WEBVTT - Beware of Small Expenses

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Ice SE's Daily Game. It's a production of iHeartRadio. What's

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Up in Size Team? You're listening to. The Daily Game

0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>a compilation of motivational quotes I've collected over the years

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:15.920
<v Speaker 1>that I've found inspiring and helped me through the game

0:00:15.960 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>of life. Today's quote comes a man who did it all,

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Benjamin Franklin, a founding father, a writer, a scientist, an inventor,

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:29.400
<v Speaker 1>a politician. The list goes on. But this cat had

0:00:29.440 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>some real knowledge, so let's get to it. Beware of

0:00:33.200 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>the little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:44.160
<v Speaker 1>You have to be concerned with everything because you can

0:00:44.760 --> 0:00:48.479
<v Speaker 1>have so many little expenses that they add up and

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>you're not really paying attention to them. I'm known about

0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:58.400
<v Speaker 1>great internet scams and financial scams where just by having

0:00:58.800 --> 0:01:03.600
<v Speaker 1>an extraickel or dime taken from millions of peoples, where

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>people have ended up with multi million dollar scams. I'm

0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>quite sure that the cell phone companies are robbing us blind.

0:01:12.040 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm quite sure no one on earth can read a

0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:20.080
<v Speaker 1>cell phone bill. You just pay that shit blindly. They're surcharges.

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>And when you think of the millions and millions of

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.040
<v Speaker 1>people that pay their cell phone bills every fucking month,

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:28.479
<v Speaker 1>and all they got to do is have an extra

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>dollar on there that you can't find one dollar, four quarters.

0:01:33.560 --> 0:01:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Multiply that over the hundreds of millions of people that's stolen.

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>Money that's stolen. Even if it's a quarter, you can

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>never find it. And there's things you can do on

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:48.760
<v Speaker 1>the internet where you'll sign up for something and there'll

0:01:48.800 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>be a surcharge down in a small print and they

0:01:51.680 --> 0:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>will build you for the rest of your fucking life

0:01:54.280 --> 0:01:58.280
<v Speaker 1>and you'll never see that quarter. Ever, that's a small leak.

0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 1>Me being successful, I give out money to my friend's

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>family all the time, and it's small loans, from one

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars to five thousand dollars, ten thousand dollars whatever.

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Over a year. My accountant says, oh, well, you know,

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>this year you loaned out three hundred thousand dollars. This

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>is small. I did not loan anyone one hundred thousand,

0:02:21.840 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>even fifty thousand. But the small leak over months and

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>months and months and months will add up. Benjamin Franklin says,

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:36.919
<v Speaker 1>beware of the little expenses. A small leak will sink

0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>a great ship. And it's funny though, because people will

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.320
<v Speaker 1>come to me all the time they go, well, what's

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>your charity. I'm like having all broke friends count as

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>a charity. I told my friends, I said, if I

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.040
<v Speaker 1>had one friend, just only one, I could move them

0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:55.480
<v Speaker 1>into a house right next door to me. They'd have

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.880
<v Speaker 1>the exact same ship. But I don't. I come from

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 1>a band, The Gypsy's one hundred so many friends, but

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 1>I love them all, and I honestly only give to

0:03:06.280 --> 0:03:09.320
<v Speaker 1>people that I love and I feel they deserve and

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>need it. But that small league can't sink of great ship.

0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.480
<v Speaker 1>This has been another ice cold fact from me. Iced team.

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Listening again tomorrow when I drop some wisdom on your

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>ass till then, stay safe, stay smart, and say knowing

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:32.840
<v Speaker 1>that a little bit will always equal a lot. Eventually,
