Hate to break it to you, Lewis, but your house is not going to put food on the table.

Because it doesn't pay you an income.

It's an expense.

property tax fixing stuff all the expenses insurance everything man it's expensive And now they say, well, what if I pay off my house?

Okay, great.

You paid off the house, but now you still got the property taxes and the insurance.

And let's say, Louis, you bought your house in a great area.

Well, let's say you bought a half a million dollar house.

You bought it in a gray area, now it goes up to a million dollars.

You're going to say, just look at me.

I got a million dollar asset I'm sitting on.

Good, I'm happy for you.

Now you have to pay property taxes on a million dollar house.

Because if your house goes up in value, so do your property taxes every year.

You have to now insure a million dollar house.

Thank you.

And now what happens is maybe you have an income from your job to keep paying that.

But what if you stop working?

Maybe you retire.

Maybe you can't work.

You still have to pay these expenses.

Or maybe now you've built this house.

You paid it off.

You were able to support the cost.

And now you pass it down to your kids.

Well, now your kids have to pay to support this billion -dollar house.

And why do now so many of these kids have to liquidate the house and sell it?

Because they can't afford the cost of just keeping the house.

So now we think that buying this house is going to make us wealthy and when in reality, that's not always true.

Now, I'm not saying it's bad to own a house.

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

In fact, it's a very good thing to own a house and pay it off.

But the mistake that many people make is they think, Jaspreet, I'm going to get a good job, invest in my 401k and buy a house and I'm going to be set.

When you have that sort of mindset, you're thinking like everybody else.

And right now, America is facing the largest retirement crisis of history because everybody thought if I got a good job,

I invested in my 401k and I owned a house, I'm going to be set.

Just do the math.

Those are the people now that are facing this retirement crisis.

What makes you think that it's going to be easier for you

when we have a more volatile stock market where inflation is a bigger problem now than it was for the previous generation?

What makes you think that all of a sudden it's going to be easier for you?

They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

Well, here you are.

And so when we think about the house, I'm gonna talk about one more thing about it, because then people will say, well Jaspreet, If I have to pay $3 ,000 a month,

isn't it better for me to build equity as opposed to making my landlord richer?

Yes.

But that's not always what's happening.

Because when you get a 30 -year mortgage...

and you're paying $3 ,000 a month, it's not $1 ,500 going to your bank and then $1 ,500 going to principal.

80 % is going towards interest.

In fact, more in the beginning.

And so it's not for the first 15 to 20 years of a 30 year mortgage. That.

more than half of your payment is going straight into your banker's pocket with interest.

And then the other small percentage is going to your principal

And now we have to assume that you don't do a refinance because if you refinance on year eight, Well, now you start the process all over again.

And so again, I'm not against the owning your house.

In fact, I would prefer you to own your house than rent it.

The mistake that people make is I buy my house thinking that it's going to make me rich.

So how about you buy a little bit bigger, a little bit nicer because it's the biggest investment of your life.

And when you think it like that, and I'm telling you, and I speak from experience because I worked as a realtor.

and in that sales training what did they teach you you were selling the best and biggest investment of somebody's life

easy to get you to buy bigger when I'm selling you an investment, right?

I'm not selling you an expense.

Hey, Lewis, here's the biggest expense of your life.

This is the biggest money pithole you're gonna have.

I'm not gonna sell.

I have to say, Lewis, this is the best investment.

This is an investment for your kids.

Yeah, your family's gonna have memories here for decades.

And And that's Thank you.

It makes sense.

But when you start to do the math, you realize that maybe, maybe owning the house isn't as good of an investment as you originally thought.

And so this is where now we start to realize maybe some of the things that I was taught was wrong.

If you really need to get over the hump, because sometimes we have that ego and I had that too.

But once you start to realize that, oh, crap, I need to do something different.

Now you realize what I realized was everything that I was told was a lie and I need to restart my learning.

Mm -hmm.

And now you're like, oh crap, I got to start over.

But you're not starting over.

What you're doing is now just shifting the direction.

And now you can start to accelerate the path towards wealth which will give you the true freedom.

One of the things that I've learned in life, is that oftentimes the things you don't pay attention to end up mattering the most.

And that's why I wanna talk to you about life insurance with our sponsor, Policy Genius.

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

The last thing you want is now your spouse and your family trying to struggle to survive financially, and that's where term life insurance can come into play.

Now, I'm talking about term life insurance here, not whole life insurance.

The whole idea with term life insurance is it's life insurance for a period of time, 10 years, 20 years, 30 years.

That way you can work to build your assets.

It is a lot cheaper than whole life insurance

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

your assets.

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

Because if you're a healthy 30 -year -old guy, you could potentially get a half a million dollar term life insurance policy for less than a dollar a day.

So if you have any questions, you want to learn more about term life insurance, or you want to see how much a term life insurance policy would actually cost you, I'll put a link to Policy Geniuses' form down in the description.

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

You know, if someone's watching or listening to this right now thinking their entire life has been lied to about money, finances, how to invest.

If I do these things, then I'll be safe in the future.

What would you say then are the three biggest money rules?

100

that wealthy people do that most people aren't following.

101

Well, I think you can break it down into three steps because there's three stages of wealth.

102

And I'm going to break it down into...

103

Phase 1: Getting the money.

104

Yeah.

105

Phase two.

106

Growing the money.

107

Phase three, protecting the money.

108

Phase one.

109

Getting the money.

110

is all about now How are you going to just...

111

Lay the foundation for your finances.

112

How are you going to make money?

113

And people say, well, what business should I start?

114

What job should I get?

115

I don't care.

116

Do what you...

117

believe is right for you.

118

Sometimes it's what you like, sometimes it's not what you like, but you got to figure out how you're going to earn money.

119

Figure out how you're going to earn more money and then create a system for your money.

120

So, Here's a few basic rules.

121

Number one, If you have credit card debt, If you don't have $2 ,000 saved up for an emergency, you are in what I call the financial danger zone.

122

Now, I'm going to probably upset some of your listeners right now, Louis, but I'm going to do this because I want people to be better with money.

123

I don't say this to make friends.

124

If you have credit card debt or if you don't have $2 ,000 saved up...

125

You should not go and see the inside of a restaurant.

126

You should not go on another vacation, and you should not have a Netflix subscription.

127

Or go to Starbucks or...

128

Yeah, yeah.

129

All of those with little expenses are destroying your finances.

130

Now why am I saying no Netflix?

131

It's not because of the $15 a month.

132

It's because the average American is watching more than two hours, it's actually over three hours, but I like to say two hours, more than two hours of TV a day.

133

And if you're broke with credit card debt, Without $2 ,000.

134

You don't have the luxury to watch TV.

135

You don't have the luxury to.

136

Yeah.

137

You need to use that time to earn money.

138

or learn skills, develop those skills and money.

139

Now, the reason why I'm so aggressive about this is because

140

let's assume now you got a little bit of cash saved up.

141

You got $8 ,000 saved up in the bank right now.

142

If you took the $8 ,000 today, and you invested it, and you could get a, let's just say 20 % return on your money.

143

for the next 40 years.

144

You're not going to retire with half a million dollars.

145

And I'm also going to assume that you never invest another penny in that.

146

Only the $8 ,000 today.

147

You're not going to retire with a half million dollars

148

or a million dollars or $2 million or $5 million or $10 million.

149

You're going to retire a deca millionaire with over $11 million.

150

Now you're going to say, Jaspreet, that sounds pretty good.

151

Sign me up.

152

I got $8 ,000.

153

Well, here's the reality: you're probably not going to get those returns.

154

Do you want to know who is?

155

Amex, Visa Discover, MasterCard, and you're the one that's paying that.

156

Because the average American household with credit card debt has $8 ,000.

157

Wow.

158

The average APR on credit card debt That's 20%.

159

So if you, instead of making them rich, took that money, and you could get those same returns, you would be incredibly wealthy.

160

But that's why they're flying high in private jets with those big buildings.

161

It's because you're working hard to make them rich.

162

So when it comes to that getting money, you got to first lay that foundation, get out of the financial danger zone and create a system for your money.

163

I like to teach 75, 15, 10, which is for every dollar that you earn from here on out.

164

75 cents is the maximum that you can spend $0 .15 is the minimum that you invest.

165

Ten cents.

166

is the minimum that you save.

167

This way, every time you get paid, You're always putting money aside to save and invest.

168

before you spend all of your money because what?

169

wealthy people do we talked about is their money is making them money how do they do

170

that it's because they own the assets how do they get

171

that because they take their money

172

and they don't spend all of it they always have money to save

173

and invest before they spend all of it

174

so create three bank accounts don't do this out of one

175

one for your spending money one for investment money one for

176

your savings money yeah 75 15 10 75 of the every dollar the maximum

177

You can spend a 75 % as what I'm hearing you say.

178

Yep.

179

The minimum is 15 % to invest.

180

and the minimum is 10 % to save.

181

And imagine if you could do the minimum to invest would be 40%.

182

of every dollar that'd be incredible.

183

if you're able to invest more than just 15 you may not be able to with expenses

184

but imagine if you bump that number up every month You're powerful.

185

And that now goes into the mindset of how do you build your wealth?

186

Because The first, I'm going to take a step back here because anytime we talk about money,

187

a common feeling that I think a lot of people feel.

188

is I don't know Jaspreet, I don't feel right.

189

I'm talking about money and I don't feel right saying I want to be wealthy.

190

Why do people fear the idea of wanting to be rich

191

or looking at people who have money as bad and wrong or judging them as negative?

192

Well, I think there's a few reasons why.

193

I'm going to start with our own money traumas.

194

If you grow up and your parents tell you, we can't afford this.

195

We don't have money for this.

196

That's too much money.

197

That's only rich people stuff.

198

Now, all of a sudden, you grew up believing that...

199

I...

200

don't have the ability to have these things and the people that do are rich people Now,

201

maybe you grew up hearing that rich people are great and they have the money to do that.

202

But most people don't.

203

There's a lot of vilification around this idea of they must have done something bad, slimy, sleazy, or...

204

not nice to achieve that money. when Let's reframe this.

205

What if you grew up being told, We can't afford it yet.

206

we don't have the money yet.

207

It's too much money today.

208

But if we do this, this and this, we will be able to comfortably afford this now we start to reframe how we think

209

And the problem is a lot of times we grew up with these traumas that money is bad, evil, and then we...

210

comfort ourselves by saying the people that are affording it are bad.

211

Because now we have these insecurities around money because why can somebody like me who works hard, got a good degree, checked all the boxes,

212

how come I can't do it?

213

but they can.

214

This guy without a college degree has a lot of money.

215

I And, uh...

216

somebody who got a degree, good credibility, I got a good job.

217

Why am I struggling with money?

218

I hear this a lot because I hear, Jaspreet, my wife and I are doctors.

219

We make $500 ,000 a year.

220

We have zero assets.

221

What is going on?

222

And then I start looking at, their numbers and I see, okay, you got a Benz, you got a Range Rover.

223

You guys are traveling on these nice vacations, first class, multiple times a year.

224

You're staying at the nice hotels.

225

You're always buying the organic blueberries.

226

It's like there's a lot of different things and you realize, oh, it's not just how much money you make, it's what you do with that money.

227

and Now when you start to just...

228

create that tension, you start to realize, oh my God, I can't ever have these nice things.

229

Money is bad, it's evil.

230

Well, now let's reframe that and understand how money plays a part in your life.

231

Because the reality is it costs money to eat and it costs money to feed other people.

232

Money is a part of life.

233

You want to pay your bills?

234

You got to have money.

235

If you don't believe me, call up your bank and say, hey, I don't got money.

236

Can I give you a hug this month?

237

They're not going to like that very much.

238

No. But once you understand that money is a part of life, You can then realize it's not the only part of life.

239

Because.. and you and I have talked about this before that If you really want to live a happy and fulfilled life, you need to be physically fit.

240

You need to be mentally fit.

241

You need to be spiritually fit, but also financially fit. Because...

242

if you are not financially fit.

243

If you're always stressing about money, what happens next?

244

Well, now your relationship suffers.

245

because you and your wife are now going to be arguing because you're stressed about bills, because you want to go on a vacation,

246

you want to buy your wife that nice purse, or you want to buy your husband a nice watch.

247

but you don't have the money, you want to buy college for your kids, It's stressful.

248

Money problems are one of the leading causes of divorce and also suicide.

249

It's a real thing.

250

But yet we're scared to talk about the topic of money.

251

And when you realize the hate, I need to be physically healthy.

252

I need to be mentally healthy.

253

I need to be spiritually healthy.

254

And I need to be financially healthy.

255

And there are four independent parts of my life.

256

Now you can understand, okay, it's not bad for me to want to learn money.

257

It's in fact important because we live in a society that He uses money, but If I have more money, I can also do more good.

258

I can also help other people.

259

I can also feed other hungry people And when you have that sort of idea...

260

Now you don't have to...

261

go in and think, oh my God, yeah, maybe it's not a bad thing to be rich.

262

Maybe it's just Freedom.

263

Yeah.

264

And maybe if I become rich, I can be an example of what it means to be a good person who is rich.

265

That's why I always say we need more good people with money.

266

And now we start to reframe that.

267

But it means you have to rewire the way you look at money.

268

Yes.

269

Because most people look at money in a way that does not serve them.

270

They look at it where it causes stress, anxiety, fear, uncertainty.

271

If you don't have money, you're at the mercy of people that have money.

272

You become desperate.

273

because now I have to go to work.

274

I have to do these things.

275

And desperate people don't make good financial decisions.

276

And it's really unfortunate.

277

But now when you're desperate, what happens?

278

Well, the first thing is if I'm just in a really crappy place, maybe I start to soothe myself by buying a nice car that I can't afford, buying a nice watch that I can't afford,

279

buying some nice clothes that I can't afford or whatever indulging in drugs

280

or alcohol or other things like that lottery tickets maybe now I try to soothe myself doing other things.

281

Maybe now, I say, I want to get rich.

282

And this guy on the internet says, if I pay him $995, he's going to give me a six -step system to making six figures in six months, working only two hours a week.

283

That sounds great.

284

Or maybe if I just throw my money into this cryptocurrency, into this hot stock that everyone's talking about, I'm going to be able to double my money in 12 months.

285

And now we get caught up in this idea of, fast money because I'm desperate, I'm in pain.

286

Well, Unfortunately, That's not how building wealth works.

287

And when that's what you want, you get caught up in all the crap out there.

288

And there's no shortage of people selling that crap.

289

because it is very attractive to sell you this idea of get rich fast.

290

Investments that go up by these crazy percentages.

291

It's very attractive and you want to get in on the next one.

292

I mean, could you imagine if you could double your money every six months?

293

I mean, you would be the richest person in the history of time.

294

In our economic system, you can't become wealthy by working a job.

295

Doesn't matter if you were a teacher, a truck driver, a doctor or an executive.

296

The way you become wealthy is by owning the right assets.

297

That way now you can get paid even if you stop working, because if you stop working at your job, the money stops coming in.

298

But you still got bills to pay.

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
