I personally think that money can do very little. And this has been my experience all across.

I've got an overly developed sense of what selling out is, and I of course worry about it too much.

I am scared of running out of money.

I give out similar advice all the time: Take a month to write down where your money is going. By the end, you'll have a road map that tells you where you can cut back.

I've got nothing against selling out, but just let me do it for something that matters. Not so I can be Number One With a Bullet, as it were, but so I can leave this world feeling like I made a difference.

I didn't end up going bankrupt... I made some great investments and I held on to my money, which also enables me to have the freedom to do what I want now. But it's not about finances. No matter what, it's about keeping it real.

I sign off not only every investment, but every dollar that goes out the door - I'm aware of it.

Selling out is doing something you don't really want to do for money. That's what selling out is.

Money and success haven't really changed my beliefs or opinions over the years. When I was growing up, my mum and dad split when I was 13 or 14, during the early-Nineties recession. At that time, my dad went bankrupt, and it played a huge part in it all at home.

But I've always been accused of being a bit tight with money, so it hasn't particularly changed my lifestyle.
