1. 0:00The first time I went to the movies, it
2. 0:01was when I was 25 and I was already
3. 0:03making good money at the age of 22, 23.
4. 0:06But I was really like focused on my
5. 0:07goal. What I wanted to do is, you know,
6. 0:10earn, save, invest, compound. I didn't
7. 0:13care about lifestyle. People judged me.
8. 0:14People judged the clothes that I was
9. 0:16wearing at that time. They thought I was
10. 0:18kind of a crazy person, you know,
11. 0:19because I didn't go to the places they
12. 0:21wanted to go. In my head, I didn't care
13. 0:23about what people said. I cared about
14. 0:25the goal that I'm going to. I cared
15. 0:26about what is the number that I want to
16. 0:28achieve by the end of the year. And
17. 0:29that's all that mattered to me. And this
18. 0:31is the problem that I see with people
19. 0:33today. They make money and they go and
20. 0:35spend it in lifestyle.
21. 0:37>> And that lifestyle inflation.
22. 0:38>> Yeah, they spend it to please other
23. 0:40people. And this is very dangerous
24. 0:43because whatever money you make, you're
25. 0:44just going to keep spending it and
26. 0:46you're always going to feel that
27. 0:47financial stress. You're never going to
28. 0:49feel the financial freedom you're
29. 0:50thinking about.
