How I Earn $6,500/Month In Passive Income | Fired Up

Amberly Grant, 34, vowed to be a millionaire after reading her first finance book at age 15. Then, in college, she discovered the FIRE movement, which stands for financial independence, retire early, and began working toward her dream of retiring early. Living in Denver, she was hired as a full-time project manager, started investing in real estate and launched a financial education side hustle. Today, Grant has accumulated a net worth of $835,000, and recently welcomed her first child.

How I Earn $6,500/Month In Passive Income | Fired Up

[@caseybills5517]

I appreciate your commitment to guiding others toward financial success. We all strive for security and a better quality of life, and this can be achieved through smart investments, mindful spending, and effective budgeting. I'm thankful I discovered the value of hard work and financial independence early on in my journey.

[@StacieBMui]

In my view, smart investing is not just a method for generating passive income but also a strategic way to save for future financial needs. Those who don't make sound decisions early on often find themselves regretting it later. However, investing can be complex and risky when done alone. That's why I strongly suggest seeking guidance from a professional. The key is not simply absorbing information from videos or books, but applying that knowledge wisely in real-world situations.

[@LiaStrings]

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I opt to entrust the day-to-day decision-making to an investing coach. With their specialized knowledge and extensive research, it is highly unlikely for them to underperform. Their expertise is centered around harnessing the asymmetrical potential of risks while also employing measures to safeguard against unfavorable outcomes. I have been collaborating with an investment coach for more than two years

[@TylerJamestown]

How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?

[@LiaStrings]

I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, Rebecca Nassar Dunne turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

[@PennyBernadette]

I just checked her out and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon

[@Vivianlaure4]

I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.

[@Willi-w1q]

You're correct. I think the smartest way to go is to spread out your investments. By putting your money into different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and stocks from other countries, you can lower the risk if one part of the market goes bad.

[@ChristopherHenry2]

That sounds like a good plan. In the past two years, working closely with a financial market specialist, I've built a six-figure diversified stock portfolio. Now, I aim to diversify even more this year.

[@elviegoodness]

Talking about a financial market specialist, do you consider anyone worthy of recommendations? I have about 100k to test the waters now that large cap stocks are at a discount... Thanks

I've just completed the sale of a property located in Portland and I'm considering reallocating the resulting funds into the stock market. Despite prevailing sentiments regarding its readiness, I'm unsure about the timing of stock purchases. How long until we witness a full market recovery? Furthermore, I'm puzzled by the methods allowing others in the same market to achieve gains surpassing $200k within months.

[@SarahTaylor_]

If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert. Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.

[@EthanBrown_23]

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $275k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

I sincerely believe people often underestimate financial advisors' importance too. Over 50 years of data reveal that those who work with advisors typically earn more than those who go it alone. I've been fortunate to work with one for 13 years, resulting in a $1 million portfolio, largely from early investments in AI and other growth stocks.

Kristin Amber Landis has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.

[@ChristopherAbelman]

The truth is that everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realized early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.

[@HildaBennet]

Investing is a fabulous way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. But, if done alone, investing may be challenging and risky. For this reason, I suggest consulting experts for advice (financial advisors). The difficulty lies in effectively employing it, not just watching videos and reading investing books.

[@PennyBergeron-os4ch]

I'm moved by what you said. I have a sizable amount of money that I am willing to invest if given the appropriate knowledge and I am highly interested in investing.

She has so much property debt! With a baby & a boyfriend that doesn't have a job, I seriously cannot understand how she thinks she can be "retired" at 40? Especially that kids also get more expensive as they grow up.

Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however. I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter

[@wandemiles]

You're absolutely right about the power of compound interest and the long-term potential of investing in index funds like the S&P 500. For many, passive investing in broadly diversified funds can be a reliable strategy over time.

[@HilmanJacks-mq1tc]

Employing a professional financial analyst or advisor can certainly add value by offering tailored advice, portfolio diversification, risk management, and timely insights. Their expertise can potentially speed up wealth creation and navigate market complexities, but it's important to choose someone reputable and consider their fees, as they can impact your overall returns.

SAVA, alzheimer pill on the verge of FDA approval with a company founded in 1998. Said to have zero negative side effects, slow progression of alzheimer, and slightly improve the symptoms, on the final phase of fda testing to be completed end of 2024. Small biotech company solely working on their one product, the alzheimer pill. They also discovered that combined with a separate FDA drug which targets pituitary cancer tumors, the destruction of those cancer cells is increased. They have no immediate plans to pursue cancer research, but acknowledge the potential, and are 100% focused on completing their alzheimers approval. They also have an early detection product on the works for alzheimers. They hope to not only use their pill to reduce the progression of alzheimers and extend life spans, but also to prevent alzheimers before it has a chance to take over. There has been almost no selling of stock from any of their board members even when it reached a peak price of around $120. In fact some of them rebought even more stock since. They have successfully fended off and recovered from two massive slander/short attacks. Very promising imo. It's really stable at an $18-$24 range throughout the years. Realistic estimated ranges if FDA approved for the pill alone is $200 to $300 range. They are sitting on $142.4 million in cash with zero debt. Two phase 3 trials, one completing end of 2024 and one mid of 2025.

Most financial experts and retirement planners for sure don’t recommend using that kind of current “equity” in leveraged property as part of invested funds. Net worth /investments should not really consist of more than 15-25% of assets (ideally your own paid off home) you plan to retire in. A 1.5 million dollar property(s) you owe 1 million on is not at all the same as having a 500k in the bank or mutual funds investment accounts. Not at all! It can evaporate overnight as you are in debt for 1 million first and foremost!

I have $1200 a month is rent, $580 in car payments (26k car, average car today is 48k), $120 in car insurance, $160 in utilities, and around $900 a month in food ($30 per day). That's $3160 per month, which excludes random health care costs and repairs on my car, and so many other unexpected expenses. That also excludes the need to buy cloths, chairs, tables, couches, tv's, computers to do my work on, ect. And to pay that $3160 per month, I need to make around $5500 per month before taxes. Her numbers make sense if all you had to do was pay rent, but that's not life. I don't see how see can live on so little. Even if she has $6500 a month in passive income, most of that surely goes to paying the mortgages and repairs.

I looked up the name and came across her web page, I went through her resume and I must say it was quite impressive. I reached out to her and I have scheduled a call with her.

[@GallantNite]

her real net worth is negative 1.1M. 1.7M worth properties, average 17% equity, 250k cash on hand. real net worth is negative 1m at least if minus debt ratio.

[@jdthompson5778]

Exactly! Reality is she’s in over her head and doesn’t realize it yet. What a mess! Hope she wakes up soon so she can retire by 55 or 60. I’d sell the properties and get my 17% equity back asap. Start saving half my salary, maybe get an extra side hustle, make that boyfriend work & contribute more, and get rid of primary residence mortgage completely before even thinking about retiring early - if she’s really serious about FIRE and actually “making it” someday!

[@iFireender]

Yup. 1.41M in debt. 6% interest currently. She probably still has some old, low-percentage mortgage, but man, if she has to get new rates. Oops, that'll be 85k a year in interest. She has 5 Units, 2 Duplexes and one house. She wants to live in the house in the future. Let's say she rents out the duplexes at 2k each half. Oops, that's just 96k in rental income. Assuming ~1% home value in maintenance yearly, that's 17k a year on top of the 85k interest. Suddenly, 102k expenses with 96k income. Oh no - she suddenly is making a net loss!

[@circe...]

STOP BUYING HOMES FOR RENTAL PURPOSES! There are many people that just want a home of their own to live in, not as a business. Great for her success, but it's terrible for us younger people forced to rent. Ugh.

[@Brandon-tz5pn]

What? The purpose of the video is financial freedom. Buying a house just for you to live in isn’t financial freedom.

[@circe...]

@@Brandon-tz5pn And there lies the problem. We've shifted mindsets to elevate homeowning, a human necessity btw, as the prime way to make an untraditional living, when it should just be for living! Find an actual job! So one person/family can hinder 5 or 6+ families every time they purchase a new home to flip as a rental property. Individualism and greed is so rabidly pursued that the collective nature and "good for the country" are almost non-existent in the US now. It's really disheartening. Glad this lady found a way to support her family, but sucks for her "tenants".

[@happylife7542]

My thoughts are : I am not sure if the number really adds up kinda thing. I get you can leverage debt to make money, but I feel that is more for multi millionaire or large corporations. Being a millionaire ourselves ( not counting home equity and reached the number at age 39) I don’t feel so comfortable at all to use debt. Also if you use the basic FI calculator, for her to need 100k per year and never ran out money, 800 something just ain’t enough. With all the mortgage debt, that is scary for me at least. But good for her…

[@jdthompson5778]

You get it! 100%. You did it the right way. Debt is her biggest enemy and she could easily be wiped out in one bad economic cycle! This lady is sadly likely in for a world of hurt with her illusionary “835k” as far as true FI and early retirement that can last 50-60+ years. Good thing she knows how to live on very little when needed.

I mean. This is always the exact same strategy. Choose the lowest cost possible lifestyle, create a bunch of passive income streams by buying real estate, completely ignore the externalities of your behavior on the housing market and society as a whole, and feel free to retire early. 😶 Then advertise this ancient, unoriginal, highly unsustainable self-enrichment as though it somehow scales on a population level. Personally, I find the readiness to glamorize this strategy deeply unsavory.

[@ryanchristiansen]

No offence, but you should be contributing to society during your prime. Anyone who brags that they are retired at under 50 is selfish in my opinion. You should be working or volunteering for the majority of your life rather than looking for ways to essentially do nothing but travel and post pictures online. It's such a weird society that has evolved where telling people that you don't have to work anymore at 34 is celebrated. There's nothing wrong with be financially able to retire, but you should not be bragging about how you no longer contribute to society at 34.

[@Akgolf1234]

That’s not enough to retire. She will be back to work n 5 years

She didn’t retire

[@amfland6433]

I’ve been thinking about this a lot since I watched the video. And these numbers just really don’t seem sustainable long term. There seem to be a lot of idealistic assumptions. With that said, the way she manages and saves money is worth a standing ovation. But she needs to continue to do that for many more years and appreciate she is in her prime earning potential years and when she runs out of money many of those variables will have changed and guaranteed to be more expensive. Good luck would love to see the follow up in 10 years!

[@supreme5580]

That's a great comment, CNBC make it, I second that! I would also love to see updates, like shark tank does, but like in 10-15 years time. I realize that's a long time to wait for new content from those subjects, but maybe there can be some shorts in between to fill in the community that is interested in pursuing FI

[@vicgamesvt9682]

I believe its because she is basically going to BaristaFire. Her goal is $8400/month; if you take 30% of for the rental property's that gives $4550/month, $850k at 3.75% withdrawal rate is $2350/month and together that's $6900/month meaning she only needs to earn $1500/month from her job. To many in the FIRE community her plan would seem crazy but honestly I think it's pretty solid just based on the fact she is only spending $3600/month but is planning for $100k yearly spend.

[@amfland6433]

@@vicgamesvt9682 time will tell…

[@heyaisdabomb]

@@vicgamesvt9682 I don't get this at all. It really makes no mathematical sense. I can live on around 60k per year personally if I don't need any major purchases. But to walk away with 60k, I need to make over 100k because of taxes. So I make over 100k, but I still live paycheck to paycheck. I have around 10k per year in extra money to play with, but I didn't inherit anything from my family. So I'm buying furniture and a car. She's also not accounting for repairs to her houses, which a roof is 10k or more, HVAC can be 10k or more, water pump, leaks, and so much more. I don't see how she could make this work, and it fells like boomers put this women up to be like, see millennials, you can make it, when the cards are stacked against us compared to what boomers had.

[@heyaisdabomb]

@@vicgamesvt9682 Also, how much she really makes is uncertain. Yes, I could raise a family of 3 with 100k net income. That's $165k salary right there before taxes are paid. But she said at first she only made 50k per year, and just started earning 150k per year. Yes, she makes money from rentals, but if she only made 50k per year when she bought these houses, she must be up to her eyes in debt. So most of her rent earnings must go towards the mortgages. I can't see how she even nets 100k per year, but also claims she saves 70%, which means, she must take home 335k per year after taxes to save 70% of her income, and still have 100k left over to spend. Which means she must make well over 460k per year pre taxes. Again, then numbers just don't add up. Even if she profits $6500 month after mortgage costs, that's only 78k per year plus her 150k income, which is well short of the 460k she needs to make for her numbers to make sense.

Yeah even if she actually had $835k in investments vs mostly leveraged properties…. At 34, with a partner and child no way you could take even 25k a year out to live on, let alone 40k! She’s got to plan for at least 50 years. She’s not close to FIRE! I wouldn’t even count those property values at all as retirement savings until they are paid off properties… where you would always get some rent to pay the property tax, insurance and maintenance on the property.

[@dannylengyel5830]

She's playing with FIRE retiring on that small of an amount and that much of a mortgage on those properties, I tell ya.

[@jasonhatfield4747]

It needs to be pointed out that if she wasn't living in Canada (where healthcare is paid for through taxes), she would not be able to live on just 40k/year. If she lived in the US, she would need to tack on an additional $20k per year just to cover health insurance for her and her small family.

[@beautyholic5592]

She is losing more than that through the inflated taxes that are tacked on federally and provincially. Half of her income is gone while she's more likely to get paid less than an American in a major city for the same role -- the only advantage to her location might be safety, but even Vancouver's crime rates are beginning to rival the U.S.'s nowadays...
