• 0:03
  Speaker 1: should cut in my route to becoming a millionaire? I
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: always go viral with these kind of takes. I could
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: do the yada. You shouldn't even have a woman until
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: you make your first million. I'm not going to do that.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Yada, awaken.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Part two, Wednesday. Damn.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: 500,000.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: Send your queen 5,000 right now. If you serious.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: If you really serious, send your queen 5,000 right now
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: on the Cash App.
• 0:32
  Speaker 5: You really love her?
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: Do you? The number spiked up real quick.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Rashad, in your opinion, what is the first thing that.
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: A person should.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Oh, we got 62. No, no, no.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: They got a chip.
• 0:45
  Speaker 5: They got a chip.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Rashad, you want to do flex or motion? Oh, man.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: The first thing, car note for sure.
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: Man, these car notes is so crazy. And it's one
• 0:56
  Speaker 4: of these things that You get trapped in three years
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: on the lease, seven years on the purchase.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Save your money.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Seven years, crazy. So you're saying it's in 10 years now.
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: 10?
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: And it's a depreciating asset.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Cars don't hold values.
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Some cars do, but most cars don't hold value. And
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: it doesn't really change anything. Like, I have not seen
• 1:25
  Speaker 4: somebody's life drastically increase because of a car. Now, granted,
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: we do live in a place where cars mean less.
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: New York is not like a driving place. I know
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: cars mean a lot in Miami. Cars mean a lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: in LA.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: Atlanta. Houston.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Atlanta. And I have heard stories that.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: I got into an opportunity because the car that I
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: just never seen, I personally, I've never seen. I personally,
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: with my own eyes have never seen somebody get an
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: opportunity because.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You go to the Porsche club. And as a result,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: you got a $ 6 million deal.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It's rare. I haven't seen it.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: So I would say that's the first luxury that you
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: should cut. I know millionaires that drive Volvos, um, Man, Volkswagens.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: The Volkswagen is the millionaire car.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Yes, it is.
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: The Volkswagen is the millionaire car.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: That Volkswagen is a millionaire's car.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: That's not a fact.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: When I was a financial advisor, let me tell you something.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: When I was a financial advisor, my first... No, it's 100%
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: a fact. When I was a financial advisor, my first
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: office that I worked in was Park Avenue. And in
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Park Avenue, I was one of the only... black people there.
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: And they was all, it was like Italian, Jewish. Man,
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: the number one guy in the annuities, the number one guy,
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: this guy was making millions of dollars every single year.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And he drove a 15 year old Volvo. And everybody
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: that I saw They all had the same car. They
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: all had Volkswagens and Volvo. It was like the Vs. Volkswagen, Volvo,
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: every now and then you might see a X3, BMW.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Like every now and then I saw no Phantoms. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: saw no Lamborghinis.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: I'm telling you.
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: I was going to say, if you ever read The
• 3:37
  Speaker 6: Millionaire Next Door, it was like the average millionaire. Most millionaires,
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: they'll either buy like a Toyota Camry or they're buying
• 3:43
  Speaker 6: a Honda.
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: Accord, or something in that range.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: That was 30 years ago.
• 3:47
  Speaker 6: I'm just saying, in that book, and if you look
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: at studies now, it's still in that range.
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: People are still buying.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: I ain't seen a Honda Accord in a minute.
• 3:54
  Speaker 6: The number one car that they used to buy, like
• 3:57
  Speaker 6: 10 years ago, was a Nissan Altima, which is crazy.
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: Same class. That car, actually, they don't.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Even make it anymore.
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: They actually stopped production. I think this year or last year,
• 4:07
  Speaker 6: they stopped production of it. But you don't even see
• 4:09
  Speaker 6: that car anywhere.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: It talks about being frugal, living way below your means,
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: and not wanting to have attention.
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: But it's also just a practical car, and it's just like,
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you know, these people don't really got swag.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Now, am I going to drive a Volkswagen? No, I'm not.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: But I'm just giving you, I'm giving you the real,
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: I'm giving you the real situation.
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: You going to get the Camry?
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Absolutely not. But I'm also not getting a Ferrari either.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the other part. Okay, and that goes to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: my point. Any luxury spending or any vacations until you
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: hit the milli.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: That would have been mine.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: You should put away. Because the desire for the, and
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: once again, it's been brought up. Yeah, you don't spend
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: that much. It takes a lot of discipline to be
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: a grown man and everything that you wanted to buy
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: as a kid, you can buy. And then you realize
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: sometimes being able to buy it is the goal. Knowing
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: that you can get it, and I know a few people,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: and I have them, and I've got a few friends
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: who got every Ferrari, and it's special, and it's 1
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to 26 May, and two years in, you're like, was
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: it really worth 536?
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: That's a ticket, bro. Yeah, I was going to say-
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: Was it really worth 400?
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: No.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: No. It wasn't. It wasn't.
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: I think you kind of surmised both of the things.
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: You said travel- and luxury expenditures. Luxury traveling, I mean,
• 5:42
  Speaker 6: that could be extremely costly. I think that is one
• 5:45
  Speaker 6: of those ones for sure that I'm like, you don't
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: have to do that.
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: Would you like to do that?
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: Are there cheaper ways than to have luxury vacations?
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: And I'm saying like you find a family, you're doing
• 5:54
  Speaker 6: first class, you're renting out the Airbnb. That adds up.
• 6:00
  Speaker 6: Those are luxuries that we don't need. It could be like, hey,
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: I'm just going to travel. I'm going to drive down
• 6:05
  Speaker 6: to a place right, cut costs, like do that instead.
• 6:08
  Speaker 6: But having frivolous spending, whether it's cars or it's watches,
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: trust me.
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it adds up.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: We all spend $ 40, 000, $ 50, 000 for watches, and then the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: girl that you're on a date with don't even know
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: what it is.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: She don't like you.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Just speak to the average person, because the average person
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: is not buying a Rolls Royce or a Lamborghini.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: But the average person is spending a lot on luxury goods.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: We saw it at Invest. That's what I'm getting at.
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: They're not buying a Rolex. But these clothes is becoming...
• 6:38
  Speaker 4: It's insane, bro. Balenciaga is like Nikes. People are spending
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: a lot of money on clothes.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: Especially for the kids in middle school and high school.
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: Men and women.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: And jewelry, too.
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying, dudes will buy a fake chain. Because
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: when I said I can't trust anybody with fake jewelry,
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: I got crucified.
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: They wearing fake clothes, though.
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: A lot of them is wearing fake clothes.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: Fake clothes, like what brand?
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: There's a lot of podcasters who got the Ford Louis V.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: I seen Chrome Heart jeans for $ 15, 000, $ 30, 000. Those is
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: not paying $ 30, 000 for Chrome Heart jeans.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: They're not wearing paper.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: Even the fake Chrome is not cheap.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: But I'm saying they're wearing fake stuff regardless, but it
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: is what it is, right?
• 7:24
  Speaker 6: Even that, like nobody at a certain level, what you
• 7:29
  Speaker 6: have on, doesn't really mean the character of the.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: Person you are.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Well, it never means the character of the person.
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: So just build that.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Or your acumen in business.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: Invest in that.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got to get the girl first. Let's
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: be honest. So do what you got to do to
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: get the girl. Once you get the girl.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: No.
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: Get your affairs in order first.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Get your money right.
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Get your money in order.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Get you in order.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: They're going to spend 60 on a land.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: I'm a realist. I'm a realist.
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: The average dude is not eating peanut butter and jelly,
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: sleeping on the floor. Look, you want to go out
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Friday night. You want to enjoy it. Look, let's not
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: be extremists.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: Let's not be extremists.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But listen, I'm not here to talk to the average.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I'm here to talk to the elite. And then they're
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: going to come back in two years and be like, well,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I fucked up my bag. You're going to spend 50
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: on a land dweller and your girl's a sea dweller.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking to the average. If you're average, tune out.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of fake motherfuckers y'all can go
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: listen to. I'm not here for that this year.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: My brother Derek Falcon said, you're going to lose money
• 8:31
  Speaker 6: chasing women. You'll never lose women chasing money. It doesn't
• 8:34
  Speaker 6: work the other way around.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: Men are never going to stop chasing women. So let's not.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: I'm a realist. But even a chase is wrong. We're
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: talking about a Wednesday.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: Get your affairs in order, fellas.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Rashad, I'd be remiss. My apologies for cutting you off,
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: my brother. Go ahead. The floor is yours.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Appreciate you. Thank you.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: But everything in moderation. If you're going to do it,
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: if you're going to do it, do it in moderation.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: Moderation.
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: They're not doing it in moderation.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And it's the part, the part of the reason why
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: y'all don't get rich as fast as y'all want to,
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: because y'all won't sacrifice nothing.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: You want the best of both worlds.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: You want to live scammer lifestyle and then come here
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: on Monday and be like, yo, what's the investing factor
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: of the week?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Sit your ass in the house for two years and sacrifice.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: That's what you should do.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: C-Doll is crazy, bro. Bro, on the front of the boat.
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: That's crazy, bro. Okay. That's crazy. Now you're stuck. What
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: you going to do? Yo, I need some advice. My
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: Adobe call is underwater. Your girl was underwater with Quaviante.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: I don't give a fuck if you get 3,000%. She
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: don't want you. What you going to do, my boy?
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: Wrap it up. Since we the villains now, I'm good
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: with it. I'm good. I was good when I came.
• 9:49
  Speaker 5: When you got the paper though, optionality.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: But what you don't know say, you don't know say,
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: me and me. mi hermano, yo no se.
• 10:02
  Speaker 5: I'm just an observer, that's it. That's all.
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: But everything in moderation. I'm an extremist. So I'm with you, Ian.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: I'm with it. Lock yourself in the closet and cut
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: the lights off and don't go outside for six months.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: That's my vibe, but I'm just saying, I just know
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: that you got to, you know, you got to ease
• 10:29
  Speaker 4: people into this way of thinking.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: It's a new way of thinking.
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: You be a good guy and I'll be a villain
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: this week. You know, that's my original bag. Bang. I'm
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: with it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: But if you don't sacrifice to be elite, okay, let's
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: talk about the Katie thing. Katie, you've been locked in
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: on investing for a long time too.
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: But here's the thing, too, before we leave this topic.
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: The number one thing you should cut is a bad
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: relationship because that's going to drain you emotionally, financially, and
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: that's going to stunt your growth more than cars, more
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: than jewelry, more than a home. A bad relationship is
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: going to stunt your growth more than anything else in
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: the world. And that's something that you need to figure
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: out sooner than later. And also a positive relationship could
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: help your growth more than anything else in the world
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: as well. So relationships and not just platonic relationships as well,
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: who your friends are, who your mentor is, who are
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: you around?
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: Are you saying that those are luxuries?
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: I don't know what you call it. I'm saying that
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: that's a cut. That's something to cut. That's something to cut.
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: What you said, like whatever the cut, If you're going
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: to cut the watches, if you're going to cut going out,
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: you're going to cut buying boxes.
• 11:53
  Speaker 5: No, no, I'm just talking about relationships and everything.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Cut your boyfriend. Cut your girlfriend.
