It's a great video. I also don't understand why money is a taboo with some people. Money is only a taboo when you don't have to worry about it.

[@sagarkc4012]

I dont know why most of entrepreneurs are against education? Yes, every one should have finincial education..but i think it is better when we have both.

[@elmanoningo8901]

That's right

[@charlesg7926]

Seriously not trying to brag just giving perspective, but I own a home-improvement company and I make over 230,000 profit a year. I also own 3 rental homes making over 36,000 passive income a year. I didn’t go to college

[@charlesg7926]

The Cashflow Quadrant (explained by Robert Kiyosaki) basically sums up the BEST to WORST income groups, as follows: 1) educated business owners. 2) non-educated business owners. 3) educated workers. 4) non-educated workers. The business owners succeed more than the workers, even the less educated owners

[@charlesg7926]

I’m not saying it’s right, moral, or fair. But business ownership pays more than 10 years of college will earn you, provided that the business you own is decently well run, and is for an in demand field that people are willing to pay good money for
