AI got me on this video, and this is crazy Comment from : Videos by Abdullah

The wealthy have so much money that they can only keep reinvesting it leading to greater wealth whereas a textile worker in southeast Asia has no real hope of saving enough money to create wealth "Saving" money is highly dependent on the global geographic birth lottery Comment from : misterfunnybones

The smallest element of this video, I think for me made the biggest impact - I CAN literally save a £1 a day! Thinking too big is off-putting, but tiny manageable chunks is the way to go! ^^ Comment from : Rita Greenwood

I'm in my 30's and it occurred to me, why should I wait until I'm old before I can retire? Why not live life now like I am retired, why wait until I'm too old to live life? Why waste my life trying to get to retirement when I can live that life now? brA bit over a year ago, I did make the decision to retire, I wish I did it earlier Comment from : Punchy Middle Earth

I find it intriguing that people have so much difficulty to save For me it's simple: what makes me save and invest as much as I can is the thought that possibly, in some 15 years from now, I'll be able to do whatever I want with my time and still be able to pay my bills Comment from : Paulo Lima

This was a visually pretty, well assembled video with total horse-pucky for content Comment from : Adamantine

From the book … Mind Power … author … John Kehoe … We might be far more willing to learn how to use our mental mechanisms if we imagined for a moment that for every thought we either gained a dollar or lost a dollar, depending on the type of thought Considering we think thousands of thoughts every day, this is quite a proposition Imagine an accounting system noting our every thought and recording which ones gained us money and which ones lost us money How diligent we would be in controlling and directing our thoughts How enthusiastically we would create those thoughts which made us money, and how carefully we would avoid those which lost us money Comment from : June VanDerMark

I love when he says that he is trying to deploy in a couple of minutes 20 years of studying the brainbr I think when i see my behaviour is not just my psycology, is also neuroscience and chemical reactions, and digestive system Today i for example i ate a burger for breakfast with some spicy sauce that make me almost impossible to avoid searching instant gratification during the morningbrbr Why is that? My stomach leading my thinking, my decision makingbrbr Other times im fine but honestly my habit is instant gratification like almost all my generation So i need at least to train it And changebr Other times im nervous and buy a vitamin water with complex b and magnesium and suddendly im relax and patient, my chemical me expressingbrbr So how many factors lead the outcomebrbr Great video i took note the activities he considers key to work on my brain structure to be good on planning at long term brGood work Comment from : Antonio Silva

Big Think is full of videos like this A lot of circular and cliché talking but not much concrete advice or deep analysis brOverall not very useful The only thing I got out of this video that was any use to me is "saving one dollar a day is better than saving nothing", but I already knew this concept Comment from : Jason

The power of imagination, got it Comment from : Ryan Green

This seems like such a rich people problem “How much do I spend now to enjoy my life?”brbrNone Nothing Because you don’t have it to spend or save I try to imagine what these coddled, entitled, privileged elites would do if they had to live for a few days or a week with a change jar and $1846 in their checking Let alone if that was their constant reality day-in, day-out, year after year, while still trying to give your children extras and spoil them whenever you get the chance because they don’t know what poverty is…brbrHow much better the world would be if those of us that had nothing held all the power and those of you that had everything given to you held no power… Comment from : Josef Svejk

THIS INSTANT is the only answer brbrYou need to learn how to use language brbr"You cannot be happy over time" - This sentence does not make sense brbrHappiness is a cookie your brain bakes for itself brbrThis idea that the more you imagine it, you will realize it and the more motivated you will be Is just pointing to an agency and not actually explaining how the brain works I could also say: "The more you look at something, the better models your brain will make about it and you will have better predictions about the future of that model" Comment from : Douwe

The truth and the fact of the matter is that tomorrow doesn't exist! It's an imagination about what we think it could be like In times of uncertainty, we will almost always choose to live in the now!
