It's been said that having a job means just over broke. You have the wrong job then. You can work for someone else and get rich. You don't have to own the business to get rich. If you are broke, it's not a dream job. A dream job is not what you want to do. A dream job will pay you enough money to make money on this planet. You don't need to love it, you need money. Don't tell me how much you love your job; tell me how much paper you get. You need to get in the right ve...

252: Time is Money

There is a direct relationship between time and money—they are connected. What do they have in common? If you want more money, you really want more time. Speed is the new big.
