Know the limits of what you can do
|
If your only plan to improve your finances is cutting expenses, you’ve got a big problem. Not because it’s a bad plan—it’s not... If you’re wasting money on unnecessary crap, the first thing you should fix is exactly that. But… The problem is purely mathematical, and I love maths. Cutting expenses has a limit. ​ If you make 3.000 euros or dollars or whatever per month and save 500… You may be able to save 200 more. If you turn off Netflix, maybe 215… If you cut Amazon Prime, maybe 300 And if you turn the lights off and use candles, maybe you arrive to 1.000 in total savings. ​ At some point, there’s no more room to cut, and saving an extra 50 requires a massive sacrifice… like giving up coffee and things like that. ​ It just doesn’t make sense. ​ That’s why, if you don’t want to fall into the most extreme penny-pinching lifestyle, your focus shouldn’t be on saving more—but on earning more. ​ Because unlike cutting costs, increasing your income has no limit. ​ And the best part? Even small increases make a huge difference. If you go from earning €3.000 to €4.000, for example, here’s what happens: ​ ​ This is so obvious that you might think I’m insulting your intelligence, but no matter how much we debate saving strategies, the truth is simple: Cutting expenses is fine and necessary, but the real key to financial well-being is making more money. Make. More. Money. ​ And if anyone tells you otherwise, they’re lying to you. ​ Life only happens once, and it should be lived well. ​ Not with absurd luxuries, not with reckless spending—but well. ​ And as far as I know, that requires money. ​ My plan to help you make it happens, right here: ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment? - Price $29.90​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

I don’t know if you’ve ever stopped to think about it, but the system isn’t designed for you to thrive. It’s designed for you to depend on it. On a salary someone else pays you. On the promise of a pension. On kleptocratic politicians squeezing you “for your own good.” Basically, you’re the main character in a joke that isn’t funny. Because if you depend, you don’t decide. Yes… you don’t decide even if you vote… And, if you don’t decide, you don’t disrupt. And if you don’t disrupt, you’re the...
Every business has moved online in recent years. Even the fishmonger in your hometown has joined TikTok and does live streams while serving customers. The same has happened in real estate. Agencies have shifted from offices to Instagram, Telegram, TikTok, and YouTube. From attracting clients with window signs to delivering properties straight to your phone. We’re more prepared than ever, with more information at our fingertips. An investor in the year 2000 had less competition. They only...
Look at what I learned today from the great Isra Bravo. Imagine you are born today. Yes… today. Imagine now that your parents want to torture you. And they decide to make you watch all the videos uploaded to YouTube today. Just the day of your birth… As a welcoming gift to you to introduce you to the world you’re going to live on. I repeat. Every single video uploaded to YouTube. And only the videos from that day. Exclusively those. Not a single more. Well… Do you know when you would finish...
