Fancy cars and designer bags won’t pay your bills or build your future. Real wealth is quiet.

What I see most people do is they make some money, and then they go out and buy nice clothes or buy jewelry or buy a car or go on a grand vacation. But instead, what you should do until you have enough passive income to start to pay for these leisures and luxuries of life is invest into assets. And so rich people acquire assets which put money in their pocket, even in their sleep. For example, right now, I have a portfolio of rental properties, and when I sleep, they make me money, and then I take that money and that's what I use as my disposable income to go buy the car or buy the trip or buy the clothes or buy the jewelry or whatever. And so that was my role, my first 10 years almost in business. From the time I was 18 years old, every single dollar I made, I reinvested into acquiring assets that would build my wealth and put passive income in my pocket. So I would always be earning while I sleep. And then once I had enough passive income where I could start to afford some of the luxuries of life, because I knew it was going to replenish every month, that's when I started to splurge a little bit and have some more fun. So instead of trying to look rich, focus on getting rich, and take all of that money that you make and invest it into assets to build financial freedom, build passive income, and then use that disposable income to buy all the luxurious things in life.
