People mess up with debt. I mean. Not the same to have debt to buy assets that produce cash flow that assets that eat your cash. Then, a €70.000 car, or $70.000, I don’t mind, bought on instalments is not a means of transportation: it’s a sentence with a steering wheel. It might have 300 horsepower, that new leather smell, and a logo that turns heads at traffic lights, but at the end of the day, it’s still just that: a burden you carry with you everywhere. ​ The perfect symbol of financial freedom you don’t have but desperately try to project. ​ Think about it. ​ Most people don’t buy an expensive car because they need it. They’re not buying transportation. They’re buying social validation. ​ And they’re doing it at the worst possible price: by going into debt for years. ​ This isn’t about rich people who can afford these cars without blinking. We’re talking about people making less than €2,000 a month signing up for 8-year loans just to get behind the wheel of a BMW because they think it’ll make them look successful. ​ They’re wrong. ​ All they’re doing is killing their freedom. Their ability to say “no.” To walk away from a job they hate. To have the mental space to think about something other than, “Will I make it to the end of the month?” ​ That’s what you’re really buying when you sign a loan for a luxury car. You’re not buying wheels. You’re selling your peace of mind. ​ You may look prosperous, but behind closed doors, you’re living on the edge. ​ Think about it (again) ​
And the sooner you see it, the better. ​ True wealth isn’t shown. It’s felt. ​ And if you want to incur in debt, without having to show up… and feel wealth, I show you this door. ​Is this piece of real estate a good investment​ ​ PD 1: If you liked this email, don't keep it in secret and forward it to a friend.

Last week I lost a dream villa in Auckland. In the most expensive neighbour in the country. Full renovation to be made to earn around 500k$ with the trade… although this one was for me. Amazing views of the sea and the Auckland Bridge… from the kitchen and dining area. Walking distance to downtown. I just needed to counter offer around 10-15k$ more and I got it. But I was weak. Hesitant. With lots of fears and doubts… Or maybe not that much. On reflection, I have my rules. Minimum discount on...
“We want a PPP… but we don’t want to take any risk.” That scream comes from the public and private sectors alike… And every time I hear that, I already see the coffin. Today’s story is not about a PPP that went wrong. It’s about a PPP that never even made it to the starting line because the government tried to dump so much unmanageable risk on the private sector that the private sector simply said: “Good luck, amigos.” And walked away. Welcome to the Nairobi–Thika Highway PPP attempt (early...
I have a few face-to-face mentees and they have 3 types of problems: You say you became an entrepreneur to be free… but you work more hours than ever.You say you want to help… but you can barely help yourself.You say you’re chasing freedom… but you’ve built your own cage. I’m sure it also sounds familiar to you.And I also know it’s not your fault. It’s the fault of all the bullsh*t promises they sold you:That entrepreneurship would make you free.That you just need more followers.That what...
