[@ProfessionalRageBaiter]

I just graph everything and at the first you don’t see any progress but if you keep on going you’ll see in a couple weeks you’ve gone up or down and that’s where I get my satisfaction as I can see i’m in a much better position more than I was 2 years ago and the many obstacles over the way to where I am now.

My experience with the five: 1. Saving is very easy for me. I'm an Asian American guy, living amongst Germans. Saving is priority for pretty much everyone and everything around me. 2. I have to admit, I don't like spending money. I'm very judicious about when I buy things. I'd say I'm still trying to convince myself that it is not a bad thing to spend a little money from time to time. 3. I minored in business, and this was covered in a couple of my classes. Plus, bookkeeping just comes very naturally to me. 4. This is also pretty easy for me. I like creating Sankey Diagrams for these types of things. 5. I understand the theory, what remains is to make it a reality. Grad students aren't known for their high wages. But hopefully this will pick up by the time I graduate and I get a big boy job. :) Cheers, and have a wonderful rest of your day!

One thing that helped me not over spend was to have a drop fund. (Yes Retirement and Emergency savings come first) but every time I got paid I had another bank that puts $30 into that account that I can spend on anything I want worry free. But if I can’t afford it from that account then I don’t buy it

*I didn't become financially independent until I was in my late 40's, and I'm still in my 40's. In addition to having purchased my second home and earning money on a monthly basis through passive income, I've also achieved three out of five goals. I just hope this inspires someone to realize that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet, you can start today no matter your age. Change your future by investing! I made a rather big decision by investing in the financial market.*

Everything costs more money when you consider how much it sets you back because of not having put it in an index fund. I paid $27 for a rice cooker recently. If I had put that in an index fund and waited 40 years, it would've been worth $1450. So that rice cooker really cost me $1450. I sure it hope it lasts.

[@XxChuyoxX]

This is a ridiculous way of looking at things.

[@dantu5377]

For real, would you go 40 years without coming and eating rice?😊

[@AR-ln7ln]

You can let one rice cooker go, but I'm sure there were many-many rice cookers that could have gone into ETF instead. I pissed a lot of money away and gave to "friends". Had I know that index funds exist back in a day, I would have at least given them a chance. I know now, but I'm hopelessly behind. I'm doing individual stocks to catch up and then ETFs as I retire. Knowing that $27 becomes $1450 is more powerful than going without a cooker. Use a pot. Also, you had a chance to get out at year 20 or 30 and jump on a faster horse. No horses with rice cooker.

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

Personally I use to think that teaching kids how to manage money in school is a good thing but then I realised that it wouldn’t really make a difference. First how sure are you that high school kids will take this seriously,I mean most adults forget most of the things they were taught in school. Secondly these kids after leaving school and are going into a highly consumer society,companies will use every trick to manipulate them into spending money on things they don’t need. Third you can’t realistically expect a young person to care about money management,they are young they are enjoying their lives by spending cash to buy products to impress and to boost their self esteem.

[@CaedenV]

It really is funny how numbers change the psychology of the situation! My wife and I started on our financial goals 15 years ago, and the rough math was saying we needed around $1.5-2.5M to retire. But the 10 years leading up to that only saw us losing net worth, not gaining anything! Forget about millions of dollars of fantasy money, just stopping the bleeding was an impossible task! But 8 years later we got back up to net $0 again. 5 years later we were debt free except the house and $50k positive! Another 3 years and we will have hit $100k in a few months (provided stocks don't tank this fall). But it is kinda funny from an objective point of view. I mean, $2M is the goal, and it has taken us 15 years to hit 5% of the goal. If money was linear, then this would mean that we would hit 20% of the goal by retirement and be absolutely doomed to a life of poverty. But instead, that first $100k feels pretty great! Money isn't linier, and it hasn't been 15 years to get to $100k. It has been 15 years to break bad habits, build new habits, educate myself on finances and investing, retrain for a better paying career path, and dig ourselves out of a hole... And then save $100k on top of all of that! It may be a mere 5% of the goal, but it has very likely been 75% of the hard work done! Even if we just maintain course we will hit our goal without too much issue in the next 25 years. But our incomes will likely increase, and we will continue to learn, and compounding will work in our favor, so I'm actually expecting to hit goal 5 years early. Then we can enjoy a nice leasurely partial retirement I the years leading up to real retirement. Lots of effort, especially to just get moving in the right direction. But that first $100k makes you feel like you have hit a real milestone!

I really enjoy your videos and personal finance KZbinrs in general, however there is one thing that has always bothered me and I’m hoping someone can shed some light. Everyone always talks about the importance of saving for retirement/investing early so you can take advantage of the power of compounding interest. However, retirement accounts whether that’s a 401K or IRA are investment based NOT savings based. Stocks don’t payout interest. They simply change in value over time. Unless you simply stick cash in a HYSA (which no one would recommend for retirement), compounding interest does not apply. Am I missing something here?

If you are in cross roads or need sincere advise on the best moves to take now its best you seek an independent advisor who knows about the financial markets.

[@keltutor9995]

Thank you!

[@CaedenV]

That last point is the best. The person who starts out well, even if life derails them, can still end up way ahead. The Money Guy show has their wealth multiplier by age, showing that, on average (and they use relatively conservative averages), every dollar invested at age 20 turns into $88 by retirement. By age 40 it has already dropped off to $7.5 for every dollar invested. But the point is that it doesn't stop! It still trends down to $0 by retirement, and still worth putting away more at a 7.5x increase at 40, rather than trying to save all your money for a 1x flat increase at 60. But this is still a misnomer. Sure, the multiplier by age 65 has dropped to 7.5x what I contribute... But if I have $2M saved for retirement at age 65 (which is the lower goal), I'm not likely to pull the whole thing out right then and there into assets that merely track inflation. No! I'm going to take out a years worth of living expenses in cash equivilant to live on, 3-5 years worth of expenses in something safe and inflation tracking, and keep the rest invested so it can keep growing. Some of what I put in now at age 40 may still have another 40-50 years to compound instead of just 25 years. I may not get the full 88x of a 20 year old, but it is likely to be a lot more than 7.5x by the time I use it. It is still extremely expensive to spend instead of save at this stage in life. Because of all of this, my plan is to offer my kids a deal. After they graduate high school, if they work full time (40+ hours a week) instead of going to college, and live on 10% of their income while saving the rest, then we will not only not charge them for rent or food, but will also match what they pay in taxes towards contributing to something they want or need (car, retirement, college savings, etc). The idea being that even if they are only making some $30k/yr, if they are saving $27k/yr that first few years, then that $135k, if left alone, would grow to $11M by retirement. They won't need to save another penny the rest of their lives, and they would still be set up to be massively successful well beyond what a college degree could provide over that 5 year period. I would also hope that they choose to pursue college and a career as well... But doing it because they want to do something they love instead of doing it because they have to... That would be a very different experience than my adult life has been lol.

[@royalgilpin4922]

Saving is definitely a good idea. That being said, our money is being consistently devalued. Year over year we're losing almost 10%. Don't save too much, it'll go right down the drain. EDIT: I lied it's actually closer to 15% now.

[@CaedenV]

I don't think any finance person on the planet would consider cash to be "savings". Or rather, only a portion of what they consider to be savings. You do need an emergency fund of 3-6 months of minimum expenses which should be in liquid cash or cash equivilants, and maybe a little more if you are saving up for a major purchase like a car or house. But outside of that, when finance people talk about savings, they expect it to at least be invested in CDs or bonds or something. And if it isn't going to be touched for a long time (5+ years), then they generally mean stocks. Yes, keep cash savings to a reasonable minimum, but you are new to finance if you think he is referring to purely cash savings. But the bigger head turn is saying that cash is losing 10-15% in value every year... That is a pretty insane belief man. I mean sure, over the last year Tesla and nvidia stock has ripped up to crazy highs, so the usd has technically lost some 50%+ in value compared to the stock... But that just isn't how you measure cash value. If you really want to measure the devaluation of the dollar, then you measure against other currencies. And there have been some crazy currency valuations over the last 3-4 years, so I am sure there is some metric out there showing the dollar to be losing 15% of value compared to some basket of currency or another. But that metric is going to be so volitile that it becomes useless to use as an individual, because you wait 6mo to a year and all the sudden it will be up 20% instead of down 20%. The best approximation for the loss of dollar value generally is inflation. And actual real-time inflation is somewhere around 2-2.5%, which is far lower than even the government figures of 3%. But more importantly, the loss of value is greatly dependant on what you are purchasing with that cash. If you already have a house and car, and your purchases are more real time, then you are likely seeing deflation right now in your personal budget instead of inflation. In other words, holding literal cash right now holds more value than buying most items because they are getting cheaper at the moment. A lot of our food budget is eggs, and oh man... The relief right now is pretty great, because that was rediculous for a whole there! I'm also in the market to replace a few hard drives soon, and am happy to see that the drives I buy are less than half the price they were a year ago! Holding cash to delay the purchase of many items is saving money right now as many sectors are deflating instead of inflating. But financing is also a part of your personal inflation. If you refinanced a house a little over a year ago, then you were pegging a large portion of your personal inflation at 2.5-3% in the interest you are paying. If you bought something on a credit card with a 20% apr, then you are effectively saying that you are accepting a 20% rate of inflation on the portion you carry as your balance. And what drove a lot of our inflation the last couple years were cash out home refinances. If it costs 3% to expand your mortgage, but goods are expected to inflate at 8%, then it is reasonable to take the 3% hit and buy things before they get 8%+ more expensive... And when millions of people do that at the same time, combined with supply chain shortages, then yeah... The high inflation we saw was high, but pretty reasonable. But the money was spent and is being paid down, and new loans cost a lot more, and supply chains are recovering, so inflation is also calming down. I dunno man... The idea that your cash today is losing 15%, especially anywhere in the US and Europe, or even Cina and India... You are reading some really messed up statistics. Time to get some news sources that are a bit more down to earth and less doom and gloom.

@@Martin-Combs123 I don't want to give too much away, but yes, I have been consulting with an advisor and through his guidance, I have been able to make a portfolio that is about 30K$ per month, it's very simple and not as complicated as it used to be!

Its worse here, our economy is like a flailing fish, fighting for its life. The normal state of the U.S. economy is actually very bad. Because of this it goes into convulsive spasms fighting to grow any way it can out of desperation. Tricks, gimmicks, rule changes try to stimulate the economy and prevent it from falling but they only bring temporary relief to people since, when you factor in inflation we are declining.

People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.

[@shirelylinero]

Inflation is gradually going to become part of us and due to that fact any money you keep in cash or in a low-interest account declines in value each year. Investing is the only way to make your money grow and unless you have an exceptionally high income, investing is the only way most people will ever have enough money to retire.

I've tried investing in the stock market several times but always got discouraged by fluctuations of stock value. I would be happy if you could advise me based on how you went about yours, as I am ready to go the passive income path.!!

My CFA ’ANGELA LYNN SCHILLING’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

[@doran-f6w]

Thank you for saving me hours of back and forth investigation into the markets. I simply copied and pasted her full name into my browser, and her website came up first in search results. She looks flawless.

50 Cent had a boxing promotion. That contributed heavily to the losses

Don't forget GOVERNMENTS don't know how to budget either.

[@Ghettochild.2600]

I’ve never spent money to impress someone else. That just sounds dumb to me. If I spend money it’s because I wanted something that I can enjoy.

Sometimes a 100.00 sweater lasts longer than a 10.00 sweater too. Always think about the longterm with your purchases!

This is inaccurate. 50 cents bankruptcy was intentional.
