Automatic investments in low cost index funds compounded over time will change your life AND you need to set aside part of that to play and buy what you believe in. My Vanguard accounts over the last decade have been a life changing investment but also discipline and practice. But having a business background, learning about and understanding business allowed me to make some investments early in into Tesla, Square, Apple, Amazon and Peloton that have grown asymmetrically, but having the decade of compounding index fund growth keeps me sane even when the market dips. “The most important organ in making good investment decisions is not the brain, but the stomach “ Peter Lynch

I enjoyed this interview but my only complaint is how frequently Tom interrupted the guest. I’ve noticed when people aren’t quote “financial people” and they talk to someone in the know about investments, it seems like they always try to interject to “prove” how smart they are about money and investing. It honestly seems like a subconscious thing, but personally it’s very frustrating to me. Enjoyed it but please word of advice to any interviewer who sees this, let your expert speak on the subject matter, especially in the realm of finance.

[@HappyCleanersWA]

Tom is probably top 5 interviewers in the world, he seemed off his game on this one with all the interruptions.

[@MT-yx5cu]

[@KingSB187]

I think Tom chimes in because it's as if he's piecing together what ramits saying, but he saying it out loud, and because he's saying it out loud Ramit can correct him if he's wrong, that's just my opinion , good interview never the less

[@hoosaindalvie9515]

Really love this video. Must say, I've been heavily addicted to investing and saving for the long term. Compound interest is probably one of the most under rated topics when talking about investing.

[@johnfehringer]

Ramit is smart for what he is comfortable believing in and many of his “hacks” should be considered. Problem is he has a slick schtick that gets him on programs like Tom’s but he has failed to scale his thinking for current financial shifts that are inevitable. You can tell from his generalized concepts that his models are based on limited knowledge of alternatives that will be necessary when it come to the ending debt cycle. He even groups all “cryptos” together and probably doesn’t understand the difference between Bitcoin and Dogecoin.

[@rob_cd]

I'm new to the money game but sensed some of what you said, and his "generalized concepts" left me with questions.

[@truthaboveall7988]

Saying everyone in gme is in mom’s basement in RH app sounded funny. I have 250k invested there, own a home am retired at 40 & use fidelity. Plus, the most successful hf in the world just bought 99m worth of shares. It’s the media that is brainwashing not those invested.

[@user-sq5mv4ix5r]

I think the way his advocates the idea of investing in a safe manner. People can take risks at different age in their life as mentioned in the video. However, the risk tolerence on crypto may still be too great for his investment ideology. Lets just pretend majority of the people who invested in crypto understands in-depth on what they are investing in, can you really group crypto to "risky investment"? My perspective is that, Ramit probably grouped crypto a new emerging market where even the fiscal regulation on them can be changed overnight. So crypto is not just "risky", it probably is extremely high risk and is not suited to his investment ideology. Someone mentioned about GME investment comment down below. I think Ramit just generalized that there's a large group of so called investors who have no idea what they're buying into. It's great for you to not fall into the group of "mo's basement in RH app etc etc". But just because you don't, does not automatically make the statement false. He ain't targetting you, and it's ok. Media is doing the brainwashing, but also who's funding those media to push for the narrative they're trying to get out to the public?

[@blockminingsolutions]

@@rob_cd his whole premise is based on persuading others to dump their money into “safe investments” with historical 7% returns… the problem is he neglects to mention the risk of the ending debt cycle and the one ruble collapse of our debt based currency controlled by a private bank. The truth is, nobody knows if the market will collapse in a year or 10. Nothing is guaranteed anymore, except there are only 21 million Bitcoin. Checks and balances. Accountability will come someday.

The difference is that Ramit's advice doesn't care if there's a crash coming or not, it will come someday, again and again, but nobody knows when or how. Automated DCA into indexes will easily endure any crashes and thrive afterwards, completely on autopilot while living your life, instead of spending time stressing about market timings.

If I had to choose best options it'll probably be being a business owner, cash value life insurance, digital real estate (no not meta verse), index funds

I bought my home in 2015 at a 2.25% fix interest now the home is more that double for what I pay , I say this because sometimes the even call expert are wrong each situation is diferent, if you can buy your home low with good credit you will pay less than renting , if you buy the wrong home is expensive and also realstate condition in every state are different, California and new York are broken in my opinion

Good discussion, my only issue is him telling people not to trade, what a limiting belief or philosophy, better for him to labor how hard and difficult a sport it is but to say most people even in Wall Street don't make money is a complete misnomer, just because you haven't seen it or witnessed it does not mean nobody makes money. maybe you are simply not in those circles. Trading is not a personal finance topic or theme, he is talking off an area he is completely ignorant on in my opinion. but I agree with a lot of his high level concepts
