In this video, I want to share 9

0:02

money rules that I think I should have known

0:04

earlier. So I've noted some of them down

0:06

in this video and I'm going to

0:07

share them with you guys while doodling

0:09

on the iPad over here. You use this money rule

0:11

when you have an

0:13

income. So before you

0:15

spend, before you do

0:17

anything, you must have

0:19

strict rules regarding your finances. Because

0:22

with the right rules you will

0:25

avoid the wrong holes

0:26

which will ultimately lead to making

0:28

wrong decisions. The

0:30

effects of which you will feel in the next 5 to 10 years

0:32

. There are rules

0:34

about investing, there are rules about saving

0:36

, and there are rules about spending. So

0:38

let's go straight to the first rule,

0:39

namely the rule of 10.

0:45

So what is the rule of 10? yes.

0:47

If I wanted to buy an

0:48

iPhone now and this is real, I

0:51

personally applied it in 202122 back then

0:54

there was an iPhone called XR,

0:56

if I'm not mistaken, I bought

0:58

it for around Rp. 10 million and what

1:01

I applied to myself before I

1:03

could buy this Rp million cellphone, I had to have a

1:06

minimum net or wealth that was 10 times

1:10

more than the iPhone or than the

1:13

item I wanted to buy [snort]

1:15

and this rule of thumb applies until you

1:17

have 10 billion dollars, aka million

1:20

dollars.

1:21

10 billion.

1:23

So, for example, you want to buy an XR

1:26

, the price of this iPhone XR was back then, I

1:28

still have it now, the

1:30

price is IDR 10 million. This means that what

1:31

I should have in my rules

1:33

is IDR 10 million multiplied by a row of 10, so

1:37

I have to have IDR 100 million, then from

1:39

this IDR 00 million I can

1:41

spend or head on quotation marks to

1:44

something that we say is IDR million

1:46

. So, another example, let's say I

1:48

want to buy a car like that. This is my drawing of a

1:50

car as best I can.

1:53

Well, this is how it is. This car, let's say the

1:56

price is IDR 200 million. So

1:59

with a RLE of 10,

2:01

how many do you have to have? No, oh, I have

2:03

R00 million, so I'll just pay it in installments. I pay in installments, yes, I pay in installments of

2:06

Rp. 20 million every month. Yes,

2:08

this is the rule of 10, this is 1/10 of it.

2:11

Well, that's not how it works. But if

2:13

you have R00 million, you want to buy a

2:15

R00 million car, as long as you don't

2:17

really need it, then what you

2:19

have to do is

2:20

first save your money up to R200 million multiplied

2:22

by the rule of 10, which is R10 million.

2:25

This alias is R billion. You must have Rp.

2:28

2 billion. If you don't have Rp.

2:30

2 billion, don't buy a car, just

2:32

Grab it. Because Grab Gojek is like that,

2:34

it's always more profitable than

2:36

buying a car. The car is just about

2:38

psychological safety, right? About

2:40

you feeling safe. Just like a house, a

2:42

house is not something that is mandatory.

2:44

You can rent that house. The house is

2:46

just a psychological need. Buy

2:48

versus rent. Renting is always more

2:50

profitable than buying. The second rule of money is

2:52

, annualize everything.

2:55

So, what does annalize

2:57

everything mean? For example, I want to subscribe

2:59

to Netflix. Netflix costs Rp.

3:01

150,000 per month, for example. Well, what

3:04

I'm not allowed to do with

3:06

this money rule, I'm not allowed to look at this.

3:07

Oh, this is Rp. 150,000 per month that

3:09

I should do. Yes, I

3:11

annualize it, I multiply it by 12. So,

3:14

times 12, 150 times 12, this

3:17

gives a result of approximately IDR 1.8

3:20

million per year. So you have to look at

3:24

your expenses, yes, look at them per year,

3:26

not per month, so that they feel

3:28

higher. So you can separate whether

3:30

it's worth it or not. Because money

3:32

always looks small, right? When

3:33

you spend, spend,

3:35

spend, for example, you buy coffee today

3:37

. Oh, I bought coffee today. I

3:39

bought coffee today for only R30,000,

3:42

for example. But this R30,000, this is

3:44

only daily, this is per day. If it's per

3:46

week, oh for example, if I work 5 days

3:49

, that means I multiply it by 5, it's 150.

3:51

How much does that mean per month? You just

3:53

multiply it by 4 weeks, that's 600.

3:56

How much does this mean per year? So you

3:58

have to learn to multiply it by 1

4:00

year so you can know

4:02

how much your monthly expenses are, right? So you

4:04

can know how much money you spend in 1 year

4:05

by spending IDR 000,000

4:07

per day. That means 6 times 12,

4:10

if you multiply it you get the number 7.2

4:13

for example. So learn to multiply

4:15

by 12, okay? Annualize all your expenses.

4:19

But don't be mistaken, okay? I

4:20

don't want you to reduce

4:22

your spending. What you should do is

4:24

increase your income. You can't

4:26

reduce your expenses like that. But like

4:27

this, you get Netflix data worth Rp.

4:29

150,000 every month. Don't

4:31

look at it like that. I subscribe to Netflix so I

4:32

can watch thousands of hours of stuff like that, right? World of

4:34

Films is 1.8 million every year.

4:37

Is this worth it? Well, you have to

4:38

ask yourself that. If

4:40

you think it's worth it and go for it, then

4:43

why not? Same as copy for example.

4:45

Do you drink coffee every day when you wake up and go to work

4:48

every day? That's worth 7.2 million

4:51

every year based on

4:53

your current income. If it's worth it, that's

4:55

it, but if it's not worth it, don't

4:56

do it. So learn to see

4:58

or learn to evaluate whether

5:00

this is worth it. Not based on a

5:02

monthly basis, not based on a daily basis, but

5:05

annually, that's how it's calculated. That's the

5:07

second rule of money. The

5:09

third rule is to always look at the

5:11

total cost. I call it total

5:14

cost row. For example, if you want to buy a

5:17

cellphone, let's say it has three

5:21

cameras, right? Yes, the

5:24

latest iPhone, for example, the price of this iPhone

5:26

is IDR 10 million.

5:29

This is what ordinary people usually see,

5:31

oh this cellphone costs IDR 10 million. But

5:34

the fact is that this cellphone is not IDR 10 million. In fact,

5:37

after you bought a cellphone, what did you buy? Oh

5:40

I have to buy a case. Oh yeah, I have to

5:42

buy an additional screen protector, for example

5:46

. Oh I have to buy this additional charger

5:49

. For example, the casing costs Rp. 100,000. A

5:51

screen protector, for example, costs Rp. 100,000, a

5:54

charger, for example, Rp. 100,000, and then

5:57

there's the problem of, "Oh, I have to buy the apps

5:59

that are inside, I have to move them

6:00

, I have to buy A, B, C, and

6:03

so on." So, the total cost is

6:04

not actually IDR 10 million, it could be

6:06

IDR 1 million, for example. So, learn to look at

6:08

everything from the total cost.

6:10

That's another simple example.

6:12

For example, if you want to buy a car, well, this is the

6:14

knowledge that people have, for example, look, oh,

6:16

this is a car. This car costs, for example,

6:18

R billion, right? Yes, the price of this car is

6:20

IDR 1 billion. But you have to see

6:22

how much insurance there is

6:25

per year. How much do I have to pay

6:26

? Yes, for example, the insurance is IDR 50

6:29

million. Another example is I have to change

6:31

the oil, I have to buy petrol. So,

6:33

how much gasoline can this produce each year? For example

6:36

, I just bought Rp. 50 million.

6:38

Then oh yes, in this car, for example, there are

6:40

often damages and so on,

6:42

flat tires. For example, if we're talking about

6:43

additional costs, I don't know what they are

6:45

out there, right? add for example,

6:47

yes, we say Rp. 50 million. So the price you

6:50

paid for the car wasn't Rp billion. The price you

6:52

bought the car was Rp billion plus 50 + 50

6:56

+ 50. The price you bought the car was

7:00

billions like that. So learn to look at the

7:03

total cost, not just look at the label or

7:06

price tag. So when you already know

7:08

that when you want to buy, for example, a cellphone, you have to have a

7:10

casing, what else, and

7:12

then you have to add more, for example, you have to

7:14

have iCloud, for example, on an iPhone, you

7:16

have to have additional storage, you pay

7:18

again, for example, IDR 100,000, so to

7:20

maintain this cellphone,

7:23

for example, every year, you need IDR 400,000, so

7:25

you pay IDR 10 million to spend IDR

7:28

400,000 every year. Well, it

7:30

should be like that. For example, car

7:32

insurance, you pay R billion to

7:35

take out, for example, R50 million.

7:37

So you have to see whether you are capable or

7:39

not. So this goes back to

7:40

rule number one, right? You have to

7:42

have 10 times the rule of 10. This

7:44

has to be in your cash, like that. If

7:47

your money is tight, for example, you

7:48

want to buy a car worth IDR 1 billion, but your money is

7:50

only IDR 1.5 billion, for example. So, the

7:55

remaining IDR 00 million is gone, suddenly in 1

7:58

year your money is minus, for example, it

8:01

becomes IDR 350 million, which is a decrease of IDR 50 million.

8:04

Why? Because of insurance, because of petrol,

8:06

and other additional costs.

8:08

This Rp. 150 million of your money leaves you with 350. So

8:10

basically you can't afford to buy

8:12

this car. So learn to see what is

8:14

called the total cost rule. So you

8:16

have to look at the total cost of everything

8:18

because there is always something called

8:19

hidden cost in someone's sales. The

8:21

fourth rule, in my opinion, is

8:23

quite life-changing, namely cost

8:25

peruse.

8:27

This is me, I used to really like buying

8:29

shoes. So when I earn a

8:31

lot of money, I buy a total of

8:33

three or four shoes in my wardrobe.

8:35

And I don't know this concept. If

8:37

I had known this concept earlier, I

8:38

wouldn't have bought so many shoes. So

8:40

, for example, let's say I have one

8:42

shoe over here. Think of these as

8:44

shoes. Well, this is shoe A. Then this is

8:47

shoe B. Well, this shoe A, for example,

8:50

costs Rp. 1 million, right? I've bought

8:52

these B shoes. I suddenly a

8:54

few days after that I wanted to

8:56

buy it too, the price was for example IDR 5 million

8:59

cost per use. You have to calculate this cost per rule,

9:01

okay? Approximately

9:03

how long will these shoes last? 1

9:05

year for example. Assume that in 1 year there are

9:06

365 days, let's assume that

9:10

you will wear shoes for 300

9:12

days. That means cost per use, right? Every

9:14

time you wear these shoes B, it's R1.5

9:17

million divided by 300. You just have to

9:20

scribble on it and so on, right?

9:22

In other words, the cost for you to wear these B shoes once

9:26

is Rp. 5,000. Well, this is what you use like

9:29

that. Now, for example, if you have two

9:31

shoes, for example shoes A and B,

9:34

then suddenly you buy another shoe C.

9:36

But you can't wear

9:37

shoes with B and C like that. You don't

9:40

get legs like that. You only have two legs. Yes, that

9:42

means you have to count, right? For example, C

9:43

is because I already have shoes over

9:45

here, shoe A, right?

9:47

I've already worn shoe B. Shoe C, for example,

9:50

also costs the same IDR 5 million, but

9:53

I only wore this shoe C maybe 20

9:55

times before it eventually broke and I had to

9:58

change the series. So what

9:59

I should calculate is,

10:01

how much will it cost me to wear these shoes once? Once I

10:03

wear these C shoes, they cost Rp. 75,000

10:07

per use. So learn to

10:10

look at the cost per user. I'm wearing

10:13

C shoes for R5,000, is it worth it?

10:15

If you think it's worth it, just go ahead

10:17

. But in my opinion, if you

10:20

already have too many of these and you

10:21

feel like this doesn't work, then

10:23

don't buy it because you'll only use it

10:24

a few times. Besides, humans

10:26

can get bored easily. So the

10:27

fourth rule is that the cost per lu must be calculated

10:29

. For example, this is an example of shoes that I

10:31

personally have experience with. You

10:33

can also use gadgets if you want to

10:35

buy two gadgets. How long do you use a gadget at one time

10:36

? You want to buy toys like that,

10:40

everything can be applied. The fifth money rule

10:42

is the 30 day roll. Well,

10:45

you may have heard this often. So

10:47

learn to postpone it 30 days

10:49

later. So, what exactly is this 30

10:51

days roll? For example, let's say

10:53

there's a cellphone here, we're talking very well,

10:56

for example, here's an iPhone, there's a cellphone

10:57

here, you just saw the advertisement out there

10:59

on YouTube or on Apple, for example.

11:01

Well, Apple immediately made a product

11:03

like the iPhone 18, for example, see. Oh, this is a

11:05

really good product, the camera is

11:07

really good. Well, you want to buy this,

11:08

the price is Rp. 20 million for example. So,

11:10

before you buy, learn to postpone it.

11:13

Pause, wait for 30 days, okay? So

11:16

for these 30 days you postpone it. If

11:18

after this, for example, in March, you

11:20

postpone it, you wait until

11:22

April. In April, you still want to have

11:24

this cellphone, right? You still feel like oh I

11:27

want to buy this iPhone 18 because the

11:29

camera is good. So

11:31

what should I do? Okay, you can buy

11:32

it. But if after 30 days your

11:34

thoughts every day are not about

11:36

this iPhone 18, then it is not worth

11:38

buying. So learn to procrastinate.

11:40

Because most human decisions are

11:41

made when people are

11:43

emotional, when they are

11:46

passionate. I just

11:48

want to take action like that. So

11:50

learn to postpone 30 days. But

11:52

this 30 days row rule, this does not apply to the

11:54

first drug. So if it's

11:55

medicine, you can't wait

11:57

30 days to see if I'm still sick or

11:59

not. And that is what is called

12:01

basic needs. So, for example, if it's food like that,

12:02

well, you can't eat it for 30

12:04

days. And the third is an

12:06

urgent need, yes. For example, your band is going

12:08

downhill or

12:11

something is wrong with your family. Well, you can't

12:12

delay that. You can't use

12:14

this 30 days row. But if it's for fun,

12:17

you can usually postpone it

12:19

for 30 days. The sixth rule is the

12:21

roll discount.

12:26

Well, I often see a lot of

12:27

people who are tempted by

12:29

discounts. Oh, this item is 50% off,

12:32

the promotion will end in 3 days. There's

12:34

this item with a 20% discount, it's almost gone. This is

12:37

only for the first 5 people. Well,

12:39

now I want to ask you guys.

12:40

If there were no discount, would

12:42

it be on your list of items

12:44

to buy? For example, there's an iPad

12:46

over here, I'll sell it to you. This is a

12:48

50% discount, from Rp. 10 million to Rp. 5

12:51

million. Are you going to buy it or not?

12:53

If the answer is yes, even though you initially

12:55

didn't think about buying this iPad,

12:57

then you have fallen into

12:59

this discount trap. So this discount rule

13:01

only applies when, for example, I

13:03

really want to buy this, oh, this iPad,

13:05

I want to buy it, but it just so happens that

13:07

there's a discount. Well, he just bought

13:09

his iPad. So don't create

13:11

demand. Don't suddenly want

13:13

something just because it's on

13:15

sale. So,

13:17

in my opinion, this roll discount is very effective. I used to

13:18

apply this everywhere.

13:21

That's why I don't really believe in

13:22

discounts, unless I

13:24

really need it. So if I

13:25

need it and it happens to be on

13:27

sale, thank God. But if I don't

13:29

need the item at a discount,

13:31

I won't buy it. No matter how

13:33

big the discount is or whatever,

13:35

I won't buy it. If I don't

13:36

need it, I won't buy it. So discounts

13:38

can lower prices, but don't

13:39

let the price reduction create

13:42

demand. The seventh money rule is

13:44

called the temporary income rule. We

13:46

call it the temporary income rule. So,

13:51

for example, you now have a salary of Rp

13:54

million

13:57

, and suddenly you think your work is

13:59

really good, you get a bonus from

14:01

your boss. For example, the bonus is IDR 2 million.

14:04

Well, we call this temporary income

14:06

as temporary income,

14:09

right? This is me, if you

14:10

watch this channel often, I

14:11

will improve your financial literacy

14:13

. So if you have friends

14:16

who can spare a few tens of minutes

14:18

of your life, because for example,

14:20

this video is only 30 minutes or 1 hour, this is only

14:23

at most 5% of your 1 24 hours

14:26

. So, please share it with your other friends

14:28

if you think this video is useful

14:30

. So, for example, your bonus is IDR 20

14:32

million. Well, this is called temporary. So,

14:34

don't let this million Rupiah tie you up and

14:36

suddenly you're paying off a mortgage for a house or a

14:40

car. Well, don't do this. What

14:43

's called a bonus or surprise money, we

14:45

talk about, you should invest this, right?

14:49

So it's a temporary income rule. Don't

14:52

assume that this bonus will

14:54

come soon. It's like surprise money.

14:56

The surprise money won't come if you

14:58

make a decision today just to go into

15:00

debt for the next 5 years. Well, this is

15:02

really not pois. So, for

15:03

example, if you have a bonus of IDR million, don't

15:05

assume you will continue to get IDR million

15:07

every month. Well, that way of

15:09

thinking is fatal. The

15:11

eighth rule, yes. learn to differentiate between

15:13

fixed and variable. Well, this is

15:16

very important. So, what does that mean?

15:18

What is the thing called fixed cost?

15:20

Food is a fixed cost. So it can be

15:22

divided into two, right? Fixed cost is

15:24

food, right? You need to drink

15:27

, for example electricity. Well, that's fixed,

15:30

namely a place to live, food and clothing. Well, this is a

15:32

fixed cost, right? You have to calculate

15:34

how much your fixed costs are. So learn to

15:36

box, yes, this is the income and these are

15:38

fixed expenses or

15:40

variable expenses. the variables. What are some examples

15:41

? For example, this month a friend of mine is having a

15:43

birthday. This means that if it's

15:45

my friend's birthday, I'll

15:46

spend money and give him a gift like that.

15:49

Well, that's a very wrong way of thinking

15:50

. This is not a fixed cost, it is a variable.

15:52

Well, reduce it. For example, if your friend is

15:54

having a birthday or something, but your money

15:56

is too tight, you don't need to

15:58

buy him a gift or whatever. You

16:00

save first. You should fix

16:02

your finances first, then after

16:04

your finances are okay, after everything is okay, then you can

16:06

give a gift to your friend. Therefore, the

16:08

input cost variable is the

16:10

input, namely the variable expenditure

16:12

which is very varied. When

16:14

your income is very fluctuating,

16:17

you keep hunting for something that you

16:19

don't know

16:21

how much your expenses will be. This is getting to be a

16:23

financial mess. The ninth rule is loan to

16:25

gift.

16:27

So, there are a lot of

16:29

my friends out there who like to borrow money.

16:31

So, soul, can I borrow money

16:33

for this, right? Sou gua can also

16:34

borrow R10 million and so on. Well, I'm

16:36

sure that those of you who have at least

16:38

a little money and your friends know that

16:41

you like to borrow money from you. So,

16:42

the answer is, is it okay to lend it to someone?

16:44

Yes. But when you lend something to

16:46

someone, consider it a gift. So

16:48

don't think of it as a loan. For example, a

16:51

friend of mine wants to borrow

16:52

R10 million from me, but I can't

16:54

afford it. So, consider the money you lent

16:56

to your friend as lost. So,

16:58

for example, my friend wants to borrow R10 million,

17:00

all I can afford to lose is maybe R2

17:03

million. So what I lent to

17:05

my friend was not R million. Even though he

17:07

needed R10 million, I

17:09

lent him R million. So it's like I'm just giving

17:11

him a gift. I don't

17:13

expect this R million to come back to me like that

17:15

. Yes, that's good, that's a good friend,

17:18

right? If you don't come back, that's

17:20

okay. This is just my

17:22

personal money. So let's learn to make loans to gifts

17:24

. So, for example, when you

17:26

have money, you have to think about

17:27

how much you are prepared to lose. Don't think that

17:29

your friend can return your money.

17:31

Because if he could return your money,

17:32

he wouldn't borrow it. In the first place,

17:34

his finances were already good.

17:35

If he can't borrow it from you,

17:37

then give it to him. When you want someone to

17:40

lend you money, think of it as

17:42

looking for it for them. think of it as money

17:43

for them only.
