“I am happy I've been so fortunate. I've always been one of those people. Could put me in a box and I'd have a great time. I would turn the box into an airplane and I'd be flying it around before I came here. My wife recorded a video I found these so we were in a hotel and they gave these cans of water. Okay. These two cans of water. I took them as I recorded this video. I went on the balcony and I did a stone cold Steve Austin mock video where I opened up the cans of water and just dumped it on myself. I don't know why and I sent it to my cousins I have been very blessed to I can have a good time with anything. I'm a pretty lighthearted guy. I know I talk about serious stuff, but I've been very fortunate on that. And I can have fun in a lot of situations.”

“Starting with first accounting and taxes, then we get into the legal, your estate planning, what types of attorneys, what types of legal protection and shields and tools can you use to structure your business, your investments, to protect you, but also amplify your wealth, and then things like insurance. But then also your estate planning, because you talk about generational wealth.

“The most important thing that I think we did not talk about is we talked about the economic system. We talked about the principles, but I think we didn't get into the actual steps now of how do you preserve and protect your wealth and how do you now continue to use wealth protection tools because there's a lot of that that every single wealthy person is investing a huge amount of time, effort and money into, that most people have no idea even exists. We started to touch on taxes, but there's so much more.”

“So start by learning for free even before books. Start by watching YouTube videos, start by listening to podcasts. Then you take the next step and you start reading books. And when I talk about is if you go out and over the next twelve months, you read five books on money management and investing. I just gave three. Read five books on personal development and self development. Read five books on how to start a business. Read five books on leadership. And then read five books on how to scale, market, and build, grow your business. You're going to have an MBA level education for a fraction of the cost. Start with that. And then go out and make mistakes. And as you grow, that's when you can start buying classes and other things because you'll find people that you might want to get consulting from. But start with that, and”

“But many people now want a quicker solution. So now we start trading. We start finding hot companies, the next Tesla, the next Amazon. We see what Reddit says. We see what Google says. And we start buying these things because we're excited. But that excitement is what's killing your wealth because you're investing on emotion instead of investing on financials. And so this is where you talk about what's boring Just keep doing the market. Keep investing in the market when the market's up, when the market's down, when the market's side was, just keep investing because that has been proven to win. We know that if you invest a hundred dollars a month from the age of twenty one until your retirement sixty five sixty six, and you can get the same ten percent return, you're going to retire a millionaire.”

“And so now what happens? If you invest your money into the stock market and by the stock market, I mean, let's just say you buy the S&P five hundred, which is a basket of the five hundred largest companies in the stock market. For example, not financial advice if you invest in SPY, that is an ETF that gives you exposure to the five hundred largest companies. We know that historically that's gone up by ten percent a year, but that's not enough for a lot of people. So now I'm going to play this game of, I'm going to try to beat the market. And some people will, most won't. So now some people are going to try to get into the game on investing in individual companies or maybe trading companies. Because even investing in individual companies, if you invest for the long enough period of time, you're probably going to win.”

“Yes Have to be sometimes impatiently patient. If we talk about building wealth through investing in money, the numbers have shown that over the last century, the stock market has gone up by an average of ten percent a year historically Many people lose money when investing in stocks. I mean, if you go around talking to people, have you invested in stocks? Yes, yes, yes. How many have made money? The hands are dropping. Well, if the stock market has gone up by around ten percent a year on average every year for the last one hundred years, why are so many people losing money? Because we start playing the wrong game.”

“what you think about risk. It's well, if I invest a hundred dollars, how fast I'm going to make the money back, am I going to make this money back? It became all these little analyses before you've even done anything. You gotta start And then it's the innovation of what are you gonna do? It's asking for a blueprint. Tell me exactly what to do.

“I used to think Everybody needs to become an entrepreneur. Because when I started to see success as an entrepreneur, I crossed that invisible barrier. I said Oh my God, people need to see this. You have to become an entrepreneur. You can do things on your own. And I was preaching this to my friends. I got one friend of mine who was To quit his job, and to then join me he would come to my office and I would talk to him about things and I said, you know, different ways you can do this. And I realized pretty quickly. He is not meant to be an entrepreneur. The work ethic was different. When he would go home, he didn't want to work, and Dad did not click to me. What do you mean you don't want to work after five o'clock? Like there's no stop point when you're starting a business. You got to start. The second thing was”

“I think everybody in America needs to be business owner. But the majority people should not operate a business. When you invest in a stock, you become a business owner. You don't operate the business if I go out and buy a share of Amazon, I'm not working in the company, I'm not operating in the company, but I own some of it. Some people should start a business. I'm a huge advocate for entrepreneurship for the right person.”

“Me, the way that I do it is I do it through cash flow. Most of my investments, my real estate investments pay me cash flow. When I buy a property, I buy it for the cash flow Most of my stock market investments are dividend paying assets, meaning they pay me cash flow dividends just for owning the stock. Some of my investments grow in value, they're more appreciative for appreciation, But when I think about retirement for me, it's cash flow exceeding my expenses.”

“We also saw the number of workers in a household increase. In nineteen seventy one, the average household had one person that went to work. The man went to work and the woman didn't. That's how life was in early nineteen seventies. In twenty twenty one, many households are two household incomes. So 1971 to 2021, the median household income grew by around 600%. The SP 500, the largest 500 companies in the stock market, grew by around 4,000% So again, inflation happens, inflation benefits the investor. How do you become wealthy? It's by investing your money. So if you want to retire, if you want to build wealth, you have to be an investor, and you have to calculate what is that wealth number for you.”

“Which means that the wealth for investors has grown almost five times or about five times faster than incomes. This is why you can't earn your way to wealth. You can't save your way to wealth. You have to invest your way to wealth. And remember, wealth is retirement. And you might say, well, Despite that's just because of the pandemic and everything that happened after the pandemic. Well, let's go back in time. Let's look at it a little bit broader. Let's look at the five decades between nineteen seventy one and 2021. Over those five decades household income increased by around six hundred percent. Now mind you that between nineteen seventy one and twenty twenty one”

“We become wealthy is by owning investments. Our economic system is designed to benefit investors. If we take a look at twenty nineteen to twenty twenty four. Over those five years. Household incomes, the median household income grew by around eighteen percent. During those five years the SP five hundred, the stock market, has grown by almost one hundred percent”

“But here's the thing when you invest your money into dividend paying stocks, which are stocks that pay you, or into strong real estate, these are inflation adjusted investments, which means generally the As inflation happens, rental prices go up. As inflation happens, stock values and dividends also go up. And this is where now if we start to understand this, you'll understand the power of this. Because it's actually a little bit more extreme. Probably heard about the wealth gap in America and how the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Well, the reason why there happens because is because investment values grow faster than incomes. An inflation benefits investors So, you see how we start to tie this all together because wealth is about owning investments.”

“You're going to say, where in the world are you going to get a million dollars? You don't need it today. It can happen over time. When people talk about retirement planning, they're thinking about 45 years. So when we talk about wealth, why can't we talk about the long term? It's not going to happen in two days, but it can happen if you put in that work. So now, you have to put aside this amount of cash to buy certain investments that can pay you the type of cash flow. The second thing is Well, what about inflation, Jasperit? You talk about this all the time. The buying power of my dollar is going down. seventy thousand dollars when I'm sixty five years old in a few decades is not going to have the same bypowers today. You're right.”

“And now you have more options So retirement is wealth. Wealth is when your cash flow from your assets exceeds your expenses. How do you actually do this now? Well, you gotta buy the assets And in order to do that, you have to have the money. And many people assume that the way you get rich is by investing for passive income. You get rich by investing in real estate. You get rich by buying this cash flow. That's a lie. You have to have the money first. You have to have the money to invest in real estate. You have to have the money to buy the cash flow. So if we just make the numbers very round and simple, if I need seventy thousand dollars a year to live my life, and I can get a seven percent cash flow on my investments, I need to invest a million dollars to have that seventy thousand dollars a year to fund my lifestyle.”

“Then is the financial side of retirement. What is retirement? And I have a different definition than most people. Most financial advisors don't like me for the things that I say. But my definition of retirement is the same as my definition of wealth. Wealth is for me when my cash flow from my investments exceeds my expenses. It's very simple. If I expenses are four thousand dollars a month and my cash flow from my stocks and my real estate and everything else is paying me four thousand and one dollars a month, I am wealthy. So now the question is how do you actually achieve this type of wealth, retirement? The reason why I don't like the word retirement as well besides the connotation of I'm going to do nothing is they assume this I got to be 67 years old to hit this retirement. When you can achieve this wealth way sooner.”

“I've seen people who were healthy, energetic, maybe didn't love their work, but they had a reason to get up every day, go to work, retire, and literally go insane. I mean, you have nothing to do, and now you start to see health issues that you didn't have before. You start to have mental health issues which you didn't have before, and all these things just start to happen when you were going to enter your golden years. Even if you have the money to do things. So, when we talk about what is retirement, I want to caution everybody that or for your parents to start thinking about what do you want to do during retirement? Because if your goal is to do nothing, You might enjoy it for the first few weeks, maybe six months, but eventually you're going to get bored. So you got to have something to do.”

“The first solution is define what is retirement because I'm going to get a little philosophical here, but I have my issues with traditional retirement. There's a saying that says those who retire early die early. The reason why is because if you work From the age of 21 to sixty five, maybe sixty seven at a job you hate, but you work every single day, and all you're looking forward to is retire at sixty seven. You retired sixty seven, you have this great big retirement party. Now you come home, and you sit on this so funny, start watching TV. You start to lose your sense of purpose, and I've seen this very closely with people in not my family, but close to my family.”

“But if you have under that, they don't want to work with you because they want people to have some money to actually make money off of, right? Financial advisors got to eat too. So if you don't have the investments, you don't have the education, now you're stuck. And this is where now your financial education comes in. Because if you want to build wealth, you want to have quote-unquote retirement, you got to do something different. You can't keep doing what the majority of people do because if you keep doing what the majority of people do, you're going to end up like the majority people. And right now, that's broke, in debt, living paycheck to paycheck, fat and unhappy. And I'm not saying this as a general term. I mean statistically. That's what the majority of people are, especially in America. So now let's come up with a solution because we have laid out the problem.”

“three Your own Savings and Investments And this is where we have so much to do. A lack of understanding because People are not doing enough. Goes back to the whole financial education. We make money to spend money. That's what the American culture is. I make a thousand dollars, I must spend a thousand dollars, maybe twelve hundred dollars. you're never going to be able to retire with that sort of mindset. And here's the second problem with that. I'm just going to lay the promise that we'll come up with a solution. Might say, well, I need a financial advisor. No good financial advisor nowadays wants to work with anybody under five hundred thousand dollars in assets. Maybe two hundred fifty thousand dollars in assets. Maybe if you get lucky one hundred thousand dollars in assets.”

“A second problem is it's a delayed raise. The government gives you a raise in twenty twenty five based off of the inflation you had in twenty twenty four. So we already had this price growth, and then you get the raise next year. And guess what? We're going to have more inflation in 2025. So relying on Social Security is a losing proposition, which brings the next part of this three-legged stool, see if social security, then you have pensions. Pensions have become a thing of the past. I mean, if you're under the age of 45, chances are you're not getting a pension. And even if you're over the age of 45 and you promised a pension, you better cross your fingers to hope that that pension fund does not go bankrupt because there have been many pension funds that have gone bankrupt and people are then left with nothing.”

“Social Security recipients are going to receive a two point five percent raise for inflation. What they're saying is we have this inflation in twenty twenty four. And because of this inflation in twenty twenty four, you're going to get a two and a half percent raise. There's two problems with that. Number one, that raise is not enough. Things are getting a lot more expensive, even though the rate of inflation is falling. I mean, two and a half percent raise is not going to keep up over the real cost of living growth that most people feel.”

“The problem with it is you will never be able to live comfortably off of Social Security. That was never the intention, but many people are looking at it as I'm going to be able to live comfortably from this government check. But here's the problem. Let's take a look at what's happening today. Between twenty four to twenty twenty five.”

“Now on the plane ride here to LA I sat next to somebody who was telling me I didn't verify this, but he told me that the government knew that this was going to be a problem from the get go because he told me that the first recipient of the Social Security program lived to a hundred. I don't know if that's true or not, but you can Google that to see. The problem right now social security is running out of money. And this is where everyone says social security is going to run dry. You're never going to get the Social Security check. That's not true either. The reason why I say that is because the government won't let it fail. They'll either raise your taxes or they'll just print that money.”

“The first problem of Social Security because Social Security is drying up. This is a fact that if you read the headlines they'll say Social Security is going to be dry by 2034. If nothing changes. The problem is people are paying money in, but the government is paying out more than what's going in. So from any business perspective, if you have more cash outflows and cash inflows, you have a problem. And the reason for that is, well, number one, the math was So when the government keeps paying your Social Security check longer and longer and longer because people are living longer life expectancy is getting higher, that means they have to keep paying. That's not good for the government.”

“According to USA Today, we need about $1.8 million And the reason why is every year we have inflation. So if you live off of fifty thousand dollars this year, you're gonna need maybe fifty two, fifty-three, fifty-four thousand dollars next year, more the year after that, more the year after that. and fifty thousand dollars doesn't buy you what it did thirty years ago. And so now when we take a look at all these issues happening, the question is what do you do today to prevent these issues in the future? And starting with in the United States, we have what's called social security, which is a government check that you get when you retire.”

“This is a multifaceted issue The first issue is we have this huge population of old people, baby boomers, that are retired or entering retirement, that have not enough money. This is not just the US, this is also the UK, like you said. creates a few issues. Who's going to take care of them? two Who's going to fund that taking care of them? The government doesn't have that money. And the people that are going into retirement don't have that money. And their kids many times don't have that money. That's the first issue. And now as we start to dig into that, Have people that are working longer? It creates now this problem in the future that we can see today. If you're in your fifties, forties, thirties, twenties, teens, you can see that there is this problem that's happening. How do we prevent that today”

“Well, let's just assume that you're going to get a five percent interest on this. If the value of Tesla goes up by say seven percent He made a profit. So now he can go back to the bank and say, How about you give me an additional ten million dollars? And he can pay back the old loan, because the value keeps going up and as long as the value keeps going up, no problem. But you can start to see where this gets risky. Because if Tesla goes bankrupt, now we're talking about a house of cards that can collapse. And now you have all this debt that you've already spent, and no more collateral.”

“The collateral is the company of his assets, those stock options. Tesla in this instance. So then he gets let's call it ten million dollar loan from the bank. Now he has ten million dollars in his bank account, but it's not an income, it's debt. Debt is not taxed. If you go out and get a mortgage for a half a million dollars, you're not taxed. If you do a cash out refinance, you're not taxed because that's debt.
