Kevin O'Leary says most people waste $15,000 a year on stupid stuff like $5 coffees
"Stop buying coffee for five dollars and fifty cents"
"You go to work and you spend $15 bucks on a sandwich, what are you an idiot. It costs you 99 cents to make a sandwich at home and bring it with you"
"Bring your own water, your own drink or your own coffee mug. You start to add that up every day it's a ton of money"
"Most people starting on their job making their first $60,000 piss away about $15,000 a year"
My wife was at the dealership to get a tire rotation and balance.
This was known to be a little over $100 and the oil change is about $100.
So naturally we expected a bill of maybe $200-$220 when it was done.
Wife texts and says it’s going to be $325.
She said because they said I needed an air filter.
So I called and asked them to itemize it for me before she drives off.
The air filter was $75!
I told them not to do it.
He said “it’s already in”
I said, “take it out, I just found a set of air and cabin filters for $20 as we talked. If I can get it for that, a Mazda dealer is getting it for less and it’s two thumb clips to change.”
He said “I can’t do that”
I said “you can and you will because if you don’t I’ll never buy there again and I’ll tell everyone and anyone not to. Is that worth the price of a $20 filter”
He said, “ok, sir… but to be clear, she agreed to it”
I said, “of course she did, but I didn’t set up an appointment for an air filter and I never would.”
My point is this— people need to push back. This has all gotten incredibly ridiculous.
Folks, I bought a filter set for a Maserati for $22 dollars and that was 2 air filters & a cabin filter, and all of 10 minutes TOTAL to replace.
I truly believe that all of this has to do with us no longer teaching kids (or wives) that certain things in life are absolutely easy to do.

Become addicted with investing because you already don’t want to go to work now as is. You definitely don’t want to be clocking in at 50 asking another adult if you can take 3 days of leave for vacation. Take investing seriously because it matters.
