37 regras do DINHEIRO que eu queria ter sabido aos 20 — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00I am 37 years old, and I spent my
- 0:02twenties making every financial mistake
- 0:04I can imagine. It took me 10 years to
- 0:07fix it all. So here are 37 truths about
- 0:10money, one for each year of my life. I
- 0:13really wish I had learned them all at
- 0:15age 20. Number one, the biggest lie we
- 0:19tell ourselves about money is: I'll
- 0:21manage my money better when I earn more
- 0:23. It's the opposite. You won't be able
- 0:25to earn more until you know how to
- 0:27manage what you already have. Even if
- 0:29you live on borrowed money, learn to
- 0:32manage it. Managing money is a skill.
- 0:35You can practice with a lot or with a
- 0:37little. Learn to take good care of $
- 0:39200 and you won't lose 2,000. Number
- 0:42two, earning money was never the
- 0:44problem. Remember your first paycheck?
- 0:47You lived on it. Now you earn double,
- 0:49maybe triple. So, where is the money?
- 0:53With every raise, you upgrade your
- 0:54standard of living. Your income climbs
- 0:56the stairs, but your lifestyle takes
- 0:58the elevator. This is called lifestyle
- 1:01inflation. If you want financial
- 1:03freedom, maintain your standard of
- 1:05living and invest the difference.
- 1:07Number three, the more you rely on your
- 1:10discipline, the more money you lose. If
- 1:12you have to decide to save every month,
- 1:14you might end up saving no month at all
- 1:16. So, eliminate the decision, automate
- 1:19it. As soon as your paycheck hits your
- 1:21account, 200 goes straight to savings
- 1:24before you see the money. No willpower,
- 1:26no "next month." Number four. A
- 1:30positive result doesn't mean you made
- 1:32the right decision. Your idiot friend
- 1:35drives drunk home, goes to bed, and
- 1:37sleeps like a baby. Another friend
- 1:39drives sober, gets hit by a truck, and
- 1:41ends up in the hospital. The only
- 1:42difference between them is luck. It’s
- 1:44the same thing with money. You can make
- 1:47a good decision and still lose.
- 1:49Therefore, evaluate the decision, not
- 1:52the result. Want to know if a decision
- 1:53is good? Think about what would happen
- 1:56if you repeated it 50 times in a row.
- 1:58Drive drunk 50 times and you end up
- 2:01dead. Invest every month, never sell
- 2:04your investments, and get rich. Number
- 2:06five, diversifying too soon keeps you
- 2:09broke. If you make $ 200 with three
- 2:12side hustles, you don't have multiple
- 2:14income streams, you have three
- 2:16distractions. Amazon started only with
- 2:19books, Facebook only with college
- 2:22students. Build something that
- 2:24generates a good income. Then diversify
- 2:27. Diversifying is for staying rich, not
- 2:32for getting rich. Number six.
- 2:35Multiplying your income by 10 can be
- 2:38easier than doubling it. I know it
- 2:40sounds absurd, but stick with me.
- 2:42Doubling your income just means doing
- 2:44more of the same. The same job, more
- 2:46hours. The same clients, more nights
- 2:49working. You remain the bottleneck, and
- 2:52your day still has only 24 hours.
- 2:55Multiplying your income by 10 like that
- 2:57is impossible. So you are forced to
- 2:59change. You need to create something,
- 3:02sell something, bring others in. This
- 3:04doesn't mean working harder; it means
- 3:06working differently. Small goals keep
- 3:09you on the same path. Big goals force
- 3:11you to change. Number seven, you don't
- 3:14need money to make money. In '99, a guy
- 3:17named Nick wanted to sell shoes online,
- 3:20but he had no money, no inventory, and
- 3:22no shoes. He visited a shoe store, took
- 3:25photos of the products, and put them on
- 3:27a website. When an order came in, he
- 3:30ran to the store, bought the shoes at
- 3:32full price, and shipped them. He lost
- 3:34money on every single sale. On purpose,
- 3:37he just wanted to find out one thing.
- 3:40Would someone pay for shoes without
- 3:41being able to try them on? And the
- 3:43answer was yes. That site became Zappos
- 3:46. Amazon bought it for 1.2 billion
- 3:50dollars. Nick didn't need money to
- 3:54start; he needed an answer, and he got
- 3:56it for the price of a pair of shoes.
- 4:00You don't need money to make money; you
- 4:02need a customer. Number eight. I used
- 4:06to think an easy opportunity was a good
- 4:08opportunity. If someone said in a video
- 4:11, "I make 10,000 a month on YouTube," I
- 4:13wanted in too. Except 10,000 other
- 4:16people had seen that same video and
- 4:18were thinking the same thing. If anyone
- 4:21with a laptop can copy your business in
- 4:24a day, your competition grows too fast.
- 4:27I was looking for easy money when I
- 4:29should have been learning to solve
- 4:31harder problems. Difficulty is the
- 4:34opportunity. Not just being difficult
- 4:37for the sake of it. I'm talking about
- 4:39problems that people truly need to
- 4:41solve. Costly ones, frustrating ones—
- 4:45the ones most people give up on. Number
- 4:49nine, you won't get rich selling your
- 4:51time. Even a surgeon who makes 20,000
- 4:54per surgery can have problems if every
- 4:56cent depends on them working. If they
- 4:59get sick and don't show up on Monday,
- 5:00the money doesn't show up either. So,
- 5:03stop thinking about how to earn more
- 5:05per hour. Think about something that
- 5:07generates income while you sleep. A
- 5:10business, an equity stake in someone
- 5:12else's business, or investments. Number
- 5:1510. The best investment for your first
- 5:181,000 isn't in stocks, gold, or Bitcoin
- 5:21; it's in yourself, in your ability to
- 5:23make money. Put that money in an index
- 5:26fund and, if you're lucky, a year later
- 5:28you'll have $ 100 more. Invest in
- 5:31learning something people are willing
- 5:33to pay for, like managing ads or fixing
- 5:35air conditioners. In 12 months, this
- 5:39skill could have earned you 5,000,
- 5:41maybe 10,000. And no one can steal your
- 5:44knowledge. Inflation doesn't devalue it
- 5:46, and it keeps paying off year after
- 5:49year. Number 11. Maybe you don't have
- 5:52money, but you're rich in one resource.
- 5:55Time. I've already wasted a lot of time
- 5:57. I once spent a whole afternoon
- 5:59carrying bags of empty bottles back to
- 6:02the store. I came home with 3 in my
- 6:05pocket and a sore arm. I bet you've
- 6:08done something like that too. Waiting a
- 6:11whole hour in line for free ice cream.
- 6:13Going to another store to save a few
- 6:15cents on tomatoes. But think about it,
- 6:19you could use that time to learn a
- 6:21skill that could pay you $ 40 an hour
- 6:23for the rest of your life. We always
- 6:26seek the highest possible return on an
- 6:29investment. We should start with our
- 6:32time. Number 12. That guy who just
- 6:36passed you in a Lamborghini just showed
- 6:38he has 300,000 less in his bank account
- 6:40. True wealth is invisible. Investments
- 6:45earning compound interest. A paid-off
- 6:48house, the savings that guarantee your
- 6:50freedom. Deep down, no one admires the
- 6:53man in that car. People just imagine
- 6:55themselves in his place. So, the next
- 6:58time you want to buy something to look
- 7:00rich, use the money to buy something
- 7:02boring, but that actually makes you
- 7:04wealthy. Number 13. Ask the barber if
- 7:07you need a haircut. The answer will
- 7:10always be yes. Not because you really
- 7:12need it, but because that's how he pays
- 7:14his rent. Charlie Munger said it best.
- 7:17Show me the incentive and I will show
- 7:19you the result. So, before following
- 7:22someone's advice, find out how they
- 7:24make their money. And that includes me
- 7:26and this channel. Don't believe me just
- 7:29because I sound confident. Put the
- 7:31lesson to the test. Stick with what
- 7:33works. Pay attention to the incentives.
- 7:36They explain almost everything. Number
- 7:3814. You will be wrong most of the time.
- 7:41And that's okay. Products, business
- 7:44ideas, YouTube videos; launch 10 and
- 7:47nine will fail. You don't need 10
- 7:50successes, you only need one. One big
- 7:53win makes up for all the mistakes and
- 7:55then some. Fail nine times. Just don't
- 7:58spend too much on the mistake. Number
- 8:0015. Follow your passion. It's one of
- 8:04the worst career pieces of advice that
- 8:06exists. I didn't even know what my
- 8:09passion was until I was 25. Follow your
- 8:12talent. Talent is what you do with ease
- 8:15, but others find difficult. Steve Jobs
- 8:19loved calligraphy, but he didn't become
- 8:21a calligrapher. His talent was creating
- 8:23products that people wanted. So he
- 8:26incorporated calligraphy into the Mac.
- 8:29That's why the fonts on your screen
- 8:30look so beautiful today. Passion was
- 8:33the ingredient, talent was the
- 8:36profession. Actually, passion usually
- 8:39only appears after you get good at
- 8:41something, not before. Number 16. You
- 8:46are going to lose money. Everyone loses
- 8:48. The difference is what happens next.
- 8:51An average person loses 2,000 and never
- 8:54invests again. A millionaire loses
- 8:57200,000. They sit down, analyze what
- 9:00went wrong, and start over. It's not
- 9:04the loss that destroys you, it's the
- 9:06paralysis of fear. Number 17. You can
- 9:11be the most dedicated person in a dying
- 9:14industry and still lose, or be average
- 9:16in a growing industry and win. An
- 9:19average person who entered the tech
- 9:21field in 2010 got richer than someone
- 9:24brilliant who joined a newspaper that
- 9:26same year. Same effort, same hours,
- 9:29different waves. So, before thinking
- 9:32about working harder, look at which
- 9:34wave you are on. Is it rising or
- 9:37falling? Choose the wave first, then
- 9:39worry about the surfboard. Number 18.
- 9:42You can create your own luck. Luck is
- 9:45just a numbers game. Someone who made
- 9:48100 YouTube videos has a much better
- 9:50chance of getting lucky than someone
- 9:52who made five. This also applies to
- 9:54business, relationships, opportunities,
- 9:56and almost everything in life. You
- 9:58can't force luck to appear, but you can
- 10:01give it more chances to find you.
- 10:03Number 19. A portion of your money
- 10:06needs to sit idle. That's because when
- 10:09your car breaks down or you lose your
- 10:11job, bills don't wait for your
- 10:12investments to recover. Without a
- 10:15reserve, you might have to sell your
- 10:17investments at the worst time or rack
- 10:19up credit card debt for months.
- 10:21Therefore, keep a part of your money in
- 10:23a safe place with easy access. Number
- 10:2620. While you have little money
- 10:28invested, seeking high returns is a
- 10:31waste of time. With 5,000, the
- 10:33difference between a 10%and 12%return
- 10:36is only 100 per year. Skipping a night
- 10:39out is enough to get that amount. But
- 10:42with 1 million, those same 2%represent
- 10:4520,000 per year. So, while your net
- 10:48worth is still small, don't try to
- 10:50squeeze out more return. Increase your
- 10:52net worth first, save, and earn more.
- 10:55Try to squeeze out maximum returns once
- 10:57you have a truly significant net worth.
- 11:00Number 21. The unluckiest investor in
- 11:03the world retired a millionaire.
- 11:06Let’s call him Bob. Bob only invested
- 11:08at the worst possible times. He
- 11:11invested his savings right before the
- 11:131973 crash, when the market fell nearly
- 11:1550%. He saved up again and invested in
- 11:201987, just before Black Monday. In 2000
- 11:25, again at the height of the dot-com
- 11:27bubble, and in 2007 he invested right
- 11:29before the financial crisis. Four
- 11:32investments, four historic market
- 11:35crashes. But Bob had one rule: he never
- 11:38sold. The man who only bought stocks at
- 11:42their highest price still retired a
- 11:44millionaire because he never sold.
- 11:49Number 22. Be a coward with 90%of your
- 11:52money and a madman with the other 10%.
- 11:55At Cintalab, they call this the Barbell
- 11:58strategy. Imagine heavy weights on one
- 12:00side, a small weight on the other, and
- 12:02nothing in the middle. The heavier side
- 12:04, with 90%, is safe and boring. Index
- 12:07funds, emergency savings. The smaller
- 12:10side is risky and bold. A business idea
- 12:12, something with the potential to
- 12:14multiply your value by 50. If the risky
- 12:18bets go wrong, you lose 10%. That’s
- 12:21fine. But if one of them succeeds, it
- 12:23can change your life. The coward keeps
- 12:26you in the game. The madman makes you
- 12:28rich. Number 23. Stop stressing over
- 12:32saving five bucks. Your coffee won’t
- 12:35define your financial future. Your rent
- 12:37will, your insurance will. Your car
- 12:40payments definitely will. Negotiate
- 12:43those expenses. Half an hour
- 12:45negotiating with your landlord or
- 12:47insurer is worth more than going 10
- 12:49years without your coffee. Fix your big
- 12:52expenses once and for all. Number 24.
- 12:56If someone can't explain their
- 12:58investment to a 9-year-old, don't
- 13:00invest with them. Every financial scam
- 13:03you've ever heard of was complicated.
- 13:05It’s in the complexity that they hide
- 13:07the part where you lose money. Number
- 13:1025. The best investment isn't the one
- 13:13that pays the most, it's the one that
- 13:15lets you sleep at night. It doesn't
- 13:17matter how much your friend made. If an
- 13:20investment makes you lose sleep and
- 13:22check your phone in the middle of the
- 13:24night, it’s not right for you,
- 13:25because those who lose sleep always end
- 13:27up selling at the worst time. Number 26
- 13:30. Don't day trade. Most people who day
- 13:34trade lose money over time. Maybe
- 13:37you've already tried it. You made a few
- 13:40trades, even won a little, but that
- 13:42small victory is a trap. That’s how a
- 13:45casino works. First, it lets you win.
- 13:49The financial market is a great place
- 13:51to invest and a terrible place to
- 13:52gamble. Are you investing or gambling?
- 13:56Number 27. Making money and keeping it
- 13:59require opposing skills. Making it
- 14:02requires optimism, courage, and risk.
- 14:05Whoever starts a business needs to
- 14:07believe it will work. Keeping money
- 14:10requires caution, humility, and a bit
- 14:12of paranoia. Those who want to preserve
- 14:15their wealth need to believe they could
- 14:18lose it all in a week. The same person,
- 14:21two different mindsets. Earn like an
- 14:24optimist, protect like a pessimist.
- 14:27Number 28. Inflation reduces the value
- 14:30of your savings each year, but it also
- 14:31reduces the real value of debt. Keep
- 14:34money under your mattress and inflation
- 14:36will erode your purchasing power. Take
- 14:38out a fixed-interest loan to buy
- 14:40something that generates income, like
- 14:42an apartment to rent or a small
- 14:43business. Inflation erodes the real
- 14:46value of the debt while the asset grows
- 14:48. On one side, someone loses; on the
- 14:50other, someone wins. I’m not telling
- 14:52you to go into debt. It’s not for
- 14:55financing an expensive car, much less
- 14:57racking up credit card debt. I’m
- 14:59saying you need to understand which
- 15:01side of inflation you are on. Most
- 15:02people don't even know there are two
- 15:04sides. Number 29. There is a limit to
- 15:09how much you can save, but not to how
- 15:11much you can earn. No one wakes up
- 15:14excited thinking: "What a wonderful day
- 15:16to save $ 10." Focus your energy where
- 15:19there is no limit. Ask for a raise.
- 15:22Learn a skill that pays better. Create
- 15:24an extra source of income. Cut the
- 15:26waste, but don't base your entire plan
- 15:29on spending less. Number 30. Never lend
- 15:33money to friends. You lose the money
- 15:36and the friend. It works like this.
- 15:38Your friend needs $ 500 just until
- 15:41payday. Payday comes, and nothing. Two
- 15:44weeks later, they post photos at a
- 15:46restaurant. Now, every time you see
- 15:49them, you don't think about them, but
- 15:51about the $ 500 they owe you. If
- 15:54someone you love really needs help,
- 15:56offer what you can without expecting
- 15:58anything back. Give it as a gift or say
- 16:02no, but never lend. Number 31. Good
- 16:08financial advice can be terrible for
- 16:10you. Remember when I said that
- 16:12diversifying keeps you broke? That's
- 16:15true when you're starting out, but it's
- 16:17terrible advice when you already have 5
- 16:20million. The rules of the game change
- 16:23as you grow. So, whenever you hear
- 16:25financial advice, ask one question: at
- 16:27what level is this person? Number 32. A
- 16:31person who invests for 10 years can
- 16:33outperform someone who invests for 30.
- 16:36Imagine your friend starts at 20,
- 16:38putting $ 200 a month into an index
- 16:40fund for 10 years. You start at 30,
- 16:43invest the same $ 200 a month, and
- 16:45continue until you’re 60. Triple the
- 16:48time, triple the money invested. And
- 16:51guess what? At 60, they still have more
- 16:53money than you. They weren’t smarter,
- 16:56they just started earlier. Their money
- 16:59had more time to grow on its own. That
- 17:01is the power of compound interest. You
- 17:03can’t go back to 20 to start
- 17:05investing, but tomorrow will already be
- 17:07later than today. Number 33. Reaching
- 17:11your financial goal might not make you
- 17:13feel rich. Whoever earns 2,000 a month
- 17:15dreams of earning five. Whoever hits
- 17:18five starts dreaming of 10. The finish
- 17:20line moves every time you get close.
- 17:23That’s why you always feel like
- 17:25you’re falling behind. Instead,
- 17:27measure your success by looking back.
- 17:30The life you have today was once your
- 17:32dream. You just got used to it. Number
- 17:3534. You don’t have to be rich to have
- 17:38financial freedom. Financial freedom is
- 17:41passive income high enough to cover
- 17:43your monthly expenses. Imagine one day
- 17:45you have a small apartment in the city.
- 17:48You rent that apartment for $ 1,200 a
- 17:50month and move to a place where the
- 17:52cost of living is $ 1,000. The rent
- 17:55pays all your expenses and you still
- 17:57have $ 200 left over. Achieve your
- 18:00freedom first, get rich later. Number
- 18:0335. The traditional life plan is to
- 18:07work five days a week for 40 years at
- 18:09something that drains your energy so
- 18:11that at 65 you finally start to live.
- 18:15Think about it. You trade your best
- 18:17years for free time, exactly at the age
- 18:20when you no longer have the energy. So
- 18:23stop thinking you’ll only live way
- 18:24down the road. Live now. A well-planned
- 18:28, paid-for week of vacation this year
- 18:30is worth more than 20 years of freedom
- 18:33at 65 that you might never have. Number
- 18:3736. Money doesn't change people. A
- 18:40generous person who is poor becomes a
- 18:42generous person who is rich. A jerk who
- 18:45is poor becomes a jerk with a Mercedes.
- 18:49If you are unhappy with 2,000 a month,
- 18:51you will remain unhappy with 20,000.
- 18:54Money solves financial problems, it
- 18:56doesn't solve your personal problems.
- 18:59Number 37. When it comes to money, you
- 19:02are on your own. No one is coming to
- 19:05save you. Your bank profits more from
- 19:07your mistakes. Your boss needs you to
- 19:09depend on that paycheck. They have no
- 19:11interest in seeing you achieve your
- 19:13financial freedom. Great. Now you can
- 19:17begin. These are the 37. Don't try to
- 19:20apply them all at once. Pick one and
- 19:22tell me which one you'll put into
- 19:24practice this week. And if you're new
- 19:26here, check out the playlist on your
- 19:27screen. It summarizes many useful books
- 19:30, and most of these 37 lessons came
- 19:32from them.
