Chapters
How has your thoughts on money changed since you started in Guatemala and to where you are now? When I got to $5K, I remember when I saw the screenshot of $5K a month, I was like, man, I made it. And my lifestyle hasn't really changed. I don't want to say it's a disrespect for money. What I will spend a lot of money on, I like to travel and I like some good food. I'll buy the best food. I love that. Taking care of my family, that was a big one. It allowed me to do some cool things. I had that desire in me. I wanted to feel important. I wanted people to depend on me. I didn't want to be like a heavy load or just that weight for them. That being said, I don't spend that much. So maybe like $5K a month total.
