This is a top 5 on the most common reasons that I see for people going broke. Is there any other reason that you can think of? Let me know if there is another top 5 that you want me to make. I have seen alot of people do these things and I have told them that they are bad, but many people keep doing them unfortunately.

ME: do you have a girlfriend the professional ? The Professional: no as a girlfriend is a luxury so newcomers shouldnt have one. I know friends who have girlfriends and always complain about having no money. So only get them if you have a steady income get one. ME: nice 1

Don’t have enough good words to say about this guy. 1. He doesn’t clickbait like most 2. He gets straight to the point 3. And he actually produces good content that helps everybody progress in the game Keep up the amazing content bro👊🏻

If this was a MrBoss vid it would be like “Alright guys so how to not go broke is to make sure to make money” and then like a 10 minute ramble

Cayo perico: we don’t do that here

No.6 Buying too much beer and smokes

The Professional: Don't waste money on cars Car guys: Am I a joke to you? 🥺

It's because everything in the game is so expensive that's really it

The Professional : there's not really a difference between cars Digital car addict : hold my beer

Top 1 Reason why players go broke: 1. They have no Money

I go broke because I love to buy and collect cars, it makes me happy to own a bunch of cars

Me: is broke on GTA Online Reason 2 you're broke: spending it all on cars you don't need Me: looks at a fully clownized Faggio and Panto, together with an arsenal of souped up Issis Yeah, I still don't know how I got broke.

Whenever I'm screwing around in gta, I take solace in the fact that I could sit on my ass and still have my businesses, bunker, and nightclub producing money for me. I don't really need the cash, but I always tell new players to invest in stuff that's going to make you money before buying expensive toys

I just lag out to a solo lobby....no pain no drama...solo lobbies rule for selling and that is that...

Professional: Don’t spend to much money on cars SPECIALLY THE BENNY’S ONES. Me: *looks at executive garage full of lowrider*... Well

Professional: buy businesses Me: spending all my money on grenade launcher ammo

Can’t remember when i last did a mission... i just drive around

Then theres my OCD: always needing to be topped up on ammo for every weapon, and I'm trigger happy

Tbh the worst ones are wasting cash into slot machines and buying expensive cars and not investing in bussinesses

“How to have money: don’t waste money”

“Don’t waste money on cars when you don’t have a steady income” me a level 50 with all of my garages and houses filled with customised cars and bikes

People go broke in GTA for the same reasons people go broke in real life hahaha. Wasting money on things, not investing. Lol

Rockstar and overpricing is the biggest reason why players go broke

Professional:everything is better with friends Me:*laughs in Cayo perico hiest*

100k a hour ain’t good: me now in 2021 doing cayo parico making 1.5 mil a hour ☺️

« You can’t go broke buying clothes » I got broke buying 10 Military outfits even though I had 2.5 Million dollars

Cars aren’t just for Going from point a to b because people take pride in customizing there cars... but not owning a business is dumb good point

Its only to get from point A to point B. That hurt my Heart as a car guy (also im a Grinder)

My cousin has everything in Paleto Bay thinking it’s good because it’s cheap. He thinks the bunkers good because he doesn’t realize that you have 15 mins to sell cargo, but he gets super lucky. Gets the best sell missions and never gets griefed. When I tried to explain to him that Paleto Bay businesses suck, he said that I’m a liberal against Paleto Bay businesses and that there’s no difference. I was able to convince him how to do the casino heist easily. Before that, he didn’t even know that in SILENT AND SNEAKY there was stealth so he went in guns blazing. He didn’t know there was gruppe sechs for big con so he did bugstars and went in guns blazing. Because of that, he thought that PAIGE was the best and gave the “FULL” two mins in the vault when that’s not the case at all. He also doesn’t even use the horse track as the getaway place. He goes to the side behind the parking lot where there are like 10 guard waiting there while on the horse track there are 3 groups of 2 guards along the way. Sry I moved from bunker to casino heist but still. Oh, and I hate the facility and arcade in Paleto bay mainly because I hate driving normal vehicle if it’s slow or not for a mission. Oh And my stable form of income is just the casino heist and the cayo perico heist My other cousin says that cash from the casino heist is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE after I told him that it gives 300,000 less than artwork and grabs a little slower. So he thinks that cash gives him a terrible cut. When I’m hosting I give him 40% and it would give him 750,000-500,000, and he thinks that’s bad. When he’s hosting it gives him between 1,000,000-750,000 and he still thinks even that bad.

Half of my expenses: GUNS and AMMO. That's my reason.

I would play things like head hunter for hours and my brother will spend all the money i made on shity horns

I’m level 60 and have all the businesses and have never bought a car and now I can finally buy some cars and make some money. I think buying cars is a thing to do when you have business.

Top 5 reasons players gain less money than they expect(Doublespeak) 5. Doing missions that pay inappropriately 4. Lone wolf 3. Investments in which make less profit than you hoped 2. American consumerism 1. No investments at all

well some people are just compulsive spenders, another reason why some get broke.

“Everything is always better with friends” -looks at gf-

Number 4 hits me with a personal spot. Trying to make friends on GTA is trying to get blood out of a stone.

I know this video is old but I gotta do this The professional: "businesses are the best way to make money" Cayo perico: "I'm about to end this man's whole career"

3:25 Bold of you to assume I have friends or the ability to make friends

This one time, my group was just kind of faffing about between jobs, taking a break to just enjoy a breather, and we saw a notification that someone was selling cargo from LSIA. We opened the player list, and saw it was one guy doing a solo drug sale for their MC; three Buzzards in Devin Weston's Hangar. There were a good few other people in the lobby, and some of them were killing other players, so we all headed for the hangar, and we just stood by it all. One person came by to check things out, but the moment we all drew guns on them, they threw their car into reverse and drove away. We were certain that they were there for the cargo, but ran when they saw a squad of four people in heavy gear pointing guns at them. Eventually, the dude came back to collect a second chopper, and since I was the leader of the group, I took out my PDW so I could show I was armed while still offering a salute. The others hung back by the remaining choppers, armed, but not aiming. The guy seemed nervous, but he just ran to his next chopper, got in, and took off without us doing anything, so when he came back for the last one, he just ran past us, we again did nothing to get in his way, and as he took off, two of my friends got into a Hunter and followed him, flying alongside him, never behind, and people actually moved out of their way when they approached. When his sale was over and we got the notification that all his cargo had been delivered, my team waived off, and we got back to our own work. Dude started thanking us in the public chat, saying how he thought we were going to grief him, but was extremely happy that we didn't. We told him it was no problem, and that, "Umbrella Security was happy to keep your supplies safe."

Hey professional, I know this is a very old video but it is now 2023 you saved me hundreds of dollars in real life and countless hours grinding. I really appreciate the videos and the hard work you put in to your channel. Keep doing what you’re doing and you might single-handedly put rockstar out of business. Thank you so much.

thank you soooo much your videos have helped and inspired me soooo much. thank you

personally i just grind the diamond casino heist with friends. it's more fun

Literally the patience to put time into the business and not spend it on luxury goods relates to real life and why a lot of people in real life struggle with money even if they have a good job. And its because they aren't putting it in the right places or having patience....

Resons players go broke: THEY DONT DO PROFESSIONAL MONEY GUIDES

4. Not playing with friends Cayo perico: hold my beer

Cars are the reason why i play gta

"Not playing with friends" Me: Laughs in Loneliness

Thanks theprofessional. I started playing gta 2 months ago and didn’t know how to start cuz everything was overpriced and didn’t know how to make money. Starten watching your videos and I bought my first business which was coke. I grinded the business for a few days and I got another mc business. I then grinded and grinded and I’m already at rank 120 and I almost own all the businesses apart from weed and document forgery. Now I can buy whatever I want and make the money back in less than a day.

The biggest reason is the obscene upfront cost that goes into making passive income businesses possible, and the least taxias possible. To make serious cash efficiently to start buying 'luxuries,' you're gonna need approximately $20,000,000 upfront (Upgraded Bunker, Upgraded Nightclub + businesses, Terrorbyte, Oppressor MK2, Kosatka and Sparrow). Of course we've all done it, incrementally, some point over the last decade. For us that is an inconsequential amount we can earn handily, but for someone that has just bought the base game and is starting today... That is no small feat to accomplish. Especially by themselves if they've no friends to boost them through either the casino or cayo heists. It is then unsurprising why so many new players fall into these traps, because that cash translates into a helluva lot of cars and toys. Cash that would otherwise be a sunk cost investment that would take 100+ hours to recuperate and turn profitable. So any advice would be to do activities until you have 4 million (focus on x2 payout activities), buy the Sparrow and Kosatka as your first big ticket purchases. From there, do Cayo Perico stealthily (read a guide) two-three times to buy the Bunker, upgrades and the cheapest MC clubhouse. And through a combination of both, start chipping away at the Nightclub and prioritize the Terrorbyte/Oppressor MK2 first because both the Sparrow and Oppressor MK 2 will give you unparalleled freedom of movement across the map to do everything you need to do. As you're then on your way to finishing off the Nightclub, spoil yourself with a few cars and toys so you don't burn yourself out. Highly recommend the RC Tank. Despawns your character, hides you from radar all from the interaction menu and is a great anti-grief tool.

why i insist on going solo: everytime i try to befriend someone, they kill me

I'm basically just listening to a playthrough of what I did as a low-level

2 years later and this is still relevant

I don’t really go “broke” because whenever I think I’m low on money I just run Cayo perico a few times

Is it just me who dies a little inside when someone says "I'll just sell a couple of my cars"

That bruh moment when someone actually wants to have fun

Me with my 40mil: im sooo rich...professional: hold my bear

1 week into gta i have like 6 armored vehicles, a ceo office, cocaine biz, bunker, submarine and man... the week of setup was worth it. Money just comes now

I don’t think there’s a issue with playing solo by choice. Some people just want to be the only person responsible or simply prefer doing it themselves. You shouldn’t criticise a player because they don’t play “the way you want”.

When gta 6 comes out they should allow us to transfer our characters if we want

I don't think some people should be playing with others because of myself in case I have anger issues and i become toxic some times so i prefer to stay away from other players when I grinding.

Some people like playing alone. If you're not one of them, don't try to understand. We don't understand you either.

Summarized: People that try to have fun playing a GAME and not treating it as a full time job

My problem going broke: There will be _always_ been something I want to buy.

thank you, you have motivated me😁

3 years after this video, fortunately there's ways to have a steadier stream of income but the base remains: invest in businesses that in the long run will give you cash. Nowdays priority is to save enough for the Kosatka and run Cayo heists solo, with the enterprise pack available for free, you get a bunker, a business in a motorcycle club and an office. With those you can do some VIP work or getting cash for the submarine, afterwards: just invest in a car warehouse and a special cargo warehouse from what you've earned in them Cayos, then buy a nightclub and let the business run alone, I also see the auto shops as quick way to make cash by doing the Fleeca/Union Depository jobs as fillers for relatively quick/easy cash while alternating Cayos so don't get too bored of grinding that heist. But yeah, now it's easier to have a steady stream of income than before.

I make sure to save 1mil when buying something new so I don’t go broke

I got to lvl 80 just from racing, it took months. I didn’t know about most other jobs until after that. Lol

In response to Number 4. Most probably just don't have the patience that the tolerance may not be enough to consider accepting help. Nobody likes to owe someone in return if it means it doesn't make it even. At least in my experience. That and now a days some friends never usually answer the message often.

7:45 I love the way you said that and how fast you can ent to “oh yes you can”

I feel like these tips dont only apply to gta, but in our real life too. Thanks man, respect

6:00..... I was selling in a lobby with just me and my friend and my shipment got destroyed.... he said "the game told me I had to destroy it" thanks to my friend i lost 200k

I used to always steal supplies and you made me buy supplies on my business because your just wasting you time on those missions for just 1 Bar I respect you

You can't go broke now if you own a CEO and the sub. A VIP mission will almost fully source a Cayo

I play solo because I've been burned by too many mark 2s, cant trust anyone anymore. I still get the nam flashbacks

Same, I like to spend alot of money on cars because they make me happy. I like car.

I love when you get so passionate and your distaste for griefers shines through in your voice

On number 3 when you were talking about clothes you really can go broke, I had a old friend and on social club it says “Has spent 3.1 million dollars on clothes”

#1 not asking for a friend to run the bogdan heist for you

Best channel i swear bro

Being a solo player isn’t that bad It’s peaceful It makes you hustle to grind for your money without depending on others And it’s good to have some alone time here and there

When The Profesional uploads a video on your birthday while you're grinding in GTA

I go broke because I play gta and Im too lazy to do anything to get money.

The Professional: dont waste your money on cars Me as a car guy with 90+ cars:

I am a team player,I don’t even like to drink a beer by myself,so i hear you man.

I ride solo I can't deal with friends except a select few

Me: looks at number 4 Also me: wow, why you gotta do us introverts like that?

Hi love the vid

Solo public lobbies are the answer, you may not get the multiplier bonus, but you can still sell your merchandise and not get grieved. Just my 2 cents.

1. Their new or just gamble their money in the casino

Professional: "Businesses are the best way... Businesses are the right way" Me while gambling in Three Card Poker: *hides Chips*

Professional: play with friends Me: I have no friends 😭

So basically If you don't wanna go broke Don't invest in things that are fun

my top 5 1: they are stupid 2: they dont care 3: buying cars/planes that serve no purpose 4: fully upgrading cars that serve no purpose 5: they are LAZY (not grinding 2x crates or Import Export) im a solo player who has made throughout TWO 2x weeks 50m on crates alone sourcing 3 at a time with a buzzard or a deluxo. its possible. just dont be lazy. also the whole "Friends" arguement is kind of bullshit. the only thing ive done with friends is the doomsday heists. the businesses are easy to do alone, just glitch into a solo public lobby. that high demand bonus is shit imo, and you make more in the longrun by never having to deal with griefers

I've spent 40 million on orbitaling griefers

I was lucky to meet a random person that I joined in doing 2-3 Cayo heists and that made it possible for me to buy my own Kosatka and Sparrow. 2 weeks later and I have almost all the businesses. I own a fully operational Nightclub warehouse, CEO office, a Bunker, a Clubhouse, a Hanger, an Agency, a terrorbyte, a fully upgraded Oppressor Mk2 (it's the best to grind), a Nightshark, a almost fully upgraded Toreador and a lot more. All that in just 2 weeks of doing a Cayo Heist once a day.

I'm in a phase where I don't buy any new cars anymore, so I have too many. The only cars i get are from the wheel glitch at the casino.

Rockstar be like Get this man off youtube we need shark card purchases It's a joke I'm a fan

Customizing cool vehicles are basically the only reason I play this game.

I once did a Special Cargo sale, there were two trucks I had to drive, each of them to different locations. I drove the first one to all the locations, then had to head BACK to the warehouse where the other vehicle was, then I had to drop the cargo at all the locations for a second time. Point being, when you play GTA Online, become an extrovert and make friends quickly or you're screwed.

I filled my garages with 90% stolen cars. I've bought just a small handful of cars and other vehicles that were on sale, basically following The Professional's advice. Now, I'm past level 250, have cash in the vault and have all the unlocks and weapons I need to make money. And all due to paying attention and grinding.
