What Peter Flom said.Hold on, let me ask you this first.If your plan was to refuse payment to 3,500 plus contractors, vendors, etc. and endure the time and expense of litigation,If your reputation for paying back the banks is so bad that no US bank will lend to you,If brag about your negotiating skills but announce you won't need to do much preparation before meeting with a nuclear power that has actually fired ICBMs,If you managed to alienate virtually every US ally in order to reward a country that has been an enemy of the US for over 7 decades,If you are so unfocused that during a Hurricane (Harvey), you send 5 disjointed tweets based upon what you saw on FoxNews or CNN,If numerous news stories describe you as fuming (an adjective most often used to describe a child's temper tantrum) on a regular basis,If you regularly say so many things that are false, that news websites now regularly track them,If you enjoy hinting about what you will do next because it excited “fans” (Note to self: find out if Peter knows if Chess Grand Masters have “fans”),If you ran for President because you saw it as an opportunity to make money and improve your cash flow,Then what Peter said.

Imagine you’re in the middle of the desert.Imagine that when you work, you get paid in water.The first problem you will bump into will be how to store your water.Solution?Use a glass instead of your hands.Second problem?The water will evaporate with time, correct?To solve this you need a canteen with a cap to prevent evaporation.Great!The next challenge will be to resolve long term reserves.This seems like a simple solution; you get multiple canteens and build up your store.Amazing!Next problem…When you lose your strength to work, you will need to start consuming those canteens. Your life expectancy in the desert will be determined by the number of canteens you were able to accumulate during your work life.Some people in the desert may have accumulated enough to drink during their elder years, some won’t.Ideal solution?Own a water well in the desert.(Source of all images: Google)Interpretation of the analogy:Water = Money (cash)Water in a glass that evaporates = Cash in a bank.Water in a canteen = Assets that appreciate with inflation. They maintain their value over time. Some examples are commodities like oil, gold and silver.Accumulated water in canteens = Savings in assets.Losing strength to work = Retirement.Water well = Cash flowing assets.Lesson of the analogy:Money is only a mechanism of exchange that holds a temporary storage of value.If you save cash, time will ‘evaporate’ its current value.Some assets protect us from monetary volatility. This is specially important in third world countries like my Mexico.Accumulating assets may not be enough to guarantee your retirement because you will need to liquidate them to pay for your needs.The water well represents cash flowing assets. These assets produce passive income, meaning they produce cash even while you sleep.To answer your question, how can you improve your personal finances?One of the best ways to improve your personal finances is by investing intentionally in cash-flowing assets.The most common are real estate rentals, businesses and royalties.Your first step is to protect your savings from the external influence of monetary policies that will “evaporate” the value of your hard work.Be in control of your finances and #NeverGiveUp!

You cannot claim to have worked in finance unless you have been fired at least twice. You do not want to resign. You want to get fired.The irony about Financials is that they judge companies with stock ratings and stuff, but are by far the worst managed companies. They hire with guaranteed bonuses and outrageous packages around the peak of the market and fire everyone around the bottom. There is a saying that you should invest your severance package in the markets.In general, you want to get fired as companies will offer a severance package. This is assorted with a gardening leave where you go drinking beers on a beach somewhere in Thailand.Migration season is right after bonuses hit the bank. I have seen a few mercenaries who would switch shop for a modest +5–10% raise. Spotty resumes is not good though.One thing i have done was to start a side business in 2012. The day after my wedding, i had a serious kitesurfing accident. I nearly died …twice. I was in New Caledonia and thought: “thank God i am no longer in HF world. I would have been fired”. I thought i needed to build a cash flow business in case i would become invalid. So, i started buying real estate. We started small and now have a few buildings. This provides us with cash flow and we don’t need to suck up another yard of sh..t working for the man.The point about this story is: people in finance are unbelievably bad about managing their own money. They think those paychecks will go on forever. People told me what i was doing was risky. I believe it was the other way around. Life expectancy in finance is short. One day you will be fired and someone will say you are too old. Game over! My advice to any finance personnel is to start a side business while you have a fat paycheck. Banks will lend to you. Lever up while you can. Now, the same people who laughed at me a few years ago kick themselves for not having done the same thing. My advice is: concentrate on your side business because life expectancy in finance is short and unpredictable.
