If you’re someone who’s gonna blow money, you’re gonna gamble it away by doing speculative types of investments, using debt is not for you.” “Cash flow opens up options and when you have options, you have more freedom.” “In fact, the interest rate for banks are really just smokescreens. They’re really used to manipulate your human behavior to do what they want you to do.” “You take that amount owed, divide it by the minimum monthly payment, and that gives you the cash flow index.” “Don’t go for the highest interest rate, don’t necessarily go for the lowest balance, go for the lowest cash flow index loan that you have, and remember, go off the minimum monthly payment. Not what you’re paying, but what they’re actually requiring you to pay.”
