10 Money Hacks They Don't Teach you in School

// Thread //
1. The 8th World Wonder

"Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world" - Albert Einstein.

It works best when you:

- Start young
- Invest consistently
- Invest as much as possible
- Maintain a long term mindset

Don't work for your money.

Let your money work for you.
2. Work Smarter and Harder

Hard work is the great equalizer.

It takes:

- Early mornings
- Consistency
- Long days
- Discipline
- Efficiency

If you want to be above average, you'll have to do what the average person won't.
3. Read More

85% of self-made millionaires read 2 to 3 books a month.

Why reading is good for you:

- Learn from the greatest
- Learn from successes
- Learn from mistakes
- Think like the best

Readers are leaders.
4. Don't Drive Away your Wealth

Most new cars lose up to 60% of their value 5 years after you first purchase them.

Millionaires buy used cars because:

- They are cheaper
- They've already depreciated
- Potentially lower insurance premiums

Don't invest in negative returns.
5. Diversify your Income

On average, millionaires have up to 7 income streams.

Instead of earning just 1 salary, build your income:

- Flip collectibles
- Start a business
- Start a side hustle
- Sell digital products

To be a millionaire, think like a millionaire.
6. Emotions Drive Purchases

Neuroscience confirms we buy on emotion.

Emotions cause you to:

- Forget your budget
- Spend more money
- Sell at stock market lows
- Buy at stock market highs

Control your emotions before they control your finances.
7. Become an Entrepreneur

66% of millionaires are business owners.

You can earn money with anything:

- Blogging
- Comic book restoring
- Social media content creating

Live a life without limits.

If you want it, you can do it.
8. Value your Relationships

Why your network is so important:

- Support
- Guidance
- More opportunity
- Lasting relationships
- Improved social intellect
- Increased self-confidence

Your network is your net worth.
9. Save for a Rainy Day

69% of Americans have less than $1,000 in savings.

An emergency fund can help you:

- Reduce stress

- Avoid getting into debt

Save 3 to 6 months' worth of living expenses for rainy days.
