We are a 6 figure income couple and had very little saved and not much cash lying around the preverbal". '...don't have $500 for an emergency" that was us. The big thing was debt all kinds of it, cars mortgage (although our home isn't a high price one), student loans for our kids, and of course credit cards. One day we just got sick of being broke and went total scorched earth and became frugal overnight. Paid it all off, it took almost 5 years but now we have no debt and this year our savings rate is 50% on basically the same income that had us perpetually broke. So for us it is mainly staying out of debt and watching our spending, at first it was a real effort to save in our HISA and 401Ks but now it's actually fun watching our money grow. No car or vacation or neighborhood is worth being broke or financially unstable.

Becoming wealthy is truly transformative. It reshapes your interactions both with others and yourself. Your values and priorities undergo a profound shift. It's akin to claiming that assuming the role of president wouldn't alter you. Your choices impact a multitude of lives and circumstances. Simply being more candid with others due to newfound ability is a transformative shift. For me, confidence has surged, fear of expressing my thoughts has diminished. I now have the liberty to support various causes, individuals, or organizations. Possessing the means to replace items if they're damaged, stolen, or lost has made me less attached to material possessions. I've realized they don't yield the happiness I once thought. Essentially, I require less, desire less, and feel liberated. Money serves as a safety net, alleviating concerns about fines or accidents. I now treasure intangibles-health, well-being, love, friendship, and time-things money can't buy. Embracing the freedom money offers has been a source of joy and appreciation. Losing it all and reverting to a life of compliance, careful words, and respect rooted in financial dependence would be devastating.

I used to worry about status until I realized that there is SO much good you can do with money once you have it. Yes I want a nice house, yes I want a nice car or two...but not because of what it says about me. I like architecture, I love cars. And then what...you have your cornerstone "nice things" and now you can go wild helping humanity with your wealth. I think we are not only wired for status but also, and more so in my opinion, for hoarding.

I've never heard a more obviously false, stupid statement repeated by so many brainless sheep as that one.

That story of your dad charging you interest on your allowance at age 6 is legendary, your dad is the GOAT.

I’m ‘content instead of happy’ was the number one take* for me..at least 10 other mentions (are quotes) that I will be memorizing..incredible flow of conversation..one of the fastest hour’s being focused and engaged for me..A +

Wow I have watched so many podcast and so many other videos but the value I got from this particular video is unmatchable. Thanks for making such deep content really inspired by you and hope one day I'll also provide value to other people in form of content ❤

Such a profound talk. Thank you Mark, thank you Morgan. Best investment of my hour

Contentment is a state of mind that has got nothing to do with money. Sure it may help up to a level, but contentment can come without money. And that contentment is true wealth.

In my opinion, a housing market crash is imminent due to the high number of individuals who purchased homes above the asking price despite the low interest rates. These buyers find themselves in precarious situations as housing prices decline, leaving them without any equity. If they become unable to afford their homes, foreclosure becomes a likely outcome. Even attempting to sell would not yield any profits. This scenario is expected to impact a significant number of people, particularly in light of the anticipated surge in layoffs and the rapid increase in the cost of living.

I suggest you offset your real estate and get into stocks, A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying, cash isn’t king at all in this time!

"The opposite of poverty is not wealth. The opposite of poverty is enough." - Dr. Wess Stafford

Top Moments for me. Hence I can come back to this video and rewatch them. 39 Key Points for me to look back upon. 1) 1:38 humans are wired for status not happiness [oh my goodness. Hence W is the other way round] 2) 2:31 money is the scorecard for many people. Anxiety in society. It is all relative. Pull up to traffic lights in a fancy car. No one cares because everyone nearby has one. They all cost more than yours. 3) 4:18 I value humour and wisdom. How do you measure this? You can’t [yes you can. Track every joke. When talking to someone, when they say wise words, write it all down.] 4) 4:41 Measurement invites comparison. Be careful what you measure. [External metrics can be harmful] 5) 5:55 People chase what is so easy to measure [ chasing the wrong metrics. People compare all the time. This is toxic. Hamster wheel. ] 6) Audience capture 6:33 reflect back to public what they want to hear. 7) Longevity 7:24 I am not interested in anything that is not sustainable. If I cannot do this forever, I am not interested. Wow. 8) 8:59 What is sustainable is what you should be chasing. Hence title of his book ‘Same as Ever’ 9) 10:58 Once you have ‘fuck you’ money and ‘fuck you’ status, your personality comes out. 10) Dopamine 11:35 it is just this neuro-chemical we are chasing. I have $100. Now I have $200. [Connect this to Andrew Huberman: the currency that we all care about is dopamine. It is not money. It is the feeling of pleasure when we do tasks. Dopamine can be released by us doing many things.] 11) Joke. Oh my goodness. 13:13 If Bill Gates [100 billion] woke up with Oprah’s money [3 billion], he’d jump out the window. 12) Perspective Story Money by Jimmy Caynes: Bank is Bear Sterns: Before he was worth 1 billion. After Bear Sterns went bankrupt in 2008, he is worth 100 million. He lost 90% of his worth. He said: When you go from 1b to 100m, it is only your heirs that suffer. This is phenomenally brilliant. This is such a rare response. 13) Wisdom Social Currency: 18:12 People do not want new info. They want their view validated by others. 18:50 Choose your own adventure. 14) 21:31 No point trading. Index fund long-term 15) 22:50 Over-confidence effect. Barrier of entry is too low. Hence everyone thinks they can do it. 16) 23:33 Because luck exists, people think they can do it. Life lesson: careful if you get lucky early on. 17) Long Term Success 26:00 Every parent’s goal is not to raise good kids, but to raise good adults. I want my kids to be good functioning adults. A way to do that is if they really value a dollar. They will not do this if we spoil the hell out of them. 18) Money made me less happy 27:27 According to Mark, it made him less happy as it made his life more complex. This leads to the Hidden Costs of Wealth 28:28. 19) Social Debt 29:00 with every dollar of wealth, you get social debt. People expect u to pay at dinner. Professional 19-year-old said this astute idea: When you sign a 10 million dollar contract, when you grow up in poverty, this is not your money. It is your mum’s money, your dad’s your friends, all the people who helped you’s money. 20) Uncountable: 30:27 it is easy to count your net-worth but social debt is obscure. People don’t even know it. 21) Timeless Advice: Your life is better, simpler, you are happier if your life is less complex. 22) Wrong Word: 32:28 It is not that money cant make your life better. Happiness is the wrong word. The right word is contentment. 23) Reversal Language Application: Old Man Manson: 32:58 Money does not buy happiness. It buys away unhappiness. [1 of the top things I’ve learned so far] 24) Wealth shift: 34:03 Wealth moves your problems from external to internal. MH: There is an ideal net worth. Beyond this, life becomes too complex. In Warren’s biography, he devoted all of his time to picking stocks at the expense of his relations with people. Among the 10 richest people, 15 have had divorces. If you are that successful in your career, your life is too complex. 25) 80/20 advice on money for Morgen’s children: KZread markets to my son 37:00 and his lists of wants is enormous. [this is gigantic self-awareness by Morgan]. When kids watch Mr Beast, their definition of success is giving away money and driving cars. Lots of the internet is geared to materialistic wealth whereas I grew up on Ninja Turtles. My son lives such a good life. But he does not know it because his expectations are too high. It is not enough because this other kid has something else. When I saw this, I know how easy it is to spoil them. I can see tinges of my son become spoiled too quickly at 38:05. 26) Money Mind 41:53 if you have this from age 5, no one needs to tell you to save and invest. 42:24 At 16, I was saving half my pay-check and I was not sure why. 27) Incentive to want books 44:00 Mark’s parents would only buy him books. Hence this incentivised him to want books because they were free. [This is so clever]. 28) Morgen’s Arc: I had the opposite education experience. Competitive skier. 46:20 Right complement by the teacher in the right moment. Psychology class. 46:40 It is easy to underestimate what the right complement can do for a person to push them in the right moment. 29) Counter-teacher comment 48:00 There is a counter. It is easy to underestimate if you are a teacher that you should not tell a student ‘you are not good enough’ because this hurts their confidence. 30) 49:42 Focus all your efforts on what will not change. 50:04 Jeff quote 31) 51:20 Psych of money is solo. Same as ever is for our collective. It was so much fun to write [Wow. Vital to hear this from Morgan. If the journey was fun, the outcome should be fun for the consumers] 32) Schopenhauer 51:59 The wise have said the same. The fools have done the opposite. 33) Mark 52:36 What will be the new paradigm? People value connections to others. 34) Leverage and Respect 54:29 A book is 1 to 10 years of someone’s life. Whenever I walk into a shop, you can see all the effort put in. 35) Best and Worst thing 55:39 about someone = Warren is a stock picker but family life was not optimal. 36) Honesty 55:25 I am a people-pleaser. I hate confrontation. I go out of my way to please everyone around me. 37) Bitcoin brings out the worst in people 59:35 in the majority of people. I have watched myself get sucked in to the crypto world. 38) 1:01:35 dollar cost average for decades. This is my plan. Polygamy for all of them. 39) Compliments: I have admired you for years as a writer 1:01:55. Mark read this in one sitting 1:02:10 Incredible video by Mark and Morgen !!

Heyy Mark, I love your podcast and all of your books. Would it be possible to time mark the conversations or topics talked in the podcast it helps greatly. Thanks.

Wealth is "a plentiful resource", money buys lots of resources under most circumstance, thats why "love" is a subjective fickle niche resource thats only correlated to money...not caused by money.

Goosebumps on the teacher talk! It resonates, and I don't even teach.

This was truly a great podcast. Two genuinely great guys that are giving tons of knowledge and value. You guys are awesome, thank you.

I watched the whole interview before realizing that this is the guy that wrote the Psychology of Money. So I guess I have to buy his next book, too. I gave the book to my son and he has a paid-for car, money in an interest bearing savings account and I’m so proud of him. This book really made an impact.

I was a bit disappointed. I have the book to read and thought it would’ve been someone who had actually made money rather than made it from the book.

I like Mark and his guests a whole bunch and think he generally adds a lot of value, but If I hear another wealthy person opine that money doesn't matter, and there are a whole bunch of negatives to being wealthy, I will gag on my monitor: -.

The podcasts are great Mark. I feel super invested in the conversations. Keep it up!

Daamn I love Morgan...He's probably the best communicator I've ever listened to. I'd listen to anything he does..even a bed time story!

I would love to see an episode unpacking what "real wealth" even is. And how it's completely unrelated to money.

Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

I resonate greatly with the last comment, "Psychology of Money is the last book, I read in one sitting.", since it's the only book in the last couple of years where I did the same 😇

I'd gladly take the "social debt" that can result from being rich over everything that comes with being poor.

@inaxsesable

Ай бұрын

Can you character handle saying no? It seems to me that social debt leaves you in a worse position than before the money. Look at lottery winners being in more debt afterwards than before, etc.

For many people that build up their wealth, the 'social debt' aspect will only arise if they advertise the fact that their NW (or income) has increased. An NBA player who signs a contract probably can't keep that confidential (so unavoidably experiences 'social debt') but most people simply choose to let other people know about their increases income or wealth. There is nothing to stop you from keeping for increased income or wealth to yourself, which will avoid any problem with friends or relatives (or total strangers) expecting something from your income/wealth. It is a lot easier to do so if you don't let your increased income/wealth change your lifestyle/toys etc. so it doesn't become obvious to others that you have a lot of money.

Is hard to have 5 million in the b bank and not but a property or a new car. Or pay for the drinks, meals more often than usual. Or have a sense of pride, confidence that wasnt there when you were broke. Things we do can be picked up by close friends. That is what begins to give it away.

being a retail trader is not a bad idea but like he said if you want to be a doctor you have to put in the time to learn.. which is the key to everything.. time and education

Mark adds so incredibly much value with his channel and podcast - thank you 😃

Income/earnings have always been a scorecard to my abilities as an entrepreneur. Nothing more. Sure, it’s great to have money and I wouldn’t want to be broke but the journey to wealth, particularly making it happen with my wife and close friends was the real reward.

Me watching this knowing it will never apply to me. It’s not about getting rich for most of us. It’s about having somewhere to live, gas and food and be able to occasionally splurge. People want to be able to survive and maybe an extra here and there.

That's such a shame though. There are millions of people with so much potential, but for whatever reason the incentives of capitalism aren't enough to drive them to achieve the best version of themselves. We need other incentives in America besides money, that's not motivation enough for so many people with so much potential to do big thing who just coast through life doing the bare minimum.

Read your book & now I'm here for the YT channel. New subbie. You are very impressive, Mark😘!

I LOVE this man's attitude to raising non spoiled children. That is truly admirable, and he is absolutely spot on

Iv gone into debt then bankruptcy and lost everything including a business some of the debt was not bankruptable. When you go bankrupt it’s like starting over from scratch. Now it’s been about 20 years and my net worth is around 2 million. I don’t feel wealthy but I do feel more secure. I’m 57 and I still work 6 days a week. I like to work it gives my life purpose and keeps me on a schedule and my job is useful to society. I will probably just keep it up for awhile longer.

The most informative yet so funniest podcast among writers.

Mark my friend your expression and enthusiasm while listening to these folks , so good :)

53:58 "there's NO way" seems wrong, there's always a way for you to do what someone else did..you learn Btw I read sheet music, play piano, guitar, so at one point I couldn't, and now I can!

Another wonderful podcast to listen to and grown my mind. I read Psuchology of money a while back and really loved it since it took a different approach on the whole concept of money as I knew it. Great work Mark

I've really enjoyed this discussion. Thank you, both

Such a ridiculous amount of alpha, squeezed into 1hr of content. I especially like the section regarding how people change with money. I've always considered money to be an amplifier, rather than a 'changer' of personalities. It amplifies whatever traits we have (good and bad) and can sometimes seem like we've become different people, but it's just who we were... but louder. You have converted me from Internet rando, to subscriber. Thank you for this content.

"Right now, when times are good." Wow. Amazing perspective on abundance and life in general. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Loving these podcasts, loved your books... I can't put into words how much you've helped

Hey Mark and Team :D Awesome Video, very interesting topic and though provoking - I really enjoy your content. You and your guests are always talking about a lot of books and I'm constantly like "Ah, sounds nice... Not bad..... maybe I should read that as well" Would it be possible to give a list of the mentioned books in the Video descriptions? Kind regards :)

I like the point about AI and Human Connection. I noticed this when I was browsing some AI art. At first it felt very impressive. It would generate these technically impressive and beautiful images. But then I noticed that it lacked "warmth" for a lack of better term. This art was generated strictly from a set of guidelines but without any artistic intent. It lacks that intent, so all the disparate parts of the image don't really come together to form any sort of cohesive whole. The art was stiff and lacked any "sexiness" or "flow". It gets extremely apparent if it's a collection. Let's say it's a gallery of AI generated images of a character or person in various poses. It's great for reference when drawing your own art. However, the generated art doesn't have a stable "idea" of the character or person. It'll generally look correct but their form or features seem to "wobble" and lack a core consistency. It gets to the point where it jumps into the uncanny valley where it seems like a person drew this but it lacks that artistic touch.

That is awesome, your dad did the “allowance “ thing… with loans and interest! 😂. Hilarious. But it does work!

This conversation was human, it was honest, genuine, authentic stuff and I loved it. Learnin' these two's points of views on status and life, and being against AI? I thoroughly enjoyed this and these two. Please have him on again in the future.

I'm chasing not having to have some a$$hole tell me what to do. I'm chasing the ability to do whatever I wanna do without having to have money as the limiting factor. In other words: I'm chasing pure freedom. Money = Freedom = Happiness. Money can, in fact, directly purchase me a life's supply worth of happiness and joy.

thanks a lot for this podcast, felt like a soul healing podcast for some reason

While I don’t completely disagree, the fact is that money is your hedge against the bad beats in life. Cash gets your kids in college or well trained in a craft. Enough money gives you the magical F-U money, so you can afford to not care if you get laid off or if the economy takes a bad turn. It’s not just status.

Good discussion! Being content is the best you can aim for ! Happiness is an illusion just as life is , so called happiness is just temporary relief from suffering! So being content is what we should aim for ! Good luck !

Relative to the discussion which begins at 49:00- What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9, ESV)
