"Save money and invest" - parents always say this
Then you see Buffett drives a Polo and counts pennies
That's not the life you want
Here's how I got rich WITHOUT the suffering🧵👇
Let’s talk about how to escape the rat race and eventually live off passive income
Let’s talk about the base - the foundation of your wealth
You’ve heard of Warren Buffett
The investing icon. "Earn, save, invest - and you’ll be rich"
But Buffett is an old fart who drives a Polo and counts every penny
There is no way I would live like this if I want to live a fulfilling life
Then there’s always an influencer who earns $1M/month, spends 10K, travels once a year, tracks every penny
"Better eat crap now and drive a Bugatti later"
Honestly? That’s bullshit
"Later" might never come
Maybe you won’t even want that life
On the flip side, 80–90% of people live spending all they earn
“If I make more, I’ll start saving”
Reality? You’ll never get to the second part of this sentence
That approach won’t get you to financial freedom
The goal - something in between
Save, but don’t live like a hermit
You won’t save much on a $1000 income, so the main task is to increase income
Then you can both live better & save more
Let’s walk through a real example:
Now you make $1500, save $500
Later you make $5K, save $1-2K, spend $3-4K
Result -> better life + serious savings
But how do you earn more?
Heard of Pacman and Blur/Blast?
He’s a straight-up idol on making money from scratch
You’re (probably) not
So here’s your move:
• Find a niche you actually care about
• Become obsessed with learning everything
• Connect with the right people relentlessly
Connections = opportunities
A single connection with the right person can transform your life forever
Win-win strategy for everyone
So now you earn more, live better, save well
But save for what?
