So, when it comes to everything…these are two big main takeaways that I have learned throughout all of my experiences saving and investing, it just comes down to this:

First, I only view my income as not how much I make, but instead – how much that money makes ME.

For example, if I earn $10,000…I don’t see that as $10,000…instead, I’d see that as $50 per month in passive income when I invest that money into buying a rental property at a 6% return. By that logic, if I’m able to invest $50,000…that’ll cover the basic grocery bill for pretty much the rest of my life. If I can get $350,000 invested in a rental property…that’s enough passive income to cover a 1 bedroom apartment in Los Angeles in a good area. And at $1 million invested…that’ll replace the average annual salary from most full time employees. I challenge you to start thinking the same way, as well…this will make the aspects of saving and investing so much easier, and over time – you can replace all of your expenses by having your money do all the work for you.

Second, beyond the essentials…I only try to buy things that I can put to work that will make more money, or can be seen as an investment.

For example, I consider the computer that I’m editing on right now to be a good use of money, that helps expedite the work I do. Or, buying an extra camera to film on so I could get a second angle for The Graham Stephan Show…or, paying extra to create a brick veneer for the background of my videos so they’re more visually appealing…or, even something like this house that I bought, I find it much more relaxing to work outside and come up with new content – and when I feel more at ease, I tend to produce better quality. If you can find a way to coordinate your expenses around things that will help INCREASE your productivity or income, it can be absolutely worth it.

  1. People, the most valuable resource is time. Graham has earned enough that know he can hire an expensive assistant, and use his time in better and more rewarding ways. That's the point of this video.

  2. The frugal way of living only works for people who really enjoy it. And in that case, there are only a few. One might acquire that sense through not being an active social being and not knowing the funs in life. Some of it might be innate which is the more likely option. Wherein I don't really get why such people exist. I guess it's because of the circumstances and the things that they've gone through but one of the biggest factors should be their choices. The friends they choose, the things they consider fun, and their choice of mentality. Nevertheless, as long as they enjoy their lives, it's fine. Though I still don't get it.

  3. I never realized how much money I could save on food. I used to spend over 300 dollars a month on food but now I only spend about 40 dollars a month. And that's without sacrificing calories or nutrients. Whole plant foods is the way to go. The cheapest oats, potatoes, beans, pastas, rice etc costs nothing! Especially when you buy them in bulk and on sale.

  4. Of course it’s changed a little with a girlfriend. That’s life. If he kept it the same it would be so unattainable. My husband owns a business and we have 3 children. When I watched his older videos and saw the $200 food budget I thought this guy can do that because he is single with no children. It’s gone up now that he’s in a relationship and it’ll go up more once/if he has kids. His part of the food bill is $400 but she buys the groceries which is probably another $300ish so around $700 in food and that’s more normal in a relationship especially if your eating healthy delicious food. I’m excited to see his expenses as his life goes on. We make a really good living and live on about the same as him a month personal wise. Our business has totally different expenses that cost more. After taxes saving investing and giving we live on about 30% of our income and we live in ca too. We have 0 debt besides our personal mortgage and that frees up so much cash to use on other things while still living a very comfortable life with a great standard of living. I dislike cheap millionaires our goals are to be frugal and not cheap. The difference is we look for great deals but we are also very generous. Cheap people look for great deals free hand outs and still aren’t generous. I STRONGLY dislike those kind of people.

  5. You should bundle your home, car, and business insurance. And do a balloon policy over everything you own. Its considered part of your tangible net worth if its insured. Also money should always make you more money. So if your investment streams will overcome your monthly bills in the end you are ahead there. The 1200 1400 a month for everything but the house is right on key. The 5500 and 630 is another 6130 and 14 is 7530. Yearly that 120,000.00 so you need to making right around 300,000 from everything to break even in 20 years with investments and salary. If not you need to start some more money generating.

  6. Strategy is a key element of a long term successful forex and binary options trading. You can keep making wins at the beginning of a period and later, you start making losses toward the end of the trading period or even at halfway. This results from little or no attention to the need for sustenance and consistency with the prevailing market structure and trading without compromising your initial investment. When you trade with Mr Robert Wilson, you will understand the importance of consistency with wins as regards trading stocks online. You will never find it easy trading on your own or getting a better trader. All you need, is an Expert like Mr Robert Wilson. May God bless him endlessly.

  12. Just a quick word of caution worth considering from my personal experience – I didn't opt in on phone insurance for years but I ended up smashing my phone and not for the youtube algorithm. It was very expensive and could have negated all the cost had I only opted for the insurance. I'm not one to drop my phone often but it happened again 2 years later, this time with insurance and my "new" phone was $10. I know it adds up but it's still many times cheaper than purchasing another phone or was in my case.
