students and blue collar workers are the ones who hang out here regularly secondly you got the standard ones these are priced normally and are usually the big franchises think Starbucks for coffee and Planet Fitness for gyms then there's the elite ones you'll find these only in high-end neighborhoods think Equinox as a gym and that one Coffee Spot that serves single origin specialty coffee and the coffee machine costs more than your University tuition you know the spots if you want to make friends that are around the same level of lifestyle that you can afford you pay up accordingly premium

nanny if you've got more than one child you know just how valuable having help around the house is some of you think that having one of the grandmothers around is the same thing but you are mistaken my friend hired help is way more professional they get the job done efficiently and to your request and they know what they're doing you don't hire a nanny to raise the kid on your behalf but the nanny acts like the CEO of the household when it comes to the baby solving things that need solving so you can focus on what makes a difference in most places it costs between twenty to thirty thousand dollars per year an executive coach look here's the thing you made a bit of money and then you got complacent usually when you are your own boss you are the CEO there's nobody to report to so you rely on that self-motivation skill to push yourself and the company forward sounds good in theory and it worked so far but on the medium and long-term Horizons the inefficiencies are clear the highest cost you'll pay in life is that on the information you don't know you're missing you simply don't know what you need to do the difference between where you are now and making one million dollars per month is solely attributed to you not knowing how to make one million dollars per month and what are the clear steps that you need to take to get there fortunately for the super rich there are these people called executive coaches that do just that they help CEOs grow faster based on what they've learned in their own career a good executive coach costs around fifty thousand dollars a

between four to six thousand dollars for a king and the set with the pillows and everything else will run you around seven thousand two hundred dollars if you already have a good mattress just buy some decent High thread count sheets these should cost between 200 and 400 bucks make sure there are over 1200 thread count and you're good to go travel is one of the few things that makes you richer when you spend money the more money you spend the further you can get from what you're used to just think about that for a second there are parts of the world that will change you as a human being if you get to experience them but money is the only thing standing between you and that progress the reason why we love traveling so much is because it gets you stories to tell and stories are the most valuable Commodities when you're sitting around other people and there are also levels to traveling ride a train from your place to the furthest City you can book a ticket to make sure the trip lasts at least a week you'll get your stories get in the car and drive across the country talk to the people you meet along the way there's also this trip called MSC World Tour it's a cruise ship that goes around the world in 120 days you stop in 56 beautiful locations although prices start around thirteen thousand dollars per person you'll need around 50k to have a comfortable experience as a couple but you see most of the world food and drinks are taken care of and you can even do remote work now before we jump on to the next one there's something similar that's exclusive to the super rich there's this Ultra Luxury Hotel chain called Amman they've got an experience called the grandest tour that costs 160 000 per person and it lasts 21 days where a private jet flies you to eight of their private hotels and you get to enjoy the absolute highest level of service if you want to do it alone we believe there's another 45 Kos a single supplement but you'd probably enjoy it more if you did it with someone you love the reason why the grandest tour fascinates us personally at alux is because the private jet has 16 seats so you'll get to experience this tour with 4 teen other successful people that can Splurge over 300 Grand on a 21-day trip a good divorce lawyer accountant and therapist doctors lawyers accountants and tattoo artists are some of the people you do not want to cheap out on because the long-term damage they can do to you is disproportionately higher than the cost divorces are rarely a pleasant experience and the financial hit is usually extremely high so you need the best soldiers fighting for your finances when it comes to accounting services a good accountant can return 10 to 1 000 times what you pay them as for the therapist nothing's worse than seeing someone who simply doesn't have the skill set required to help you to get to where you need to be in life you've met people who just want to milk you dry and keep you coming back forever if you're able to differentiate between the real and the pretenders well it depends on your own understanding of what needs to happen and how Transformations are rarely immediate but you're going to be paying

waiting for you on the app go to alux.com app right now and get started flying business or private if the flight is longer than four hours you fly business your back will thank you if the flight is shorter than four hours and you need to get there on your own terms you fly private once you cross a certain level of income and net worth the way you think about time changes the only way to know you've reached it is this if you think flying business class or flying private is expensive you're not there yet just to put things into perspective chartering a private jet costs around twelve thousand dollars per hour give or take if this is the cost to get home to your kids the same day you closed a deal well to some people that's worth it high-end cars and other membership clubs when you're young and broke you don't really understand how the world works when we were young we thought people bought supercars in order to a drive fast and B impress girls spending 200 300 400 000 to a million dollars or more on a car to drive fast impress girls made no sense to us until we made some money ourselves and got to be around people who have extensive car collections and what we learned turned our world upside down expensive cars are actually private membership clubs you don't actually buy a Ferrari to drive it fast and impress people you buy it as a ticket to join the Ferrari Owners Club every couple of months Ferrari creates these exclusive events for Supercar owners where you get to network and do business with other people who can afford to buy these Ferraris and it's the same with all of the top brands the supercars provide access to private Networks the European Gumball 3000 costs around fifty thousand dollars per car to join that's just the ticket to attend you bring your own car it's close to one hundred thousand if you want to do both us and Europe they're also planning to have one in the Middle East it takes place over six days and this year it was from the UK to Montenegro there are other experiences like these that might seem ridiculous to the average person but to those who can afford them are definitely worth it quality clothes and Footwear a person spends their entire life either in bed on a chair or on their feet invest in all three if you stand all day on cloud five push hokka Clifton nines and New Balance Foams are pretty comfortable and look hate on Kanye all you want but Yeezys are also pretty comfy from shoes we can extrapolate that to your entire wardrobe there's a saying you might be familiar with that goes like this you buy cheap you buy twice turns out the lower quality something is the lower the number of times you use or wear it so this brings us to something you'll remember for the rest of your life when investing in any piece of clothing try to figure out the cost per wear if you pay sixty dollars for a cheap pair of shoes you wear only twice the cost per wear is thirty dollars if you buy a nice pair for 150 and wear them 10 times all the cost per wear is only fifteen dollars this is how you justify spending thousands of dollars on certain items a two thousand dollar trench coat from Burberry makes sense when you'll be wearing it every spring and Autumn for the next 10 years when you've got a luxury product you actually enjoy wearing it more but be careful of the luxury goods that you don't wear much this is why some items in the store are discounted they're not the most useful or Timeless pieces so your cost per wear is higher once you understand how to measure this return on items acquired the way you shop changes forever concerts and meeting your Heroes people think concerts are just another form of entertainment like going to the movies but it's not concerts and Live Events allow you to take part in something truly unique to be a part of a moment in time believe it or not this is why people spend up to twenty thousand dollars to see Taylor Swift live you'll never be this age again watching your favorite artist perform live it's an experience it's a Memory money opens up a lot of doors and gets you into some interesting rooms if you know how to spend it get the meet and greet go to the book signing of your favorite author book a private session with your favorite Chef or whoever you look up to it feels like you're living and not just surviving and last but certainly not least charity most of you think you can't afford to give money to charity most of you also think that your life lacks meaning if you were to make a chart of those two segments there's a lot of overlap there they say nobody went poor by giving and as we keep growing up we realize just how true that is the outcome of giving and having an impact in the lives of others is a pretty big boost to your self-esteem you feel like your life wasn't wasted your happiness goes up when you see that you have the power to make other people happy too if you don't know where to start know that you already do by watching this video at alux we've made it a core part of our business philosophy to keep giving last year we built the first alux International School in Uganda the only free self-sustaining School in the
