    We often have a very distorted view of what it means to be rich where it is this life of abundance; however, this lifestyle leads people to becoming broke because when you spend all your money, you end up having no money. The true path to becoming rich is "looking poor" or living below your means. In this video, we do a deep dive into how looking poor makes you rich.
    Chapter 1: The Profitable Industry Of The Fictionalized Rich
    The reason we think rich people are extremely materialistic people is because the media portrays them that way; however, this is just a strategy to make money. Showing this beautiful lifestyle of abundance gets people's attention and that attention creates influence and that influence leads to profit. It is simply an industry that is trying to make money; however, this is not what rich people actually look like.
    Chapter 2: The Boring Reality Of The Everyday Millionaire
    The reality of rich people is actually extremely boring where they live below their means, invest over a long period of time, and live modestly. These actions give them more money to build their wealth over a long period of time. And the people who do flaunt nice material possessions are the people who often become bankrupt.
    Ramsey Solutions Study: www.ramseysolutions.com/retir...
    Chapter 3: Getting Money vs Keeping Money
    In order to become rich, there are two skills that you need to master: getting money and keeping money. Getting money requires taking risks, putting yourself out there, and being optimistic; however, keeping money requires the opposite of humility and frugality. It doesn't matter how much money you make, if you do not have the skill of keeping money, you will go broke. Master these two skills to become rich.
    Chapter 4: The Power Of Small Decisions
    The everyday millionaire gets there by understanding the power of small decisions to live below their means. These small decisions add up and allow them to save money and use it to build their wealth. These small decisions, however, are not enough to become rich, but you also have to use that money to grow.
    Chapter 5: The Compounding Effect Of Wealth
    In our society, the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer. And one huge reason for this is because poor people make their money through a paycheck, but rich people's money makes them money. If you live a more modest lifestyle, you can use this extra money to invest and grow your wealth over time. Wealth doesn't grow linear, but it grows exponentially.
    Chapter 6: Creating Your Own Definition Of ‘Rich’
    In this video, I am not saying that in order to become rich you need to look poor, but I am saying that you shouldn't follow this materialistic image of what the media shows us because it ends up harming you. Instead you should create your own definition of what it means to be rich and I guarantee that you will naturally spend less.

      This past spring I decided to purchase a previously owned Mazda Miata MX-5 Roadster. It was a definite splurge but I elected to do that rather than take expensive vacations. Now I have mini day trip vacations when the weather is fine and I want the wind in my face. I keep it in the garage and I view it as an investment. Win-Win. In everyday life I am decidedly frugal but I am not cheap. I will not forego life pleasures such as driving down a country road at midnight under a full moon with the top down, when the fence row honeysuckle is particularly heady. Love your channel, Agustin!

      I used to think like you. But news spread fast and investment firms have a big mouth. It is a network. A network of homeless people and criminals spy on people net worth and then harass them when they go to Tim Hortons and McDonalds. When you have sizeable assets. People will know regardless if you drive a Ferrari or walk for transportation. This guy is not completely right because homeless people will harass you for cash in restaurants and yes, they know how much money you have. This is just consequence of having investment fund. You can dress like a hobo and this network will still harass you for cash. My dear and gone grandfather was worth over a million dollars living in a subsidized senior home and he used to tell me scammers wouldn’t leave him alone. Point being. You can not avoid attention by dressing up like a bum.

I always say "It's cheaper to maintain what you already have than buy a new one.", but ask another one like : "But, you'll look poor in that thing, and how are you gonna enjoy life? Isn't that the purpose of money?", so I reply... "It's already mine, I hate monthly payments, I'd rather look poor than work hard to buy new stuff and I'm happy with it."... And these people brainwashed by socialmedia will smug in their high horses... Don't care, never did.

      And, your values may change. I have a $13,000 VFR800 that just sits in storage, next to my Porsche. Which I only use once a year to move fuel through it when I visit. Because my values changed and now I prefer living outside of the US. Someday I'll sell them, and lose money. I have $50,000 of home furnishings in storage without a home in the US. Someday, all of your value points may shift, and then you'll have all this craft to store or sell.

    Austin you are so right. I met a guy playing tennis 20 years ago. I wouldn't had never know that he was a millionaire unless someone told me. He never talks about his money of his business. He dresses like me or you, no fancy clothing designers, or shoes. He still wears the same watch from the time I met him!! No, it is not a Rolex. It is a simple Cartier, no diamonds, no nothing. He is such a kind man, he is always helping others in need and still he is not showing off. The only thing that he really like is cars, so every year or two he leases a new top of the line Mercedes. And the only way for us to find out is because we see a new car parked at the club! He doesn't even mention it to us. He lives in the same house all these years.

    I would agree with this. I was a bank teller for a few years, and it was always the unassuming ones that had the money. I remember serving a polite, elderly (in my 20-something eyes, so probably in his 50’s 😂) gentleman, and when I saw his bank balance my eyes nearly popped out of my head. He was wearing shorts, flip flops and a white t-shirt (all standard casual wear here in Australia). He didn’t look poor, just unassuming.

    There's a saying: "New money shouts, old money whispers". The richest person I know (heir to a huge landed estate) mostly wears a tweed jacket, originally made for his grandfather, with so many leather patches that it's beginning to look like a suitcase. If I was filthy rich, I'd prefer to spend my money on handmade leather shoes, fitted to my own last, rather than flashy cars or rolex watches. No matter how expensive such things are, they always look "cheap" to me.

    Thanks for this video Austin. Your content helps me re-think my relationship with money. I knew one older couple, and they were rich (but not like some billionaires, just 'normal rich'😂 if that makes sense, sorry). And the lady sometimes used to ask me to help her buy things on Aliexpress, (that time I was not aware of frugal living and it's benefits) so at that time it gave me a something to think about...even though they have money to buy something fancy and 'designer', they still were looking for better spending decisions! This video confirms my observations! 🎉

    They are selling extremely expensive houses and mansion. Of course, the Real Estate agent are all gorgeous women, wearing all designer clothes and presenting their new designer purse obviously they make sure they mention the model, and the designer name. It is hilarious, there is no way in hell that they can perform and do their job and look like this.. Having plastic surgery, hair and nail done, botox, physical training etc. and going to party and lunch on a daily basic.

    These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.

    I've never seen your videos before but you speak my language. Quick story: a few years ago we started putting our pocket change in a jar every day when we got home for the evening. Once there was enough in there to not feel embarrassed about cashing it in we did so at the bank and took that money to the coin shop to buy silver. As our pile of silver grew we started wondering why we had all these habits that ate up our money and started getting rid of them. I quit smoking weed, gave up my nicotine habit, etc, etc, and all of that money went in the jar too. In the last 5 weeks we've sold our 2nd property, and then our 2nd vehicle, and split the proceeds equally between improving the house we live in, paying off debt/cutting monthly bills, and putting more money away in savings. I now walk to work and take my lunch in a bag, and I'm losing a little weight here and there, and sleeping better at night. You see where this is going? Solvitur ambulando...and thank you for going there, Austin!

    Did we really need a big black car to show how we are ? Just an illusion , I don't need a car to go on work , i use my van thanks to my boss
    Did we need to wear rich clothes? Just an illusion too , when i was on school 20 years ago , i saw guys who weared mark clothes and coming by car but they lived near
    Poor people look like rich not to show their bad personnality and this is dangerous , we get rich by investing in real estates and stock market , not by sending drugs and playing lottery
    As far as i am concerned , i earn 1600 euros per month and only spend 300 euros , i feel relax since i closed the reimbursement of my apartment bought in 2014
    We live in a matrix which make us objets spending more and more since our childhood , why financial education is not explained at school ? Because of this system...
    I try to be on retirement as soon as possible , i have a simple life and being independant without these objets protects us from stolen cars and many things , congrats to your journey and i tell you in french " bonne journée a vous " 😊
