Let me go correct, right, And I 174 00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 3: think that that's what you need to find out first 175 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 3: and foremost is what are you passionate about? 176 00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,160 Speaker 2: And does that passion feel a need? And how can 177 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 2: you feel that need? 178 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:11,200 Speaker 3: Once you do that and you start making money, then 179 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,239 Speaker 3: let's start talking about how we could take that money, 180 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,360 Speaker 3: like doctor Fraser said, and start investing it in different 181 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 3: vehicles so that money could grow. But first, but if 182 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 3: you but if you're after the money first, I personally wouldn't. 183 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 2: Say to do that. 184 00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,360 Speaker 3: I would say, find that passion, find how you that 185 00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 3: passion could feel a need, and once you have that 186 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 3: need filled that you start making money from it. Now 187 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: take some of that money and start investing in other places. 188 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: So it could grow and I'm just follow this up chantail. 189 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 2: Money is interesting. 190 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 1: Money is really interesting because it makes people make bad 191 00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: decision and good decisions. Okay, the bad decision is that 192 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: if you invest something that you can't lose, and a 193 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: lot of people don't understand that. 194 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 2: See, you can invest if you. 195 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,800 Speaker 1: If your time is valuable, which it should be, people 196 00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: invest it, but they'll understand that investment that you can lose, 197 00:08:58,559 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: you can't get time back. 198 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: And so when you. 199 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: Put it out there, and so people understand that money 200 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 1: is the same thing. And so I run the opportunity 201 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,400 Speaker 1: to route too. I will tell people all the time, 202 00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: I said, when I go into the grocery store, my 203 00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: goal has always been I just buy what I want. 204 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:18,520 Speaker 1: I technically don't even look at the price. Now I 205 00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: do shop with coupons. If I have some coupons, I 206 00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,160 Speaker 1: go in there make sure if I got two eggs 207 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 1: or seventy five cents off of of milk or I 208 00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: will do that. 209 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 2: That's when I'm looking for a price. But technically I'm 210 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:29,199 Speaker 2: just going in there. 211 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 1: But I'm also a guy who will take advantage of 212 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 1: an opportunity. And I'm just telling you, is that just 213 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,960 Speaker 1: reframe your thought process. Don't use words like hustle, don't 214 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 1: use words like scheme, because you need to articulate your 215 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: conversation to people who appreciate the value of a plan. 216 00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: And right now, just put your plan in action. Realize 217 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: your time is an investment, and then you should outline 218 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: your time with a schedule, and that schedule has to 219 00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: be consistent. And when it's consistent, like I said earlier, 220 00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,400 Speaker 1: I get up at four thirty every day. 221 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: Monday through Friday. That's my winning time. 222 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: Your winny time might be five thirty, your windy time 223 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 1: might be six thirty. But what your winning time can 224 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,760 Speaker 1: be four thirty on Tuesday, six o'clock on Wednesday, seven 225 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 1: o'clock on Thursday, three o'clock on Friday.

And if you 273 00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 1: look at the person who don't want to share their flaws, 274 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: stop talking to him.

It's the same 301 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: thing in the financial world that you in. 302 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,400 Speaker 2: You people come. 303 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: Up with you, take photos with you, say, man, how 304 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 1: can I want to give you the business card? What 305 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: frustrates you most when people don't do what you're advising 306 00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,480 Speaker 1: to do because you can't tell them what you advise. 307 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think I think the most frustrating part 308 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:07,560 Speaker 3: is uh, just people complaining, you know, uh, because because 309 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,560 Speaker 3: here's the deal, because uh, we all have a choice, 310 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 3: right Uh. Being broke is difficult, being successful is difficult. 311 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: You just gotta choose the difficult that you want. 312 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:22,680 Speaker 3: And so if you choose the difficult, that says, hey, 313 00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 3: I'm gonna be broke, I'm not gonna know how to 314 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 3: you know, take care of my family. 315 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna worry about how to make ends 316 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: meet and things of that nature. 317 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:33,440 Speaker 3: And there's somebody who's taking time to show you, you know, 318 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,360 Speaker 3: how to you know, how to do that, how to 319 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 3: get to the next level of life, and just to 320 00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080 Speaker 3: you know, be somebody who is taking up that knowledge 321 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 3: and not implementing. I think that's the most frustrating part 322 00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 3: because there's a lot of people out there that want 323 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:51,120 Speaker 3: the information, who would love to have somebody give them 324 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 3: the information. And so if you are, you know, you know, 325 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 3: wasting time, you're you're in the you're in the way 326 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 3: of somebody else who is willing to implement. So other 327 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 3: than that, I think that's the frustrating part. But the 328 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,360 Speaker 3: truth of the matter too is I also know that 329 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: it doesn't happen overnight, right, right, And so I know 330 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: that there are people who, you know, what we're saying 331 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 3: is shaking up their mindset, right, Like doctor Fraze just says, 332 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:17,280 Speaker 3: don't waste. 333 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: Your time on savings. 334 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:18,560 Speaker 6: Right. 335 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 3: He didn't say that verbatim, but he's saying, listen, you 336 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 3: are wasting your time on you know, if you're saving 337 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 3: your month for percent, right, half a percent, right, so 338 00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 3: it's not even one percent, it's half of eight percent, right. 339 00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 3: And so as a former fifteen year big and executive, 340 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 3: I approve that message. But you gotta think, right, you 341 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,000 Speaker 3: gotta think in our neighborhood that like, like that's what 342 00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 3: they told us, they said, to go to work, work hard, 343 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 3: save your money. But if you save your money, you're 344 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 3: losing money. And I think that, you know, it's a 345 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,480 Speaker 3: whole big paradigm shift that's happening. And so I get it. 346 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 3: We're shaking up people's world. 347 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 2: That's all they knew. 348 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 3: They grandmothers and parents are telling them save, save, save, safe, save, 349 00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 3: And now the paradigm is invest invest in. That's and 350 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 3: so people might not get it on the first time. 351 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 3: And so for me, I'm happy that the conversations are happy, 352 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 3: the money making conversations are happening. Uh and and and 353 00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,560 Speaker 3: I know eventually we got we just gotta make it. 354 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,600 Speaker 3: We gotta keep having a conversation until it becomes cool. 355 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 2: It like what Chanteraira was talking about the four one k. 356 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, your your employer pays some, she pays some, take 357 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:21,960 Speaker 1: it out of your check fifty dollars a month. It 358 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 1: adds up in a big way. I got Eric from Shamblee. 359 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: He has a banking with a basic investment conversation. 360 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: Question. Eric from Shamblee. 361 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: You're on the call with Shan McDonald and financial guru 362 00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: and a motivator, mister Ashcash. 363 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: What's your question? 364 00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:44,760 Speaker 7: Okay, Well, I mean I'm an artist and I also 365 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 7: want to try to work on licensing my art and promoted. 366 00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 7: But that's my passion to make money. But I know 367 00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:57,480 Speaker 7: all the things that you're talking about, I don't know 368 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:01,200 Speaker 7: anything about. I can't I don't know a pic of it, 369 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 7: you know, to say, Okay, I'm gonna add water and 370 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 7: sugar and I just start making a money take yep. 371 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, So Eric, thank you, thank you for that. 372 00:17:11,320 --> 00:17:13,880 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, now for sure, and thank you for that vulnerability. 373 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:14,160 Speaker 2: Right. 374 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 3: What I would say is this, I would say, make 375 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 3: sure that you have a financial plan. 376 00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,200 Speaker 2: And what does that mean. 377 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 3: You know, when you get paid, whatever you do, whether 378 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:26,440 Speaker 3: you still have a nine to five, whether it's your art, 379 00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,640 Speaker 3: whenever you get paid, what I want you to do 380 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 3: is put a certain amount aside, right, And so whether 381 00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 3: it's thirty percent, ten percent, find out. 382 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 2: An amount that you're comfortable with. Put that aside. 383 00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:41,400 Speaker 3: And the first thing you're gonna do is you're gonna 384 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,679 Speaker 3: you're gonna start building what I like to call your 385 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:47,119 Speaker 3: financial freedom fund. And what that means is start to 386 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,399 Speaker 3: build up an account that's six to eight months of expenses. 387 00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 2: Right. 388 00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 3: And so so we're not saying savings accounts are bad. 389 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:57,199 Speaker 3: We're saying that actually good because they can save you, 390 00:17:57,200 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 3: you know, in case of an emergency. So start building 391 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 3: a financial freedom fund. But then also what you need 392 00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 3: to start doing is is after or while you're building 393 00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: that financial freedom fund. The truth of the matter is 394 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:12,159 Speaker 3: that no one's gonna become financially free if they don't invest, 395 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,680 Speaker 3: if they don't change their relationship with money. Because right now, 396 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:18,520 Speaker 3: our relationship is that we're gonna work hard for money. 397 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 3: But the true relationship should be money should work hard 398 00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:23,719 Speaker 3: for you. And the only way that happens is if 399 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,440 Speaker 3: you invest right. And so as you're building your financial 400 00:18:26,480 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 3: freedom fund, start to put money aside that you're gonna 401 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 3: start investing. And the good thing about doing it every 402 00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,840 Speaker 3: time you get paid is that you're not just taking 403 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:36,520 Speaker 3: a lump sum. 404 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 2: You're doing what's called dollar cost averaging. 405 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 3: So whether you're investing in crypto, if you're investing in 406 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 3: the stock market, whatever you're investing in, you're actually doing 407 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 3: it on a periodic basis. And as you do it 408 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 3: on that periodic basic it's actually gonna grow for you. 409 00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 3: But the number one thing before you invest a dollar 410 00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: is to understand, you know, to have the information, the 411 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 3: knowledge on how to invest. And so there are tons 412 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: of podcasts out there, there's a lot of you know, 413 00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:10,399 Speaker 3: financial shows, out there. There are free resources on YouTube 414 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 3: that can actually teach you the basics of how to 415 00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 3: get into it. I would start there and then and 416 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 3: and and then you start to build, you know, build 417 00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:20,720 Speaker 3: from there. Absolutely. I was just want to say. 418 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 2: This on my nd rate. 419 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 8: Now I've got I've got a little bit of money 420 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 8: right sitting in the drawer doing nothing. 421 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:30,360 Speaker 2: I hope it's not really sitting in the drawer. It's 422 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,480 Speaker 2: not really in a drawer, is It's not really in 423 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,400 Speaker 2: the drawer? Okay? Cool? We really need to talk. 424 00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:38,440 Speaker 1: Offline and don't let nobody at track this phone either 425 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: because I'm done. I don't need to be on Channel 426 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,720 Speaker 1: five tonight because somebody didn't sixty nine on my number. 427 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,879 Speaker 8: You said it's doing you know what I'm saying. This 428 00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:50,639 Speaker 8: money is just doing nothing. I mean it's only like 429 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,679 Speaker 8: fifteen hundred dollars, but it's doing nothing. 430 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,719 Speaker 2: Right, But that's money though they could be stuff. Did 431 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 2: you not hear? What? What just take three hundred dollars 432 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 2: to go to cryptocurrency? 433 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:00,959 Speaker 1: I just want to give this advice to you and 434 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: everybody because we want to go to some more callers 435 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: and thank everybody for calling in on the show, and 436 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: especially thank you, because you're being honest about yourself, and 437 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:10,639 Speaker 1: the only way you can move ahead is being honest 438 00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:15,119 Speaker 1: about your situation. What always drives me is about people 439 00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,280 Speaker 1: who go to church they tied. We see, God teaches 440 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: you how to save. He gives you the discipline to save, 441 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:23,159 Speaker 1: but you do it for the church, but don't do 442 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,440 Speaker 1: it for yourself. So you take that same discipline. So 443 00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,760 Speaker 1: when I tell people who in the church put a 444 00:20:27,760 --> 00:20:29,440 Speaker 1: little money inside, they look at me like, I ain't 445 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,480 Speaker 1: got no money, but you got money for church though. 446 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,680 Speaker 1: So I'm telling you take that same principle, that same 447 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,800 Speaker 1: discipline that you have for church, and apply to yourself, 448 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,160 Speaker 1: and you'll win twice the God blessing and the personal blessing. 449 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. 450 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 1: And so if you take advantage of that knowledge that 451 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,040 Speaker 1: we're trying to give you, and what you want to 452 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: win with is that. 453 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 2: I value your call. 454 00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: I value your knowledge, But the discipline is what most 455 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 1: people make a mistake on. And I just wanted to 456 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: do a shout out to the people who go to 457 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: church to the people who do tie. Those are the 458 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: same people. And you know, we'll tell you. I don't 459 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: know how I'm gonna do that. I don't know how 460 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna pull together twenty dollars a week when you 461 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: give it twenty dollars to the church every week, and 462 00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,880 Speaker 1: that's forty dollars. All I'm saying is fifty dollars a month, 463 00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 1: So you can get to that fifty dollars. And so 464 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: all I've ever said, and all Ash Cash is always saying, 465 00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: is common sense. That's why I love this brother. He 466 00:21:19,480 --> 00:21:22,239 Speaker 1: talks from a commonsense perspective.

I was asking, as a veteran on a income, 475 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,280 Speaker 5: how would I get into the game. I'm unemployable, so 476 00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 5: I'm not able to work. I just get faced income 477 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 5: every month. So how would I be able to get 478 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 5: into that and not injure myself financially to take care 479 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 5: of my other financial obligation. 480 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, now that's a great question, and thank you for 481 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,840 Speaker 3: your service. So what I what I would say is 482 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,000 Speaker 3: similar to what I was telling mister Eric was really 483 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 3: you know, really about you know. 484 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: Taking money from the side, right. 485 00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 3: And what happens is though when you are on a 486 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 3: fixed income, there's only two two ways, right, that you 487 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 3: could or three ways to increase your bottom line. You 488 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 3: either decrease expenses, increase your income, or do both things. 489 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:22,200 Speaker 2: Right. 490 00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 3: And so if you're on a fixed income, what I 491 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 3: would say is the first thing is to look at 492 00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:29,480 Speaker 3: your expenses and see, you know, what ways that you 493 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,239 Speaker 3: could cut back some right, what ways can you use 494 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,440 Speaker 3: I said, I said, what ways that you could cut 495 00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,880 Speaker 3: back on expenses? Because as you're as you're cutting back 496 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:44,240 Speaker 3: on expenses, you now make you know, make way for 497 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 3: some income and then you use that income. 498 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,800 Speaker 2: Because what happens is this, once. 499 00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 3: You cut back, and even if you're cutting back on expenses, 500 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,680 Speaker 3: it doesn't have to be permanently. It could be temporarily. 501 00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:56,119 Speaker 3: So that way you can gain you know, some money 502 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 3: to invest. And while you're investing and making your money 503 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,120 Speaker 3: work for you, and that money starts to grow. Now 504 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:05,280 Speaker 3: you're building money that you have access to that you 505 00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:08,679 Speaker 3: could either put back into the investment and let it 506 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,359 Speaker 3: keep growing. Or if you wanted to supplement that that 507 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,920 Speaker 3: expense you can. But so so I would say start 508 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,440 Speaker 3: with decreasing your expense. See what you know, what things 509 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,239 Speaker 3: you're spending money on that could potentially be decreased, and 510 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 3: then you know, start to look into investing money. 511 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:25,399 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna add this to you, a lot of 512 00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:28,280 Speaker 1: people don't realize that sometimes you don't try to invest 513 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:31,399 Speaker 1: by yourself. Get a group of people together and start 514 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 1: educating yourself. 515 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 2: Four or five people. If you got fifty dollars. 516 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: That means five of y'all have two hundred and fifty 517 00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 1: dollars that can be invested as a group. Now you're 518 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:40,119 Speaker 1: not you're investing two hundred fifty dollars, So you're not 519 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 1: investing in your two hundred and fifty dollars. 520 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:43,400 Speaker 2: Plus you have. 521 00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 1: Other people doing research for you also invest in their 522 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,000 Speaker 1: time because they're fifty dollars means something to you. So 523 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 1: I would say take the advice and ask gave you. 524 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: But also if you have some people start, don't get 525 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:57,320 Speaker 1: in the game quick. There's no rush. What bothers me 526 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 1: about people that get a certain age, they feel like 527 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: I gotta hurry up and get there. No I don't 528 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: care if you sixty seventy eighty, take your time. If 529 00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 1: you rush life right, life will in for you because 530 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: you're in a hurry. I am not in a hurry 531 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: to do nothing. I drive slow, I eat faster. 532 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,679 Speaker 2: You eat faster because I come from a big family, 533 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:17,800 Speaker 2: six sisters, two brothers. You come from a big family. 534 00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 2: You learn to eat fast. Brother.

Oh everybody. I find my brother, fied, 540 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 1: my sister.
