I don’t think it’s a secret that I earned my money by working as a Real Estate Agent, although these are a few of the nuances that helped me save as much as I could to begin investing in Real Estate and buying rental properties. The biggest tips: decreases your expenses as much as you can, save as much as you can, and work on increasing income. Add me on Snapchat/Instagram: GPStephan
1. Decreasing expenses. I’d view all the money I didn’t spend as additional income, because I was money I had “saved.” Weird mental gymnastics, I know, but avoiding spending $50 on dinner or $40 on drinks was just like I had “made” that much money by not spending it.
2. All the money you save is in your control. It’s also easier to save $20 by not spending it, than it is to make additional money to pay for it. For instance, an increase of $20/day income is really more like $14 after taxes. So you need to make $20 to pay for a $14 item, after taxes.
3. Viewing money instead of at its face value, but at its investment return. $100,000 isn’t $100,000…it’s $10,000 a year for life in rental income, for example.
4. Work on increasing your income. You can’t get something for nothing, so obviously this still requires you to go out and make money.
From there, you should start to begin to see an increase in savings, which you can then use to begin investing. In the mean time, continue to do your research, read as much as you can, and learn as much as you can with regards to investing. Enjoy!

Topic for my own subscribers this week. Finances. Part of advancing yourself is having a state of financial security. Many don't because they have let the norms of society convince them they need to have things that aren't important. Like that new car that is a 700 a month payment when you could get a lesser one for 300 a month. Or going to TGI Friday's every week which runs a hundred bucks for your family instead of grilling out which would run 20. If people would really look at what they spend on nonsense they would find that they could easily put away a thousand a month in investments. You don't have to live minimalistic, you just have to live smart. You don't buy a vehicle based on what others will think of you (mine is 14 years old with dents everywhere even though I could purchase a Corvette outright today). You bring lunch to work instead of eating out every day (which is less healthy most likely too.) You don't spend 150 a month for all that media entertainment. You don't get a four wheeler just because your neighbor got one. You don't have a five dollar mocha twice a day. All this stuff adds up. And you don't buy a house you can barely afford. Remember-
living paycheck to paycheck keeps you a slave. If you have financial freedom you are always in the position to direct your own life with those slave chains cut. Hope this helps someone-out there-CharlesYes but my problem is that im starting from absolutely nothing. I'm working my but off but its not enough. im paid 15.90/hour which isnt bad in my province its not minumum wage. I have a lot of school loans 🙁 I feel stuck. im going back to school so I can get i higher paying job until i can save up to do what I really want to do
It’s a video that hits hard, gets to the point and really inspires as opposed to those motivational videos that just ramble on about different things.
“SunCor Financial MPI review"
Great video mate one of your best iv seen
I thought there was a cat looking in the window, but it’s just Graham’s hair and seatbelt.
Actually trading Forex has not been easy,, ever
since I started trading I have Blown my account
thrice, Had several mental breakdown because iwas not using accurate strategies, Secondly no
professional trader to back me up! I even almostgave up in trading Not until I got in contact with Mr Young @you_ngli on IG, now i earn
$20,000 weekly with his genius strategies, I really appreciate his good works and can't help but let others know about it.
Don't depend on a monthly income with your smartphone or laptop you can earn up $7,000 worth Bitcoin in every 24hours goto mr Carlos att carlos_1uptrades on insta for help his a God sent.
I got laughed at when I started trading. I was burnt out, needed a change, also wasn't expecting to be laughed out of the office when I mentioned my interest in investing in the stock market. Well, a few years later and $5.3 million in savings, I'm the one laughing now. Friends now want to know exactly what my i do to earn well I advise everyone to start trading in the stock market today for a better tomorrow that’s all I can say,thanks to Mr carlos @carlos_1uptrades on instagram. I’m making a living trading forex.
I was told that every achievement begins with the decision to try . Ignorance destroys so many opportunities . I'm a victim but I was convinced by the right person i meet on instergram by God willing a man known as Mr Carlos @Carlos_1uptrades now i earn over $12,650 every week, I am just very happy and it feels like am the only one enjoying this although there are people still testifying about this man
Most successful people started from nothing. They didn’t wait for the opportunity to knock but created the opportunity on their own by working hard. Thankgoodness i found Mr carlos kingston a pro forex trader, now I have been trading with him for about 7 mounths now and I earn up to $15,000 weekly. i guess this is the epic start to a new chapter in my life. I just feel like more evevryone should be made aware of this opportunity, feel free to contact him @carlos_1uptrades on Instergram his indeed a genius
The most fruitful decision of my existence was trading with Mr Carlos @Carlos_1uptrades on Instagram, I wouldn't have a second thought of choosing him over every other trader. I started trading with just $700 and in few days I got a return of $8,500. His diligence and trustworthiness can't be compromised
It is honestly a huge inspiration to watch you grow!
That was my first car as well!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks Graham!
Would u suggest to invest or buy CDs with our savings for real estate? Or do u save the money until u have enough to buy your first property?
Watching all your videos in a row (found your channel now) and all of them are great inspiration for me to find what and how I would like to do in life. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
I like these older candid videos. I've always appreciated your motivation and practical advice–it's good to see how successful you've been just by helping people.
Thank you!!! Too much value in one video 🙂
I found your first video,I’m going to see all your videos and repeat 👍🏠😃
Great post
I live an expensive lifestyle 😐
It weighs on me when I look at the credit card bill. Don't get me wrong, I'm at 10k a year…. A lot to me is a little to someone else. I look at $200 credit card bills per 2 weeks, and I can't stop it…. It's not hard to do, just that I am way too social.
New subscriber here. I love the content. I am on a binge watching spree. Hooray!
Reduce expenses before increasing income? Crap, I got the promotion too soon! Lol
I got 2 weeks to figure out my expenses before the promotion takes affect.
Thank you again for all the support and helping grow this channel to 60k subs…seriously, that means so much to me and I owe it all to you guys! Also…trust me, watch until the end, I promise it’ll be worth it (special surprise, ha)
