Cómo hacerse ricos

I started watching the show in hope I'll learn a few tricks/tips about investment with the money I have saved, not learn elementary class mathematics. If you're spending more than you're making, well, surprise surprise! You'll be in debt. To pay off your debt quicker, what do you do? More surprises! Cut off expenses and pay off more every month for the debt.

If you pay 1000 instead of 700 you'll get rid off your debt in 13 years instead of 18, mind-blown? Yeah, not really.

The only thing I liked about the show is that these people do need help and glad someone decided to do so. And probably that I have better financial intelligence in my mid 20s than people in their 40s.

It could have been OK and worth the time, had it actually really focused on showing what they were going to need to work on (each person) and what they did to change things. They did not do that. 80% (if not more) of the focus was on the host. I have to say most of his advice (what little they did actually say on the show) is very basic. Nothing new. Were I going to pay for any financial advice, I would not be paying him. If you want to watch a show that is more about the ego of the host, then this is the show for you. He is happy to keep showing himself and talking to the camera. Now if you want actual financial advice, information that can help you with your own life, look elsewhere. Seriously!

I am on the first show and I was very interested until you brought on the lame over indulged woman who gets $25,000 for CHILD support and not only throws it away on herself but then whines she can't pay her child's tuition. Inconceivable to those potential viewers who are actually struggling to stick with a budget and learn to direct small investments for their future. She is an absurd caricature. Also, the couple with the stay at home Dad. Respect a dad who looks after his children but probably needs to work outside the house on singular contracts and get daycare. Perhaps the wife could split work from home and office . Gosh, comprises!

Cry me a river.

The show offers some practical tips on how to live within your means. He kind of presents himself as a Suze Orman solving the spending habits of everyday people. Basically it comes down to spending less in a year than you make and keeping the process habitual, which, initially, can be a huge shock to a lot of people and really make you re-evaluate everything from how many friends you keep to what you keep in the fridge, but if money management were taught in grade school people would be in much better financial positions overall.

The problem I have with the show is that his definition of rich is different from mine. From the title, I thought that I'd be introduced to different revenue streams or investment concepts that could build passive income in a short period of time with the goal to live off these investments if I had to.

This show has so much to learn from. I don't understand these negative reviews. There are a lot of great concepts that help you think about investing smart, meaningful spending, enjoying your life, and saving for retirement. We all know these things but hardly ever consider how to balance it all. Quite literally, how he says- design your rich life. I got the book, too, to help with my finances. I am definitely hooked for life.

I definitely hope they come up with more seasons and episodes. So much to learn. Brilliant advice about using a financial advisor by the hour vs % charges. Great ideas by the characters, too. Love it all.
