  • Your debt is keeping you in chains and robbing you of the freedom that was gifted to you at birth. Stop spending your life paying back money to people you don't know, because you spent money you didn't have things you didn't really need. It's just stupid! And there is way more happiness on the debt free side of life.

    So true. I have lived without a car for over 13 years and was able to find three jobs near my home. I walked or biked everywhere. No insurance. No oil changes or maintenance. No stress from peeling paint, squeaky brakes, whatevz. And I don't have any debt other than rent, electric and phone. Life is pretty good. Even if I only worked part time I could save, invest and travel.

I look at those that think they are "winning" by having a house, car, designer clothes expensive clothes that are all leveraged with a grin, knowing my money has actual power.

The island would crumble, and why, because WE'RE making them all the money. I mean who's gonna tell another rich person to go and do something, there would be a BIG F -YOU, and why would we need them anyways. I mean we can obvious do the work. It may take some time for them to catch on, but MAYBE they would see just how valuable we are and actually give a $hit...

    the problem with credit is that you never worked for it. the money is just there. when you buy something with it, it seems like you got it free. but then you have a magical bill? all very strange. credit can be a life saver if you need it for emergency surgery or such an expense but 99% of the time, desire less, and you will have less stress, and far greater peace of mind.

    It's scary when you think how much people are in debt just to have what they want. But you don't have any credit cards or anything related to that. It's so tempting to have a credit card. Now people use not a credit card but a set of credit cards. Not one but 10-20. Why not. My worst error was to pay off my credit card and take another one later. Like I was ready for that. Now I receive a flyer it goes automatically to the recycling box. I don't care I don't want to know. I want freedom. It has been 3 years I don't have any. It's so awesome!

    Thought about it in almost the exact same way you presented in the vid. Inception. You gotta wonder... that next car someone wants to buy... do they really want it or was it a series of ads/programming over the course of years/decades that pushed them to that decision? And how many branches of life paths/choices were altered along the way to culminate to that one debt purchase? It's also interesting how various debt purchases become a "i can't do that" anchor. So many people I've heard respond to travel with... "I'd love to do something like that, BUT, i have a mortgage." The trap is so deeply programmed that their almost not even conscious of the indentured servitude in which they live.

Remember covid-19 how the bank stop giving out loans and people ended up using their credit cards no one's talking about how many people filed chapter 7 bankruptcy there was a lot of people doing what you were doing before covid and when the economy is down they turn those little numbers up look at how many people file bankruptcy during covid millions

    I have not seen all of your videos, but my question: What type of work do you do for an income?

    Can’t you return the $300 shirt 👕 for a refund or if not you can sell it on eBay.

    Capitol one: "whats in your wallet?" Me: money. That company spent millions and millions of dollars on that advertising slogan campaign....in the super bowl and other professional sporting events. And...it has been an excellent, a wonderful and amazing ROI for them....for THEM, NOT for you and me.

    The happiest 2 years of my life were lived out of a backpack trailing the world trekking and surfing. I was on a very shoe string budget. I have no debt and I don't want any.
