A brief YouTube short by Vince Reed arguing that people should spend more time thinking about money and noticing everyday financial opportunities. Reed describes scanning his surroundings—businesses, customers, storefronts—for sources of revenue and suggests that answers to financial problems are visible if one pays attention.
So I think about making money a lot. I think about it, and I don't think people do enough of it. Most people think about the problems that they have, and they think about why they didn't get what they feel that they deserve and why it's someone else's fault that they're in the situation that they're in. And I spend a lot of my time not only thinking about money, but focusing in on all the money that's around me, right? So I'm driving down the street, you know, I'm looking at, you know, businesses and things happening, and I'm realizing all the money that's taking place just literally just outside of my window, like people walking into a restaurant, I'm like, how much was it to build this strip mall? Like, I walk into a grocery store, I'm like, man, the owner of this grocery store is getting paid by all of the people who are, you know, have their items on the shelves. I spend a lot of time thinking about money. I think people that are in money tough situations just don't do enough of it. And if you look around, literally the answers are all around you. It's right in front of you.
