The Autumn Statement was the definition of a mixed bag. There was a National Insurance cut, but the stealth income tax raid continued. The Isa system got an improvement, but the allowance remained frozen. Meanwhile, the triple lock was delivered along with a pension pot-for-life plan but inheritance tax remains firmly uncut at 40 per cent, with all its weird quirks intact. So, was that an Autumn Statement to fire Britain on to growth, as the Chancellor claimed, or a damp squib? On this week's podcast, Georgie Frost, Tanya Jefferies, Helen Crane and Simon Lambert dive into the details to reveal what the Autumn Statement means for you and the economy. From the Office of Budget Responsibility forecasts, to being allowed multiple Isas and the seemingly mad plan of allowing family homes to be easily converted to flats, the team take the measure of Jeremy Hunt's plans. And they look ahead to whether there will be more tax cuts to come in the Budget – and whether Britain's stealth tax and marginal tax trap mess will ever get sorted.

The Wealth Standard – Empowering Individual Financial Independence
Patrick talks about how to get a 10% raise for life by investing in yourself. People are spending their time away from their families, loved ones or even the things they love to do in exchange for money. The hard money they earned is invested in other things such as retirement plans. Instead of investing the money to other things, Patrick points out to allocate it to the most important one – yourself. As people grow and expand, investing in human life value assets will ultimately lead to more money. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share! Join The Wealth Standard community today:

Learn how to shorten the path to wealth. It's listener question Friday! Yesterday a listener asked me what was the quickest way to become a millionaire? Although getting rich quick is not recommended because it’s usually accompanied by high risk of loss, I want to talk about something related to it that is important for you to know. First, let’s talk about what creates wealth? When creating wealth, the one thing that matters the most is the rate at which you compound money. It’s not all about how much money you have to start with. Compounding grows your money and creates additional money. Learn more by listening to the podcast.

Learn what is important to understand about how the financial industry works. Recently I was talking to a friend about the book I’m writing. She mentioned a few things to me that she didn’t understand. This woman is well-educated, middle aged and very successful. She lives in an expensive urban city. She’s savvy, but I was surprised by what she had to say. 1. She couldn’t be good with finances because she’s not good at math. Financial matters have little to do with math. 2. Why are banks intimidating? She said she feels intimidated to go into a bank lobby and like she has to beg to get her own money. That is by design. You own your money of course, but banking is a fractional reserve business. That means they have only a small amount of cash on hand, the rest is created by computer digits, like when they make a mortgage loan. The worst thing that could happen is if everyone demanded their money at once. They do everything to discourage it. They even make you wait and have to send for cash from other branches if you want a few thousand in cash. They can also make you feel like you’re suspicious. 3. Why people call her from the bank and try to get her to move her money. Banks are in business to make a profit. Some employees are on commission. If they are providing a “service” call to you, it sounds like they will earn a commission if they move your money into a higher fee financial product. 4. Along the same lines, I want to share my health insurance story. I received a letter in the mail that my health insurance was being cut off. They gave a phone number to an agency and a website that didn’t have health plans on it. It basically forced me to call an agent. The agent showed me one company and told me the premium would be 70% higher than what I had been paying. She wanted to sign me up. I asked if there was a website and she reluctantly gave it, then abruptly wanted to get off the phone with me. On the website there were 5 companies with multiple plans and the premium stays about the same as what I had been paying. Let’s look at what happened and what you need to know about how the industry works. The premiums were so much higher partly because the person on the phone was probably going to be paid a commission every time I pay my premium. She would get a cut of what I’m paying. I suspected this and that is why I wanted to go to the website directly. It’s similar to booking a hotel directly at the hotel or finding a cheaper rate online. Bottom line: when you are dealing with people, they often work on a commission sales basis. The cheaper route - and by the way the identical coverage - is provided online when you buy it yourself. You may already know all this, but I was surprised my friend didn’t. I don’t hear a lot of people talk about these basics, so I’m glad we covered them today. Please subscribe to the podcast!

Learn why spending to save money can be a trap. Shopping - have you ever still had tags on clothes you’ve never worn in the closet? How does that happen? Something happened that I wasn’t conscious of until now. I bought 2 velour sweatsuits. Looked at other pieces but didn’t like them. Next they were on sale. I picked out 5 to try on, even though I didn’t like them the week before. Suddenly I was convincing myself that they were such a good deal I should just get all 5! Then I caught myself. Wait a minute. I don’t even like them! The “savings” idea had taken over my logical brain! This is how we get clutter, clothes we don’t wear, etc. It has to be based on price because if we liked it, we would wear them! Our closets get full of shoes and clothes that we “collect”, but we can only wear one at a time. If you wore one pair of shoes or one top without repeating, how many days until it took you to wear them all? Are you not going to wear something, in order to wear this? Closets are becoming poverty traps! Money is pouring into things we don’t even wear while retirement accounts go without funding. Next time you are buying multiples, ask yourself, do I really like these? Do I want to wear them tomorrow? Because if you’re not excited to wear it, you don’t really want it. “Saving” by spending is a fallacy. The only real saving is putting money into an account where your net worth increases.

Learn why it’s the big mistakes that keep you from financial success, not the small ones. Here’s another article about giving up coffee or cigarettes and how it will make you rich. Article from Business Tech: “Why your daily coffee is stopping you from becoming a millionaire.” There are sayings like, “Watch your pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves.” “A penny saved is a penny earned.” Just give up lattes and invest that money instead…and eventually you’ll become a millionaire. "The Latte Factor" was invented by author David Bach, whom I really respect. I believe it was a demonstration of compounding more than selling the idea of skipping coffee. Over a long enough time, compounding even a small amount will grow into millions. What the purchasing power will be is another question. I disagree with this frugal focus. It’s not the small stuff that gets ya, it’s the BIG mistakes. Moving costs/interest/commissions/remodeling costs from moving often will cost you a lot more than a few dollars. Buying cars every 3 to 4 years is a mistake that will cost you thousands. Invest that and over 25 years it can be $250k. Where people go wrong is not learning how to invest. A friend has had success with real estate, which is great, but in 2008 almost lost everything because a luxury spec home they build which they thought would sell for $3 million at the peak, they had to let go for a $1.5 million, below their breakeven. Instead of investing, I noticed their house it full to the brim - drawers in the guest room are full, guest closets are all full, the garage is too full for 2 cars, the basement is packed full of stuff! That tells me there are no investing goals that are being followed, there’s a lot of spending that’s extraneous and things aren’t being used. It’s not for me to judge, but I do notice that there’s no money for anything because there’s so much clutter! How many people are surrounded by clutter from small purchases that make you feel good or volume purchases at COSTCO that accumulates a lot of stuff you don’t use. These are the reasons you haven’t reached your financial goals. That - and an investment plan that will help you compound at a higher rate (Step 5 of the 6 Steps to Wealth). The reason why a home is the largest asset for a lot of people is not just because home prices has been one of the best performing asset classes for the last 20 years, but because of the “forced savings” that a mortgage causes you to have. Paying a payment for 30 years, is a forced discipline that is paying off your interest and principal monthly. As you pay down your debt, the equity in your home increases, thereby giving you more net worth every month. Disciplined investing (in this case by borrowing), is a secret that will help you build wealth. Regular deductions into a 401k or IRA or mutual fund or brokerage account will provide systematic payments into investments that can compound at 8 to 10% over the long run, if history repeats. So let’s not sweat the coffee. Watch the hundreds and thousands you spend, not the pennies.

Learn how to avoid common financial scams. Recently I got an email offer to buy a domaine name for $55,000. It was from a Japanese business who said they had a healthy budget to spend and what price did I want? A second email specified how the transaction would take place and mentioned a German escrow account. They mentioned a 5% commission paid for by both parties. They wanted me to pay to them (5% of $55k = $2,750). I don't think so! What a scam. I also heard a scam involving German escrow accounts was going around. There are more scams happening that I want to warn you about. There’s a common one with real estate. I have an article to share with you about it.

Learn what habits are supposed to make you a millionaire and which ones really will. Recently I came across an article on habits to become a millionaire. The only problem was, it was so ridiculous it made me laugh! Here are some of the points they said could make you a millionaire: If you make your bed, you're 206% more likely to become a millionaire. Seriously. Make your bed? Hmmm. What else did it say? Well, it didn't recommend any specific financial things to do, but a list of seemingly random things like: *Smile at your neighbors *Wake up early *Read books (but not necessarily financial ones) *Make a to-do list *Work hard *Don't gossip *Talk less *Listen more Seriously! This was the list! This is supposed to be great information to help you become a millionaire? I don't think so. Financial information should help you get ahead, be specific and actionable. Financial literacy is lacking, this is a good example why. Becoming a millionaire isn’t random acts, it’s specific steps. That’s why I coined the “6 Steps to Wealth”. It’s the step-by-step description. 1. Create a Wealthy Mindset 2. Save a Nestegg 3. Find a Mentor/Knowledge 4. Invest in a Money Engine 5. Compound at a High Rate 6.

Learn the one thing NOT to do after accomplishing a big goal. Hit the subscribe button! Whether on TV or on the internet, there are people knocking the ball out of the park. They are creating new businesses, generating additional revenue streams and having success. If what I said frustrates you, then sit down and have a goal session and re-set your goals. You always want to stay in a positive frame of mind where you are happy to see other peoples’ success because it doesn’t take anything away from you (there is no scarcity) and it shows you what is possible. So cheer them on! Anyway, after the success, I see the same mistake being made. Can you guess what it is? Can you guess the first financial move they make after making it big? They just sold a business or made a million or had their best year ever. What do they do? Buy a brand spanking new expensive car! Lamborghini, Ferrari, Bentley or top of the line Mercedes, etc. A YouTuber had great success and was under 30 years old…bought a Lambo. It costs over $400k!!! Or the professional skier that bought a Lambo. Or the guy that bought the Aston Martin, or the girl on a reality show who bought a brand new Range Rover. We are talking $100k plus for a car that is guaranteed to be worth quite a bit less in a few years. Maybe the Lambos hold their value better, I don’t know, but with insurance and maintenance, it’s not cheap. They are trying so hard to impress us that they are “rich”. Or maybe they are just trying to reward themselves with their fantasy car. In any case, it’s such a huge mistake! Can you imagine investing $400k at 8% for 30 years? Do you have any idea what it would be worth? Take a guess - and this is the true “Opportunity Cost.” $4,025,000! This one thing done differently had the potential to set them up for LIFE. And they blew it! The thought is, I’ll make more. There’s more where this came from. The reality is, a big payday is rare and they often don’t have the success again. Don’t make this mistake! Don’t sacrifice a good time and looking rich, for the opportunity to actually set yourself up for life and be rich! Next time you’re on Instagram and see the guys showing off their Lambos, just remember they could have been set for life. Instead, they have a depreciating car that’s worth less every year.
