Working for money is the first step.

Making money work for you is the ultimate step.

++A Thread about Investing++
One of the best feelings in the world is going to bed at night with cash in money-generating investments.

The world is different when you have no debts.

No debts = no worries.

The feeling compounds when your money is put to work.

Tension melts away.
Cash sitting in checking accounts is just money awaiting orders. Cash turned into depreciating assets (cars) is an army that is experiencing attrition.

Eventually, you will be left with no soldiers (think EU4).

Every dollar must be given an order. Lead.
I want to explore some scenarios.

Assume you are 25. No money invested.

Scenario 1: If you took $100 per month and placed it into a savings account it would be worth $55,000 in 40 years.

Thatโ€™s nice but not enough. The goal is independence.

We want more. Have standards.
Scenario 2: If you took $100 per month and invested in basic index funds. It would be worth roughly $700,000 in 40 years.

Thatโ€™s a lot of soldiers and $100 per month is not even a sacrifice. You can cut Cable TV and make that happen immediately.

It's bad for you anyway. Do it.
Scenario 3: Let's think BIG.

What if you became a badass and rebelled against society?

Letโ€™s assume you made a real effort to not be a sucka. What if you took $2K per month and invested it?

It would be worth over $12,000,000.

That's not a typo. That is generational wealth.
No deep esoteric knowledge is required.
No high-risk investments are even needed.
The only ingredient required is discipline.

Now you might be asking yourself, โ€œHow do I get started?โ€
Let me give you a tip.

Think of EVERYTHING from a net-worth perspective.

Net-worth trumps ALL financial statistics.

Why?

If your net-worth is allocated properly it can become the source of your income stream.
Take stock of your house.

PS4: $400
Sofa: $1200
Fancy iMac: $2500
Full-Size Truck: $50000

All of these are depreciating assets.

They will NEVER generate more soldiers. If you feel like you are not gaining traction you need to liquefy assets.

Have your assets work for you.
What do you do next?
There is more but it's on my blog...

The Five Ironclad Rules of Negotiation

Use these five rules or they will be used against you.

//Thread//
I LOVE negotiating.

Yes, I am that guy. I will negotiate just for fun.

Often, I just want to see what I can make happen.

Negotiating is like a game to me.

You never know what you can get until you try.ย 

So try.
1. Negotiate from Strength

Begin on solid ground. No debt. Have a pile of cash.

You never want to negotiate when you are desperate.

EVER

When you work from a position of strength you will be able to make offers that are non-negotiable.

This is the most important rule.

Seven Steps to Pay $0 a Year in Taxes.

LEGALLY

(Step 3 is so much fun)

//THREAD//
WARNING

These are my personal experiences.
They apply to those living in the United States.

If you live in a socialist country I suggest you leave.
Or change leadership.

Anyone can read this, but you will be unable to take full advantage. Countries have different tax codes.
STEP 1 - GET A REAL JOB

You need to have a real job to take advantage.
Level up.

You: But MT told me a 9-5 is for sheep.
AoP: Without a real job, you have no tax free money.

Make sure you get one with a 401K.

What to do even better?
Land a nice government job with a 457.

Smart and clever rules the world.

Manlets will rule the world.

//THREAD Image
Having a sense of humor is far more important than being six feet tall. We discussed this yesterday.

But, some said the best option is to have both.

WRONG

I would rather be short/average height.

Choosing the manlet path is a wise path.

Let me explainโ€ฆ Image
Ask yourself the question...

Would you rather be short and smart?

Or

Tall and dumb.

This is not a false dichotomy because anyone with a brain picks the first option. Image

The Art of Purpose

If you wish to find meaning in your life, read on.

//Thread
Most men never think about their purpose.
Most men are vapid and shallow.

They only care about fads and trends.
They follow a path defined by society.

Eat, sleep, wake up.
Rinse and repeat.

Thinking about life is too hard.
A life purpose is where life begins.
And a life mission is where you start.

Without a mission, others will direct the course of your life.

Trust me, these "other" people will not have your best interests in mind.

Broke to a Million

A Seven-Year Journey in Seven Steps

My story will make you wealthy.

//THREAD
I grew up in a typical middle-class family.

Money was not an important topic.

I had to learn everything on my own.ย 

You may be in a similar situation.

If you do not have the tools to begin, you must educate yourself.ย I will tell you my story.
Step 1: Educate Yourself

Here is a list of books that I personally recommend:

Think and Grow Rich
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Your Money or Your Life
Total Money Makeover
The Millionaire Next Door

In debt? Start with TTM.
If not read any of the others.

The Day I Became a Millionaire

On the day I made a million dollars, I realized the best lesson came from the first one.

//THREAD//
In my 20s, I had a negative net worth.

In my early 30s, it was $0.

One day I made a decision:
I am no longer going to be poor.

I am going to become wealthy.
I am going to make this happen.
I dedicated myself to the grind.

I knew life was in my hands.

I learned about stocks.
I learned about saving.
I learned about flipping.
I learned about side hustles.
I wanted every weapon at my disposal.

I will win.
