A short spoken segment from Kosta Ouzas (YouTube) where he contrasts "easy money" (gains from investing in others' companies) with "hard money" (wages or selling products). He gives an example of making "3, 4, 5x" from investments and mentions using that money without disrupting personal relationships—framed as a practical anecdote about risk and returns.
3–5x
You know, they always say you got to, you gamble with, with, with, with money. That's easy. Now, what I mean by easy money. No, money is easy. When you work for your money, you get paid an hourly wage. That's hard money. Right. When you, when you sell your products and all, that's hard money. But if you invest in someone else's company. Yeah. And you make 3, 4, 5x, it's a little bit easier. Now, you can use some of that and, you know, we can call it, you know, this was the money that I was using. So, you know, this wasn't going to send me on. The relationship was still good. You were telling her that. Yeah. That's fine.
