i heard that sentence and instantly subscribed.

That is a great perspective and that the truth and reality.

Invest in time on a learning cruise!!! Best to work 2 weeks at leaning and being on the seas.

try it...in the end we all go away and take nothing....what we do now...have no regrets

Wiser words have never been spoken

Preach

I'm really slogging through what I have to do right now ... thanks for these wise words!

It's a powerful set of words. Similar to Dave Ramsey who helps people learn about money and debt. He says to get out of debt and to save to live the life you want, you need to "Live like no one else so that someday, you can live like no one else."

I’m doing it now.

but what if i want to do what i have to do?

Well, there are of course exceptions, e.g. I had changed job due to a boss who are a genuine evil witch, or to be more precise : A psychopath.

@@charonstyxferryman I agree with that. I certainly am not implying that a boss is beyond reproach and I've had supervisors like that myself. However, some people tend to do nothing but speak ill of a supervisor or boss because they feel as if they are owed something, they are not! They tend to complain more and wok less.

That's cuz she was an affirmative action hire for feminists.

What if your boss is the devil? 😂😂

Waiting to get back out there. Screwed around last year and made 80K. Paid off 35 grand of debt in the past two years.

word

Tim Miles haha , that's the bit he left out .

lol ... happy wife, happy life? Unless she spends all your money!

10 years later mine still hadn’t learned

RUN!

I nearly wet myself.. let us know how that goes..

Kerry Young same, retired at 55. Living the RV dream for past 2 years after selling up in the city. I don’t miss working for corporate at all, even though it was fun traveling the world I saw more hotels than countryside. Freedom is great and no one has any idea how long they may have left on top of the ground/sea. Live life to the full

Retired at 50, bought a 20 acre ranch near Suwannee. Totally off grid.

Cliff my whole family is from amarillo

Most people don't/won't listen to this kind of advice because they are looking for something easy, a silver bullet, not a marathon, a life philosophy.

Cliff ,question above was for you.good going keith.he saf e & enjoy that fresh seafood!beautiful family.

So agree!

Wow!! Do you know Chad & Colby Neal? They own a Ditch Witch here in Charlotte NC!

His net worth is 100+ Million. Trust me, he’s only living off of the interest from one of his accounts. Don’t let this bs fool you.

@@brdrptrl06 Where exactly did you hear that his net worth is 100+m? lol I mean he definitely has money, but that's a pretty ludicrous number.

No way in hell is he worth $100m AND there is no way in hell they live on $30,000 a year. Keith forgot to mention one of his slogans “Tell them whatever you need to tell them so you can get them to believe whatever you want them to believe”

@@gregmatyas4272 Maybe not 100m but I can see around 15-60m in the bank at least excluding physical assets/realty he owns. Lookup his old company. Still running, does around 7.5m a year. You can look the info up on linkedin. He was president for 17 years. He still owns an airfield as a side business that I'm sure makes a little passive on the side to supplement the %s of interest from his accounts. I do think he works hard af, used to and still does tbh. You can see it in how he operates his boat. Typically tries to do all repairs himself, when he can't goes to a pro but still attempts at all repairs in the least. At the end of the day, I say all of this to say, Man's made a lot of money, and knows how to spend it and can do what he pleases

7? 2 Adults + 4 kids - 1 kid that left. I count 5.

It can give one freedom, when one handles money and the responsibility it brings - at any end of the spectrum. I am not sure if or how safe banks are these days. The odd thing about the banking systems is that for some reason they keep printing debt. They have to do this, because once they stop, the show is over and then we see a crash - though we might be in a slow economic "crash" at the moment, it may rapidly accelerate if Italy goes down or even just one bank, like Deutsche bank, goes down. They will likely try to hide DB's losses for a few more months (lets say 9 to 24), with its merger to another imploding bank - yeah!? Credit Unions may be slightly safer, though they are dealing under the same system - for the most part.

drx1 xym I have been retired for all most 13 years now I bought currency in other countries that the dollar was greater when I saw a profit I did an exchange rate and laughed another thing I did was buy property in other countries very very cheap and resold the property later for 300 times more but you need to study different countries constantly and especially the pattern how the country goes on the chart I am still learning with houses around the world and property just remember property never goes down in value

Congrats mate.

how’s it going

still making progress. we are on track but inflation is definitely going to cut it close. @@mt7810

Lol

@@SailingCorina I suggest less complaining, negativity and excuses. Instead spend more time working harder and finding a solution for reaching your goals.

Life, liberty and happiness is everyone's dream, not just people in U.S. However it's more easily achievable in U.S. due do better structured laws for the middle class.

@@SailingCorina Be the shoe

Michael Marino my thoughts exactly!!!!!

I might also add that it’s great to see folks like me who are successful and have no education beyond high school. My wife and I are non college graduates and while we don’t (yet) live this lifestyle it is inspiring to know it’s possible.

Just yesterday I have talked with my coleague (a person that I pay monthly and am supposed to call an employee, but it it is offensive for me to call him that) and asked him if he is happy. He said that there is nothing he would change and that he is grateful for the job. What I told him is that I am grateful that we can share work together and grow together because he can share his youth and enthusiasm and I can share experience and knowledge. And yesterday we have had a celebration for his new working papers, better working conditions, less hours so he can spend more time with his wife (they are expecting soon ❤️). He booked more work, worked harder than ever, stayed after hours on his own, and had a smile on his face. So did I. And so I can save more, work more, earn more and get close to my dream sooner. Respecting the people that work with you helps both sides ❤️

I just got a visual that I didn't want. Thank you 😂

Yeah I agree, I like a no BS kinda guy like him. Straight to the point and no sugar coating.

He live the America dream. And still is. How many countries could he have done this in.

He living the America dream because of this country. He sounds like a idiot talking bad about what made him a lot of money so much so he bought a million dollar boat he living the America dream

I believe he was referring to the American dream in its most commonly used sence. The house, car, 2.3 kids, and Thanksgiving at grandma's every fall. He wasn't shitting on the country, just the supposed path everybody is herded down. He did well because he's a likeable guy, he talks with confidence and intensity, and has the skills to keep his word and commitments.

Jacob Lapoint Am heard other things he has said to make me believe something else. And he did do all of that before he did this. Did you see the house he live it before this boat. And am sure he wasn’t driving a ford cruse around. And you know nothing about him just like I don’t. He shows you what he wants just like all of these channels. I didn’t hear him say any of what you think he meant I can just go by what he said and not just on this video. He talk his political views before this about this country. Sounded like he wanted to get out away from it. He sounds angry to me and I don’t get why.

@@ratj4715 I think he is conservative minded politically, as am I. Which probably assimilates to why his views and beliefs don't bother me, and why I don't see anything wrong with what he said. I don't care how big the neighbors house is, and I don't care how hot the neighbors wife is, and I don't care how big his bank account is. I care about what I want out of life and what I have to do to get where I want to be. Taking calculated risks is part of it, sometimes it pays off and alot of times it doesn't. People tend to overestimate thier abilities, and underestimate everyone else's. That mindset will just make you bitter and fail at your goals more oftenthan not.. Staying within your means applies to everyone in all aspects of life not just financially but socially, physically, and mentally (except our worthless government). You'll make it a lot further in life once you learn that you are 100% responsible for you. Its nobody else's fault that you can't afford a catamaran or whatever lifestyle you want, and its not mine or Keith's either. If you're in a dead end job with no hope of the financial future you want downsize your life and expenses. Learn to do something that will get you where you want to be financially, and then put in the actual work required to become one of the best at whatever it is you decide to do. Half assed effort will net you a half assed life. Hard work and dedication, and determination won't guarantee you a successful future, but it will greatly increase your chances. Sitting around blaming your parents, your race, your boss, your wife, and whoever else is just telling everyone that you can't mentally overcome the setbacks life deals all of us. Unless you're phisically or mentally disabled there is no reason you can't have what he has or more if you want it granted you've got the stones to get the work done, and the ability to nurture and build relationships with people who can help you get there.

Jacob Lapoint He can think what he wants but than don’t flash the flag around like you care because you don’t. And he did owed that mansion and he did have kids he live the American dream this country made that possible for him. Too many people in this country are angry with it and I don’t understand that way of thinking it what you make of it. So many people want this country to burn to the ground and to me that pretty sad way to live life. Their is no where else I rather be but in this country. And these are the same people telling others to leave it.

Hell yes y'all need to put that Hollywood out of business they can't make real life out there like y'all do and share

I second that.
