- Importance of investing in yourself and your career vs. driving a newer car
- Importance of taking notes on all of your struggles and successes because they could eventually turn into a book like it did for Vincent

- Financial freedom allows you flexibility to make money in different places
- How Vincent and his family of five live off $3,000 a month
