I don't know who needs to hear this but your job is not your family.

Companies are not families, they're businesses, it's a business relationship and their only goal is to make money. If they can make more money by laying you off, they will.

You don’t owe your job anything beyond the work you're being paid to do.

Prioritize your own growth and well-being over misplaced loyalty. If you have an opportunity to better yourself, never feel guilty about taking it.

Your boss won't remember the long hours or late nights you spent working.

The people who will remember are you and your family.

Working hard is important, but your health and family are what matter most in the long run.

While work serves a purpose, it should never define you, or come before your well-being.

The wealthy avoid taxes using the “Buy-Borrow-Die” strategy:

Step 1: Buy assets and hold (to avoid capital gains taxes from selling)

Step 2: Borrow money from Banks for living expenses using assets as collateral, at low interest rates (while assets appreciate)

Step 3: Interest paid on borrowed money is a tax write off

Step 4: Wait and repeat. The long-term gains on assets outweigh the short-term cost of borrowing money

Step 5: Pass assets to kids, tax-free (with stepped-up basis) and repeat

The best measurement of wealth is time.

Value is derived from scarcity, and time is the most scarce resource we will ever have.

Time is non-renewable, non-replenishable and non-refundable. Once time is spent, you can never get it back.

Money is an exchange of value, for time — And not enough people protect their time.

We all make mistakes, no one is perfect.

Money mistakes only become a problem if we don’t learn from them and repeat them.

Being rich is having money, being wealthy is having time.

Time is a non refundable resource and when it’s gone, it’s gone forever.

The biggest privilege that money can create, is complete freedom and control of your time.
