🧠 Don’t Just Buy Stuff—Buy STOCKS

Flip the Script from Consumer to Wealth-Builder.

Every time a new iPhone drops, people line up to spend $1,000 without blinking. But here’s a better move: buy shares of Apple instead.

Every time you binge YouTube for hours, remember — you're making money for Google (Alphabet), not yourself. What if you owned part of the platform you scroll all day?

This is the mindset shift: Stop just buying stuff. Start buying ownership.

Here’s how to flip the script and get started:

💡 1. Instead of buying the new iPhone…

👉 Buy shares of Apple (AAPL). If you have $100 to spend on accessories, redirect that to ownership. Use apps like Public, Robinhood, Fidelity, or Cash App to buy fractional shares.

💡 2. Instead of binge-watching YouTube...

👉 Buy shares of Alphabet (GOOGL). Google owns YouTube. Every ad you see = money for them. Own your slice.

💡 3. Instead of shopping on Amazon...

👉 Buy shares of Amazon (AMZN). You already fund them with your spending. Now let their growth pay you.

💡 4. Instead of rocking the latest Nike drops...

👉 Buy shares of Nike (NKE). Buy the stock, then buy the kicks with your dividends later. Boss move.

💡 5. Instead of Ubering everywhere...

👉 Buy shares of Uber (UBER). You use the service. Own the business. Every ride helps your portfolio.

🔁 It’s About Ownership, Not Just Access

The world wants us stuck in a cycle of consuming. Break it.

🛑 Stop being just a customer.✅ Start being a stakeholder.

Even if it’s just $10 to start — the habit is more important than the amount. You’re learning how to think like an owner.
