Have you ever heard of someone losing all their money?
Have you ever heard of a rich person going BROKE?
Have you ever heard a high-earning person grumbling about not having any money?
Have you ever seen anyone buy something they can’t afford…. for the money they don’t have?!
People are stupid. You spend as much as you earn. If you earn too much, you spend it only quicker. A fool will find a way to do foolish fucking things. The more money do you have, the more ingenious ways you’ll find to GET RID of it.
It’s a bizarre feature of the human mind, this tendency to cling to a certain state… always finding a way to revert back to it. You feel you never have enough money, therefore, you’ll find ways to not have enough money. If you’re making more… you’ll find some stupid toy you suddenly “need”.
I see it all the time. It’s crazy.
We see it in others, but it is indeed a bit harder to see it in ourselves…
We don’t know ourselves, we are unable to investigate our own minds and their workings… hence, we are so fucking stupid.
Your intellect will make (and save) you more money then ANY conventional investment.
Your intelligence will, first of, prevent you from losing a fortune on some braindead ego-tripping… such as buying a fancy car, or the most expensive jacket, or even eating-out-every-day habit.
This is merely the tip of the iceberg, though.
If you learn some basic, reasonable restraint with money… you will quickly have much more of it (whilst actually enjoying the stuff you have so much more)…
The money left can now be reinvested…
If you truly cultivate intelligence and creativity, you will not be content with some stupid, passive mean of freezing your money, in what every other uncreative fool believes is safe…
Perhaps, you will begin to see countless ways in which you could SCALE your productivity… whilst minimizing your own output. There are only too many ways in which you could automate certain aspects or your work. There are only too many things you could outsource, or simply have someone do for you. There are only too many IDEAS which you could realize, given some more time and more money…
It’s not about being an entrepreneur or whatever.
It’s about not being stupid.
It’s about seeing money as 1) your time; 2) mean of intelligent creation.
And it’s about being intelligent and INNOVATIVE in EVERY aspect of your life.
Invest in what you may, but your OWN intelligence is your most valueable commodity.
