Speaker 1: I's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's Up,
Speaker 1: Sis Tea? You're listening to The Daily Game, the compilation
Speaker 1: of motivational quotes I've collected over the years that I
Speaker 1: found inspiring and helped me through the game of life.
Speaker 2: Today's quote comes from P. T. Barnum.
Speaker 1: You might know him from the Barnum and Bailey circus.
Speaker 1: He was also an author, a businessman, and politician. PT said,
Speaker 1: money is a terrible master, but an excellent servant. Money
Speaker 1: is a terrible master, but an excellent servant. Now I've
Speaker 1: been broke, people say it's having money better than being broke, definitely,
Speaker 1: because money creates options.
Speaker 2: It creates options. That's what money allows you to do.
Speaker 1: Not only can you help other people, but it also
Speaker 1: creates options. Now, let me explain that to you. If
Speaker 1: you don't have any money, you can only get as
Speaker 1: far as you can walk. If you get a skateboard,
Speaker 1: you can get as far as you can ride on
Speaker 1: the skateboard.
Speaker 2: You get a little more money, you can.
Speaker 1: Get a bike. Your options you can move further. You
Speaker 1: get a little money, you can get a cab. An
Speaker 1: uber get a little more money, you get a car. Okay,
Speaker 1: you have more options. You continue. You get a little
Speaker 1: more money. You can get on a plane. Okay, now
Speaker 1: the plane gets canceled. You get a little more money.
Speaker 1: You can charter a plane. You get a little more money,
Speaker 1: you can own a plane. Your options continually go. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about health. You get sick, you have to stand
Speaker 1: in line at the clinic. You get a little more money.
Speaker 1: You can go to the hospital. You get a little
Speaker 1: more money. You can hire a specialist. You get a
Speaker 1: little more money. You're sicker, you can fly to God
Speaker 1: knows where, to the specialist. So there is nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with having money. It creates more options. You can help
Speaker 1: other people who are in dire need that you couldn't do.
Speaker 1: If I don't have any money, I can't help you.
Speaker 1: But now I can't help you. But money it can
Speaker 1: become your master. They have a thing where they say
Speaker 1: material things start to own. You get a house a
Speaker 1: little bit too expensive, Get all these cars, get all
Speaker 1: these notes, blou. Now you're working for your material things.
Speaker 1: You're not working because you want to work, or you're
Speaker 1: working to eat. You're working for material things, not just
Speaker 1: food and shelter. You're working for that Ferrari. You're working
Speaker 1: for these that boat you're working to keep that that
Speaker 1: now is your master, you know. And some people have
Speaker 1: so much money that all they want is more money,
Speaker 1: and now they're in some type of money drug addiction
Speaker 1: that they're just trying to get commas and this, that
Speaker 1: and the third and they become a slave to that
Speaker 1: where it's money they don't even need. That's a whole
Speaker 1: nother addiction. I understand both sides of this quote. Money
Speaker 1: is a terrible master if you're controlled by it and
Speaker 1: it has power over you, yes, but it is an
Speaker 1: excellent servant if you have it. It allows you so
Speaker 1: many things that you can do that you couldn't do
Speaker 1: without it. And I mean sometimes even me, I find
Speaker 1: myself by having a little money, I live differently. Some
Speaker 1: of my friends, if they want to fly to see me,
Speaker 1: they have to get their plane ticket two months in
Speaker 1: advance to get that budget ticket, where I can wait
Speaker 1: till the last minute. Now I'm going to pay a premium.
Speaker 1: But it created me an option that they don't have,
Speaker 1: and that might remove a little bit of stress out
Speaker 1: of my mind that they might be dealing with. It's interesting,
Speaker 1: you know, But I know one thing they say money
Speaker 1: is the root of all evil. No, lack of money
Speaker 1: is the root of all evil. Okay, motherfuckers that got
Speaker 1: trust funds ain't out here robbing liquor stores.
Speaker 2: Trust me.
Speaker 1: This has been another ice cold fact from me Iced team.
Speaker 1: Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your
Speaker 1: ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and stay knowing
Speaker 1: that you can make your money work for you.
