True Freedom Comes From Consistency
Manage episode 364730121 series 3461758
Buying a Ferrari or a Lambo is attractive. Sexy. And what isn't sexy? Purchasing a property that nobody knows about that doesn't look nice and is located in a mediocre neighborhood.
But you have to do it. Because in ten years, when you have multiple houses, some of them are even paid off, that becomes really sexy.
Using your active income, the money from your day job, to invest in boring stuff like real estate will accumulate over time. Eventually, you will have a substantial and predictable cash flow.
The boring investments will grant you the money to buy the Ferrari, the Lambo, and all the cars you like.
At the same time, you don't have to wait till you're half-dead to enjoy your money.
But you also don't want to be stupid with it.
In this episode, we share our thoughts on how to invest in boring stuff to buy sexy goods while retaining all the freedom you want to have in your daily life.
