You should Definitely trade your time for money starting out. You could then save, build an emergency fund, pay down debts and look for an investment or start a business on the side, but WHILE you're still working. That way if the business or investment fails, you still have the safety net of your job to fall back on. Semi-passive income exists (rental income, dividends, money from a business, etc.) but it takes years to build to the point you can then stop trading your time for money.

If you got multiple fillings on the same side of your mouth they probably squeezed it into the same 30 minute appointment. The cost of a general dentist's office is all overhead (rent etc) and capital (one opetory probably cost $100K up front). Once that's covered, profit margins are enormous.

He could've saved up cash in savings accounts, then deployed it every few years when the market gets jittery, into REITs and preferred shares. Lock in 8-11% yields (normally 4-6%) and ride the rebounds upward to small capital gains. Takes a few months of practice and then you can allocate 1 hour per month to checking and seeing if your watchlists have anything interesting on them. Though, when the market sells off, it does become a part time job for a bit. If you aren't allocating 4 hours per day to the market during a crash, to deal hunt and find safe stocks selling off irrationally, then you're possibly not putting enough effort in.

Remember also that you will earn less salary than your US co-workers by being outsourced 80% of the time (If you are Brazilian like me, I suppose).

I do agree with you! There is plenty of passive income, but you will always need active income to set up the passive income stream. It is important to spend some time setting up your stock/real estate first. Like the example of the dentist setting up some stock portfolio. If this is done well, it won’t require almost any time to keep it going, so the eventual payback will be huge over time, as the portfolio gets bigger, both from growth, and markets bonuses. This is the benefit of compound interest, and it’s definitely worth doing in the long run. Needless to say this is NOT what the online wealth bro's are selling, so you do have to ignore many financial channels to get the actual passive income.

true but there used to be this trade and for many it actually worked. work at this job that everyone hated for let say 2 years and then you made so much money your could take this job you liked more, if you was frugent and put every paycheck into a saving account (whit decent/okey rate) you could even retire after 3 years there and some did.... did take discipline. now if you took the money from the 2 years and blew it on hockers and rolete that was a net loss for you. problem is today your given two option take this job you hate and make enouth for rent but no growth or take this job you like and after 5 month be bankrupt. another I hear is the Just invest 1 usd a month the compost intrest will mean your still on top. ods are it will not if you put 1 usd a month into the correct investment account every month from when you was 10 years old (12 usd a year). when your 30 (12x20 = 240 you put in) would have grown to maybe 300 if your lucky. sure we are sold a return rate of like 9% problem is that number requires a investment of 100 of dolars ever month every single month every year for several years. after that just inflation will turn that 9% into -5%.

I generally agree. One thing I would say is the the 'hunt' for passive income can yield results in terms of people actually saving. Many people don't do anything so if they're motivated by the lure of 'passive income' they might actually change the way they look at money and saving. Which might ultimately lead them to your channel and hence- knowledge.

Thank you for speaking out against that “work-shaming” culture. Mike Rowe from Dirty jobs once said in an interview, that buy shaming some professions and marking them undesirable we are reducing the potential job market and also those are good paying honest jobs and people should be praised for working them.

all you have to do to the people who say Don't sell your time is ask that person "How did you get into a position where you're NOT selling your time?"

The most toxic thing in our country is the ideology of "time...that I'll never get back..." Live in the moment. Use your time being happy. Im not "wealthy" by modern measures. I'm not motivated by money. And I don't regret how I use my time.

My favorite wallstreetbets comment was "you know you can buy more than one stock, right?" I think the same applies here. If you have time to sell, you might as well sell it, and if putting that money to work for you is a great way to make more money, then do that too. There's no rule that says you have to do either or. You might as well be saying "don't go to the dentist, take your car to the mechanic." Why not both?

I worked at that printing company for 5 years, learned everything I could about label printing and then started my own business. I just put in the effort to try my best at whatever I did and was able to learn enough to start my own business. No matter where you are in life, I believe, if you just honestly try your best things will look up eventually. P.S. I was a temp worker in the shipping department before I was receptionist.

All because they "didn't want to work for someone else". Get a 9-5 and do a bit of overtime for some extra cash. Your physical and mental health will thank you.

Time to auction my time on eBay to the highest bidder. Gonna block it out into 10 minute sections for the next 20 years. 🤗

On of my bosses at a job a few years ago was also moonlighting as an Uber driver. He was also a numbers nerd. We were sitting in a meeting room waiting for a meeting to start and he was working on his Uber spreadsheet. He broke down fuel costs, standard depreciation on his vehicle, etc. All told including tips he figured out he was making around $4.75 an hour, which is what I made at minimum wage in the mid 90s delivering pizzas (not counting tips). And this was a guy with a 6 figure developer income. Though is suspect that his motivations for doing it were more about being out of his house and away from his wife than the actual money. It was still enlightening to see what rideshare drivers made in a large city. I also know someone that’s a single mom that is currently doing Uber 10 hours a day in a car she leased from Uber. And is only making enough each month to pay the lease….

Don't sell your time for money.... Sell established titles lol

Learning everything the hard way, I've learned a couple details omitted by gurus: be at the right place at the right time; know the right people; be a salesman, even in your personal relationships. These are things i can't fully or directly control. Also, if you notice successful people (the how Joe Rogan circle is a good example) there are aLOT of famous people who knew each other or had a common thread in some way. The average person won't be able to do that, but they can create their own circles and always try to pay it forward as much as possible. It won't make you a millionaire, but then again, I'm not interested in millionaire problems.

I’ll take a reasonable chance of moderate success over a .00001% chance of being a billionaire any day.

I used to freelance a lot on the side from my day job. However I’ve found my time to be more valuable spending it doing things I want to do as I get older. I still do odd things here and there for extra bucks that I know are not the highest value use of my time, but are much less stressful than trying to do development jobs at 11pm before going to work the next day and do the same thing for your day job.

I think this video might’ve just made me a better business owner and to re-think what I’m using time for and what I need to outsource. Genuinely, Thank You.

For me, passive income is just something your transition to for retirement using the extra money you've saved up/invested. Technically, doing a job that pays out a good retirement benefit already ensures you passive income. It's crazy to me how oversold this concept of "passive income" is. It's quite impossible for the average person to manifest this idea without a good paying job (which is the easiest way to get a solid main income stream). I'm quite happy earning from my full-time job and just investing my excess money on 5% to 10% annual yielding assets. Nothing crazy like a 100% annual return. That's just the way it is. That's how passive income truly applies to the majority - slowly built up wealth over 20-40 years, supported by a well-paying job (or if you're fortunate, a traditional business). So passive income IS REAL. But like, at 20-50% and MAYBE 100% at retirement. 100% passive income pre-60s is only for the disgustingly rich. It won't work if you don't have enough money to make money. Just get a job and invest partially and intelligently.

The way i was taught, active income, passive income. When you start life you need to focus on active, as your life progresses you begin to move tward passive. By the time your unable to work your passive income should be enough to live on. Currently i earn enough dividend income to pay for food if need be, and that grows a little more each week.

The paradox is that people who want passive income are motivated by the prospect of making money without working for it, but to get to that point you have to frontload a ton of work. I'd wager almost no one that intentionally seeks passive income actually achieves it.

Learned this a couple years ago, there's the myth that people should just stop working n go to this " passive income " can be more of a headache than anything in some cases. Everything is some sort of exchange, really appreciate this video

For all the people who say, start your own business doing x, i point out that if i get a second job or work for an agency, i get paid more, paid consistently and without any risk than finding some nonsense crap to sell. I also point out that aggressively staying on top of your finances is like giving yourself free money. My car insurance was going to go up to £850 from £600 at renewal - nothing had changed. I don't pay no loyalty bonus, so thirty mins on a comparison site, a phone call to check some details and my new insurance was £500 for the year, same cover. Whether i saved myself £100 or £350, it's still a good return on that thirty mins. My parents reckon I've saved them about £4k since I started sorting out their ongoing finances like that.

So a business consists of some "nonsense crap to sell". What an ignorant statement. Keep wasting your time pinching a few pennies off your insurance, peasant.

Starting your business is also trading time for money. In some cases trading lots of time for no money. Investing, especially if you are doing day trade, is also practically full time job. Only real way of not trading your time for money is if you build company in which you have ownership but somebody else runs it and you just collect part of profit every year. Or if you inherit nice chunk of money, invest it in stable fund and live from dividend. Third is you sell company for enough money to last you the rest of your life.

Finally! I've always been wanting to say this to people and I'm glad you made this video.

I don’t care about trading time for money as long as the money is worth it.

“Don’t work just make others work for you”

TL;DR You need to GIVE something to GET something. You either give your time or a significant capital that will provide a significant service to get money.

Damn I’m so glad I found your channel

I’m really glad that the message of the video wasn’t “Passive income is a stupid idea and doesn’t work”, but “‘Don’t sell your time for money’ is stupid advice and nothing but a fantasy”. I love the idea of passive income, but even that involves selling your time (and money) for money. I don’t think it’s emphasized hard enough that passive income does NOT mean passive activity (even with dividend investing, you had to work for that money in your day job unless you are a wealthy trust fund baby), and passive income streams don’t grow fully formed on trees. I understand and fully support the advice of trying to transition your primary income away from your day job. The reliability of a job is, I think, quite overstated. But passive income IS the Holy Grail of finance….which means you’re unlucky to achieve it without significant investments of time, effort, expertise, and money, as well as flat out good luck (born poor? Guess what? Probably not gonna succeed in building reliable passive income). If it was so easy and just required “a little bit of hard work”, as all the online financial gurus say, everyone would just do it.

Overall great advice except for one thing, namely 7:55 - coding bootcamps *do not* increase your chances of landing a software engineering job. Actually, they slightly decrease it in most cases, because most of the courses are low quality and borderline scam, since while they often make promises about future employment, the specifics of the contract usually let them weasel out of this commitment. What does work though is applying for a job as e.g. manual tester or first line support - barrier to entry is much lower and the jobs have a clear career advancement path. You can pivot into programming later on, once you familiarize yourself with the work environment. Or just stay as a tester, because a good QA specialist is worth their weight in gold when you take into account the impact some bugs have on a businesses bottom line.
