Rich Thinking vs Poor Thinking: Embracing an Abundance Mindset

In this video I’m going to reveal the key differences between rich thinking and poor thinking to help you crush your goals. Coming up! Hey, I’m Dr. Brad Klontz, your financial psychologist! On this channel, we help you transform your relationship with money, master the psychology of wealth, and live a life of abundance! So, if you’re new here, please subscribe and click the bell so you don’t miss anything! Studies have shown big differences between how rich people think compared to poorer people.

The secret is this: your beliefs about yourself, the world, and what’s possible are entirely created by you, in this moment, and they determine your results. Now that’s heavy. One of the biggest differences is that poor thinking is all about a scarcity mindset. If you want to enjoy wealth and success, you need to abandon your scarcity mindset. Scarcity is defined as the state of being scarce or in short supply. It means deficiency, deficit, inadequacy, or undersupply.

Yuck. Now look, I know that for many of you money IS in short supply, at least right now anyway, so it makes sense that you’re experiencing some scarcity. But the problem with scarcity thinking is that if you aren’t careful it consumes you – like a dark, stinky cloud that covers you. You see scarcity all around you – not just not enough money, but not enough love, not enough opportunity to go around, a lack of trust – when you are looking for it, you can see scarcity everywhere. See if any of this fits for you: When someone is nice, do you assume that they have a hidden agenda? When something good is happening, do you hold back your joy because you’re waiting for the other shoe to drop? If you fall in love, do you become paranoid and worried that you’re going to get hurt. Do you not trust your business partner? Are you so afraid someone will steal your business ideas that you don’t share them with anyone else? Do you doubt that opportunities exist for you, so you don’t bother looking for them? Do you think you aren’t smart enough or worthy enough to be successful? If you said yes to any of these questions, please know that I get it! I understand.

Of course you believe these things. You’ve been hurt by others – perhaps even by the people you should have been able to trust the most. You grew-up poor. People have taken advantage of you. You’ve been let down. You’ve been disappointed. You’ve tried, and tried, and tried but have failed. You’ve arrived at a scarcity mindset honestly. In fact, you’ve probably inherited this scarcity mindset from the people who have let you down. In many ways they’ve disappointed you because they had a scarcity mindset themselves – believing that they need to take from you because there isn’t enough to go around. The real problem with scarcity thinking is that becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. When you don’t trust someone else, they will start to become untrustworthy. As your paranoia grows, they’ll start to get anxious and worried about upsetting you, so they’ll start hiding things from you and sure enough, when you catch them, you think ha, I knew it, I can’t trust anyone! But did your scarcity mindset help create this situation? When you’re anxious and you hold back the depth of your love because you don’t want to get hurt, before long your lover will leave you.

He or she will prove your scarcity thinking right, because you helped create it. If you’re desperate for money, people will sense you’re only out for yourself and they’ll avoid you, like the plague. They’ll end up despising you. If you’re only out for yourself, rich people will avoid you, and so will wealth. A scarcity mindset stinks and it can be so contagious, so people who are truly rich, people who live in abundance will avoid you.

If you want to think like the rich, if you want to get rich. you need to embrace an abundance mindset. Abundance thinking is the total opposite of scarcity thinking. Abundance is defined as a large quantity of something. Synonyms for abundance include boatloads, globs, oodles, plenty and heaps. Abundance assumes that there is plenty to go around – plenty of love, globs of money, and boatloads of opportunities. When you embrace an abundance mindset, you start seeing opportunities all around you. Doors begin opening for you.

Doors that have always been there but you hadn’t noticed before. When you’re living a life of abundance, you give love fully, deeply, and fearlessly, without regret. And of course, your lover loves it! In fact, everyone loves it! They want to be around you. They want to share your passion. They want to do business with you. They want to buy your products. They want to spend time with you. They want to help you, because your abundance mindset is contagious, and it feels so good to be around you. When you have an abundance mindset, instead of fearing sharing your ideas with your “competition,” you look for opportunities to share with them – to collaborate with them.

To work together. You help them grow, and guess what happens? They help you grow! You’re totally committed to your business partner’s success so committed that he or she would never think of betraying your trust – they would be a fool to do so, because you keep bringing so much to the table. So how do you abandon your poor thinking for rich thinking? Let’s do it right now. In this moment. Let”s do an experiment. Right now – You have a choice: You can spend the next 10 minutes focusing all your attention on your problems, on your failures, on your betrayals, on all the barriers to your success. Or, you can spend the next 10 minutes getting excited about searching for and noticing the opportunities around you – the beauty, the love, your strengths, your passions, your goals, your gift to the world – a gift you must give to the world – and you definitely have one, I promise! Embracing an abundance mindset IS the pathway to success and it feels great, and don’t you want to feel great?

When you get hired with Hired, you’ll get double the normal sign-on bonus for using that link. Today we’re going to be talking about real estate.

Yes. I have done some videos on real estate. Some of you are like, “What the heck? Why is this guy talking about real estate?” Well, I’ve done fairly well in the real estate realm. If you’re interested, you can always check out my playlist on real estate investment and investment in general. I’m not going to go into all the details here, but occasionally I like to answer a few real estate questions on this channel. I got one here from Jonathan and he says, “I’m 21 and set a goal that I want to retire by 40 to 45.” Cool. “With 20K of passive rental property income.” Man, that’s awesome. I like that. I love that goal. That’s a good goal. “Currently saving money to buy my first property and hopefully, when I get a web development job I can speed up the process. My question is how do I plan for this goal?” This is good.

So, 21, Jonathan is 21 and he’s thinking this way and he’s got this plan by 40 to 45 to make 20K of passive income from rental properties. I love this. This is great. “Thanks for everything you do and have a beautiful day.” I am having a beautiful day. Thank you, Jonathan. “P.S. I was thinking of buying a duplex and live in one and I rent out the other one so basically the tenant pays my mortgage.” So, okay, there’s a lot of ways to approach this. I think Jonathan has got his head screwed on right. Well, I’ll start with the last, the P.S. of renting out a duplex and living in one side. I think that’s a great idea. This is a fantastic thing. More people should do this. A lot of you young people out there that are thinking about renting or buying a house, consider buying a duplex and renting out one side and if you find the right deal which—it’s out there, you could actually have the renters pay your rent.

You see what I’m saying? You could actually live for totally free by having a duplex and renting out one side. I’m not going to say it’s going to be super easy. I’m not going to say that those deals are everywhere. It depends on where you’re at. You’re not going to find that deal in California or New York, San Francisco, not going to happen, but if you’re in the Midwest you might be able to find that deal. I’ve seen it before. I think that’s a great idea, but let’s talk about the plan. 21, you want to retire by 40 to 45. You want to get 20K of passive real estate income. It’s not going to be easy, but it’s certainly doable. What you need to do is you need to calculate backwards where you need to be and have a real solid plan for this.

I can give you a general outline, but I haven’t run the numbers so I can’t tell you exactly. There are going to be some factors in here, but you actually need to take a spreadsheet and actually need to calculate this and figure this out. It’s going to be fairly complex, but you don’t have to be super detailed. You can kind of ballpark this, but you do need a spreadsheet. You can get some rough answers here, but calculate this out, 20K of passive income from real estate. Let’s say 45. What does your gross need to be? You’re going to have expenses, you’re going to have rents, I mean you’re going to have property management, you’re going to have a bunch of things here. That can give you an idea of what kind of wrench you need to be pulling in. It’s not going to be a 20K wrench, you’re not just getting 20K. It might be like 30 or 40K a month of rents. In order to get 40K a month of rent how many properties do you need and how much will those properties cost? How can you divide that over time and put inflation into the equation a little bit here over that period of time? Work backwards and make a spreadsheet and run some scenarios.

This is going to take time and some planning. Like I said, you can rough ballpark it. If I were just going to give you what I think would probably work for you, it also depends on how big your budget is. How much money are you investing every year? How much money do you have to invest every year. If you can put 10K down onto a rental property every year that’s different than, “Hey, I’ve got 50K to invest in real estate every year.” That’s different. Or 100K. Those are all different scenarios. What you’re planning based on your current scenario might—there may not be—there might be this gap and you might be like, “Well, how do I get there?” It might not be apparent.

You might have to do some other things. You might need to make more money in your job or start a side business in order to fuel that. I had to do that to reach some of my real estate goals. Think about that and calculate that out. I’ll give you kind of a rough timeline, a rough plan that I would have if I were you which would be something like—and this was the plan I initially developed when I was doing this which would be to buy one property every year, regardless. The nice thing I like about this plan is that it’s scalable.

The size of the property depends—is dependent upon how much money that you have in that year. When I first started in real estate investment when I was close to your age, I think I bought my first house at 19, but I really started doing investments around 21 and started this plan of buying one house per year. I think the first house that I bought I was able to put $10,000 down. It was like a $100,000 house or $120,000 house. The next year it was probably about the same and then probably like the third or fourth year I had more money. I was able to put $20,000 or $30,000 down. I got to the point where I was buying properties and I was putting about $20, $30, $40,000 down every year on a property when I buy it. Some of that was because of the real estate that I was already making me money. Some of it was because I was making more money in my job and I had businesses and side things going on which helped me to do that. That’s the kind of plan that I would—it’s not going to happen magically. I think that’s the key thing. You actually have to have a solid plan for this and you can run these numbers and calculate this out.

There’s actually a really good book that I recommend called The Millionaire Real Estate Investor. I think that’s by Garry Keller, the founder of Keller Williams if I recall correctly. I don’t recommend very many real estate books, simply because a lot of them are crap. The reason why I’m really going to recommend that book to you is because it has these charts that show you—it gives you a realistic expectation over 20 years what the value of a property is likely to be, how much money you’re likely to make from it, cashflow and all that. Again, it’s as complex equation. You’re not going to be able to nail this down perfectly, but at least if you run the numbers and you do the best job that you can, you can have a ballpark idea and you can always adjust the plan. You’ve got to have—you’ve got to know where you are and where you need to go in order to reach these goals. I’ll also recommend for you—I have a course that I created called Simple Real Estate Investing for Software Developers.

You can check that out here. If you buy that course, obviously it has a money back guarantee on it, but that’s going to help you to give you the basics of everything I know about investing. Just to give you a background, I have about 26 rental properties. They are all paid off. I started investing when I was 19. I kind of know what I’m talking about here. I don’t give a lot of bull shit advice about this. I give you exactly—practical advice on how to get started and how to do this.

The reason why I created the course, even though it might not seem like it goes along with a lot of my other content, it was just simply because I was tired of so many people giving BS real estate advice and doing all these kind of scamming, no money down, speculative moves that just doesn’t make sense. You need some kind of practical advice so that’s what I put together there. Go check that out. This is good. I think you’ve got a good plan here. You just need to develop the plan further and it’s going to be very dependent on your individual factors and—I think you have information though to say, “Okay, can you do this in 45—by the time you’re 45?” absolutely! I believe that you can. It’s not going to be easy, it’s going to be hard to do. 20K is a pretty big number but it’s certainly possible, but you’re going to have to start moving now, which it seems like you’re going to do, and you have to have a plan and it’s going to take a lot of work and a lot of effort and you got to find good deals in order to be able to do this in that time frame.

Tips for saving for retirement

We just don’t save like we used to that’s the verdict from financial experts and we’re not just talking about Millennials they say 45% of baby boomers don’t have any gold IRA retirement savings that’s a staggering number about a quarter of all workers and 21% of retirees say they have less than $1,000 saved according to the Employee Benefit Research Institute’s 2022 retirement confidence survey so we want to help get results for our friends when it comes to getting some money in the bank saved up we’ve invited financial expert James D Virgilio back to news 6 and 9 and you know this is a depressing statistic to think about so if you are already nearing that retirement age very quickly what are some ways to accumulate some wealth in the climate today well if you’re the youngest boomer your age 55 if you’re the oldest your age 75 and the advice is going to depend on what stage you’re in if you’re 55 you need to invest and not save a lot of people say save for retirement but if you put that money in a bank account you’re not going to get enough to be able to retire and if you’re 55 you have to invest a lot we’re talking about 25 percent of your gross income if you’re just 65 years older we’re talking half of your gross income needs to be invested you’re going to delay when you retire to age 70 or age 75 as you age so it can be done but it is difficult yeah that sounds I can’t imagine putting fifty percent of my income into investing and you also say that there’s some things you need to remember when it comes to Social Security this is probably the most important thing for boomers because while not everyone could save that much of their income especially if they haven’t yet taking social security at the right time makes a huge difference you can take it early at age 62 you could take it on time between age 66 and 67 or late if you will at age 70 each year that you wait though you get a guaranteed 8% return in annual payments so it’s generally best to delay this as long as possible that’s going to significantly increase your payout and the most important thing to look at is how healthy you are if you’re not healthy this would change what you’re going to do but Social Security and when to take it one of the most vital things for a baby boomer and you say don’t fall for mythical insurance what is that mythical insurance and this is this is a really important thing to don’t mix insurance with investments don’t purchase the annuities don’t purchase whole life insurance these things are often sold psychologically to eliminate fear when it comes to investing the market may go down I’ll protect you with some sort of insurance but the reality is if we had a sort of financial Armageddon and the markets all went to zero no insurance would pay out on that anyway so they’re going to take your money invest it like you would and they’re going to charge you a lot more so you’re far better off investing this money on your own but we see all those celebrities who look so trustworthy on TV telling us this is what we need so you’re saying that they’re not telling us the right information right they’re selling something to you and I think that’s probably the most important thing we’ll talk about today is how to find somebody that’s not going to sell something to you but someone who’s going to do what’s best for you and how do you find that right person you have to find a fiduciary and that word is often sort of laughed at or made fun of because no one hears about it but it is the most important word in wealth management it means that person is going to do what is best for you at all times ask your financial advisor or the person you’re seeking to hire are you my fiduciary at all times that is the most important question you can ask and so is that the make or break between how much money they make off of the investments that they’re working on with you that’s a piece of it but in reality of fiduciary has a legal obligation to do what is in your best interest 85% of financial advisors are not your fiduciary their job is represent their company the products they sell or to do what is merely suitable for you so there’s a huge difference and not only expertise but also care for you as an individual and everyone that’s different circumstances I believe that they all should be taken care of with their best interests in mind well we talked about baby boomers what about in general because you’re saying young people aren’t saving and there’s a I guess a false sense of security about having plenty of time to start doing that it’s incredibly important no matter what age you are to save ten percent of your gross income and invest that ten percent every single year that’s not a magical number that’s the number that allows you to replicate your standard of living when you get into your 60s and that’s really the goal for all of us accumulating wealth it gives you flexibility it won’t make you happy but it will give you flexibility and it’s really important to have that as we age because we have no idea what our future self is going to be like right and people are living longer and so we have to plan for more years Oh many more years in fact it’s highly likely that out of the three of us here two of us are gonna live past 85 and and maybe one of us live past 90 and so you may retire for 25 or 30 years and that’s why it’s so important to save and invest your money otherwise you will not be able to provide for all of your needs in retirement IRA or 401K now you’re counting on family or social security which may or may not be the same by the time we retire so it’s very very important to provide for yourself through saving and investing but bottom line it’s not too late for any of us it’s not too late for any of us almost I suppose but the most important message is learn from the wisdom of others right save and invest now and begin to provide for yourself wonderful thank you so much advice thank you

What Do You Do With Yourself After Retirement? – Dr. Devi Shetty with Sadhguru

Devi Shetty: Sadhguru, I am constantly torn between my senior colleagues, who are incredibly skilled specialists. Sadhguru, the … on the heart there are some procedures, which are done by extremely few individuals on this world. I’ll offer an example – I do a procedure called pulmonary endarterectomy that’s the embolism from the leg mosts likely to the lung arteries and also it blocks all the arteries. So twenty … twenty-five years ago there was no treatment for this. And when you are detected, you are destined to pass away within a year. Today individuals who get on house oxygen for two years, 3 years you do the operation they can return to skydiving or they can go to diving. That’s the transformative result but there are only fifty surgeons much less than fifty cosmetic surgeons in this globe who can operate. And similar to this we have a few of my associates that are exceptionally gifted surgeons.They are in their fifties now. And also several of them are continuously speaking regarding retirement. Specifically one cosmetic surgeon he is an incredibly gifted doctor that can take care of any type of broken valve. He is single, he has no various other commitments every other day he speaks about going to Banaras or someplace and retire and I keep informing him that God really did not produce him to retire as well as meditate. He has to be taking care of all these troubles So he offers me expansion every 6 months Guruji. At the end of six months the normal rigmarole starts, he chats about retirement and also everyone is depressed in the hospital.So just how do you deal with this kind of individuals? Sadhguru: You need to you should provide him a one year sabbatical with me Yes, because the need or the idea of retired life gets in anyone’s mind due to the uniformity of what they’re doing, whatever it may be. Someone else may assume it ' s a fantastic point but in your experience somewhere it ' s becoming tedious or stationary. Stagnancy is something that human knowledge and also human system can not take. And the majority of the disorders are as a result of stagnation stagnancy of life. They might be … they may be obtaining their you understand as soon as in 3 years promo. They might be making bit more cash. All these points may be happening however somewhere experientially there’s a stagnancy, which can be a major reason for most of the complex conditions that people manufacture within their systems. The even more complicated they obtain you attempt to create even more talented specialists. I am saying we are manufacturing the problems, we are trying to manufacture an option. I believe as we provide options people that have adl … already gotten involved in troubles, they need solutions.But it ' s very important that we show people just how not to produce these troubles, to ensure that rather than fifty, you need to produce five thousand specialist cosmetic surgeons to address all these people that get on self-help to disease. I would certainly claim a specialist who is that has a certain capability and that has actually functioned with his life, if he desires to discover something of his very own nature, that will certainly be the biggest thing to do due to the fact that he is not a man without dedication neither competence. When proficiency and dedication exists, you should not run him through the gear ram duty(rigmarole?)and also ruin that possibility. It is necessary that he discovers something of his own nature, which will make him We put on ' t recognize what he’ll generate. You can not also estimate what he might create. I think a sabbatical is great. He might generate something that you have not thought feasible. Devi Shetty: I will certainly … I will communicate your message Sadhguru. I make certain he'is watching this program.

Devi Shetty: Sadhguru, I am continuously torn between my elderly coworkers, who are extremely skilled cosmetic surgeons. That’s the transformative effect but there are just fifty surgeons less than fifty cosmetic surgeons in this globe that can operate. Particularly one cosmetic surgeon he is an exceptionally gifted doctor that can repair any type of broken shutoff. I assume as we provide solutions individuals who have adl … already gotten into troubles, they require solutions.But it ' s really essential that we educate people exactly how not to create these issues, so that instead of fifty, you have to produce 5 thousand specialist doctors to participate in to all these people who are on self-help to disease. I would certainly claim a cosmetic surgeon that is who has a certain proficiency and that has actually functioned through his life, if he desires to check out something of his very own nature, that will be the biggest point to do since he is not a guy without dedication nor competence.

within the financial investment strategy we actually recognize that we can just manage three points in all 3 things we in fact desire to reduce through this investment system the initial point we can minimize or reduce is exactly how much tax you pay when spending we had a a client that was not a customer of simplify Monetary however of a tax company concerning the the CPA firm in March to select up his tax obligation return and he was entirely surprised that he had sixty thousand bucks of additional revenue on his income tax return that he needed to pay tax on today before April 15th and it was due to the resources gains being identified and various other circulations within his financial investment account and he stated however I didn'' t sell anything as well as the account didn ' t also increase that much in 2014 and I obtained to pay tax obligation on it but he was currently in the highest tax brace paying about close to 37 percent on short-term capital gains and also returns

obligation to make sure that we don'' t need to have that take place and also truly just control tax and pay much less of it is the goal as well as I'' ll maintain this at a high degree but it'' ll get the the factor across primary is the type of Investments that you possess some are perhaps funds or ETFs or private uh equities or things like that the funds and also ETFs they might pass on resources gains and also as well as circulations to you annually without you even doing anything without you selling or or purchasing but it occurs within the fund a lot of times now we would

utilizing a method that'' s called tlh each year there'' s numerous many changes or large changes that happen in a financial investment account and also the technique that we call tlh that permits our customers that'' s tax obligation loss harvesting it permits them to offer an investment that may be down for component of the year and after that relocate into a really similar investment today to ensure that the financial investment technique stays the same and they can really take a write-off on that loss on their tax obligations that year currently there'' s some rules around this once again we'' re going high level yet it offsets uh you know for that client who are not a customer yet that had the large sixty thousand dollars of earnings he might have been countering those resources gains by doing tlh or tax obligation loss gathering that approach has actually actually saved hundreds and also countless of dollars for clients over a period of years so on the following thing that we can control in our investment plan which'' s cost this set ' s much easier but numerous consultants they don'' t do it due to the fact that it winds up paying them less now considering that we'' re accredited economic coordinator professionals we do comply with the fiduciary standard and also we'' re bound to do what'' s best for our clients so tell me this if you had 2 Investments as well as they had the specific same strategy the very same Returns the same danger and also the same tax obligation efficiency would you rather want the one that costs 0.05 percent each year or the one that sets you back 12 times extra at point 6 percent well I know that answer is apparent as well as we'' d choose a lower expense funds if it was all the exact same affordable funds and ETFs that'' s just how we can truly help in reducing the expense or that'' s how you can help minimize the price in your financial investment strategy since every basis point or component of a percent that'' s conserved in cost it'' s included to your return annually and also this amounts to a great deal in time now the last thing that we intend to lessen as well as manage is run the risk of and we currently spoke regarding the defects of spending exclusively based upon on threat resistance and also when it involves risk a great deal of individuals think that term risk tolerance you recognize exactly how much risk can we on a scale of one to ten where are we on the the risk aspect but there'' s an additional means to look at threat in your investment technique and like King Solomon we believe that there'' s a season for everything or like the if it was the bird song There ' s a period for whatever as well as we also think that there'' s 4 various periods in investing and also relying on what season we'' re in some Investments perform better than others as well as the 4 Seasons are pull it up now it'' s more than expected rising cost of living which we may be feeling however there'' s also a season that can be lower than anticipated or deflation and also then there'' s more than expected financial development or reduced than expected financial development and also the goal is decrease the threat in spending by making sure that we'' re prepared for each as well as every one of those possible Seasons since there are private asset courses that have a tendency to do well during each one of those periods and also we don'' t recognize no one understands what'' s truly going to happen you recognize individuals would certainly would speculate and state oh it'' s mosting likely to be this or this or whatever may take place however we put on'' t understand for certain that ' s why we desire to see to it we just have the possession courses in the right places to make sure that the earnings strategy doesn'' t obtain impacted so the investment system integrated with the income system clients wear'' t need to bother with the activities out there since they understand they'' ve got sufficient to weather any possible period I hope this has been handy for you up until now as you'' re assuming concerning your retired life if it was please subscribe or like this video clip so that

How we Retired at 40..💰7 tips to succeed for Early Retirement💰

Hey guys retired at 40 I’m going on a little road trip today just me and Murph and last week I reached a milestone on my channel and I hit a million views total and 10,000 subscribers in the same week since I’ve been getting requests for quite a long time about how I retired at 40 and I’m on a long road trip right now I figured what better time to share the story so without further ado here’s the retired at 40 story so before I get started I want to say that this is not in any way a brag story in fact I’m definitely not a showy type guy I enjoy very simple things in life and money to me is more of just a vehicle to be able to retire young and have my family live a comfortable and an easy life and to be able to enjoy lots of life experiences and be comfortable in life before I’m old and gray so really the journey began in about 2002 graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in marketing and business and by that point I have met my wife Kelly she had already graduated from school and she was kind of waiting for me and we wanted to move west out of the Midwest to move west see some new territory and get closer to the outdoors so I grabbed my degree ran out the door packed up my 1987 Ranger fully equipped with eight foot hay racks full of all of my personal belongings and we drove to Littleton Colorado and at this point in my life I had $200 in my pocket and Kelly had about the same so being completely naive and basically completely broke but with a degree I was on the search for the best suit and tie job that I could possibly find so I bounced around for a couple months just working some kind of halfway jobs and I quickly realized that I did not want to wear a suit and tie and I wanted nothing to do with the man and working a nine-to-five job well Kelly had found a job in a real estate office working the front desk and she had become friends with a couple of the big-time Realtors there one of which you caught wind that I had some handyman type skills but he made me a deal that if he paid cash for a house and I fixed it up that he would split the profit with us 50/50 and at this point in my life all I saw was dollar signs if I was completely blown away that there was someone that could pay cash for a house this is coming from a guy who had less than $200 in his pocket at this point it was pretty much scraping by I tried to hold back my excitement to him but naturally I said yes please let’s do that I was working the graveyard shift at Target stocking shelves I’d worked for 10 hours I would go home grab a little bit of breakfast and I’d head over to the property and work on it for another five or six hours I try and catch a few hours of sleep and then I would rinse and repeat it was at this point in my life that I learned a few different things one you really have to dig deep to reach your goals in life because I was not getting paid by the hour and at this point I didn’t know how much money I was gonna make I didn’t know if I would make $500 when this was all done or if I was going to make $5,000 when this is all done so I learned that a lot of things that can benefit you financially you have to put in the work upfront without knowing what your final outcome is going to be after about three months which seemed like an eternity of working seven days a week for sometimes 15 sometimes 20 hours a day on this house the house was ready to go on the market and it was all finished it looked great and then before you knew it it’s sold and then the house closed and at this point I still didn’t know what we were gonna make off it but for me it didn’t matter the hard part was done I didn’t have any of my own money into it I just had my time basically so the guy we were doing the investment with hands me an envelope and I opened it up and at $8,000 being twenty-two years old and having $8,000 I might as well have hit the lottery and that brings me to my second valuable lesson that I learned and that is being responsible with money so when you have $8,000 and you’re 22 years old a lot of people would go buy a new car they’d go buy some flashy things some pretty things but to me I had realized that if I can make $8,000 once I can make $8,000 again and again and again and again so I can either go p*&% the $8,000 away that I had worked my a#* off for or I can take that $8,000 and do exactly what he did but do it myself and potentially make twice or three times as much money so my wife being in a real estate office we became acquainted with quite a few smart people financially smart people we learned a lot about real estate very quickly because we were willing to learn which is my next valuable life lesson is that you never stop learning so we took our $8,000 we put a small down payment on a condo in Littleton because we realized that giving someone else our money was you might as well be throwing it away we wanted to be working towards something and it own something on our own so we took our other four or five thousand dollars and we started our search for a real estate investment that we could do all of our all on her own and get a hundred percent of the profits so after some searching we did find a place we found a small town home it was not in as nice of area as we were living it was smaller it needed lots of work but that takes us to our next light life lesson that we learned and that is to sacrifice for a greater payoff in the future so we had only lived in our condo for a very short time but we realized that if we moved into the real estate investment that we could rent out the place that we are living at and move into the place that we were fixing up that we’d have to be paying a mortgage on anyway we had our first real estate investment and we had our first rental so being 22 years old and owning two properties and carrying two mortgages and at this point I’m still working at Target was a pretty scary proposition in life but all I could see was that $8,000 check they had started to change our lives I also want to point out and kind of give a shout-out to my parents and to my wife’s parents because neither one of our parents ever handed us anything in life they always made us work for what we achieved in fact when we move we tried to convince my parents to co-sign on our mortgage for the condo that we bought and they said no way at the time I was very very mad at them and I thought I would never forgive them in hindsight it was one of the best things they’ve ever done for me because it just made me have that fire in my belly and really just want to work to get what I wanted so back to having two mortgages that was a completely scary thing in my life I was making something like 10 dollars an hour at Target I think Kelly was making $13 an hour at the real estate office she was working at we could barely afford the condo we had but now he had two.

God bless the banks lending money to anyone at that point on the very plus side of that we learned that someone else can pay our mortgage and we’re basically getting that money for free and then later we figured out that there are many many many tax benefits and huge benefits of owning a rental property so we quickly learned that trying to pay for materials and the things needed to fix up an investment property on just barely over minimum wage is not easy to do the thing that happened next couldn’t have come at a more perfect time so all of a sudden I had money to spend to fix up this house and it would just get me to that next big paycheck that much quicker so that’s what we did we fixed up the house we doubled our money we rolled it into the next one so we kept bouncing from house to house quite a few times and that sacrifice of from going from a nice house to live in to going to a crappy house to live in to fix up to making it nice again to going to another crappy house to fix up it became pretty stressful but we always had our eyes on the prize “are you still with me Murph?” after doing this two or three times I remember getting a check for the last one and the check was forty one thousand dollars so at that point it didn’t make sense to work at Target anymore so I just started doing it full-time but we never took the big proceeds from the real estate and put it into our actual living we always rolled it into the next property and that kind of gave us the baseline of even how we live today we always live well below our means we take the money that we make and we put it into things that will make us an income not into something that will lose us money but you do have to treat yourself every once in a while otherwise there’s no reason to make the money in the first place Kelly saw many of the high producing Realtors making large amounts of money so she decided to get a real estate license and she created her own real estate business so now we really felt like we had the world by the balls because we were getting paid a commission to buy the property and then we were saving half of the Commission when we sold the property and I was fixing him up so we just get rolling our profits in rolling our profits in rolling our profits in until family we were able to buy a house and now that we could get a house we were playing with the big boys the profits were much larger but so was the risk and we really didn’t want to lose all the way it worked for for the last couple of years so we did a few houses and we made some great money but instead of selling them and pulling out our profits we kept them as rentals and it was at this point that we really started building up our rental inventory at this point it was about 2006 or 2007 and real estate was starting to slow down a little bit but we have purchased a large house I’m a courage that was really a big risk for us it was a large house to fix up it was our biggest project for sure it took us the most money to fix it up and we had the most money into it so we lived in this house for about 8 months while we were fixing it up and we kind of decided after doing about 12 properties that the moving all the time was starting to get kind of old and we were kind of getting older ourselves and we decided that we wanted to have kids and kind of settle down a little bit Murph are you with me? sometimes I feel like I’m just talking to myself so after the eight months was up we finished the house we sold it and shortly after the real estate market completely crashed the bubble had burst and Colorado was one of the hardest hit States we got out of the house just in the nick of time and not only did the real-estate market bubble burst we found out that we couldn’t have kids and it seemed like a real low point in our lives but around 2007 when all this happened we realized our next lesson with every negative there is a big positive that can be gained from it and you can just use it as fuel for your fire so the recession was tough we thought our great life had come to an end we thought we were gonna have to get regular jobs you know people were losing their jobs left and right people were losing their houses Colorado was hit very very hard one of the worst states during the recession and we learned that what goes up must come down and in this case it came down hard in many cases not just real estate when things are bad that’s the time to invest and if you’re smart with your money and you’ve been saving while everyone else spending that’s the time to benefit though from about 2008 to 2012 we were buying rentals so we were able to adapt I started doing contracting because that’s pretty much what I was doing before but now I had to be doing work for someone else and Kelly’s always been a mover and a shaker and even a bad real estate market she was able to keep her business moving we were buying things for pennies on a dollar and even though we were not making great money and in some cases losing a little bit of money on rentals we were able to stick it out and after lots of lots of years of lots of lots of heartache and lots of lots of doctors we were able to have two boys so about 2014/2015 real estate started creeping back up again prices kept going through the roof and just when he thought it was the peak they just kept going up stuff was flying off the shelves you could list a house and it would have multiple offers within 24 hours so we had about age 35 we were completely debt-free we had several rentals that we were cash flowing we didn’t owe any money on the rentals so all that money was just rolling into a bank account when you have no bills and you have an income coming in your net worth starts to grow very quickly so we rode out the storm Kelly’s business was doing great my contracting business was doing great we have liquidated a lot of our real estate in Colorado we had capital to play with we had two beautiful young boys and then I fell to my knees crying like a little baby I had herniated a disc in my back and I was on a walker for about a month contracting for me was out of the question I didn’t even want to think about picking something up so I took some time off and I raised our kids which at first I thought would just be for a few months and then a year passed and then another year passed and I decided that I kind of liked it we had rental income coming in Kelley’s business was doing better than it had ever been in fact she had started her own she had several people working for her and just as a little side income I got to do what I love to do which is antiques I was just buying and selling antiques so we were trying to be very strategic at this point because we owned a fair amount of property in Colorado but we knew that our ultimate goal was to retire at 40 and at the rate things were going up we didn’t want to sell too early because we didn’t want to miss out on that upside but we didn’t want to sell too late because we didn’t want to risk the chance of taking a step back so as some regret we sold the majority of our properties in around 2017 but this was a game-changer because we were able to make cash for every rental that we purchased so we loaded up on rentals in Iowa we actually purchased our property that we’re going to move into which is actually where I’m headed now and that kind of brings us up to speed to current date I take care of our 10 rentals which keep which keeps me pretty busy just in itself i buy and sell antiques i get to see my kids all the time we have a good rental income coming in now we do youtube oh yeah we also do a couple fix and flips every year Kelly has her real estate team with about 10 employees and in June of 2020 we’re going to retire at 40 so all in all life is great I have a wonderful family I have enough assets and passive income to live a comfortable life

investigation you understand Social Protection was not indicated to be your key income source as you age in America it was implied to be an extra revenue so you need to understand the amounts you can get at what future ages and can you still function and also does your state tax it or not you understand there'' s a whole lot of regulations around Social Safety as well as my referral would be simply be familiar with your guidelines in your state around your age just for the knowledge I don'' t know however I think there ' s a specific amount of uh you can ' t make a specific quantity of money and still get Social Safety and security I wear'' t actually recognize yet you have to know that'' s I think that ' s the point you actually need to know whatever concerning social safety get in touch with your account as well as your monetary plan right here'' s a huge one for us as well as it should be for you also I believe you recognize cash will never ever purchase you happiness as well as we ' ve listened to that like our entire lives and so we in fact did a little of study and you recognize what really specifies joy for us and also we stumbled upon this quote and part of it is from Warren Buffett however it states you understand we intend to do what we want when we desire with whom we desire for as long as we want which to us will Define our joy you know currently a few of what you do will certainly need money yet it'' s not everything about purchasing things as well as points you recognize most of what we provide for joy currently is experiences I I would certainly think that for us as well as inform me if you agree but the something we just spent money on is offering us more happiness currently for an extremely low worth than anything else I bear in mind paying for life you know what it is your pickleball noise pickleball so we joined the YMCA uh for like eighty dollars a month for the household we got a pickleball racket for 100 dollars and also 6 spheres for eighteen dollars as well as we'' re obtaining like five or 6 hrs of use out of that weekly yeah that'' s happiness that actually is making us happy it'' s not a brand-new vehicle it ' s not a brand-new collection of golf clubs right it'' s not what we ' re used to thinking that was um would create happiness and also we'' re likewise considering vacations differently now that we have the complete seven days to ourselves several vacations to see buddies or family you recognize they come to be Tuesday Wednesday Thursday versus the high traffic weekend break Friday Saturday Sunday numerous vacations Beach days lunch days you understand we just renting out a watercraft for a day we'' re doing that with company comes we'' re leasing pontoon boats now for the day to take business out it'' s three hundred bucks for a day which in one regard seems like a whole lot but it'' s a whole lot cheaper than possessing a boat right that'' s true so we still venture out on the water now look you clearly need cash in retired life all of us can concur on that but just how much do you require and just how much is sufficient you'' ve reached determine how much you have just how much you can pull out monthly as well as how much time it'' s going to last those are vital inquiries you require to overcome with your organizer as well as your account yep and also focusing on some of these
