    TPP104: Is it better to save money or create money?

    enMarch 12, 2015

    Podcast Summary

    • Creating Money vs Saving MoneyWhile saving money is crucial, investing it for potential growth can lead to greater financial gains. Be informed and cautious when considering crowdfunding for property investments.

      While saving money is important, creating money through investment can lead to greater financial growth. Rob and Rob discussed their differing views on this topic during the latest episode of The Property Podcast. They also shared news about the upcoming release of a new project, which they described as even bigger than their best-selling book. In other news, they discussed an article from MoneyWeek about the risks and rewards of crowdfunding as a means of raising capital for property investments. The hosts emphasized the importance of being informed and cautious when considering this funding method. Tune in next week for more insights from The Property Podcast.

    • Saving vs Creating Money: A Balanced ApproachSaving has its merits, but it's a zero-sum game with a limit. Creating money requires effort but has the potential for unlimited growth.

      While saving money is important and easier than making money, it is also a zero-sum game with a limit. On the other hand, creating money has the potential for unlimited growth. However, it's important to note that MoneyWeek, as a publication, tends to have a negative view on property and saving in general. Therefore, it's crucial to approach articles with a balanced perspective. In the discussion, the hosts took opposing views on the importance of saving versus creating money. The argument for saving emphasizes its ease and the importance of having a deposit for investment. However, saving is a zero-sum game, meaning you can only save up to a certain point. Creating money, on the other hand, has the potential for unlimited growth, but it requires effort and is not always easy. Ultimately, both saving and creating money have their merits, and a balanced approach is essential.

    • Maximizing savings with deliberate choicesMaking deliberate choices to reduce expenses can lead to significant savings over time, without requiring a large time investment.

      While saving money may require less time upfront compared to making money, it's important to remember that saving still involves making deliberate choices to reduce expenses. These choices can add up to significant savings over time, without requiring a large time investment. Additionally, saving gives individuals complete control over the amount they save each month, providing a sense of stability and predictability in their financial situation. However, it's essential to strike a balance and not take saving to extremes, as it can still require some time and effort to effectively manage and maximize savings. Overall, the focus should be on making the most of the resources you have, whether it's time or money, to achieve your financial goals.

    • Exploring Alternatives to Starting a Business for Building WealthCareers, jobs with high earning potential, and investing small sums of money are alternative strategies for building wealth beyond starting a business.

      There are various ways to save and build wealth beyond starting a business. While having a business can be an effective method, it's not the only way to gain control and certainty over your finances. Careers or jobs with high earning potential and investing small sums of money to make them grow are alternative strategies to consider. These methods can provide a stable financial foundation, allowing individuals to eventually invest in property or other ventures. It's essential to remember that everyone's financial situation is unique, and finding the best approach depends on individual circumstances and goals. The key is to explore different options and make informed decisions based on personal circumstances and risk tolerance.

    • Create Money First, Then Save and InvestFocus on creating money first, save a portion, and invest the rest for faster wealth growth

      While saving is important, creating money is the key to building significant wealth. Saving is a zero-sum game, but the potential to make unlimited money through business, investing, or other means is limitless. The Millionaire Fast Lane book suggests creating money first and then investing it in assets like property. However, it's not necessary to start a business to create money; there are other ways to do so. Being entrepreneurial and creative to generate extra income on the side is a viable option. While saving is important, it should be seen as a part of the wealth creation process, not the primary focus. It's about finding a balance between creating money and saving it for investment. Remember, having a rainy day fund is also essential, as suggested by Pete Matthew from Meaningful Money. So, create money, save it, and then invest it for faster wealth creation.

    • Building Wealth: Saving vs InvestingMaintain financial discipline through saving, but focus on long-term benefits of investing for exponential growth and making a difference in the world

      Both saving and investing are crucial components of achieving financial wealth. Saving serves as a solid foundation, but it's the potential of the upside that propels us from doing okay to becoming wealthy. Maintaining financial discipline is essential, but it's important to keep our focus on the long-term benefits of investing. For instance, investing in a business or charity can lead to exponential growth, unlike limiting ourselves to what we can afford from our savings. The ultimate goal is not just to be financially secure but to build wealth to make a difference in the world or leave a legacy for future generations. It's not a selfish pursuit, but a principle of life that drives us towards prosperity.

    • Canned Emails: A Time-Saving SolutionCanned emails offer pre-written templates for various situations, saving time and energy. Websites like cannedemails.com provide a collection of examples for apologies, break-ups, and unsubscribing.

      The use of canned emails can save time and energy when crafting difficult or repetitive emails. During the discussion, the hosts mentioned the website cannedemails.com, which offers a collection of pre-written emails for various situations. This resource can help users avoid the stress and time-consuming process of writing emails from scratch. The hosts shared some examples, including emails for apologies, break-ups, and unsubscribing aggressively. They joked about using the "break-up" email as a comedy resource. The audience member Reese left a positive review, praising the podcast for providing valuable information and entertainment. Overall, the episode showcased the practical benefits of canned emails and the engaging nature of the podcast.

    FIR 82: Biohacking Your Life to TRADE Better!!!

    FIR 82: Biohacking Your Life to TRADE Better!!!

    Let's look at some of the key elements of biohacking and apply it to finances, investing, and trading.

    Genetics
    - Are you born to invest well?
    Oxygen
    - Do you feed your brain with oxygen when making financial decisions?
    Attention
    - What is your ability to stay focused on your financial goal?
    Memory
    - There must be some discipline applied when making financial decisions...like muscle memory, we have to develop brain memory
    Sleep
    - You cannot invest, trade, or balance your budget without taking care of this
    Environment
    - Know the best environment for making financial decisions; I know some traders who will not trade when their in-laws are visiting
    Audio
    - The right music is food for the brain
    Light
    - Choosing the right light is critical to stimulating your brain waves
    Nutrition
    - You are influenced heavily by the food you partake, would you feed a $1 million race horse a bunch of junk? You are worth more than $1 million
    Movement
    - Get the blood flowing and get moving
    Stress
    - This can reduce the blood flow and the oxygen flow...impacting your decision making
    Electricity / Magnetism
    - Ok - put some positive vibes out there...if you are in a downer mood, then don't start making financial, investing, or trading decisions

    Take a moment to evaluate your rate yourself in each of these categories.

    -Be on guard for "sweetheart" swindles
