Transcript

Hi, this is Ernie again. I'm that guy who had $6,000 in a checking account and now having millions of dollars. Over the weekend, I received a lot of comments and messages saying, many of you do not have enough money to invest, to do what I do, selling options and make, generate weekly income. So I want to dedicated this, this particular video for those who do not have a lot of money to invest. And before I actually dive into how to build wealth, um, couple months ago, maybe four, five months ago, maybe even longer than that, I started a baby account with Robinhood and what I did was every day I put $5 in there. You might not have enough money to put, or enough money to put even $5 on a daily basis, but I wanted to show you how small amount of money could eventually add up. Um, so that you'd be encouraged to start. And if you go to, for example, SoFi, even if you open an account for $5, uh, if you use my link, they give you $25 for free. So now, rather than five, you have $30 to start. So there are so many different ways you get little bits and pieces of money here and there. And of course, you know, not going to Starbucks, not buying water from outside. I mean, I went to, we went to Denver over the weekend and we did not buy one single drink outside. So that's how you typically save money or not waste money. But let me show you what happened to that account where I started adding $5 every single day, not over the weekend, just trading days, and I bought VOO, that's the S&P 500 index fund, known to do extremely, extremely well. Um, but let me show you exactly what happened to it.
