    Default If you don’t spend your money it’s like not having it

    Unfortunately it’s like you can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can save money your whole life and not spend it. You might get rich that way but you lived a cheap life. The more money you make the more you have to lose.

    So I guess the only solution is to make more but only spend a certain amount. I feel like people that invest in businesses are doing it for the sake of playing a game. Are they more concerned with how well their business deals are doing or what they’re gonna do with the money they made from the business deals?

    Ultimately what is it that rich people need money for beyond basic needs? You have to have a passion. You can’t just spend to spend. Well you can.

    I have a 71 year old lady who is a multi-multimillionaire who works for me who lives like a pauper. We had to force her to get direct deposit because she never would cash her paychecks which caused the books to be screwed up at the end of every quarter. I am trying to get her to adopt me.

    Unless you’re dirt broke what you shouldn’t do is race to the bottom for the lowest prices. If people would have paid the extra buck or two to a small family owned business for their basic goods they would have kept more of the power instead of giving it away to big corporations who are in bed with the government.

    Money is a tool. A tool you can use to elevate yourself or more importantly your offspring by offering better and more opportunities to him or her than you did yourself.

    If you've spent your life laboring, going through difficult times... let your children see that. Let them understand that the money that have made is all for them to be better, to do better and to one day pay it forward to even their children.

    My step father was that way.. but the lesson he taught me , we don't need all the toys, bling bling and all 'what we call creature comforts' living within your means
    using businesses like stocks , bonds, banks , can get us ahead.
    I am not passing on anything to anyone. If I die before my wife , the estate stays put,, she can live in the house , and when she dies , the estate goes to charities.

    I mean you could just invest your money into assets which then become another stream of income for you. You do that enough and eventually, you create wealth which is when you can live off your passive income, which could also grow to become greater than your active income.

    Similarly, if you do spend your money, it's like not having it.
