Bounce's number one commandment is:
THOU SHALT NOT WORK FOR MONEY!
Working for money (earned income) is a sin!
However, the top three rules for how to GET IN TO the dead-end working middle class is: Go to school, get good grades and seek a career with a solid company that offers a great compensation and benefits package. If you accept these middle-class ideas you will work for the rest of your life. That's a fact regardless of your belief or disbelief in it.
I think the idea of working for the rest of my life FUCKING SUCKS!
My commandment will probably be a cold smack in the face to everything you have been taught your whole life about success. I realize it might not sink in right away.
I can already see your reaction: OK, Bounce, if you're so GD smart, WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?
The answer is to slowly but surely learn to PUT MONEY TO WORK for you. Don't work for it. Make it work for YOU.
Your next reaction will probably be: Easy for you to say. I have no money to put to work!
To this I say,
"TO CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION YOU MUST FIRST CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK."
"TO CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION YOU MUST FIRST CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK."
"TO CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION YOU MUST FIRST CHANGE THE WAY YOU THINK."
Now, did I say learn to put YOUR MONEY to work for you?
NO!
I said, learn to put money to work for you. Money is just a tool.
If you have to ride the bus to work do you think you have to have the money to BUY THE BUS YOURSELF? Or, might you just pay to use the one that's already there? Investment money already exists just like the bus does. Learn to use it. Get on board.
I have no idea where everyone gets the idea that you have to have money to invest, but you don't.
There is an OCEAN of money out there looking for (BEGGING FOR) for a profitable home. If you can create a profitable deal, the money is there. Money is the LAST THING you need to have to invest. The world is full of it.
Like I said in another post, when Trump builds one of his big-ass projects, he doesn't invest HIS money. Why invest his money when he can borrow someone else's money for pennies on the dollar?
YOU MUST GET OVER THESE IDEAS:
1) a high paying career is the path to financial success and,
2) you have to have money to invest.
Whatever it is that you need to put a deal together is available. Someone has it and is willing to loan it to you for a price.
It isn't a matter of not being able to get what you need to invest. It's only a matter of what it will cost you to borrow it.
This is the reason that THINKING debt is bad can kill your financial future.
Debt is WONDERUL when you're wise enough and have enough financial intelligence to know how to use it profitably.
I take on debt when OTHER PEOPLE AGREE TO PAY IT OFF and when OTHER PEOPLE AGREE TO PAY ME for taking it on to begin with.
I will get in to exactly how I do this as time goes on, but for now you must understand that your goal should be to slowly but surely put other people's money to work for you so that YOU don't have to work for money yourself.
If you want to be financially independent of a job you must understand that WORKING FOR MONEY IS A SIN and taking on debt is a great thing as long as someone ELSE is paying for it and paying YOU to take it on.
The only purpose of money is to make more money.
