A short YouTube conversation (two speakers) arguing that money is a tool rather than an end in itself and emphasizing the practice of giving and financial stewardship. Speakers describe a personal shift from pursuing money for its own sake to treating money as a tool and recommend starting to give even with small amounts rather than waiting to become wealthy.
At what point you just realize money is not the answer?
That's it. That's an interesting question. I. I think money is a tool, not the answer, right? It's simply a tool. So I think I had to shift from money, money, money, money, as opposed to, like, steward it be a tool. And I. I started looking at money differently and treating it accordingly. Pretty much, most people are slaves to money, right? And it's like, you know, but you have to acknowledge it. And it's like, okay, what am I getting money for? A lot of people don't know why they're getting money, especially when they have a lot of. There's getting more because that's what you're supposed to do. I started discovering the giving muscle probably 20 years ago. Like, just give a little bit, you know, I had to open up that door. It was scary. I gave $1,000. I'm like, oh, my gosh, I'm going to lose everything.
If people come to me is. And they always say, hey, you know, if I have the money, I have the 100 grand. I'm going to give a thousand. If I'm going to. I'm like, dude, if you have a hundred dollars, you don't give 10 bucks. It's when you have a hundred, you're not going to. It's like, you got to start, like, immediately. And it's not.
If, if.
Because then it's suddenly when you have a million. We usually overspend. There's a lot of people just. Just live way above the means, and they never have the money to give.
