If you're willing to spend $500 on Amazon to buy products, maybe you should consider buying some Amazon stock. If you like Tesla or you own a Tesla, well, how dare you not own a little bit of Tesla stock? If you have an iPhone that you paid $1,500 for and you didn't spend $1,500 buying Apple stock, you should reconsider what's going on in your world. Here's why.
Let me hurt your brain for a second. Ready for this? there is 15 iPhones, right? Those iPhones range from $800 to $1,300 on average, and the last couple were like a little bit more. Let's call it $1,500. So let's just take the average of let's call it $1,200 times 15. That's around $20,000. So over the 15 iPhones, if each time when the iPhone 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. came out, $800, $900, $1,000, etc.,

So over the 15 iPhones, if each time when the iPhone 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. came out, $800, $900, $1,000, etc.,
the same day that you bought that iPhone, the same day you bought Apple stock. $800 phone comes out, you buy $800 stock. $1100 phone comes out, you buy $1100 stock. If you would have done that, does anybody know, before I hurt your brain, how much those 15 iPhones and your 15 stock purchases of less than $20,000 would be worth right now? That's right, over $1 million.
the same day that you bought that iPhone, the same day you bought Apple stock. $800 phone comes out, you buy $800 stock. $1100 phone comes out, you buy $1100 stock. If you would have done that, does anybody know, before I hurt your brain, how much those 15 iPhones and your 15 stock purchases of less than $20,000 would be worth right now? That's right, over $1 million.
I'm just letting it set in for a second. If you just bought $20,000 worth of iPhones, like you probably did, and you bought $20,000 of stock, like I wish you did, and you just didn't do anything else, you would have over $1 million of liquid Apple stock right now that you could sell at any time, and then it'll go right into your Wells Fargo or Bank of America Chase account like that.

Let me break your brain again. I'm not even going to tell you the number because it's so big it'll hurt your brain. Ahem. Do you have Netflix? I know the answer, the answer is yes. Okay, over the course of time, Netflix has been between, let's call it 12 to 18 bucks a month. And it's been around for a lot of years. Imagine if you bought 12 to 18 dollars a month of Netflix stock.

$12.
$12.
$18. So while you're out there on Netflix and chilling, spend $15 and buy some freaking Netflix stock. If you'd have done that since the beginning of the company, I don't even know the math. It would take me too long and the number would be too big because it's one of the best performing stocks of human history. And we all watched it unfold in front of us.

Everyone, we're all at fault, myself included, of not buying enough Netflix stock. When we knew, without a shadow of a doubt, they'd go from 100 million users to 200 million, 200 million users to 300 million, 300 million to 400 million. It's just math and time compounding.

And when stocks go up or down based on emotion or media or timing or economy, blah, blah, blah, all that's irrelevant over the long term. The long term being Netflix will go from being worth billions of dollars to tens of billions to hundreds of billions to a trillion. Amazon will go from one trillion to two trillion to three trillion to four.

Apple will go from one trillion to two trillion to three trillion to four. These are inevitable things of household name companies. So if you buy from Amazon every single week, you should be buying some Amazon stock. If you have a Tesla, you should consider some Tesla stock. This is not financial advice, blah, blah, blah. It is something for you to think about and consider for yourself.

If you like a product, you like a business that much to spend your hard-earned money on it, why not buy a little piece of that business that you can afford? And by the way, if you can only afford $100 of stock, that's fine.
