Yes, I mean because I just believed let 70 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: the work speak for itself. There's nothing else. I always 71 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 1: felt in our profession that stage is an equalizer. The 72 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 1: credits can get you applause in the beginning, but the jokes, 73 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: the work, you could tell who works on their craft 74 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: and who's in our craft, um deserve to be there. 75 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: And I think that so I always concentrated on the 76 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:43,360 Speaker 1: workers work speak for itself. Now, one of my art 77 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 1: tastes and one of my all time favorite jokes that 78 00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: you did was the dog doing O. J. Simpson Trial. 79 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: But it's the ability to take abstract characters bring it 80 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:00,560 Speaker 1: like like they actually real you know what I'm saying. No, no, 81 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 1: don't talk now dog gate talk, But do you we 82 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 1: believe in the dog and talk based on you? What 83 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,679 Speaker 1: what is the sequence of it? Just listen to people, 84 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:13,000 Speaker 1: because I know it's a stand up comedy comic. At 85 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 1: one point you just trying to be funny, and then 86 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: at some point it's just like a college degree. It's 87 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 1: like class two plus two equal four. You learned to 88 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 1: sequence things together and you're just funny and you know 89 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: how to make things funny.

I think it starts 92 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: from reality or realistic to me. I tell people every 93 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,400 Speaker 1: time to answer me, how you do it? I say, 94 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: It's like, it's just like being in the hood, man, 95 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: it's a it's the truth that bloms that blossom into 96 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: a big lie. Right. I was fighting this one dude, man, 97 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: and then by the time to get to you, ra 98 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: Sean man, I was fighting nineteen mine and I slammed 99 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: one underneath the dope and it was two over came 100 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 1: and then Mama came on and I slapped it.

The other dude had a knife. Yeah, 105 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,480 Speaker 1: so that's my philosophy. It always start from a grain, 106 00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,919 Speaker 1: from the original foundation of the truth. That's why I 107 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: say these ain't jokes, That's where it comes from. These 108 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: ain't jokes, right, you know?

There was one guaranteed way to build wealth. 497 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: Because every last one of us has to do two things. 498 00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,960 Speaker 1: We have to pay taxes and one day we have 499 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,560 Speaker 1: to leave up out of here. And when we leave here, 500 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: we have the ability to get enough life insurance to 501 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 1: not just take care of our last rights and rights 502 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: of passage and the funeral and them and the repasses 503 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:00,840 Speaker 1: on those things, but we have the ability to carry 504 00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: on wealth to future generations. Rashan, when I was on 505 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:08,080 Speaker 1: food stamp, I was worth more dead than a live. 506 00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:10,640 Speaker 1: I'm not you know. That just is what it is, 507 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 1: and most people are anyway. But I had enough life 508 00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 1: insurance to ensure that my three children could graduate from college, 509 00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:22,120 Speaker 1: could live the lifestyles that I envisioned for them. And 510 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: that that's not to say that they would have just 511 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:27,040 Speaker 1: been wealthy and foot loose and fancy free. They would 512 00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:29,160 Speaker 1: have had a trust fund, and they still would have 513 00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,280 Speaker 1: had to work to sustain themselves, but they would have 514 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,880 Speaker 1: had enough wealth to sustain themselves to a certain degree, 515 00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: be able to continue their education and then pass that 516 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: wealth onto their children and their children's children. The Bible 517 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 1: says that a good man a good woman leads an 518 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 1: inheritance to a children's children. And I if I could 519 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,240 Speaker 1: just say anything about spend less money, get your money back, 520 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: make your money very, spend less money, get more money, 521 00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: get your money back, I would also say make your 522 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 1: money grow through proper investments. And insurance is one of 523 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,400 Speaker 1: those investments. You know, I um, I have to agree, 524 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: But it's just so much though, Dr Lynn, when you 525 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, like you said, the go fund me is 526 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:16,440 Speaker 1: really cute, you know, you say, just see I'm trying 527 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,800 Speaker 1: to I'm down on my luck or I'm struggling. If 528 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,080 Speaker 1: you can just put some money in my go fund 529 00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:25,440 Speaker 1: me account. You know they're gonna take a fee when 530 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,720 Speaker 1: you put it there. That's not all your money. They're 531 00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: gonna take a fee a percentage of that, so know 532 00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: that going in. So anytime you think you're trying to 533 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 1: get over and think you're getting something easy, somebody is 534 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:37,840 Speaker 1: taking a percentage of that. And that's what you're saying. 535 00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: Do it right and establish a relationship where there's an app, 536 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:44,800 Speaker 1: do your homework or with a small broke brokerage firm, 537 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 1: so you can have a long term plan instead of 538 00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,200 Speaker 1: this quick, get get over plan. And that's what people 539 00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:52,360 Speaker 1: are doing with these go fund me accounts because you 540 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,880 Speaker 1: see him on the news all the time. Immediate after 541 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: if somebody has done something or some tragedy or a 542 00:32:57,160 --> 00:33:00,600 Speaker 1: house burned down, or unfortunate death and meet quick death 543 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 1: in their family, the news is always saying, go fund me, 544 00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: set up and go fund me, go set up and 545 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 1: go fund me account. And that's not the way it 546 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 1: goes in the real world of trying to get your 547 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: life straight financially correct. You know, no one has passed 548 00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 1: on generational wealth by way of a go fund me account. 549 00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:21,240 Speaker 1: And what people need to also understand is that those 550 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 1: go fund me accounts can be shut down. So if 551 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:29,120 Speaker 1: there is anything, yeah, there's any kind of pant of impropriety, 552 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:31,680 Speaker 1: if there's when you set up a goal fund me account, 553 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 1: it has to be used for the purposes for which 554 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: um it was created. And so if the whole idea is, 555 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:41,200 Speaker 1: for example, and we don't like to talk about death, 556 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: we'll talk about everything else. People talk about sex, they 557 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,400 Speaker 1: talk about drugs, they talk about everything else. But they 558 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:48,120 Speaker 1: don't want to talk about death and we don't want 559 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: to talk about money. And as zig Ziggler said, money 560 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:53,920 Speaker 1: is like oxygen. You gotta have it. I don't care 561 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,160 Speaker 1: where you go, what you do, when you look up, down, 562 00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:58,960 Speaker 1: all the way around. We're gonna have to talk about money. 563 00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,200 Speaker 1: We're spending money every single time we go outside, every 564 00:34:02,240 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 1: single time we wake up, every time, every single time 565 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: you get in your car and drive gas money. Can 566 00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: anybody say gas money? So we have to talk about it. 567 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,439 Speaker 1: And the truth is, if we make the decision. You see, 568 00:34:14,480 --> 00:34:17,840 Speaker 1: this is a choice, Rashwan, this is a choice. I 569 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,840 Speaker 1: am going to choose to spend my money on something. 570 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:24,040 Speaker 1: For some of us, that may be furniture. For some 571 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,200 Speaker 1: of us, that may be jewelry. For some of us 572 00:34:26,200 --> 00:34:29,919 Speaker 1: that may be clothing. It may be our favorite meals. Um. 573 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:33,360 Speaker 1: There's one study that says, particularly as African Americans, we 574 00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 1: are eating our wealth away. UM. If we just take 575 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,759 Speaker 1: the money that we spend on um uber eat, I'm 576 00:34:40,800 --> 00:34:44,160 Speaker 1: just gonna throw that in there. Uber eat a limit. 577 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:48,120 Speaker 1: Say something over if you ought up all of the 578 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:53,239 Speaker 1: money that's spent on Uber eats and um all of 579 00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:56,759 Speaker 1: the you know, grub hub and everything else. The delivery 580 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:00,400 Speaker 1: places that deliver you your ten dollar hamburg or for 581 00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:04,279 Speaker 1: twenty seven dollars and cents if you if we take 582 00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: that money, the average thirty five to forty year old 583 00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,000 Speaker 1: young man or young woman could have at least a 584 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: million dollars a million dollars in life insurance just with 585 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,239 Speaker 1: your grub up money, just with your overeach money. I 586 00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:23,120 Speaker 1: didn't take away your sandwich. I didn't take away the pizza. 587 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:25,680 Speaker 1: I didn't take away the submarine sandwich. I didn't take 588 00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,960 Speaker 1: away the French fract. I said, let me just take 589 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,160 Speaker 1: the delivery feed that we are spending on those things 590 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:35,920 Speaker 1: and allocated elsewhere. So you know that that was I'm 591 00:35:36,040 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: so passionate. As you know. We're stought about so many 592 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 1: areas and finances and all of them require grit, All 593 00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:45,719 Speaker 1: of them require grinds. You said it so many times. 594 00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 1: And the way you telp others to build wealth and 595 00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,560 Speaker 1: build their careers. You gotta stick in there. You gotta 596 00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,160 Speaker 1: stay in there with life of us. You have to 597 00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,000 Speaker 1: stick to anything, just keep on living, pay the money 598 00:35:56,239 --> 00:35:58,880 Speaker 1: and been watch and see what happens when you transition. 599 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,239 Speaker 1: So it's one of those things. It's an easy win 600 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,440 Speaker 1: for us as a community life insurance.

They have the food brought 605 00:36:18,840 --> 00:36:21,240 Speaker 1: to you. We had to call here Michael in Atlanta. 606 00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,160 Speaker 1: How are you doing, Michael, You're speaking to Dr Lynn 607 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:26,640 Speaker 1: Richardson on Money Making Conversations master Class. What is your question? 608 00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:30,640 Speaker 1: I'm doing absolutely fine. Thank you so much for having 609 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,720 Speaker 1: me on the show. UM. My question actually was about 610 00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: life insurance. I actually ended up losing my job not 611 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,080 Speaker 1: too long ago, and I just wanted to understand how 612 00:36:40,160 --> 00:36:43,520 Speaker 1: do I keep investing UM in my life insurance plan 613 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,839 Speaker 1: when well, I mean, with this economy and everything going on, 614 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:49,759 Speaker 1: I really don't know how to maintain it. I don't 615 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,520 Speaker 1: really know what you do now you know that. Yeah, 616 00:36:54,600 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: that's an excellent question, and first of all, you know, 617 00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 1: my my prayers are with you as you figure out 618 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:03,239 Speaker 1: how to regroup. Regroup. Um. The number two things and 619 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,760 Speaker 1: the overall financial strategy is to get more money, build 620 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,759 Speaker 1: multiple streams of income, and so to that piece of it, 621 00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: I would say, Um, start right now thinking about what 622 00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:15,640 Speaker 1: you can do. Start your own business, your own home 623 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:18,719 Speaker 1: based business. Because one stream of income is has to 624 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,840 Speaker 1: see your wealth. And one of the things I often say, 625 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,480 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're doctor, a lawyer, or a teacher, 626 00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,720 Speaker 1: you can still be an entrepreneur. A doctor can teach 627 00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:31,960 Speaker 1: health classes and tutor and things like that. A lawyer 628 00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:35,080 Speaker 1: can also teach legal clinics and teach people how not 629 00:37:35,200 --> 00:37:37,680 Speaker 1: to get shot if they get pulled over. Um. A 630 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:40,640 Speaker 1: teacher can set up tutoring and so depending on what 631 00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:43,200 Speaker 1: your skill set is, whether it's your professional skill set 632 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,799 Speaker 1: and or um, something that you have passion about or 633 00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,239 Speaker 1: that you are or that you enjoy doing, you set 634 00:37:49,320 --> 00:37:52,320 Speaker 1: up another stream of income. In terms of your life insurance. 635 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:55,600 Speaker 1: You just hit a very key point. It is important 636 00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,320 Speaker 1: for every single one of us, and I'm saying everybody. 637 00:37:58,680 --> 00:38:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't care how many ALBS you have. It is 638 00:38:01,840 --> 00:38:05,160 Speaker 1: important for you to have your own life insurance policy 639 00:38:05,520 --> 00:38:09,160 Speaker 1: independence of your job, because if you lose your job, 640 00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,799 Speaker 1: you will also lose that life insurance. And by the 641 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:15,759 Speaker 1: time you lose that job, you may be older. You 642 00:38:15,800 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: will be older. I mean even if it's just one day, 643 00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:21,960 Speaker 1: you'll be older, and you may not be in the 644 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 1: best health that you were in when you first got 645 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,960 Speaker 1: the job or got the life insurance policy. So the 646 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: number one thing I'd say to you is um to 647 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,239 Speaker 1: remember that this is the word in here, it's life. 648 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:36,839 Speaker 1: This is your life. This literally is your life. And 649 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,160 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you from my own experience, it 650 00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,880 Speaker 1: did not matter. I was want food, fam I was, 651 00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:48,760 Speaker 1: you know, degreed in in finance, mathematics, business master degree. 652 00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:51,319 Speaker 1: I had been the vice president of a of a 653 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 1: major financial institution and I could not find a job. 654 00:38:54,920 --> 00:38:56,719 Speaker 1: But let me tell you what I had. I had 655 00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,200 Speaker 1: food samp, I had a roof over my head, and 656 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 1: I had some life insurance. Because here's what I knew. 657 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 1: As long as I have a roof over my head 658 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,520 Speaker 1: and I have food on the table, I will not 659 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,839 Speaker 1: be homeless and I will not be hungry. So you 660 00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:11,520 Speaker 1: get me pass those to two things. Go live with 661 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 1: my grandmother, whatever it takes to do to get there. Now, 662 00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna grind and I'm gonna make sure I have 663 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:21,160 Speaker 1: enough life insurance because just in case I don't wake up, 664 00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: then my children would not feel the fall out of 665 00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,839 Speaker 1: my mispath. My children would not feel the fall out 666 00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,680 Speaker 1: my community, my generation. Some people say, well, I don't 667 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,880 Speaker 1: have children, don't you care about something? Is there a 668 00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 1: community center you'd like to build in your old neighborhood. 669 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: Is there something you'd like to donate to a school? 670 00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 1: Is there a church? Is there a center? See what 671 00:39:40,760 --> 00:39:43,399 Speaker 1: other cultures do if they make sure that the next 672 00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:46,320 Speaker 1: group doesn't have to start over. And so my blessings 673 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: and my prayers are with you as you figure that 674 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: out and you find fifty dollars, sixty dollars or whatever 675 00:39:52,160 --> 00:39:54,120 Speaker 1: it is a month to figure out a way to 676 00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 1: get some life insurance and to maintain it. Great, Um, 677 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 1: let me ask you this question because I'm not trying 678 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,960 Speaker 1: to get into their life insurance expert conversation, but there 679 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: are different versions of life insurance. You have the term 680 00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: life that I'm fair familiar with. Then you have a 681 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:14,000 Speaker 1: whole and universal. Are you adverse enough to tell us 682 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:17,000 Speaker 1: the difference? And why won't you go with the other there? 683 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:21,880 Speaker 1: Dr Lamb Richardson, Absolutely so. In the in the early days, 684 00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:25,480 Speaker 1: if you're if you're financially uh, if you're struggling financially, 685 00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: if you're trying to really hard to make ends, meet. 686 00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,600 Speaker 1: What I recommend in your early days of getting your 687 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: financial plan in order is to get as much term 688 00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:37,680 Speaker 1: life insurance as you can get a twenty or thirty 689 00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:42,080 Speaker 1: year term policy UM, that is temporary life insurance UM. 690 00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 1: But instead of you only having let's say a hundred thousands, 691 00:40:45,440 --> 00:40:48,600 Speaker 1: you may have five hundred thousand or million, particularly if 692 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:51,719 Speaker 1: you have children, if you have more than one child, UM, 693 00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:54,800 Speaker 1: if you have a parent, a grandparents. You see, Rashwan, 694 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:57,600 Speaker 1: I had enough life insurance not just to take care 695 00:40:57,640 --> 00:41:00,359 Speaker 1: of my children, but my grandmother raised me. You've heard 696 00:41:00,360 --> 00:41:05,040 Speaker 1: me talk about grandma, and if something happened to me, 697 00:41:05,600 --> 00:41:07,759 Speaker 1: I wanted to make sure that there was enough money 698 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:10,799 Speaker 1: to take care of her, to put her into not 699 00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,960 Speaker 1: just a nursing home, but a skilled facility that would 700 00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:18,960 Speaker 1: be able to support her comfortably during her last days. 701 00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 1: And so when you get the life insurance policy, you 702 00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 1: also set up a trust. The trust explains what to do. 703 00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:30,359 Speaker 1: The trust says, gives each child tuition money once a month, 704 00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:35,000 Speaker 1: or enough money for rent. It says, pay grandma's nursing 705 00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:37,279 Speaker 1: home bill, or whatever it does, because what we don't 706 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:39,400 Speaker 1: want to do is leave this money for people to 707 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:41,239 Speaker 1: just mess it up right, because we have to go 708 00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: back from and kill everybody. That that's just you know, 709 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:49,480 Speaker 1: because that's how we think. We're thinking, well, I don't 710 00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:51,200 Speaker 1: want to just leave it to him because then they're 711 00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,239 Speaker 1: gonna mess it up, and so we don't do anything. No. 712 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,520 Speaker 1: A trust is a business plan for what happens to 713 00:41:56,600 --> 00:41:59,759 Speaker 1: your money until your assets after you die. So that's 714 00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 1: term life. As you get a little more season, you 715 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:06,160 Speaker 1: may want to convert some of your insurance to whole life. 716 00:42:06,600 --> 00:42:10,800 Speaker 1: Whole life is life insurance that will last you a lifetime. 717 00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: You may have to pay it until you're sixty five 718 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,920 Speaker 1: years old, where you may pay it until your seventy 719 00:42:15,920 --> 00:42:19,719 Speaker 1: five or whatever your particular contract says, but then that 720 00:42:19,800 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 1: life insurance is in place until you pass on. And 721 00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 1: the good thing about whole life Rashaan is it's an 722 00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:31,600 Speaker 1: automatic built in savings plans. If you find yourself in 723 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:34,880 Speaker 1: a situation where you need money to buy a house, 724 00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:38,080 Speaker 1: you can handle the emergency to live off of you 725 00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:41,800 Speaker 1: can pull down the money that has been placed into 726 00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 1: that whole life saving portion. And then finally, universal There 727 00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:48,840 Speaker 1: are many different ways that you can use a universal policy, 728 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:51,520 Speaker 1: but the number one way is to have its following 729 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:55,000 Speaker 1: one of the top indexes in industries in the stock market. 730 00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:58,200 Speaker 1: So if you have a universal life policy and it 731 00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 1: is outperforming the SMPS five hundred, then what you can 732 00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: expect over time is that you're saving portion will grow, 733 00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 1: just like the stock market. So there are multiple ways. 734 00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,640 Speaker 1: But I say to everyone, at least get started with 735 00:43:11,680 --> 00:43:18,120 Speaker 1: an inexpensive term policy and then uh your policy you know, 736 00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,359 Speaker 1: as you go along. And I would agree, alright, like 737 00:43:20,360 --> 00:43:22,839 Speaker 1: I said, I've had the I have, I've not had. 738 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 1: I have a universal policy, and the interest rate has 739 00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:29,800 Speaker 1: been no lord in four percent in the last fifteen years. 740 00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:32,880 Speaker 1: So that means when it was zero or one percent 741 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: or no percent, I've always had four percent minimum guaranteed 742 00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:41,560 Speaker 1: on my money that I had in my universal or 743 00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: our whole policy. So she's telling the absolute truth. Yeah, 744 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,200 Speaker 1: and that's about a hundred times better than what you're 745 00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,919 Speaker 1: gonna get in a stage of account at the bank. 746 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,640 Speaker 1: It's about three times better than what you're gonna get 747 00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 1: buying bond. And um, it's a great, great way to 748 00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:59,319 Speaker 1: have something stable. Um. But also that's that's growing with 749 00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:01,680 Speaker 1: the stock market. I love it. Yeah. And another note 750 00:44:01,840 --> 00:44:03,840 Speaker 1: she can tell you is that if you if you 751 00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,360 Speaker 1: if you can actually do a loan against the money 752 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:09,040 Speaker 1: that you have, that so you actually can use your 753 00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:11,000 Speaker 1: money and not take it out, just take a loan 754 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,040 Speaker 1: against it. And so it's just so many ways why 755 00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:17,520 Speaker 1: this is important to have a conversation doing national financial 756 00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:19,920 Speaker 1: Literacy made because we as a community, you have to 757 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 1: understand you don't have to always you know, you can 758 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,319 Speaker 1: bar against your own money and then keep living a 759 00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,800 Speaker 1: great life instead of sitting over there playing high interest 760 00:44:27,880 --> 00:44:31,160 Speaker 1: rate or not being able to do anything because you're 761 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,040 Speaker 1: frustrated because you didn't think out the process. We'll be 762 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:42,200 Speaker 1: right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rashan McDonald.

It's about freedom right, we 793 00:46:27,480 --> 00:46:30,719 Speaker 1: got Eric, Eric and from College Park. How are you doing? Eric, 794 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,160 Speaker 1: I'm Finis McDonald. I'm glad I caught you. I didn't 795 00:46:34,200 --> 00:46:37,520 Speaker 1: think I would, but I heard Dr Lynn Richard some speak. 796 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:44,439 Speaker 1: She was talking to me, so I had the dollars level. Well, 797 00:46:44,440 --> 00:46:48,360 Speaker 1: what question you have for the incredible Dr levite speak? 798 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:54,000 Speaker 1: My friends? When she spoke about the uh SMP and 799 00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:56,760 Speaker 1: that I could invest, say fifty bucks a month or whatever, 800 00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:02,440 Speaker 1: I need to hear that one more time. Absolutely, yes, 801 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:06,160 Speaker 1: you can choose a license, a universal whole life insurance 802 00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:11,560 Speaker 1: policy that is connected to an index. So if you 803 00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 1: choose a fund, let's just say, for example, you have 804 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,600 Speaker 1: a brokerage account at Fidelity or charge SWAB or TVA, 805 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,799 Speaker 1: Merror Trade or each any one of them, go into 806 00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:27,520 Speaker 1: the research section and choose a fund that outperforms the 807 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:31,120 Speaker 1: S and P five hundreds, so you have a four 808 00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:34,440 Speaker 1: oh one K or if you have a life insurance policy, 809 00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,040 Speaker 1: then you have the ability to invest your money. You're 810 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:40,919 Speaker 1: gonna see a list of funds. Most of us don't 811 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,520 Speaker 1: know what that listings. Uh. It may see that. It 812 00:47:43,640 --> 00:47:47,719 Speaker 1: may say the Fidelity funds, It may save these Vanguard funds, 813 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:51,280 Speaker 1: and it'll have three or four letters. You take those 814 00:47:51,360 --> 00:47:54,719 Speaker 1: three or four letters, you put them into your research 815 00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 1: box and on the website, on your platform, and then 816 00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:03,680 Speaker 1: you repair compared to what you compared to the SMP 817 00:48:03,760 --> 00:48:08,480 Speaker 1: five hundred. If your fund performs better than the SMP 818 00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,880 Speaker 1: five hundred over the past twenty years. So I'm not 819 00:48:11,920 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 1: just giving you quick advice. Look at what it's done 820 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 1: over the past twenty years. If that fund out performs 821 00:48:17,600 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: the SMP five hundreds, what it means is it's going 822 00:48:20,840 --> 00:48:25,160 Speaker 1: to increase in value over time. Now we're making a 823 00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,959 Speaker 1: decision between two funds. Look at both funds and see 824 00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:32,720 Speaker 1: which one performed the best. So that's a very simple 825 00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:36,319 Speaker 1: way for anybody. I don't care who you are. You 826 00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:39,200 Speaker 1: don't have to have any investment knowledge to be able 827 00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:42,560 Speaker 1: to decide which funds should I choose, Because Rashawn, that's 828 00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 1: one of the things that gets most of us. We 829 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,600 Speaker 1: don't know what funds to choose for our four one kids, 830 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:53,320 Speaker 1: our whole propersonal life and so on. Yeah, while Erica, 831 00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: you know, just getting that information. If there is some 832 00:48:56,560 --> 00:49:00,200 Speaker 1: work you gotta go online. You know there's there's but 833 00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:03,680 Speaker 1: she's showing it. There's no magic bullet here. The information 834 00:49:03,800 --> 00:49:07,120 Speaker 1: is there. You just have to compare. And that's the 835 00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:13,640 Speaker 1: that's the part that really drives us maddening and maybe 836 00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:17,000 Speaker 1: angry because of the fact that we are We all 837 00:49:17,080 --> 00:49:20,960 Speaker 1: have cell phones. You know that cell phone. Just go 838 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:24,000 Speaker 1: to just go to to uh, just go to yourail. 839 00:49:24,239 --> 00:49:26,120 Speaker 1: You can look at it, looks into it. Now because 840 00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:28,919 Speaker 1: we're in a mobile society. So there's no excuse. Now 841 00:49:29,400 --> 00:49:31,280 Speaker 1: I don't have a computer, I don't have a laptop. 842 00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:34,280 Speaker 1: You have a cell phone, and that cell phone allows 843 00:49:34,320 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 1: you to do all the research. That cell phone allows 844 00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:40,400 Speaker 1: you to download apps. That cell phone allows you to 845 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:46,080 Speaker 1: actually run your financial enterprise. Let's think that big. You 846 00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:49,319 Speaker 1: are a financial enterprise. And if you think that way, 847 00:49:49,640 --> 00:49:52,440 Speaker 1: then guess what your mindset would change. And that's what 848 00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,520 Speaker 1: let Richardson is telling us. But I'm just telling you 849 00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:59,160 Speaker 1: the excuse of the old days. I don't I don't 850 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:01,799 Speaker 1: have the technology need to compete. I don't have the 851 00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,799 Speaker 1: ability to do the research. Yes you do. If you 852 00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,319 Speaker 1: called me on your mobile phone, if you're listening to 853 00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:10,120 Speaker 1: me on their phote phone, if you use your mobile phone, 854 00:50:10,360 --> 00:50:14,239 Speaker 1: you have the ability to compete. There are no excuses. 855 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:18,280 Speaker 1: Do what she's asking all she's doing is asking the listeners, 856 00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:24,800 Speaker 1: asking you Eric to do this. Okay. This is most 857 00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:28,120 Speaker 1: of the time when people ask me a question, I 858 00:50:28,239 --> 00:50:31,120 Speaker 1: give them a class and people say, well, then why 859 00:50:31,160 --> 00:50:34,200 Speaker 1: can't you just answer the question? Rashan, You know there's 860 00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:37,319 Speaker 1: no such thingers just answering the question. You have to 861 00:50:37,400 --> 00:50:40,440 Speaker 1: learn how to get your money straight, and then you 862 00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,560 Speaker 1: have to learn how to keep your money straight. Okay, 863 00:50:43,600 --> 00:50:46,359 Speaker 1: because more money doesn't solve a money problem. If it did, 864 00:50:46,480 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 1: millionaires wouldn't go bankrupt. There are too many stories of 865 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 1: people who get money and they lose it because they 866 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: did not do the work to get it, nor did 867 00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:57,200 Speaker 1: they do the work to keep it. So education is 868 00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 1: the key, and we need to move from knowledge to 869 00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:04,520 Speaker 1: action because knowledge is not power. People say knowledge is power. No, 870 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:08,000 Speaker 1: knowledge is not power until it is put into action. 871 00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,360 Speaker 1: You are how do okay?
