Lifestyle Arbitrage

Lifestyle arbitrage involves adjusting one's living conditions to enhance economic security. Scott Galloway shares his personal experience of commuting to New York and investing the savings from lifestyle and tax adjustments into rental properties and stocks. He emphasizes the importance of discipline in using these savings for investments rather than consumption.

What you don't want to do is do a lifestyle arbitrage and take that money and use it for additional consumption. That's where it takes real discipline.
