Saving is a scam...

                                                                                Did your mommy and daddy ever tell you…                                                                            
"A penny saved is a penny earned…''?                  
Well, just like with Santa… mommy and daddy lied to you.                                                 
The truth is: a penny saved is a penny wasted.                                                                       
Because money is useless until you use it…                                                                               
Otherwise it's just a stack of paper…or digits on a screen.                                                 
And if you've got money sitting in the bank… guess what?                                               
Inflation's killing it right now…                      
Savings accounts, retirement accounts, insurance accounts…                                              
They're some of the biggest scams on the planet.                                                                                                                                                    
Listen closely, you will never "save your way" to financial freedom.                                 
You won't.                                                                
It doesn't work that way.                                    
As Warren Buffet wisely said: ​​                        

If you don't find a way to make money while you sleep, you will work until you die.

The only way to get the financial freedom you dream of is to invest your money into assets that make you more money.               
And look, I was brought up poor.                      
Just like everybody else, mom and dad taught me to "work and save"...                        
They should have taught me to think about money like Pablo Escobar and his cocaine cartel… ( i am not telling you to sell drugs... just an example! )                       
…their biggest problem wasn't getting money, it was getting rid of it fast enough…                                                                            
Instead of teaching me "a penny saved…", I wish they'd taught me:                

Go make so much fucking money you can't possibly get rid of it all…

Because that's the secret to acquiring generational wealth and building a business empire.                                                      
Step 1: quit wasting your money…                
Quit dumping it into savings.
Quit blowing it on garbage.                               
Step 2: invest your money in real assets that are:                                                                    
1) tax deductible and
2) make you more money…                                   
Odds are, for you that means investing in yourself and your business.                              
I'd never spend $500 on a pair of shades…                                                                      
…but I'll invest $10 mil. renting a stadium for a 3-day event.                                                  
I don't buy clothes unless they're on sale…                                                                           
…but I invested $55 mil. in a jet so I can quickly go anywhere in the world whenever I want.                                                   
Want to get rich?                                                    
Invest in yourself.                                                   
Invest in your business.
