Introduction.

There is so much bad financial advice out there.

How many of these advisors are rich? Should you be listening to their advice? When it comes to advise about money, the most important thing to remember is to consider the source.

Much of the financial advice you’ll hear will come from people who work for mutual funds companies, and their agenda is to get you to put your money into mutual funds, They have their agenda that doesn’t involve your best interest.

What are those pieces of advice that makes you poor?

1. Always Find Ways To Save Money.

You always hear tips on how to save money.

“Make your coffee in the morning instead of going to Starbucks”,

or

Get an Uber, instead of thinking of buying your car.

The reason why this is bad financial advice is that the more focused you are on saving your money, the less focused you’ll be on making money.

2. Put Your Money Into Mutual Funds.

Putting some money away in a mutual fund won’t get you rich. If you put a bit of money into a mutual fund every month for 10, 20 or 30 years, what will happen? When you retire, you will be okay.

Not even comfortable.

Because of inflation, you won’t be rich. Hopefully, if the market doesn’t crash, by the time you retire you will have a little bit of money to live off of.

If the market does crash, your entire life savings will vaporize, just like that.

3. Hustle.

Hustling will only make you tired, not rich.

If you develop a high-income skill, you can make very good money without working around the clock.

Without hustling every hour of the day. It’s ok to have a side hustle to generate extra income, but don’t think that hustling around the clock will get you rich.
