Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Let's talk about this seven levels of financial freedom charging.
- 0:05Speaker 2: I think you get to the seventh level if you
- 0:07Speaker 2: steal some labels and masters real quick. But I do
- 0:10Speaker 2: want to ask you if a person it doesn't have breathing,
- 0:13Speaker 2: realm more stability, like what can they do to get
- 0:16Speaker 2: to that sixth or seventh level from the conversations you've
- 0:19Speaker 2: been able to have with Robert Smith and Steve and Tyler,
- 0:23Speaker 2: et cetera, Like, what are some of the patterns that
- 0:25Speaker 2: you see?
- 0:26Speaker 1: Well, let's go through each one of them. I think
- 0:28Speaker 1: it's okay. So the first one is clarity, right, It's
- 0:32Speaker 1: like you just identify where you're at currently and you
- 0:36Speaker 1: identify where you want to go. That is actually very beneficial.
- 0:42Speaker 1: You're actually already ahead of the game. Ye from at
- 0:45Speaker 1: least seventy percent of the people. Seventy percent of people
- 0:47Speaker 1: don't even really that know where they're at financially or
- 0:50Speaker 1: where they want to go, right, So have that ability.
- 0:52Speaker 1: That's why meditation is extremely important. Having some levels is
- 0:56Speaker 1: just you know, calm down for a minute and take
- 0:58Speaker 1: things for very important. And then self sufficient where you're
- 1:04Speaker 1: actually able to cover your own expenses without outside support. Right.
- 1:08Speaker 1: And then the breathing room. Breathing room is that's when
- 1:13Speaker 1: you this is when you really start to pick up
- 1:15Speaker 1: momentum where you can actually you're no longer living paycheck
- 1:18Speaker 1: to paycheck. I would at this point in time you
- 1:21Speaker 1: would have probably six months of liquid expenses saved the reserves.
- 1:27Speaker 1: Yet so now you getting to the point where you
- 1:30Speaker 1: got forty thou fifty thousand dollars saved. Right, So now
- 1:34Speaker 1: it's like I could breathe, right if something happens today,
- 1:39Speaker 1: I'm okay, right, I'm not okay forever. I'm not living
- 1:44Speaker 1: paycheck because when you live in paycheck to paycheck, it's
- 1:47Speaker 1: very difficult to think clearly because long term, you're in
- 1:52Speaker 1: survival mode. When you're in survival mode, it's extremely difficult
- 1:58Speaker 1: to process things, and you can justify anything when you're
- 2:01Speaker 1: in survival mode as well. So that's why you never
- 2:04Speaker 1: you never want to be in survival more or when
- 2:06Speaker 1: you're in survival mode, you want to get out of
- 2:08Speaker 1: survival mode as quickly as possible. You heard this once again.
- 2:11Speaker 1: This is permeated in a lot of you know things
- 2:16Speaker 1: that we kind of grew up in, right where it's
- 2:18Speaker 1: like I had to do what I had to do
- 2:19Speaker 1: with my daughter got to eat? Right, Well, what does
- 2:22Speaker 1: that mean? Yeah, your daughter has to eat, so I
- 2:25Speaker 1: got to die. You know what I'm saying.
- 2:28Speaker 2: All you could have made better choices along the way,
- 2:30Speaker 2: knowing spending all your money at the club for four
- 2:33Speaker 2: weekends in a rowd could have led to the devastation.
- 2:36Speaker 1: That's that's the survival mode, right. So the stability, So now, yeah,
- 2:42Speaker 1: you're not living paycheck to paycheck, but you have you
- 2:44Speaker 1: have no bad debt, you're fully funded your emergency fund. Right,
- 2:49Speaker 1: no debt, fully funded, your emergency done. Now you're stable. Right.
- 2:54Speaker 1: Flexibility is a key point. Years off, right, I could
- 2:58Speaker 1: take twenty four months off. I'm good, Right, you know
- 3:01Speaker 1: I got two hundred thousand dollars saved in the bank.
- 3:04Speaker 1: I'm good to to. I could take two years off.
- 3:06Speaker 1: I want to right financial independent. Now you can pretty
- 3:13Speaker 1: much just live off with your assets, whether that's will
- 3:16Speaker 1: to state, whether that stocks whatever. But now it's to
- 3:19Speaker 1: the point where it's like your assets words come to
- 3:21Speaker 1: worst you can you can live over that. And then
- 3:23Speaker 1: the abundance on the web side is when you have
- 3:26Speaker 1: more money than you'll eleven needs. So it's the key
- 3:29Speaker 1: to get to that point. I think it's well, it
- 3:31Speaker 1: all it's all through investing, right, It's all through investing
- 3:34Speaker 1: and making early sacrifices. Early on we talked about this before.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Keep your expenses low, yes, waste to raise your income.
- 3:43Speaker 1: Invest as much money as possible, because then you start
- 3:45Speaker 1: playing multiple games right where it's like, okay, if you
- 3:49Speaker 1: if we get to that million, now you double that
- 3:53Speaker 1: million and two million, right, but now you double that
- 3:56Speaker 1: two million and four million. Now you double that four
- 3:59Speaker 1: million and eight million. Yep, you just need one more flip,
- 4:03Speaker 1: need one more flip? Do you get to ten digits?
- 4:08Speaker 1: Once you double the eight to sixteen, Now you're out.
- 4:10Speaker 1: You're out of here. Now, you're just it's now you're
- 4:13Speaker 1: out of here right now that that next flip is
- 4:16Speaker 1: thirty two, The next flip is sixty four levels, Yeah,
- 4:21Speaker 1: the next flip is one hundred and eight. You're out.
- 4:24Speaker 1: You're out of here at that point in time, right,
- 4:26Speaker 1: But you might not ever get to So really you
- 4:29Speaker 1: got to get to eight, but you might not never,
- 4:33Speaker 1: you might not ever get to eight. If you buy
- 4:36Speaker 1: the big horn, if you go on thirty vacations, yeah,
- 4:41Speaker 1: you bought a big cars. Watch if you have a
- 4:45Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars wedding because you're a millionaire, right,
- 4:49Speaker 1: you're a millionaire one two three million. Yeah, you never
- 4:54Speaker 1: get a chance to get to that point. So now
- 4:57Speaker 1: that could hinder your ability to ever get to that
- 5:00Speaker 1: last level. It's like a video game. You got to
- 5:04Speaker 1: get to the last level.
- 5:05Speaker 2: So when you don't want to get casual vibe, the
- 5:07Speaker 2: rent money, it was a bad investment because that's what
- 5:09Speaker 2: you could have spent the media or in video right. Fact,
- 5:12Speaker 2: and people joking say, no, well you have it. I
- 5:15Speaker 2: didn't get it by giving it all away.
- 5:18Speaker 1: And somebody wants to take it from you. Nobody. There's
- 5:20Speaker 1: no sympathy when you lose it. Oh, absolutely not. You
- 5:22Speaker 1: know have said this, like when you back at the bottom,
- 5:25Speaker 1: they're gonna treat you like you're worthless. Nobody gonna have
- 5:28Speaker 1: sympathy for you when you don't have money. No more
- 5:31Speaker 1: like if you have money and you lost it, they're
- 5:34Speaker 1: not gonna They're not gonna loan you any money at all.
- 5:38Speaker 1: They're not gonna treat you how they once treated you
- 5:41Speaker 1: when they when you oh when they thought you had money. Yeah,
- 5:45Speaker 1: when you back at the bottom, they're gonna treat you
- 5:47Speaker 1: like you're worthless, So don't try to take advantage of
- 5:51Speaker 1: me when you didn't help me get it.
- 5:54Speaker 2: How much as a millions did you loan that per year?
- 5:57Speaker 2: If it made it like a budget item? I know
- 5:59Speaker 2: my number. Mind has changed dramatically.
- 6:01Speaker 1: I mean, you know, loan is a tricky word. I
- 6:05Speaker 1: would say give because I don't even expect to get
- 6:08Speaker 1: money back. You know. If I'm giving money, I'm just
- 6:10Speaker 1: gonna give it. Yeah, like I said, bro, I'm not
- 6:13Speaker 1: really giving too much money these days. I'd rather employ you,
- 6:17Speaker 1: well said, get this W nine form, let's let's let's
- 6:22Speaker 1: let's let's figure it out. I'd rather have you on payroll. Yeah,
- 6:25Speaker 1: at least I can get a tax deduction and I
- 6:29Speaker 1: can actually find something productive for you to do, whether
- 6:33Speaker 1: that's cleaning the house, whether that's you know, whatever it is, right,
- 6:38Speaker 1: I'm sure there's something that you can do that's benefit
- 6:41Speaker 1: as opposed to me just giving you money. But to
- 6:45Speaker 1: answer your question, I would say, you know, tennis match
- 6:48Speaker 1: for me for the year, and that's just the emergency.
- 6:51Speaker 1: Like I don't want to have to go to that level.
- 6:54Speaker 1: But I ain't given that more than ten thousand. Yeah, listen,
- 6:57Speaker 1: I will watch it down to a grand one thousand.
