01
We don't drink alcohol
But for the rare moment that calls for raising a glass to — or with — someone special, one excellent bottle of original agave tequila of the highest quality always waits in the pantry.
The Manifesto
The rules we actually live by — the operating philosophy behind every Rich Hot Life system.
The operating philosophy
I love results — but only if it's not too much work: doing the necessary things as efficiently as possible, with as much automation as possible.
I systemize and automate because I don't trust myself — my motivation, or my feelings.
02
We don't eat scavenger animals
No pork, no seafood. We eat what the old scriptures call clean — nothing built to clear the water or the ground.
03
Walking is our sport
Of every way to move, walking in nature is the one we'd never trade.
04
The body heals itself
With fasting, sun and nature it repairs what it can — and we call for outside help only when it's truly needed.
05
Let nature touch you
Ground yourself in it — skin to earth, feet in the grass, a hand on a tree.
06
Fasting is the baseline
The body asks for far less than modern life insists. Fasting is our default state, not a special event — we eat in windows and let the body rest in between.
07
A thousand years, or nothing
We only trust systems that have proven themselves for at least a millennium.
08
Maximal minimalism
If we buy, we buy quality — and only when it brings freedom, value or good memories.
09
Asymmetry decides
Unlimited upside with limited downside — we're in. Unlimited downside — we're out.
10
We love nature, because it's efficient
It wastes nothing. And above all else, we love efficiency.
11
Old systems, modern tools
Traditional methods, combined with the few modern tools that genuinely earn their place.
12
We live by the old books
Systems older than us — fasting, and eating according to historic scriptures.
On money · The Rich Joe principles
And then there's the money
The same discipline, pointed at wealth. Rich and Hot are one life.
13
No debts, no masters
We never take on debt and we never pay interest. To get free, sell what owns you — the car, the house, even the ego.
14
Only gold is real money
Money sitting in a bank account isn't really yours anymore. We stack a little real money — gold — every month, automatically.
15
Money needs a job
The money you earn is Mama Money, and her job is to make Baby Money. Never spend Mama — give her time to grow, and live on Baby Money.
16
Structure is freedom
Three or more accounts, every flow automated: income in, expenses out, investing and giving — no decision needed each time.
17
Set it and forget it
Automate and systemize everything. We invest by a clear plan with a current watchlist — and when the markets fall, we buy.
18
Only play games you can win
We enter only where the odds and the rules favour us, and we walk away from the rest.
19
Buy back your time
Every amount invested buys free hours, days and years. Dividends are freedom-money — that's what wealth is actually for.
20
Invest in yourself
You can't build a million-dollar dream on minimum-wage habits. When the vision is clear, the results appear.
