This is an awesome interview with Mark Cuban! I "FIRE'd" earlier this year for the same reasons as Mark. I now enjoy doing whatever I want pretty much whenever I want to and it's extremely liberating.
Every day, life seems to come with more troubles and bills. Having a passive income stream is the best way to stay sane despite the economic situations and the pandemic that changed the world. A lot of people have made life easy through there Investments and seizing lucrative opportunities the find on YouTube. Today I am happy and proud to have found a way to earn and live passively through the aid of my Investment Adviser, John Augustus Godfrey Jr, I have so far accumulated a totally of $3m worth portfolio
Working on my next level of fire. I've retired once and receive that pension. The next income source is allowing me to accelerate my mortgage payoff and investments.
A really good video, I appreciate you taking your time to make these. It's important to make a good investment that will guarantee you a future with financial comfort.
With the right financial plan, early retirement is possible. Most investors hope for the best from their investments, but base their financial goals on unrealistic assumptions.

Mark Cuban is a tool of China.
Some people just want to escape the rat race trap
A true FIRE movement must include playing the lottery because winning one of those will immediately change your class status over night! That's true FIRE! People want huge jackpot hits and they want to retire within 24 hours not 7-10 years down the line!
When you listen to Cuban, his mindset and perspective, you can easily see why/how he's so successful.
I admire the effort you put in your videos mate, digital currency continues to reshape the world globally, it's hard to see anyone going against them these days, though from a traders perspective of I feel we really need more expects in the field updating newbies on how the community works, crypto currencies are gradually moving towards something big and the price surge over the past few months, I feel there are more to this market than we know, ask for a proper guidance before investing in this pretty much complicated market, I've made over 4btc from an allocation of 1.6btc over the last 2 weeks using George's help. Things might get worse so just make the smarter move.
Lost a lot of respect for Mark Cuban when he wouldn't voice support for Hong Kong for fear of upsetting Communist China leaders and impact their NBA/Nike business. China really calls the shots for so many businesses and politicians now. https://www.amnesty.org/en/countries/asia-and-the-pacific/china/report-china/
Natural born clock puncher here. Hate it, yet it's difficult to imagine living with uncertainty about income – that clock seems so dependable, such security. Just knowing I have this job, knowing I'm good at it, knowing that I'm needed here, gives me the security my blood was designed for. Yet..it's miserable too, for all the common reasons. How do you achieve financial independence to the point it feels just as reliable as that clock has been to me?
damn, Cuban is looking rough. dude needs to get some rest !
He looks older and weaker as a vegan. Shocked
So awesome to see someone like Mark Cuban endorsing living way below your means!!
Cuban right, life’s short! Time is the greatest detriment to Man!
If you are starting late in investing and saving, it is NOT to late. Just remeber that if you save and evest now, it all helps you live easier in the future. you may not Retire Early, but your assests will allow you to work less and less.
What a gem – Marc’s message is so inspiring ! Thanks for sharing!
The greatest invention ever made is compounding interest. I have invested 25,000 dollars every year for 20 years and now am over a million.
I'm 64, retired at 45 before the internet was popular. I had no idea what I was doing. I was between jobs, had some money saved and decided to take a little time off between jobs to work on my own software app. Turned out my money started to last way longer than I imagined. I hadn't realized how expensive it was to have a salary type job. And I loved the freedom. I'd always loved my jobs but this just added a dimension. I just kept going, how long would the money last? It just kept going. I did make a little money along the way, mainly by selling a house in San Jose which ended a mortgage and moved to Phoenix buying a house outright. And I've sold/bought a couple houses in Phoenix because remodeling is a hobby of mine. Today I spend about $600/mo including property taxes, car insurance, food. When I had a salary position I spent a lot of money on entertainment like eating out, buying crap I didn't really need. I wouldn't say I'm happier spending less now, but I'm not less happy either. More content I would say, more secure. Yes, more secure feeling. When I had a salary I had a mortgage and spent a lot. What would happen if I couldn't work any more? That's a stressful feeling, insecure. It's worth doing imo.
To me it’s got nothing to do with retirement… I just want to do my own thing without having to worry financially… it’s “F You” money.
Retirement means I can get up do what I want travel, fish, have fun
