Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

Thanks Ramit. After reading your book, I'm now debt free, created and auto invest into my retirement account, and automatically save using an HYSA. I closed my savings account with Chase and I'm never going back to my old ways of transferring from my savings to make a non-essential purchase. Having a money management system has truly made this all a no brainer. You're the man!

Love the bit about $3-5 coffee. Something I think worth adding for folks to consider - If you don’t spend the $155 a month at the coffee shop, how much is it costing you at home? If it’s $55, then the extra cost is really only $100 to you. You then have to ask you whether your time, convenience, and happiness is worth $100 for that coffee. - I did this exercise with purchasing lunches at work (hybrid 3x a week), and found spending $132 for a whole month of lunch was incredibly cheap considering I do not need to do any planning, prepping, or transporting food for lunch. I also don’t feel pressure to eat the food I’ve prepped when the end of the week comes and the food isn’t as fresh. - Food for thought.

I do spend on things i want as well, i just don't OVER spend , or if i don't have the money liquid for it i just don't get it. All about balance,

People generally fall into an economic class because of their psychology and their values. Each of the three classes has a characteristic psychological profile. For the lower class, it’s apathy. They have nothing, they’re ground down and they don’t really care. They’re not in the game, and they aren’t going to do anything; they’re resigned to their fate. For the upper class, it’s greed and arrogance. They have everything, and they think they deserve it - whether they do or not. The middle class - at least in today’s world - is run by fear. Fear that they’re only a paycheck away from falling into the lower class. Fear that they can’t pay their debts or borrow more. Fear that they don’t have a realistic prospect of improving themselves.” - Doug Casey

Thank you for this valuable video. I would like to highlight a component you touched on but didn't explicitly label: personal financial KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). You mention these when discussing the questions listeners should ask themselves. For instance, define your KPI for the percentage (or dollar amount) you aim to contribute to your emergency fund each year. Once you've defined your KPIs, you can set up automated systems and develop SOPs to ensure you're meeting these goals or know what actions to take if you fall short. Having SOPs or systems without clear financial KPIs leads to a lack of direction and hinders continuous improvement.

As a state employee, I have two other accounts that I am eligible to contribute to: a second, voluntary 403b and a state-sponsored DCP 457b, both of which can be pre-tax or Roth. Is it better to put as much as I can to the second 403b or divide it between the two? Should one be pre-tax and the other Roth? TIA for any advice!

i know fitness and nutrition. like all of those questions you had the start the video, if you changed them to fitness and nutrition questions i could answer them without thinking. Applying that to finance is such an obvious game changer but what was mind blowing is realizing that we need finance systems for our budgeting investing etc. There are strategies/theories in the psychology of fitness and nutrition that can apply here. basically we are creatures of habit and laziness and if things are made easier for us, we will choose those. so put the healthy snacks within reach. hide the unhealthy snacks so it is a chore to get. automate your shopping list - have a shopping list app that tells you when you need to go out for avocado and kiwis. you can't adhoc your nutrition and fitness any more than you can adhoc your finances and investments. It's SO OBVIOUS why didn't i think of that. Amazing video

Sure, I don't like seeing my portfolios going down, but I know damn well that they're eventually going to go back up, and when they shoot up, that's also a pretty nice hit of dopamine.

Saw "hope" used twice... maybe start with an achievable goal of growing that $350k by 10-20%, which would be a great result for 1 year, before talking about 10x-ing in the same period.

Hey, thanks for the advice all throughout your channel. My expenses are way too high and not within 50-60% of my take home income. A year ago, I created a vanguard account. I could only afford $20 a fortnight. As soon as I started trimming down my expenses. Im now on $100 & I've set up automation. I have nearly $1500 now and I'm investing in 2 ETF's. Those are (VAS & VGS) as I'm Australian. Im 34 now, I'm hoping to eventually increase my investing to $500 a month to become a millionaire by the time I'm close to retire. There's a lot of BS out there when it comes to financial advice. Your advice is easy to understand, easy to implement & has helped me get started on setting up generational wealth for my family.

I started with a very small amount, just to get started. I automated those deposits so I didn't think about it. Then gradually increased it when I could afford it. That's my advice to anybody.

Do you believe I should stick to those two ETF's or should I expand into other ETF's or stocks or whatever?

When it comes to "don't get bogged down over the $3 decisions", I agree.....mostly. It's not the one time someone buys a $5 coffee that makes them poor. It's the 500 $5 decisions within a month that make them poor. I used to religiously watch Dave Ramsey. And while I don't 100% agree with him, I did develop the "red flag" sense he has when it comes to spending on things. When I see a Starbucks $8 coffee, a little voice in my head says "are you sure you want to spend that much?". I believe that little voice is instrumental in the amount of money I've saved and invested. You may make a good decisions here or there, but a solid behavior behind you will lead to consistent good decisions.
