This can kills your freedom and make you a sucker

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.

I’m going to give you 50% of the solution to any problem you have. I’m going to tell you what your biggest obstacle is. And just knowing that is already half the solution — because only when you know who your enemy is, can you fight it. And I know what you’re thinking. You’re thinking it’s money — if only you had more. Or time — you don’t have enough. Knowledge — that one thing you still need to learn. Charisma, intelligence, or beauty — not enough of it. That thing you need to finish or fix,...
Today I bring you a true story. Or at least, it was told to me as a true story. And even if it wasn’t, the learning is huge. Well… Some time ago, a Filipino fisherman found a deformed pearl. Deformed and huge. It was so strange and so misshapen that he kept it as a good luck charm. And so big that the only place he could store it was under his bed. The thing weighed 34 kilos. Yes… 34 kilos or 75 pounds. One day, ten years later, our Filipino friend just discovered that the pearl was worth 100...
I'm sure you’ve been told this story before. But I don’t care. You need to hear it every day. A North Korean fisherman got distracted in the fog and drifted too close to the South Korean coast. How could he know that? Well… He realized it when his radio picked up a station he didn’t recognize… and… and… They were telling a joke! Yes, a joke. It was about two neighbors fighting over a parking spot. The fisherman laughed. How could there possibly be so many cars that parking would be a problem?...
