Black Friday: Will You Buy More “Stuff” Or Build an Asset?

Hello, amazing WA family

Black Friday is almost here, and I'm sure you've seen all the posts and amazing adverts that are being created around this subject, which is building to a fever pitch - and quite rightly!

I just wanted to point out an angle which you could use to help with your Black Friday promotions, which is often easily missed in all the myriad of features and benefits we otherwise promote.

And that is the fact that what we have the chance to build here at WA is a REAL ASSET - we are not just acquiring MORE STUFF!

While most of the world is gearing up to buy more gadgets, more clothes and more things they won’t remember owning by January, I keep thinking about a lesson that changed everything for me, and it stems from a book I read years ago, but which has stuck with me. Here's the gist...

“The rich invest in assets. The poor spend on liabilities.”
Rich Dad Poor Dad

It’s one of the simplest teachings in Robert Kiyosaki’s inspirational book, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", yet it’s the one most people overlook. We’re conditioned to spend money on things that feel good in the moment… but these often do absolutely nothing for our future, and when we've broken them or got bored with them, we're back on the hamster wheel, looking for the next shiny new thing to fill the void.

What makes Wealthy Affiliate’s Black Friday deal stand out every single year is that it is the opposite of typical Black Friday spending.

Instead of buying more stuff, you’re investing in something that can create real value, income and opportunity for years to come.

And I honestly don't know how Kyle and Carson have managed to cram in so much value into this year's deal.

For £379 / $497, you get a full year of Premium Plus, which includes:

  • All the training you could want to start an online business
  • Easy step-by-step method
  • Powerful AI tools
  • 60,000 monthly AI credits
  • 100,000 bonus credits
  • Jaaxy AI
  • Image Studio
  • Premium hosting
  • Weekly live classes
  • Step-by-step training
  • and, of course, the magnificent WA community - that's YOU!!

And when you break it down, that comes to about £1.03 / $1.37 per day.

Split graphic showing a steaming cup of coffee on the left with the text “Daily Coffee – $4.00 per day,” and a smiling woman working on a laptop with the Wealthy Affiliate logo on the right, with the text “Invest in your future – $1.36 per day.” The top banner reads “Wealthy Affiliate Black Friday Offer,” highlighting the low daily cost of joining WA compared to buying coffee.

Most people will spend more than that on a meal deal, a coffee or a quick scroll through Amazon this Friday. But none of those things build assets. None of them builds skills. None of them takes you closer to your goals of financial independence.

Rich Dad’s message was simple:

Buy things that put money back into your pocket, not things that drain it.

That’s why WA has always aligned with this mindset. It gives you the tools to build something real — websites, content, knowledge, digital assets and long-term online income streams.

This coming weekend, YOU get the chance to make a different kind of Black Friday choice.

  • Not consumption… but creation
  • Not clutter… but growth
  • Not “stuff”… but skills.

If you're ready to invest in your future instead of your cupboards, there’s no better time to take that step.

Let me know in the comments below, what you're planning on spending your money on this year - but choose wisely my friends.

Wishing everyone an empowered and intentional Black Friday weekend ahead.

All the best.

Gail
