An asset is something that puts money in your pocket.

A liability is something that takes money out of your pocket.

Wealthy people want to own assets.

I was buying a whole lot of liabilities

because I was working in this party promotion business and I wanted to look the part.

So I would make a little bit of money, buy a nice watch, make a little bit more money, put some new rims on my car,

put a new sound system in my car, put a new subwoofer in my car.

I mean, I was blowing money on all these dumb things to look like I was rich.

when in reality, I was just making a lot of other people rich.

And then I learned about this thing called investing, which really started to upset me because I thought I was doing everything right.

And I'm reading these books that are talking about how every wealthy person invests in real estate.

I have no idea what that means.

Nobody in my family is a real estate investor.

I had never heard of this concept of real estate investing before.

I don't know what it is, but if wealthy people are real estate investors and I want to become wealthy,

maybe I should invest in real estate.

So when I was 19, I'm now studying to get into medical school because I still think that I'm going to become a doctor.

And I was bored out of my mind because I would spend all day, 10 to 12 hours a day in the library studying.

and this was around 2011.

And the reason why I say the year is because if you remember, 2008 was the great financial crisis.

That was when we had the real estate collapse in America.

So real estate prices were decimated and they didn't hit rock bottom until 2012.

That's why I'm saying this.

So 2011, I'm studying to take the medical college admission test, the MCAT.

and I'm reading these books talking about how wealthy people invest in real estate.

And now I'm making a little bit of money from this party business

and have a little bit of cash in the bank.

So during my breaks, when I'm studying for the test, I started looking on the internet websites of finance.

And they all talk about how real estate prices have hit rock bottom, how real estate is being decimated in America.

And so I was like, well, maybe I start looking to buy real estate and so on august 22nd i took the medical college admission test

and then on august 23rd i purchased my first real estate investment property

it was a small condo that i purchased out of foreclosure a few years prior it had sold

for a little bit over 150 000 and then like many properties it went through foreclosure the banks couldn't sell it.

And it was listed on sale for $8 ,400.

That was the total price of the condo.

So I came in with an offer of $4 ,000 because I don't know how this real estate investing stuff works.

And we would bank it forth with the bank.

The bank said, we'll sell it to you for $7 ,000.

I tried to negotiate them even lower.

And then the bank said that they had another offer on the table.

So now it's a bidding war and I had to pay, offer my highest invest price.

So I said, I'm willing to offer $8 ,000 to buy the condo, no more.

And they accepted my bid.

So I purchased this condo for $8 ,000.

I put in a few thousand dollars worth of work.

And then I rented it out for $600 a month.

And now I start to question things.

Why did nobody tell me about this? this condo is putting

money into my pocket without me having to do something because I own this asset.

We're all taught to trade our time for dollars.

We're all taught to work, to get paid, because that's what we're taught to do.

But wealthy people are not working for a bigger salary.

They're working for more assets because that can continue to pay you even when you're not working.

And that's that shift when I saw that, that really sparked a fire under me and really made me angry.

And I don't know why I got so angry, but I got angry because I felt like I was checking all the boxes.

I was doing good in school.

I bust my butt in school.

I was going to do all the right things, become a doctor and do everything that I was told.

But what I didn't realize is those boxes weren't my boxes.

Who created these boxes?

And why is there this whole world of financial education that we're never taught?

Because if this is how wealthy people build and grow their wealth, why is everybody else not taught this?

So I want to make a distinction here.

Are you saying that in order to build wealth, people should buy a house?

No. If you want to build wealth, you have to buy assets.

When people say buy a house, What does that mean to most people's eyes?

It means bye.

my home yeah i want to buy this nice place for me to live

which is what most people do

when they get a bit of money they take their salary from work

and then they go and buy a house to live in

and then they pay into the mortgage which means

that they are now building an asset right they're building what many people call generational wealth

which is one of the biggest lies when it comes to money.

The reason why is because your house is actually a money pit.

The way you build wealth in the stock market is not by chasing hot stocks.

It's through what I call ABB, Always Be Buying.

And I just wrote a brand new book called ABB, Always Be Buying, How You Can Build Wealth in Any Market,

where I break down the exact strategy of how you can build wealth in the stock market

and turn your extra money into income or more wealth.

That way you cannot use the stock market to build wealth.

And because you're watching my video, I'm going to give you a digital copy of my book completely free.

I have that link for you if you want to download it down in the description below.

And when you sign up for the book, you're also going to get access to Market Briefs, which is my newsletter for investors completely free,

where my team is breaking down what's happening in things like the economy, housing, stocks, crypto, and global markets.

It's read by hundreds of thousands of investors every single morning.

So if you want to get my ebook and Marketplace all for free,

all you have to do is sign up and I have that link for you down in the description below.

And that's why I want you to think of your house as a liability.

But I want you to hear me clearly.

I'm not saying you shouldn't buy a house.

I'm not saying it's bad to buy a house.

You have to treat your house like a liability.

This suit that I'm wearing is a liability.

This watch is a liability.

My shoes are liabilities.

Should I not buy them?

No. I got to make sure I can afford them.

So when people think about buying a house, what do they think of?

100

They think, I'm going to build generational wealth.

101

I'm going to build wealth.

102

I'm going to pay it off.

103

And I'm going to be able to have more freedom in my life because I can own this house.

104

Let's go with the best case scenario.

105

You buy a home for, let's call it $300 ,000.

106

You pay it off.

107

And throughout your lifetime, this $300 ,000 home grows in value to a million dollars.

108

And now you're going to say, Jaspreet, I showed you this is an asset.

109

My house tripled in value, more than tripled in value.

110

And now I'm going to pass it down to my kids.

111

So now, yeah, your kid's got a million dollar house, but unless they have the income to support paying for a million dollar house,

112

they might have to find some more cash.

113

Now what do they do?

114

Because you can't just pull cash out of this house, right?

115

I mean, it's not an ATM, unless you go to the bank.

116

The bank will oh, you have a million dollar house.

117

How about we loan you $800 ,000?

118

But that's not an ATM because you have to pay that money back plus interest.

119

And now unless your kids have the income to pay for the property tax, to pay for the insurance, to pay for the upgrades,

120

to pay for the maintenance and the mortgage, they can't afford that house.

121

So maybe now they have to sell.

122

Okay, now you sell it.

123

You got a million dollars.

124

Great.

125

We're not even going to talk about taxes right now, but you got a million dollars.

126

You're rich.

127

But if they don't have any financial education and you have a million dollars, what's going to happen?

128

Well, let's think about this.

129

If you had a million dollars, what would you do with it?

130

If I went down the street and I asked the average person, if I wrote you a check for a million dollars today,

131

what would you do?

132

What are people going to say?

133

I'm going to go to the Bahamas.

134

I'm going to buy myself a nice house.

135

I'm going to buy myself a nice car, buy myself some nice clothes, go to the Gucci store,

136

go to the Louis Vuitton store and buy myself the extra guac at Chipotle.

137

That's what the average person will do.

138

Now, maybe you're a little bit more financially smart.

139

You say, I'm just going to live off of $50 ,000 a year.

140

But after 20 years, you have nothing left.

141

Not to mention the fact that 10 years from now,

142

that $50 ,000 a year lifestyle is going to buy you half of what it can today.

143

So now let's go back to that situation.

144

You thought you built generational wealth.

145

You did a good thing about paying off the mortgage because you don't have to pay the mortgage payment.

146

But is that really the type of generational wealth that you want?

147

And now to fully hammer this home, I'm not saying it's bad to own a house.

148

It's actually very great.

149

It's an amazing thing to own a house free and clear because now you can rest assured, you don't have to worry about the mortgage payments.

150

If you have the financial education, that's great.

151

But let's talk about now the real way to do this and build true wealth.

152

When I buy my real estate investment properties and my property values go up, the rental values also go up.

153

The rent is what pays for the maintenance.

154

The rent is what pays for the upgrades.

155

The rent is what's paying for the property taxes and the insurance.

156

The rent is putting money in my pocket.

157

And this is cashflow that I can use.

158

I can use this cashflow to buy a vacation.

159

I can use this cashflow to buy food.

160

I can use this cashflow to pay for my lifestyle.

161

But your house.

162

It doesn't do that.

163

You have to pay to live in your house.

164

But people think, you know, they're getting their mortgage payments, they're spending whatever they are, you know, spending on their mortgage payments.

165

They think they're, well, we're kind of told that that mortgage payment is an investment into an asset.

166

Your mortgage payment is a payment to your bank.

167

Banks are not stupid.

168

In fact, they're very smart.

169

Banks do something called front -loading your mortgage.

170

What that means is if you go out and get a 30 -year mortgage, which is what many people do in America,

171

and you pay $3 ,000 a month on your mortgage, you're not paying $1 ,500 to your interest,

172

your bank, and $1 ,500 to your principal, your equity.

173

The way it works is banks front load your mortgage, which means for the first almost 15 years,

174

it's about 14 years and eight months or so, But for almost 15 years of your mortgage,

175

the first 15 years, the majority of your mortgage payment is going directly into your banker's pocket in the form of interest.

176

Which means if you're paying $3 ,000 a month on your mortgage, for the first part of your mortgage,

177

maybe $100 is going out of the $3 ,000 into your equity.

178

The other $2 ,900 is going right into your banker's pocket with interest.

179

And now, yeah, after 15 years, now half of your mortgage payment is going to your equity and half is going to interest.

180

But if you refinance before that 15 year mark, that starts over.

181

And so this is where banks understand the game.

182

Again, I'm not against buying a house, but you got to understand the game of money.

183

And most people don't understand that.

184

And so the mistake that people make is they buy a house they can't afford.

185

And now they're paying all this money into their mortgage, thinking that I'm building wealth.

186

They no longer have money to save.

187

They no longer have money to invest into other real assets.

188

And their money is just going to pay down their mortgage, thinking that this is going to build my wealth.

189

But you've been sold a lie.

190

This term opportunity cost.

191

Most people don't know what this term opportunity cost means, but it appears to be very pertinent to what you're saying especially

192

when you just said this is money that you can't then invest in assets.

193

Can you explain what opportunity cost is and how it's impacted if you buy a house?

194

Sure.

195

If you have, let's make the numbers very simple.

196

You want to buy a $100 ,000 home and let's say the banks require a 20 % down payment, $20 ,000.

197

You could do a few things.

198

Number one, you can take that $20 ,000 and go out and buy this house.

199

And now that's how that money has been used.

200

But if you use that money to buy the house, you lose the opportunity to take that $20 ,000 and say,

201

use it to buy a rental property.

202

You lose the opportunity to use that $20 ,000 to invest in the stock market.

203

You lose the opportunity to take that $20 ,000 and maybe build a business.

204

Now the question is, what is going to give you the best and most growth?

205

Now, hopefully this house that you buy will go up in value.

206

It's not guaranteed.

207

We know the houses don't always go up in value, no matter what your banker says, no matter what your real estate agent says,

208

because we saw what happened after the 2008 crash where real estate prices were slashed in half.

209

It was as much as 93 % real estate values dropping in the state of Michigan, where I am.

210

So we know real estate prices don't always go up.

211

Stock prices don't always go up.

212

Businesses don't always work.

213

everything has a risk but now the question is

214

which risk do you want to take and

215

which risk do you want to take first are you in a situation now where you're ready to go out

216

and buy a house or do you want to build your wealth first a little bit more

217

and that's the question

218

that i want people to start thinking is am i ready to buy a house

219

and then people say well if i go out

220

and invest my money the problem is housing prices keep going up i'm chasing this housing market it

221

It keeps getting more and more and more expensive.

222

And you're 100 % right.

223

It's a risk.

224

But there's also a risk the housing prices could fall.

225

I think one of the biases that makes people want to buy a house is that they're currently renting,

226

and they see that as just giving money away.

227

So they think, listen, I could spend this money on a mortgage, and I'll own this thing one day.

228

Or I could spend this same $2 ,000, whatever it is, on rent, and I'm never going to own this thing.

229

Well, I'm here in Los Angeles right now.

230

I had to stay in a hotel.

231

That hotel payment is paying somebody's mortgage.

232

It's paying somebody's college tuition.

233

It's paying for somebody's stuff.

234

When I go to a restaurant and I eat out, I'm paying for somebody's mortgage.

235

I'm paying for somebody's college tuition.

236

I'm paying for somebody's bills.

237

Because when you go out and you rent, that's what everybody says.

238

I am making my landlord rich.

239

Well, when you eat at a restaurant, you're making that restaurant owner rich.

240

When you go to a hotel, making the hotel owner rich.

241

When I go and buy a mug, I'm making the mug owner rich.

242

And the reality is, yeah, it's good for you to own a house.

243

But are you ready to own a house?

244

Can you afford to own a house?

245

And what do you want to own first?

246

I rent where I live right now.

247

I am making my landlord rich today.

248

I also rent for my offices.

249

I am making my office landlord very rich because my office rent is very expensive.

250

Do you feel bad for me?

251

I hope not.

252

And this is where we have to get over these money myths

253

that many people keep selling you that you can't build wealth if you rent where you live.

254

You can't build wealth if you don't get a good degree.

255

That's not the way that the system works.

256

See, there's the traditional rules and then there's the real financial education money rules.

257

And again, I'm not saying it's bad to own a house, but it's bad to own a house you can't afford.

258

How do you know if you can afford one?

259

Well, there's three parts to afford in a house.

260

You have to afford the down payment, you have to afford the monthly payment, and you have to afford the moving costs.

261

I'm going to go start from the simplest one, which is the moving costs, because many people don't factor this in.

262

When you buy a house, you got to move in.

263

And I'm not talking about the closing costs.

264

You might have to hire movers, which are expensive.

265

You might have to upgrade your furniture, which is expensive.

266

You might have to upgrade the house, which is expensive.

267

Factor that in.

268

Then I want to talk about your down payment.

269

People don't like when I say this, but I don't say what I say to make friends.

270

I say what I say to help people be better with money.

271

One of the things that I've learned in life is

272

that oftentimes the things you don't pay attention to end up mattering the most.

273

And that's why I want to talk to you about life insurance with our sponsor,

274

Policy Genius, because if you don't have the assets to live off of yet, and something tragically happened to you,

275

the last thing you want is now your spouse

276

and your family trying to struggle to survive financially

277

and that's where term life insurance can come into play

278

now i'm talking about term life insurance here not whole life

279

insurance the whole idea with term life insurance is it's life

280

insurance for a period of time 10 years 20 years 30 years

281

that way you can work to build your assets it is a lot cheaper than whole life insurance

282

because the whole idea is you're not here trying to get rich off your life insurance

283

it's just there as a bridge until you can build your assets.

284

This is one of those things where the earlier you start, the cheaper it is.

285

Because if you're a healthy 30 -year -old guy,

286

you could potentially get a half a million dollar term life insurance policy for less than a dollar a day.

287

So if you have any questions, you wanna learn more about term life insurance,

288

or you wanna see how much a term life insurance policy would actually cost you,

289

I'll put a link to Policy Geniuses' form down in the description.

290

It only takes a few minutes to complete, and it'll give you an actual quote on how much term life insurance will actually cost you,

291

and I have that link for you down in the description.

292

If you want to afford the house, you have to have at least a 20 % down payment.

293

That way you actually have some equity, some skin in the game, that way you can actually afford the house.

294

The third part is you have to afford the monthly payments.

295

Now, every bank is going to have a different rule for you.

296

Banks have like the 28 % rule and these other rules.

297

I have...

298

Sorry, just on that last point, why do people not like it when you say that?

299

Because it's very hard to pay a 20 % down payment.

300

Housing is expensive.

301

You want to buy a $500 ,000 house?

302

You have to have $100 ,000 as a minimum for your down payment.

303

And that's extra cash.

304

Great.

305

Now, if we talk about the monthly costs, the simple way that I like to follow it is you have to have a system for yourself.

306

You have to know how much money you are allowed to spend, how much money you need to be investing,

307

and how much money you have to be saving every single month.

308

Then just factor it in.

309

So the way I like to look at it, a simple rule of thumb is something like a 75 -15 -10 plan,

310

which says for every dollar that you earn from here on out, 75 cents is the maximum that you can spend.

311

15 cents is the minimum that you invest.

312

10 cents is the minimum that you save.

313

Now let's do the math.

314

If you know that you make, let's call it $100 ,000 a year,

315

that means the max you can spend out of the $100 ,000 is $75 ,000.

316

So if out of that $75 ,000, you can afford your mortgage costs, you can afford your food, you can afford your vacations and lifestyle,

317

then sure you can afford it.

318

But if you can't afford that, then you can't afford that mortgage.

319

And the reason why I like to go by this rule is because some people are going to say, I can live in a small house.

320

I just want an expensive car and some nice vacations.

321

Other people are going to say, I want a beautiful home.

322

I don't care about the car and vacations.

323

So now you can factor it all in there.

324

How much can you afford out of that 75 % of what you make?

325

Do you think people even know how much money they spend?

326

No.

327

I was thinking, I wonder how many people listening right now know over the last six months the exact figure

328

that they spend every single month.

329

Most people statistically are living paycheck to paycheck.

330

So they're basically spending everything? Or more.

331

Okay.

332

78 % of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, which means I make some money and I spend all of it or more.

333

There's a joke that I like to make, which is in the traditional Indian culture, people make a dollar to spend 20 cents.

334

In the traditional American culture, people make a dollar to spend $2 through the help of lines of credit, credit cards, and other forms of debt.

335

And the reason why, I'm going to take it a step back.

336

I don't think you wanted me to go this way.

337

I'm going to go anywhere.

338

Anyway, we live in what's called a credit -based economy, which means if you make $50 ,000 a year,

339

you don't live off of $50 ,000 a year.

340

At least most Americans don't.

341

We live in what's called a credit -based economy, which means you have the ability to spend the $50 ,000 you earned plus debt.

342

because as you make more money, as you have a good job, you become more credit worthy.

343

And so as you show the bank, hey, I made $50 ,000, they'll give you credit cards.

344

They'll give you lines of credit.

345

They'll give you whatever types of debt that they can.

346

That way now you can go out and spend $60 ,000, $70 ,000, $80 ,000 because that's what grows the economy.

347

The more money you spend, the richer somebody else gets.

348

And so now when you live in this credit -based economy with no financial education, people spend, spend, spend, the economy grows,

349

grows, grows, and most people have no idea what hit them.

350

Do you know what's really interesting is two days ago, I was having a conversation with one of my friends.

351

It was actually, I did a podcast about finance recently, and in there I mentioned some of my friends, and then they messaged me on WhatsApp,

352

and we were having a chat in our group chat.

353

And I, for the first time ever, one of them asked me to guess.

354

We're very close friends.

355

We talk about money, we talk about how much money we have, etc. They said, guess who has the most money in the group.

356

So I went through and I did, I think this is this person's net worth of my five best friends.

357

And I think this is how much cash they have.

358

Now, one of my friends who is very, what's the word?

359

I guess frugal.

360

Lives a very, very simple life.

361

As I was going through, I go, do you know what? this friend is this like high flying guy lives in this amazing apartment

362

this person has all these wonderful things this person's been successful in business this person's successful in crypto

363

but you know what I bet my mate

364

and I won't say his name I bet he's richer than everyone else in

365

that chat um all of my other friends in the chat

366

and so I did my little prediction

367

and I said I bet you've got x figure and he replied

368

and said this is my current cash position

369

he was richer than everyone in the chat in terms of cash combined this guy lives

370

so he lives in like a studio apartment he never balls

371

he doesn't have like a fancy car doesn't have fancy clothes

372

and he's richer than the entire lot of my friendship group

373

and i thought god there's something really important here in terms of

374

and it's it's so crazy if you

375

if you know the context of what i'm saying

376

because i've got a friend in

377

that chat who's built like a big business I've got a friend like everyone in that chat runs businesses is successful,

378

but they're living in different ways

379

And the one friend who runs the smallest business who like probably has the least income is the richest

380

And over the last couple of days, it's so funny I was thinking about all the dinners.

381

I bought this fucking guy.

382

I'm like, I didn't know you're a millionaire I would have been paid for everything.

383

But this is really I mean if we ignore your friends it's very easy to look fake rich.

384

Because everybody will give you a line of credit.

385

If I want a Gucci person, I can't afford the Gucci.

386

Guess what?

387

I can buy now, pay later.

388

I can open up a credit card and buy the Gucci and look like I'm rich.

389

When in reality, I'm just making Gucci rich.

390

In fact, one of the richest people in the world, in 2023, he was the richest person in the world, is Bernard Arnault.

391

He's the founder and CEO of LVM, or he's the founder and CEO of the company that owns Louis Vuitton. And why?

392

Because millions of people pay him to look rich, when in reality he's the one that's getting rich.

393

And we assume that when you make some more money, you got to start looking the part.

394

And this is that mindset shift that we have to make.

395

And, you know, a lot of people resonate who come from the Indian traditional families.

396

They message me saying, Jaspreet, I became a doctor.

397

or my wife and I are doctors, we make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year.

398

We make a great income, but we have no savings and no investments, and I don't know what to do.

399

And the reason why is we have a Range Rover and a Benz.

400

We have a nice house.

401

We go on the doctor vacations.

402

We have to look the part, but we don't have any money left over at the end of our paychecks.

403

And it's a very easy thing to get caught up in because when you make more money, you become more credit worthy.

404

Banks will give you bigger loans.

405

When you make more money, you want to spend more money.

406

And it's very easy.

407

And you have to understand how do you control that spending.

408

And that's why if you follow something like 75, 15, 10, one of the simplest things you can do to start is just always,

409

no matter what, whether you're making $10 ,000 a year or $10 million a year, you always put money aside to invest.

410

You always put money aside to save, and you spend whatever's left.

411

My friend doesn't invest.

412

The friend I'm talking about doesn't actually invest.

413

He just doesn't spend.

414

He just doesn't spend money.

415

And he's just stacked up like a million dollars in cash

416

whilst earning less than everyone else of my five friends in that chat.

417

And it didn't take a long time.

418

Like it took him four years or something, four or five years, of just running this small business with a couple of people.

419

When I say a small business, I mean a really like a small business, like a business of maybe four or five employees.

420

Money isn't what it used to be.

421

And it's about to change again.

422

For centuries, money wasn't this paper.

423

It was actually physical gold.

424

It was coins.

425

It was bars that people would carry around.

426

But carrying around physical metal wasn't very easy.

427

And that was when this paper money got created.

428

But this paper money was backed by physical gold.

429

So if you had a hundred dollars.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
