So I say, like, 250 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,640 Speaker 5: the majority people have what I call like a consumer 251 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 5: mindset spend spend spend. I try to teach and help 252 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,240 Speaker 5: people develop more of a minority investor mindset where it's 253 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 5: more of, Okay, how do I use my money as 254 00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 5: a tool to kind of help build my wealth and 255 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 5: start of making everybody around me rich? 256 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,280 Speaker 3: Now we love that. How did you get into teaching 257 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 3: financial education? 258 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:37,199 Speaker 5: Like? 259 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:37,440 Speaker 1: How? 260 00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,920 Speaker 2: Because I know you are an attorney by or by trade, 261 00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 2: and I love the fact that you're always like, you know, 262 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,880 Speaker 2: I'm an attorney, but I'm not your attorney. 263 00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 3: I'm like such an attorney thing to. 264 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 2: Say, like, don't suit me, so your grandma? But yeah, 265 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 2: so how are you still an actively practicing attorney? 266 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 3: But yeah, how did you make that transition? 267 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:56,480 Speaker 1: So? 268 00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 5: Uh no, I do not actively practice in that sense. 269 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 5: It was kind of so. I grew up in a 270 00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,960 Speaker 5: very traditional Indian household. When I was growing up, I 271 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 5: was told that I need to become a doctor. That 272 00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:08,959 Speaker 5: was kind of like the only thing that I was taught, 273 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 5: like from the day I was born. I was taught 274 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,199 Speaker 5: to study science and math so that way I can 275 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,400 Speaker 5: get into medical school and When I say that my 276 00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 5: parents were strict about me getting into medical school, I 277 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 5: mean they were very, very, very strict. Like when I 278 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 5: was in eighth grade, my parents got me a tutor, 279 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 5: not to help me with my English class that I 280 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 5: was struggling with, but to help me get into medical school. 281 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,079 Speaker 5: They got me an MCAT tutor, which is the thing 282 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 5: that people take to get into medical school when they're 283 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 5: finishing college. So my parents were very serious about me 284 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,320 Speaker 5: going into medicine. But I've always sort of had this 285 00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 5: like entrepreneurial mindset. When I was in high school, I 286 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 5: started working at weddings. I used to play this Indian 287 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,280 Speaker 5: drum called the Old and I would play this at 288 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 5: weddings and I got to know a lot of DJs. 289 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 5: And then my junior and senior year in high school, 290 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,840 Speaker 5: I started actually hosting teen parties for kids in my 291 00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,280 Speaker 5: high school. And this was kind of my first real 292 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 5: exposure to entrepreneurship. And I went to college thinking that 293 00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:09,600 Speaker 5: everybody goes to college to study, Like I thought, people 294 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,439 Speaker 5: would spend the Friday nights in the chemistry lab doing reactions. 295 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,880 Speaker 4: And doing things like this, and everybody was partying. 296 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 5: Now I don't. I never drink. I was never really 297 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 5: into partying. It was more just a business for me. 298 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,560 Speaker 5: But I needed something to do on Friday nights. So 299 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 5: I took my high school kind of teen party business 300 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,640 Speaker 5: into college and I started this college party business. And 301 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 5: that's when I really started developing this minority mindset because 302 00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 5: the majority of people were partying and blowing all their 303 00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 5: money at parties, and all of a sudden, now I 304 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 5: was making pretty decent money in college without a degree, 305 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 5: because I don't know that was possible. And that's when 306 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:46,720 Speaker 5: I started thinking, Wow, what happens when you think differently 307 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 5: than the majority of people. So I never grew up 308 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 5: learning about money. I never grew up learning about entrepreneurship. 309 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 5: I never grew up learning about business. I actually had 310 00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 5: to do all of this kind of like in secret, 311 00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 5: because I don't want my parents to know that I 312 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 5: was doing business right. I needed them to think that 313 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 5: I was going to become a doctor. And so now 314 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 5: I was starting to make money and I had money 315 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 5: in the bank for the first time, and so I 316 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 5: started reading books about investing, and that's when I started 317 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 5: learning more about real estate investing, in stock market investing, 318 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 5: and that's when I started learning all this stuff about 319 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 5: money that I had never been exposed to before. So 320 00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:23,200 Speaker 5: it was like this kind of like almost like mind 321 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,360 Speaker 5: shock because I don't even know this world of like 322 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 5: money management and investing in passive income even existed. 323 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: So are we we're not outing you to your parents 324 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,480 Speaker 1: right now? Or do they do they know who you are? 325 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 1: Just free? Did they know? Do they know about the 326 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: manumity mindset? 327 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:37,680 Speaker 4: They know? 328 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 1: No? 329 00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was how do they feel about it? Now? 330 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 4: They love it? You know.

I was 394 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 2: what I called financially perfect, right, so great credit score savings. 395 00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:20,320 Speaker 2: But I honestly, my father was a cfo in an 396 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 2: accountant of a small nonprofit, so I grew up with 397 00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:24,920 Speaker 2: financial education, so I was just doing what he told 398 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,120 Speaker 2: me to do. I was not I didn't have any 399 00:18:27,119 --> 00:18:28,600 Speaker 2: real knowledge.

It 417 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 2: was everything that could go wrong went wrong. But as 418 00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 2: I was fixing myself, I realized that there were other 419 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,320 Speaker 2: people that were struggling too. So the teacher in me 420 00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,080 Speaker 2: was like, well, Tiffany, you teach why not just help 421 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,080 Speaker 2: your friends? And then they brought their friends and they 422 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,439 Speaker 2: brought their friends. So that was like the advent of 423 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:29,800 Speaker 2: the budgetista my business. And Mandy said, you experienced like 424 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,719 Speaker 2: a scam that kind of triggered your journey to financial education. 425 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 5: Yeah, well, well, first off, that sucks.

Instead of complaining about it, 429 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 5: doing something about this, So props to you. That's that 430 00:19:48,600 --> 00:19:51,640 Speaker 5: was amazing for me. It was actually very similar. I've 431 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:55,160 Speaker 5: always been that entrepreneur person too, and kind of didn't 432 00:19:55,160 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 5: really have much guidance, never really had someone to talk 433 00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 5: to about entrepreneurship or money management or investing. And I 434 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:03,679 Speaker 5: had this sock business that I started and I was 435 00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:07,520 Speaker 5: getting ready to launch it, and this marketing company came 436 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,080 Speaker 5: up to me.

Podcasting. 501 00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,919 Speaker 5: I don't even know what a podcast was, so I 502 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,240 Speaker 5: was like, yeah, I can't do that, but I do 503 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,240 Speaker 5: like YouTube, and I see a lot of people on YouTube. 504 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,400 Speaker 5: I like watching YouTube. Maybe I can make YouTube videos. 505 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 5: I know how to talk, so I started making videos 506 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 5: under the title Minority Mindset, where I just talked about 507 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 5: things that I wish I knew when I was younger. 508 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:16,360 Speaker 5: So I talked about money management, talked about entrepreneurship, and 509 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 5: slowly this started to grow, and you know, a year 510 00:23:20,080 --> 00:23:21,680 Speaker 5: and a half or so, a couple of years later, 511 00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:26,439 Speaker 5: we had grown to over one hundred thousand subscribers, and 512 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,800 Speaker 5: now all of a sudden, we were building a brand. 513 00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 5: And I don't even know that that's what I was doing. 514 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,640 Speaker 5: I was just this is something that I was doing 515 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,440 Speaker 5: as a hobby, just because I was so kind of 516 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:38,440 Speaker 5: hurt by the scam, and now this is what I do. 517 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 3: That's yeah. 518 00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:42,800 Speaker 1: At the time, I mean, how were you what was 519 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: your source of income then? And then when did you realize, Okay, 520 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,880 Speaker 1: I can really sustain myself with the minority mindset. 521 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,080 Speaker 5: So when I started a minority mindset, when I was 522 00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 5: in law school. Actually, so I was in law school, 523 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 5: I was doing the soccer business, and I was doing 524 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 5: a lot of stuff in real estate, so I was 525 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,000 Speaker 5: a real estate investor. I used to do real estate 526 00:23:58,040 --> 00:23:59,959 Speaker 5: whole stale, I think, and I was a real estate salesperson. 527 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:01,679 Speaker 5: So I was kind of doing a whole bunch of 528 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,560 Speaker 5: things at once. And the kind of fork I ran 529 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 5: into was right around the one hundred thousand subscriber mark. 530 00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:12,600 Speaker 5: With minority mindset, we weren't making a lot of money, 531 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 5: but it was. It was kind of a weird situation 532 00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 5: because the SoC business I had was making decent money. 533 00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 5: It was making a we were we were, you know, 534 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 5: a solid business. But the problem was it was a 535 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 5: special kind of athletic sock that I had created, but 536 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,200 Speaker 5: our patent was denied. So I had to kind of decide, Okay, 537 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 5: do I want to go the route of building a 538 00:24:33,080 --> 00:24:36,600 Speaker 5: sock brand where you know, I love starting a business, 539 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:38,720 Speaker 5: but I'm not so passionate about socks. I really wanted 540 00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,840 Speaker 5: to license the technology, but that wasn't really going to 541 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 5: work because we didn't get approved for this patent. But 542 00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:47,240 Speaker 5: minority mindset I had a real passion for. Like I 543 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 5: loved teaching, I love money management, I loved talking about 544 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 5: entrepreneurship and financial education. This is like something I really 545 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 5: really enjoy doing because this is something I wish I 546 00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:57,440 Speaker 5: knew when I was growing up, but we weren't making 547 00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 5: that much money. So I just I had to go 548 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 5: all in with the minority mindset just because you know, 549 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:04,880 Speaker 5: I was like, this is something that I would love 550 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 5: to do for the rest of my life. I don't 551 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 5: really know what I was going to do with it, 552 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,080 Speaker 5: but that's the direction that I went. So, you know, 553 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,919 Speaker 5: I had luckily, I had real estate investments. I was 554 00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 5: doing real estate and and the SoC business was making 555 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 5: money at the time. So then I kind of transferred 556 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 5: over to minority mindset, not knowing what was going to happen. 557 00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:21,679 Speaker 5: But I was also in law school, so I had 558 00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 5: very little expenses when I was starting off. And then 559 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,680 Speaker 5: it grew from there and now we are. We kind 560 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,000 Speaker 5: of transformed into a financial media company where we do 561 00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:34,879 Speaker 5: financial news and financial education, and yeah, so that's how 562 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,680 Speaker 5: it kind of grew. 563 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: I would so I can't get the socks. It's what you're. 564 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:41,160 Speaker 4: Saying yeah, we stopped selling the socks. 565 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 2: Well, I'm curious as a business owner, I'm curious, like 566 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 2: what are yours for the minority mindset, Like what are 567 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,199 Speaker 2: your streams of income? Like we're and then of the 568 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 2: of your streams of income, what's bringing in the most. 569 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, we get real personal here. We shoulder and stuff. 570 00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,720 Speaker 5: Absolutely so, so most of our income, I would eighty 571 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 5: percent of our income comes from other brands and sponsors 572 00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,560 Speaker 5: and advertisers. So what I mean by that is, so 573 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 5: we have kind of a few different channels. We could 574 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 5: say kind of two phases to our company. We have 575 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 5: a financial news division and a financial education division. 576 00:26:16,920 --> 00:26:19,960 Speaker 4: The news division is our daily financial. 577 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,200 Speaker 5: News that are where we just kind of come over 578 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: what's going on in the financial news. The education side 579 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 5: is a mix of our website and then social media 580 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:29,280 Speaker 5: and YouTube. 581 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,359 Speaker 4: So eighty percent. 582 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 5: Of our revenue comes from our brand partners and sponsors. 583 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 4: So these are companies that we work with. 584 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,840 Speaker 5: So we do a lot of education of how to 585 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 5: use your money and also financial products. So we talk 586 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 5: about things like mortgage refinancing, or we talk about stock brokerages, 587 00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 5: or we talk about life insurance, or we talk about 588 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 5: credit cards. So we have partnerships with companies in all 589 00:26:55,280 --> 00:27:00,880 Speaker 5: of these kind of services, and that's how we drive 590 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 5: revenue from there. 591 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 4: Then on the education side. 592 00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 5: We do have a couple of courses that we sell 593 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,600 Speaker 5: as well, but though that's kind of like something that's 594 00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 5: in the back burner, not really the back burner, but 595 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 5: that's that's like a smaller part of our business. 596 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 4: That's about twenty percent of our revenue. 597 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: Okay, I feel like you and Tefany need to talk, yeah, 598 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 1: because it's literally the Literature Academy is a major, and 599 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: I feel like we need a minority mindset. 600 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 2: It's the opposite for me, like our educational I have 601 00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 2: an online school that makes eighty percent of the income, 602 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 2: and then my partnerships and affiliate marketing and things like 603 00:27:31,359 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 2: that that's about twenty percent.

I have no idea what he's talking about. 667 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: Well, you do such a great job, I mean talk, 668 00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, just it's a real talent to be able 669 00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: to explain concepts without writing, like without taking time to 670 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: think them through. I'm not that I'm saying your stuff 671 00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 1: isn't thought through, but you know what I mean, like 672 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,200 Speaker 1: to be able to vocalize these topics and make them truly, 673 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,600 Speaker 1: you know, accessible to people, because, like you said, a 674 00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand this. You have to approach it, 675 00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 1: you know, from from the from the ground floor. 676 00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 5: Yeah. 677 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: But let's we talked a little bit about passive income. 678 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 1: You know, you have your real estate business. A lot 679 00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 1: of people right now, this is this is tied together, 680 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,040 Speaker 1: I promise. I want to first talk about your favorite 681 00:31:03,120 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: passive income strategies and then kind of talk about how 682 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 1: people are kind of using the stock market to create 683 00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 1: some passive income, which may or may not be the 684 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:13,239 Speaker 1: best you know, idea for the majority of people. If 685 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:15,160 Speaker 1: you can go back to that, you know, my minority 686 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:19,840 Speaker 1: majority contradiction. But yeah, talk about passive income streams, what 687 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: you sort of have, what has worked for you, and 688 00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: what you you know, think could work for others, and 689 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,080 Speaker 1: then you know how how you would talk to folks 690 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 1: thinking about getting into the market these days. 691 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 5: So, you know, I think the first thing is kind 692 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 5: of defining what passive income is, because I think a 693 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 5: lot of people have a misconception as to passive income, Like, 694 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 5: for example, there's a lot of ads out there like, 695 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 5: oh start this online store is completely passive, even though 696 00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 5: you have to manage it for five hours every single day. 697 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:48,240 Speaker 5: So I don't consider that passive income. When I think 698 00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,520 Speaker 5: of passive income, I think of my real estate investments 699 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 5: where I own a house or an apartment complex, I 700 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,240 Speaker 5: do the renovation, I get it fully rent ready, and 701 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,479 Speaker 5: then I hand over the keys to my property management company, 702 00:32:02,120 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 5: and after that I let them take care of the 703 00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:08,880 Speaker 5: entire property, all tenant management, all tenant relations, everything agency. 704 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,480 Speaker 5: And then I just kind of every month I look 705 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:14,959 Speaker 5: at our statements. So I look at you know, how 706 00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,680 Speaker 5: much rent do we receive, what was the maintenance requests 707 00:32:17,800 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 5: and everything kind of in between. That's what I call 708 00:32:19,880 --> 00:32:22,800 Speaker 5: passive income. So for me, my favorite is real estate. 709 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 5: I love real estate investing. That is kind of like 710 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,480 Speaker 5: my number one favorite place to invest. But you know, 711 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 5: real estate investing is not for everybody. You need to 712 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:38,000 Speaker 5: understand how real estate investing works. It takes a learning 713 00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:41,680 Speaker 5: curve and not everybody wants to go through that. You know, 714 00:32:42,080 --> 00:32:44,320 Speaker 5: you have to kind of go through your bad tenants. 715 00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 5: You have to go through the bad properties. You know, 716 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,479 Speaker 5: I went through that myself, and it sucks. It's painful, 717 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:50,640 Speaker 5: it's not fun to lose money. And with real estate 718 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,880 Speaker 5: there's there's more capital involved. It's a lot harder to 719 00:32:52,920 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 5: start real estate investing, especially owning physical real estate with 720 00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 5: one hundred dollars or a thousand dollars. You know, you 721 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,120 Speaker 5: need more capital and more time to get to that 722 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:03,160 Speaker 5: passive income point. So you need to spend that time 723 00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 5: at the beginning to get through real passive income. Now, 724 00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 5: if we're talking about a more passive passive income where 725 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:12,480 Speaker 5: you don't really have to do much work at all, 726 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 5: then the stock market does have a lot of opportunities 727 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,600 Speaker 5: there through dividends and dividend paying stocks, but you have 728 00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 5: to be kind of aware of what type of returns 729 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:27,520 Speaker 5: you can expect because I think sometimes people think, oh, okay, 730 00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 5: if I invest one thousand dollars, I should be making 731 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:32,920 Speaker 5: one thousand dollars a year in a passive income. But 732 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:34,760 Speaker 5: it doesn't really work like that, right, Like, if you 733 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,200 Speaker 5: invest in the stock market, you should be expecting three 734 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 5: to five percent a year on your capital investment. So 735 00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,880 Speaker 5: that's you know, if you invest one hundred dollars at 736 00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,960 Speaker 5: three to five dollars a year for your investment through 737 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 5: your dividends, and there's a lot of easy ways to 738 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,600 Speaker 5: do that. You can completely automate this. So you just 739 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 5: take whatever funds you have and every month or every 740 00:33:57,280 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 5: week it automatically gets invested into you whatever stocks or 741 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:03,880 Speaker 5: ETFs or funds you want. 742 00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,440 Speaker 4: And then when. 743 00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:08,320 Speaker 5: You get the dividends, it is your choice now whether 744 00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 5: you want to reinvest them back into the stocks or 745 00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 5: ETFs that way you kind of compounding your investments, or 746 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:15,880 Speaker 5: do you want to pull it out and keep this 747 00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,719 Speaker 5: money for yourself and you know, use it to improve 748 00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,440 Speaker 5: your lifestyle. The thing about passive income, especially in the 749 00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:24,520 Speaker 5: stock market like this, is it is a long term game. 750 00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,359 Speaker 5: If you're getting three to five percent a year, you 751 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,320 Speaker 5: need to compound that money. You need to keep adding 752 00:34:29,320 --> 00:34:34,080 Speaker 5: that money into your stocks and ETFs because what happens 753 00:34:34,360 --> 00:34:37,719 Speaker 5: is in a good market, stock prices will go up, 754 00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,359 Speaker 5: so you know your your stock value, your investment value, 755 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,399 Speaker 5: is going up. But at the same time, companies, if 756 00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,160 Speaker 5: they're growing, they're going to increase the amount of dividend 757 00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,160 Speaker 5: that they're paying. So right now you might only be 758 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 5: getting a three percent dividend on your money, but in 759 00:34:51,640 --> 00:34:54,920 Speaker 5: five or ten years, they might double themount of dividend 760 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,719 Speaker 5: that they're paying out. So what went from a three 761 00:34:56,719 --> 00:35:00,040 Speaker 5: percent dividend is now a six percent dividend. So it 762 00:35:00,080 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 5: really starts to grow in compound. And if you keep 763 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 5: reinvesting that money, the amount of money you'd be making 764 00:35:04,160 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 5: through this passive income and dividends keeps growing slowly, slowly, slowly. 765 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,560 Speaker 5: So it's like kind of like the snowball that a 766 00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:11,720 Speaker 5: lot of people talk about. You're you got to build 767 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:13,759 Speaker 5: a snowball in at the beginning, it's really slow, it's 768 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,960 Speaker 5: really hard, But as you keep going and as you 769 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:17,280 Speaker 5: stick with it, it will get bigger. 770 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,240 Speaker 1: Can you explain for folks who may have just blanked 771 00:35:20,239 --> 00:35:22,239 Speaker 1: out when you said the word dividend because they may 772 00:35:22,280 --> 00:35:23,799 Speaker 1: not even know what a dividend is. I mean, it's 773 00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,600 Speaker 1: just it's a piece of the profits that a company 774 00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,319 Speaker 1: will give you for investing in their stock. Right, how 775 00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:29,200 Speaker 1: would you break it down? 776 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:29,640 Speaker 4: Yeah? 777 00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,480 Speaker 5: So I the the way I like to explain dividends 778 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,000 Speaker 5: is think about like a thank you check from companies. 779 00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:38,320 Speaker 5: So some companies, let's talk about McDonald's. Some companies like 780 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,680 Speaker 5: McDonald's make a lot of money, and at the end 781 00:35:40,719 --> 00:35:42,640 Speaker 5: of the year, they have a whole bunch of cash 782 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,960 Speaker 5: in their bank account. And there's three things that a 783 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,439 Speaker 5: company can do with it's extra cash. They can save 784 00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,439 Speaker 5: it for emergencies. They can reinvest this money back into 785 00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:54,480 Speaker 5: their company. Or they can give this away literally give 786 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,360 Speaker 5: it away to their owners and shareholders, investors people like 787 00:35:57,400 --> 00:35:59,840 Speaker 5: you and me for owning their stock. So if you 788 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 5: and you buy a share of McDonald's, McDonald's will literally 789 00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:05,240 Speaker 5: send you a check. They'll send you a few dollars 790 00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:08,319 Speaker 5: every single year just because you owned the McDonald's stock. 791 00:36:08,440 --> 00:36:10,520 Speaker 5: You don't have to go on flip burgers or do anything. 792 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,000 Speaker 5: You're getting this cash just for owning that investment. 793 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 2: I love that explanation. I just saw that in one 794 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:17,920 Speaker 2: of your videos that you explained that was like he's 795 00:36:17,960 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: doing the video. 796 00:36:18,680 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 3: I feel like I'm watching your YouTube video. 797 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same time safe. 798 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean this past week has been I don't know, 799 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:28,840 Speaker 1: this past summer. I mean, I just feel like everyone 800 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 1: at home through this COVID crisis is bizarre time they 801 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,959 Speaker 1: were at in our country right now, and it's good 802 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:35,960 Speaker 1: for people like us who are in the business of 803 00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 1: teaching financial education, because folks are really hungry for right now. 804 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,600 Speaker 1: But I'm worried because, like my friends and family who 805 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 1: really haven't been into financial anything until you know, COVID 806 00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:47,719 Speaker 1: kind of hit and they have all this free time. 807 00:36:48,000 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: People are coming to me, like should I invest in herds? 808 00:36:50,600 --> 00:36:52,919 Speaker 1: What do you think about the Tesla stock split? I mean, 809 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,919 Speaker 1: last week my husband puts listen, Okay, like I said, 810 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 1: I like to I have some money that I play 811 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,320 Speaker 1: around with that I'm not afraid to lose. I just 812 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:02,239 Speaker 1: have a little bit set aside so I can I 813 00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,719 Speaker 1: can just prove to myself, honestly, what a terrible stockpicker 814 00:37:04,719 --> 00:37:06,319 Speaker 1: I am, which is what it's been like for the 815 00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,480 Speaker 1: past five to ten years. I've been doing it. But anyway, 816 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,000 Speaker 1: so my husband's got a little bit of money and 817 00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,040 Speaker 1: you know that he could invest and he chose to 818 00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:15,440 Speaker 1: invest in some TESL stock last week after the stock split, 819 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:17,760 Speaker 1: and of course he bought when it was really high, 820 00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,280 Speaker 1: and by the end of the week it had tanked 821 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,120 Speaker 1: and he's like, what's going on? You need to sell 822 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:24,080 Speaker 1: my Tesla stock. And I feel like he's not alone. 823 00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:27,359 Speaker 1: So what's your take on where people's mindset is at 824 00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:29,719 Speaker 1: with you know, stock market investing these days, And what 825 00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:31,600 Speaker 1: would you say to people who were trying to get 826 00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 1: into the market now as like a word of caution. 827 00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 5: So I just recorded a video on this. It's going 828 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:40,520 Speaker 5: to go up very soon. But stock or market predicting 829 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 5: is for losers. Nobody can predict what's going to happen 830 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 5: in the stock market tomorrow or three months or you know, 831 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,279 Speaker 5: in this short term. It is impossible because there's so 832 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,160 Speaker 5: many things that can happen that influence the stock market, 833 00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,359 Speaker 5: especially in the short term. You know, we could see 834 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:56,600 Speaker 5: something happened to the president, we could see something happened 835 00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,239 Speaker 5: with this coronavirus. We can see the fed change to 836 00:37:59,320 --> 00:38:02,160 Speaker 5: monetary poul See, there are so many factors that influence 837 00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 5: the stock market in the short term that creates this 838 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:09,040 Speaker 5: like emotionalness in the stock market, and that's what creates 839 00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:14,280 Speaker 5: creates like this panic selling and euphoria buying. And as 840 00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,960 Speaker 5: a smart financial planner and a smart money manager and investor, 841 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:21,120 Speaker 5: that is exactly what you want to avoid. You want 842 00:38:21,160 --> 00:38:23,640 Speaker 5: to be investing for the long term. So I'm a 843 00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,760 Speaker 5: big proponent of long term investing, looking at companies who 844 00:38:29,719 --> 00:38:33,160 Speaker 5: are growing, who are innovating, and have a good value, 845 00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:35,799 Speaker 5: and buying into these companies for the long term. If 846 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,919 Speaker 5: that is what you're doing, the stock price doesn't even 847 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 5: matter that much. You just want to continually buy it, 848 00:38:41,600 --> 00:38:43,840 Speaker 5: whether it's every week or every month, or you know, 849 00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 5: whatever your schedule is. You just want to keep buying 850 00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 5: these stocks or funds that you want to own for 851 00:38:49,040 --> 00:38:49,800 Speaker 5: the long term. 852 00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,360 Speaker 3: For the majority dollar cost averaging. 853 00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:54,080 Speaker 2: No, I was just going to say, so that's I know, 854 00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,280 Speaker 2: that's your big philosophy dollar cost averaging. 855 00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, and if it comes down, if it crashes, buy more. 856 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,319 Speaker 5: It's like one of those things that if it's a 857 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:05,680 Speaker 5: company you really believe in, buy it, and if it crashes, 858 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 5: use it as. 859 00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 4: An opportunity to buy more. 860 00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,920 Speaker 5: And I think for the majority of people, stock picking 861 00:39:11,040 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 5: is not even the game that you want to be 862 00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:13,839 Speaker 5: playing for the majority of people. 863 00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:15,920 Speaker 4: If you don't not plan to. 864 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:18,960 Speaker 5: Spend a lot of time studying companies, listening to earning statements. 865 00:39:19,120 --> 00:39:21,319 Speaker 5: If that is not what you're interested in, look into 866 00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,480 Speaker 5: index funds, look into the ETFs and index fund or ETFs. 867 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 5: You could think of it kind of like a group 868 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,719 Speaker 5: of stocks of fund that invests in a bunch of companies. 869 00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 5: So if you just want to be involved in the 870 00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:35,719 Speaker 5: stock market, there are funds that literally give you exposure 871 00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:38,280 Speaker 5: to the top five hundred companies in the stock market. 872 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 5: So now instead of if you're trying to go out 873 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,920 Speaker 5: and find the number one company, you can just invest 874 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,280 Speaker 5: in this fund that gives your exposure to the general 875 00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,560 Speaker 5: stock market. So now, if the stock market goes up, 876 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:49,080 Speaker 5: your fund goes up. The stock market goes down, your 877 00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 5: fund goes down. But what we've seen again and again 878 00:39:51,719 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 5: and again is that over the long run, the stock 879 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,799 Speaker 5: market and strong companies go up. And if you're not 880 00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,839 Speaker 5: interested in doing all that research and trying to find 881 00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:59,920 Speaker 5: the best companies just invest in one of these fun 882 00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 5: because now it's doing it for you. 883 00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:07,360 Speaker 1: So so what you're saying is I'm right, and YE 884 00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,120 Speaker 1: want to confirm that because I. 885 00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 3: Want to play in that SI. 886 00:40:11,960 --> 00:40:14,320 Speaker 2: So my question is, so where do you go for 887 00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 2: financial education? You know the financial educator? It's like what 888 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,680 Speaker 2: does the doctor go when they're sick? So where do 889 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,480 Speaker 2: you go to learn when you're when you're learning when 890 00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,719 Speaker 2: new things come out or something you don't understand? Like 891 00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 2: what are what are your go to platforms? 892 00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,839 Speaker 5: There's a lot of great resources on the internet, like 893 00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:32,640 Speaker 5: one of my go to sites if you're talking about 894 00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:36,760 Speaker 5: the stock market, particularly like seeking Alpha is great, uh 895 00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:42,799 Speaker 5: Financed Yahoo, just to like I love reading books and 896 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,520 Speaker 5: I love kind of just learning about companies. Like right 897 00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 5: now I'm reading one of Warren Buffet's biographies. It's very 898 00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 5: interesting just to kind of not necessarily just stock books, 899 00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 5: but learning kind of the way some of these great 900 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:57,920 Speaker 5: investors think and just learning from them and then really 901 00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,239 Speaker 5: just studying a company. You know, there's every three months 902 00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,279 Speaker 5: a company has to release a statement where they go 903 00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:06,439 Speaker 5: over how much money they're making with the plan on doing, 904 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,279 Speaker 5: what their valuations? You know, what are they doing with 905 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 5: their money? Where's all the cash going? And a lot 906 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:15,680 Speaker 5: of times, most of the times we skip over that 907 00:41:15,719 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 5: because we read the headlines, Oh, Tesla made a lot 908 00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,560 Speaker 5: of money or Tesla loss money. Right, that's all we see. 909 00:41:21,719 --> 00:41:23,680 Speaker 5: But if you go into the actual earning statements and 910 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 5: you read the transcript and you read the forms that 911 00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,120 Speaker 5: these companies file, which you can do, they're more boring, 912 00:41:30,480 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 5: but you can actually see what is going on with 913 00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:36,320 Speaker 5: the company and what is their real revenue, what is 914 00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:38,960 Speaker 5: their real income, what is their real loss, And then 915 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,080 Speaker 5: you can come up with your own calculations to see, Okay, 916 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:44,240 Speaker 5: this company is making a hundred million dollars actually based 917 00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:46,440 Speaker 5: off of what I see, and they're being valued at 918 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:47,680 Speaker 5: ten billion dollars. 919 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:50,080 Speaker 4: Is this a good investment? Yes or no? 920 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:52,200 Speaker 5: And so it's kind of coming up with what do 921 00:41:52,280 --> 00:41:54,640 Speaker 5: you think is a good value and what is it 922 00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 5: that you want to invest in? 923 00:41:56,480 --> 00:42:00,720 Speaker 1: Over time, as you've developed your financial philosophy. The minority 924 00:42:00,760 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 1: mindset as you say, I mean, you acknowledged that you 925 00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,200 Speaker 1: didn't have a ton of education, and Tiffany's maybe in 926 00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,560 Speaker 1: the minority because she had such a great financial coach 927 00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,480 Speaker 1: in her dad. But even so, the Great Recession for 928 00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: Tiff and I both kind of had a We were 929 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,719 Speaker 1: both like in our own ways, a little afraid of 930 00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: going through what we went through our personal financial losses 931 00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:22,640 Speaker 1: after the recession, And so I think safe to say 932 00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:24,880 Speaker 1: Tif that we both held on to some cash. Yeah 933 00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,520 Speaker 1: maybe beyond like yeah, maybe beyond like the six month mark. 934 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,839 Speaker 1: And I wanted to talk to you, like, what's your 935 00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,080 Speaker 1: Have you had to overcome any mindsets that were maybe 936 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:37,800 Speaker 1: hurting you financially where you maybe a little conservative in 937 00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:39,480 Speaker 1: the beginning, or have you always kind of you know, 938 00:42:39,960 --> 00:42:43,680 Speaker 1: just learned and approached investing differently, Because for a lot 939 00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:46,360 Speaker 1: of people, especially now, the majority will look at the 940 00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:48,799 Speaker 1: stock market what happened back in the spring, you know, 941 00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:50,759 Speaker 1: March and April and be like, oh shit, like get 942 00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,800 Speaker 1: me out of here, this is crazy.

So they're 951 00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,359 Speaker 5: saving like seventy eighty percent of their income and they 952 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,880 Speaker 5: have three four five years worth of expenses saved in 953 00:43:16,920 --> 00:43:19,600 Speaker 5: their bank account just sitting there.

But what I try to tell people is, 962 00:43:38,680 --> 00:43:40,879 Speaker 5: you know, you can do a lot better and take 963 00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:44,640 Speaker 5: low risks if you you know, you once you learn 964 00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:46,680 Speaker 5: about how investing works, you can kind of get a 965 00:43:46,719 --> 00:43:48,440 Speaker 5: better feel of it. So I used to have a 966 00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:50,360 Speaker 5: lot of money in the market, and I made a 967 00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,880 Speaker 5: video on this earlier this year, like back in it 968 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,400 Speaker 5: was actually in February, where I talked about how I 969 00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,120 Speaker 5: was selling a lot of stuff just because sometimes, you know. 970 00:43:59,160 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 4: Things do feel like a low, little overheated. 971 00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:04,279 Speaker 5: Now this is completely lucky, Like you know, I talked 972 00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 5: about this, This was like one hundred percent luck. I 973 00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:08,719 Speaker 5: did not predict a crash or did not predict a pandemic. 974 00:44:08,719 --> 00:44:11,640 Speaker 5: This was like completely luck. In February, I was like, 975 00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 5: you know, I've made a lot of money over the 976 00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 5: last few years in the stock market, so I'm selling 977 00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,239 Speaker 5: right now because a lot of things are really high, 978 00:44:18,280 --> 00:44:20,520 Speaker 5: evaluations are really high, and it's just a good time 979 00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:21,680 Speaker 5: to take some money off the table. 980 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:22,360 Speaker 4: And that's okay. 981 00:44:22,920 --> 00:44:24,440 Speaker 5: You know what I tell people, when it comes to 982 00:44:24,480 --> 00:44:27,480 Speaker 5: saving and investing, your investment money doesn't always have to 983 00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:30,960 Speaker 5: be invested, Like cash is an investment position as well. 984 00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:33,759 Speaker 5: It's just knowing that this is money that you want 985 00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,359 Speaker 5: to invest that you're you know, looking for an opportunity. 986 00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:39,200 Speaker 5: I like real estate. I haven't bought real estate in 987 00:44:39,239 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 5: a while because I'm waiting for an opportunity. 988 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,480 Speaker 4: So I have cash that I'm waiting to invest, and 989 00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:43,839 Speaker 4: you know. 990 00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 5: It goes beyond my saving goals, but it's it's my 991 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:49,000 Speaker 5: investment money that I'm waiting to invest. 992 00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:53,040 Speaker 4: So that's kind of like what I've developed over the years. 993 00:44:53,040 --> 00:44:54,640 Speaker 5: And I think I used to be a lot riskier 994 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 5: when I was younger, when I was first getting started, 995 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,560 Speaker 5: because at that point, I was like, Wow, what do 996 00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,319 Speaker 5: I have to lose? So I'm just going all in 997 00:45:02,760 --> 00:45:04,880 Speaker 5: everywhere I can, because for me, it was just like, 998 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:06,600 Speaker 5: you know what, this is my time to learn, this 999 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:08,960 Speaker 5: is my time to go all in with everything. Now, 1000 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:11,560 Speaker 5: you know, I'm still willing to take risk, but I'm 1001 00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:15,279 Speaker 5: definitely a little bit more conservative and I do a 1002 00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:17,239 Speaker 5: lot more research now than I used to before. I 1003 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:20,480 Speaker 5: was more of a doer before thinking at all. Now 1004 00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:22,319 Speaker 5: I'm still a doer, but I do spend a little 1005 00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:25,640 Speaker 5: bit more time thinking before I trying to make those moves. 1006 00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:28,600 Speaker 1: So you cleaned out your investments in February, lucky, and 1007 00:45:29,320 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: then what did you get back in once things started 1008 00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:33,879 Speaker 1: to go like what what did Yeah? What what did 1009 00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,279 Speaker 1: you do? Because I think there were folks who were 1010 00:45:36,320 --> 00:45:38,520 Speaker 1: it's that financial double dutch again, which is I don't 1011 00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:40,680 Speaker 1: know if you're familiar with double dutch. It's kind of fun. 1012 00:45:43,560 --> 00:45:45,360 Speaker 3: I know double Dutch. I don't know if you even watched. 1013 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,520 Speaker 2: Like when girls jump into the road, they do this 1014 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,960 Speaker 2: like bobbing back and forth, trying to figure out the 1015 00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,239 Speaker 2: perfect time to jump into you. You're literally rocking back 1016 00:45:52,280 --> 00:45:54,000 Speaker 2: and forth. So it's like, yeah, so it's a good 1017 00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,440 Speaker 2: analogy to getting into the market. 1018 00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:57,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, I did. 1019 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,360 Speaker 5: I talked about this on YouTube that I do this 1020 00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:03,680 Speaker 5: kind of like drip investing, where I buy in phases. Now, 1021 00:46:03,680 --> 00:46:06,600 Speaker 5: I'm not the greatest stock market investor out there. One 1022 00:46:06,640 --> 00:46:09,279 Speaker 5: of our partners AKA, who does a lot of our 1023 00:46:09,320 --> 00:46:12,200 Speaker 5: stock market teaching, he is like, he taught me a 1024 00:46:12,239 --> 00:46:14,080 Speaker 5: lot about the stock market. I learned a lot from him. 1025 00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,080 Speaker 5: But I do what I call drip investing. So when 1026 00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:20,279 Speaker 5: the stock market falls, that's when I come in and buy, 1027 00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:22,880 Speaker 5: and I buy in phases. So every time it falls 1028 00:46:22,880 --> 00:46:25,200 Speaker 5: ten to fifteen percent, I buy. If it falls more, 1029 00:46:25,239 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 5: I buy more, and so I kind of just buy 1030 00:46:27,400 --> 00:46:29,719 Speaker 5: those phases. So when it was falling, I was just 1031 00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:32,680 Speaker 5: buying the whole way down, and then I did sell 1032 00:46:32,680 --> 00:46:34,759 Speaker 5: a little bit a few months later because the stock 1033 00:46:34,800 --> 00:46:37,960 Speaker 5: market recovered so fast that it was like, this is 1034 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:41,600 Speaker 5: kind of crazy, how fast the stock market is recovering. So, 1035 00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,480 Speaker 5: you know, that's kind of what I've been doing with 1036 00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,719 Speaker 5: in terms of the stock market. I still haven't really 1037 00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,160 Speaker 5: bought much real estate or at all. I'm just trying 1038 00:46:49,200 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 5: to figure out what's going on in the real estate market. 1039 00:46:51,239 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 1: Where are you buying real estate? I don't even know 1040 00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,879 Speaker 1: where you're based. I'm in Michigan, Michigan Okay, so that's 1041 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:58,040 Speaker 1: and do you have are you investing in real estate 1042 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:00,200 Speaker 1: close by so you kind of know the area? 1043 00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:02,800 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, a lot of it is in the state. 1044 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,560 Speaker 5: So just trying to wait on opportunities.

I love finding distressed real estate, 1046 00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:15,480 Speaker 5: whether it's financially distressed or physically distressed, but just waiting 1047 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:16,480 Speaker 5: on a deal. 1048 00:47:17,080 --> 00:47:20,080 Speaker 1: That's to a fixer rupper basically, yeah, I love fixer rubbers. 1049 00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:22,640 Speaker 2: I'm working on my first fixture upper right now, so 1050 00:47:22,640 --> 00:47:23,600 Speaker 2: I'm excited to see. 1051 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,279 Speaker 4: Like what, Oh, that's awesome, muse. 1052 00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,560 Speaker 2: I was like, you know what, I feel like my 1053 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,480 Speaker 2: first kind of jount into investing was really investing by 1054 00:47:30,520 --> 00:47:33,799 Speaker 2: growing up business because I was scared of investing traditionally 1055 00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,239 Speaker 2: since I had that scam. And then I got my 1056 00:47:36,440 --> 00:47:39,680 Speaker 2: financial planner and she really helped to like pry open 1057 00:47:39,760 --> 00:47:41,120 Speaker 2: my cold dead hands. 1058 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:41,600 Speaker 3: Around my money. 1059 00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:45,920 Speaker 2: So because I had enough, I had so much save 1060 00:47:46,080 --> 00:47:48,360 Speaker 2: that the house I'm living in now, I paid for 1061 00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:51,279 Speaker 2: it in cash and renovated in cash, and paid off 1062 00:47:51,320 --> 00:47:53,160 Speaker 2: my parents' house in cash, and paid off my student 1063 00:47:53,280 --> 00:47:56,000 Speaker 2: loans in cash.

But then so the real estate property 1067 00:48:06,239 --> 00:48:10,320 Speaker 2: that I bought, it's a tax deed from the city 1068 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:12,239 Speaker 2: where I live in New Jersey, and so it was 1069 00:48:12,239 --> 00:48:15,760 Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars, which is awesome, and it needed. 1070 00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:17,680 Speaker 3: About one hundred and fifty thousand dollars worth of work. 1071 00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:20,480 Speaker 2: But the homes around their goal for about two twenty 1072 00:48:20,480 --> 00:48:23,600 Speaker 2: five and they're building a new train station that goes 1073 00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:26,160 Speaker 2: directly to New York City, like around the corner.

Excuse me, Like, where's do I 1332 01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 1: bring the baby and just feed him? 1333 01:00:14,120 --> 01:00:15,360 Speaker 3: Like at the pole's what's happening? 1334 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 1: It's impossible for me, so and I understand, but I 1335 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,959 Speaker 1: really was desperate to work as a poll worker because 1336 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:24,880 Speaker 1: there's a shortage because with COVID, you know, because of 1337 01:00:24,920 --> 01:00:26,760 Speaker 1: the hours. And now I understand this, a lot of 1338 01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,680 Speaker 1: the people who are poll workers are older and they 1339 01:00:29,720 --> 01:00:31,920 Speaker 1: are not coming out in droves like they usually do 1340 01:00:31,960 --> 01:00:34,400 Speaker 1: because they're afraid of catching COVID. Who can blame them, 1341 01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:36,960 Speaker 1: But that just means we need people to work as 1342 01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:39,480 Speaker 1: poll workers. So if you're available and if you can 1343 01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:41,640 Speaker 1: work those hours. Maybe it's not that way everywhere, but 1344 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,440 Speaker 1: I was genuinely shocked, and I even emailed her back, 1345 01:00:44,600 --> 01:00:48,840 Speaker 1: say five am to nine to win. No, they don't letch. 1346 01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:50,880 Speaker 1: They wouldn't let me do like a short shift or whatever. 1347 01:00:51,040 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 1: So I'm super bummed that I can't be a poll worker. 1348 01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,680 Speaker 1: But if you can show up, and here's why it matters. 1349 01:00:56,720 --> 01:00:59,000 Speaker 1: This summer, when we were it was a primaries here 1350 01:00:59,440 --> 01:01:02,360 Speaker 1: in our in our area, the line for the polls 1351 01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:04,440 Speaker 1: was insane. My husband went out there for four or 1352 01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,480 Speaker 1: five hours standing and that's because due to the shortage 1353 01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:10,520 Speaker 1: of poll workers, they have decreased the number of polling locations, 1354 01:01:10,760 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 1: so we went from like sixty places to vote to five. 1355 01:01:13,520 --> 01:01:15,480 Speaker 1: And that means people are like, if people have to 1356 01:01:15,520 --> 01:01:17,840 Speaker 1: wait in that long line, if they have babies at home, 1357 01:01:17,920 --> 01:01:19,800 Speaker 1: like I did, I had to go home to my child. 1358 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:22,520 Speaker 1: I didn't vote in the primary. I don't want that 1359 01:01:22,560 --> 01:01:26,360 Speaker 1: to happen. So if you can show up, volunteer work 1360 01:01:26,400 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 1: as a pollwork or whatever you can and help make 1361 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:31,800 Speaker 1: sure people are able to cast their vote. And if 1362 01:01:31,800 --> 01:01:34,040 Speaker 1: you if you can't do that, at least tell people 1363 01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:36,960 Speaker 1: that they can vote early and help them, you know, 1364 01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,560 Speaker 1: figure all that out. Just google your state vote early 1365 01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,000 Speaker 1: and figure out how to request about it. 1366 01:01:41,600 --> 01:01:44,480 Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly exactly. 1367 01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:46,640 Speaker 2: I haven't done that in a while. Shout out to Maguell, 1368 01:01:46,680 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 2: my husband, my sister's husband. Yeah, no, I think that 1369 01:01:51,320 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 2: hot child. I mean, I'm not gonna lie. There's a 1370 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:56,800 Speaker 2: lot of stress bubbling, but I am hopeful that we 1371 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 2: will pull through and we will be okay. 1372 01:01:59,200 --> 01:01:59,840 Speaker 3: Just gotta knat it. 1373 01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,720 Speaker 1: Till a third of November, y'all.
