Charlie Munger : 7 Rules That Separate the Wealthy from People Who Stay Broke || Charlie Munger

I'm 99 years old, and I've watched two men with the same salary end up with completely different lives. One died with $12 million. The other died broke with $47,000. The difference? 7 simple rules.

In this video, I'll share the exact 7 rules that separate people who build lasting wealth from people who stay broke forever—no matter how much money they make.

🎯 THE 7 RULES COVERED:

1. Pay Yourself First (or Pay Everyone Else Forever)
→ How saving just 25% created $349,000 vs $87,000 in debt

2. Buy Assets That Produce Income (Not Liabilities)
→ Why a $30,000 duplex became $400,000 while a $50,000 boat became worthless

3. Avoid Permanent Loss of Capital
→ The math that will save your financial life: if you lose 50%, you need 100% gain to break even

4. Never Leverage Your Primary Residence
→ How one man owned a $600,000 home free and clear while another lost everything

5. Stay Married to the Same Person
→ Why divorce is the fastest way to destroy wealth (faster than market crashes)

6. Invest in Learning Over Entertainment
→ How 3 hours every Saturday for 40 years created $12 million in knowledge

7. Be Patient for Decades, Not Months
→ Why $500/month for 40 years = $1.7 million (but most people quit after 2 years)

📊 REAL STORIES FEATURED:
• John vs Michael (same law school, $12M vs $47K outcome)
• Sarah the teacher (retired at 57 with $2.3M on $45K salary)
• Carlos the janitor (retired with $900K on $35K salary)
• And how I lost everything at 29 with $12.43 to my name

💰 KEY LESSONS:
→ You don't need a high income to build wealth
→ The first 10 years of investing only gets you $90K, but the last 10 years gets you $940K
→ Compound interest works—but only if you're patient for decades
→ Wealth = Security + Freedom + Peace of Mind (not just money)
