Right, a lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions, no offense. I remember years back, amid covid-19 outbreak, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, thus researched for licensed advisors, and thankfully came across someone of excellence. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $350k to nearly $1m as of today.

@18:00 -- You only need to invest more for a shorter period of time to really accelerate. Your contributions for the first 30-50% of the time horizon is more valuable than the rest. So if people see investing more as a temporary goal so that you can let compounding do the rest it can give some encouragement to do larger investments just to get you jump started for the first couple years then go down to the 1,000$/month after that.

I increase my 457 by $150 every year and also have some cash savings on the side. 2022 my NW decreased by $27k, in 2023 it increased by $83k, hoping for a good year this year, already up $30k in the first half of the year.

One thing to know when your portfolio earns more than your income you have to factor in you get income and health benefits from work so you have to add that in as well Because if you don't you're gonna have to increase your expenses to pay for health benefits

Fantastic video. Love you guys. 41 here. Hit 1 mill liquid in investments and also have 1 mill in Real Estate (equity). I don't count or care abt real estate equity. Plan is to keep saving & investing 100k/yr until 55 and then show a middle finger to everything and travel the world. 😂.

How do you think about net worth as a married couple. Is it one combined number? Is it that number divided by 2? Individually calculated?

Complex question, and maybe not the right place to ask it, but how would you quantify partial ownership in a family business that produces no dividends to owners, but has a large amount of assets, namely real estate.

excellent content, I just subscribed but have been binge watching for months. Counting the $$ in the net worth is great and all; and I agree with all the milestones. But for me, to not get disappointed when markets decline; I concentrate on share size. For example, I remember when I had 10 shares of VTI, then 100 and so on. With this perspective, whenever there is a market dip; I truly realize I'm getting them on sale, with respect to the current goal of share size.

This was a much needed episode which shows beyond the plan path. Where can I find the decision maker tool? I need that to play (math) around beyond the napkin! 😅 Unfortunately for high income earners getting to a point where the liquid assets generating more than income consistently is a high bar to cross and might need millions in liquid assets.

The math should work regardless of income. If you save a percentage of low or high the timelines should be the same. Check out New Retirement if you want a comprehensive model. Im not affiliated with NR, but have been using it for years.

Do you guys view investment real estate different than your primary residence. You can sell a duplex rental way easier than you can sell your home. And the market rate of the rental could look different on net worth statement than residence.

I never counted our home equity or kids investments as part of net worth. We made the 1 million mile stone when I was 39/ 4 yrs ago. We are at 1.5 now only counting our retirement and cash assets. TBH I feel behind and nervous, because I feel the need to max anything and everything. Well can’t really max out the meg back door Roth yet. Since we still wanna live our lives with our 2 young boys lol

My original comment is 2 months old. The stock market fell last week and we are seeing signs of a recession. I'm 52 and chose not to retire when I could afford it. I have a weekly income and can buy the dip while watching my assets decline in value. I'm seeing deflation in certain areas like rent, clothing, furniture, cars, even food. Cash is king during deflation and it doesn't happen all in one day. Amazon and other great stocks are on sale. Even VOO. Recessions are the best time to make money. People act like a recession is a terrible thing but its not if you prepare for it. Pay off debt in good times. Get financing in place before credit tightens. Save cash. Most importantly, be patient!

25:40 the 4% rule is based on 30 year retirements only
@wpelfeta4 ай бұрын
But it also assumes you withdraw 4% every single year. But realistically you will know when the down years have come and adjust your living expenses lower. 4% should be fairly safe as long as your finances aren't at the knife's edge and you have some wiggle room to adapt.
@Austin-fc5gs4 ай бұрын
@@wpelfeta I agree with your caveats, I was mostly addressing the phrasing at 25:40 made it seem like it was calculated with 50 year time horizons, which is just wrong
@Lolatyou3324 ай бұрын
@@wpelfeta 3% is safer for someone retiring with a longer than 30 year horizon. Sure you can adjust your expenses lower, but when you do 4% and then suddenly the market crash how are you going to easily adjust your living expenses much lower? It's usually better to plan everything from the start to mitigate risk. If your retiring in your late 60s to 70s a 5% withdrawal rate will actually be fine most of the time, but anyone looking at FIRE will need to consider a 3% at the highest as retiring early can also potentially hurt their SS benefits.

I hadn't given it much thought, but my wife and I had our net worth increase $142k in 2023, and our W2 wages were $132k, so we are close to financial independence I guess? Seems crazy.
@Rob-me8vp4 ай бұрын
I know. It’s crazy. We felt like we were poor for so many years and after all of the continual investing our portfolio is up over $150,000 in the first few months of 2024. I still get concerned we won’t make our marks but I guess that is good bc it keeps us from overspending.

Financial success is anticlimactic 😅 you just reach ‘the number’ on paper and the world keeps spinning. Same body/health, same mental state, same friends/family, same number of hours in a day you had yesterday. But maybe more freedom if you can wrap your head around writing that letter of resignation 😉
