I’m finally settled in to my new place in Coral Gables, which is a suburb of Miami.
Check it out…
The food, the culture, and just about everything else in Coral Gables ROCKS! For Shilpi and I it’s been a total upgrade from the condo we had in Boston.
As soon as we get back to Boston in 6 months we’re going to start hunting for a condo in Back Bay that will top our place in Coral Gables. Once you upgrade your lifestyle, it really bites to have to take it back down a notch.
None of this would have been possible if I wasn’t a super affiliate. The rent on our Coral Gables place is double the mortgage payment on my place in Boston, which by the way I’m still paying in full.
Even if I was a big shot in the corporate world and had the money to cover a hefty rent plus a mortgage, I wouldn’t have the freedom to move down here.
Affiliate income represent REAL FREEDOM. There’s nothing like it in the world! 
Hey Amit,
The condo looks great, I don’t see why you would get anything bigger or fancier if it’s just you and your wife. You got all the room you need. I totally dig the idea of living below your means while you’re still building a business, I’ve already learned my lesson the hard way.
Just wanted you to know that I read your special report about the 2% of affiliates raking in all the money. It definitely caught my attention. Until now I had been sort of trying to get in on this action. Well I read your report and I also went out and bought the book you mentioned in the report and I’m loving it. I have to say it points out so many things that I know I’m doing wrong it almost feels like a scolding. I got a lot of work to do. It’s a great book!
Thanks for the report and the recommendation, looking forward to part II.
Looks like a nice place .. Enjoy the Florida weather… Congrats
Hey Amit,
congratulations on your move. I think you will find the change in location will do wonders for your creativity. I live in the midwest and managed to escape to Aventura (between Miami and Ft Lauderdale) for 6 months during the winter a few years ago. It was great!
Thanks for all the valuable info you share.
Amit,
Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for the toleration.
And most of all, thanks for the motivation.

Amit,
Congrats man. The condo looks nice. I go to Merrick Park every now and then. I live about 15-20 minutes north of you.
I am totally in agreement with your logic about money. I own my own real estate firm and made about 15-20K per month (when it was good for about 1 year) and paid everything off except my mortgage but beat that up too.
I drive an old vehicle (very embarrassing at times) while many of my friends are driving new Mercedes. I can’t tell you how happy I am with no payments and how miserable they are because they are working for the man to pay for that car. I can go as I please anytime anywhere for the most part because my overhead is very low.
I love freedom more than materialistic things. Yes I want them and will get them but first I am securing freedom!
So keep rocking!
Hi Amit,
Thanks for your explanation on why you still have a mortgage. So, are you basically putting all your earnings back into the business? And yes, living well below your means is a good thing!
It’s kind of crummy Amit. I’m all for living with in your means. But if that’s the best you can do…I’m not sure what else to say?
I have three favorite parts of the video.
1) The 15 times he finds the need to let us know he is on the 7th floor. “Here I am again, still on the 7th floor.” Funny and shallow all at the same time.
2) His Nordstrom comment. I’ve seen him at events, and the guys attire is similar to things you would find at Marshall’s. I guess money doesn’t equate to style.
3) I love the comment about Equinox being one of the best gyms. Who cares? Because you go to a good gym you will somehow get in “better” shape? HaHa.
You are one funny dude Amit.
If I made $100,000 dollars a month in pure profit (is that how much you make amit?) I would not have a mortgage. I would have paid off my condo and would be able to sleep nicely at night, knowing that even if my business went down, I’d always have a roof over my head.
I don’t believe in wasting money on silly luxury items, but until you have $5 million dollars in cash, put away in the bank, you are better off paying off the mortage, just in case your business goes bust.
