      People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions. I remember a couple of summers ago, following my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to assist my business stay alive, so I looked for qualified consultants and came across someone with the highest qualifications. She has helped me raise my reserve from $275k to $850k, despite inflation.

      FPU, including the baby steps, is for people with an infantile understanding of budgeting and finance. I'm not saying that to be mean; we've all been there. It is just a matter of what stage you begin to learn. Some people will never graduate beyond the baby steps, and that is totally fine as long as it facilitates the mitigation of financial risk and helps accomplish long-term goals. Dave is a smart guy; he develops and markets this material to a certain audience. For the most part, he hits that target and provides a valuable service for the market he targets.

It's the one and only thing you need to be rich and it's in all books or lists of secrets of the rich... Often called "live below your means." The only way to get rich is by reducing your spending on consumer goods and increasing your spending (investing) on capital goods. You have to reduce your lifestyle and not live paycheck to paycheck. There's an economic proof for this. It's called the production possibilities frontier. So think of yourself as an economy. To grow your personal economy you have to increase your ppf.

      It comes down to technique; a downtrend gives you room to focus on the market and grow significantly in the short or long term. While it is easier to make money when the market is rising, a downtrend can still yield high returns if you have the necessary knowledge and skills. For this reason, I have been scaling up during this difficult period by working with an investment advisor; this has been the only way I have raised up to $150K in the last six months.

      @@alrbredwall - Good point. However Dave offered Graham lots of praise for his achievements, and seemed to have respect for his hard work. Then again, Graham isn’t the typical guest on the show that’s in heavy debt. So this is more of a mentorship chat, which is pretty cool to see. Very different exchange from the common “tough love” were used to hearing from Dave.

      This is how my financial advisor has always been - if the debt is affordable and low enough interest, he always recommends investing for a higher return, and letting the debt slowly work off instead of lump-sum paying it off. Like a house loan, which is usually lower % than what you can make investing $100k+

    • @howitzercannon2713

      There is a difference between Graham having debt as part of his business and using it logically/mathematically while making money on the properties vs a couple living in house with two jobs and overbuying something they aren’t using to make money on but to live in… totally different types of debts.
      Not you specifically but I have seen many peoples’ criticisms about his anti debt and baby step philosophy as too hard core but that’s the only way for the average non business minded person to really do well. KISS. Keep it simple stupid.
      He is also not wrong, paying off the debt would just eliminate all risk for graham and let him continue to build cash with no debt to become his “own bank” for the next property. As Dave said, he didn’t make his money leveraging rates but rather finding and making good deals.
