Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.

Currently working overseas but will return to my home country in the near future. I'm a landlord. I invested in property at the age of 22. Value has soared and renting out. Will live on the rental income I receive and live with my aging parents for the time being. At 60 I can withdrawal from my superannuation (401(k)). Have savings and eligible for the Australian pension at 63. In the future I may downsize, sell the property and buy cheaper property and add the left over money from the sale to savings. Lots of options for me. The way I see it if you have $1m at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income.

Building good spending habits is easily the most important rule here. Take any unnecessary expense you have each month and multiply that by 12x and again by 15x (if you're 40 years from retirement), the first # is how much you don't invest this year and the second # is how much you don't in at least 40 years (assuming a 7% growth rate).

[@monicacoyman2957]

Brian thank you very much for this helpful information..I wish I had done this sooner but will definitely start this..thank you

[@TravisAllen-ks4go]

I wish had done this 25 years ago.. I'm 45 and trying to save 25%.

[@princedarkly]

I made all the mistakes in my 20s. But it drove me to be as financially stable as possible now that I am in my early 30s.

[@AI_EmeraldApple]

Yeah me too. I had credit card debt and it was managable early so went rice and beans mode and paid it all off. And now we don't miss eatin out anymore hahaha.

[@Vincedaprince1]

Me too still haven’t got a break. Lots of education but haven’t had a salary over 50k in my mid thirties and expenses keep rising… 1400 gross pay is pretty tough in todays world. I’m ready to just be poor so I can get assistance smh

[@Vincedaprince1]

@@AI_EmeraldApple I literally just ate lime rice and black beans. Got to switch it up often it gets old. Cheapest meal 2.50 a meal

[@AI_EmeraldApple]

@@Vincedaprince1 We also bought a lot of and still buy costco chicken. 4.99 for a whole cooked chicken that lasts for many meals is not only a time saver, but saves money when you crave meat

[@Peglegkickboxer]

That's good, you still have three decades to work and get ahead. Keep it up and remember those lessons

I wish everybody the best on the financial journey! Do not let society make you crazy! Focus on yourself!

The sooner you owe nothing(have no debt), the better off you will be. First thing you need to do is to develop discipline. !

[@jaden8616]

Its interesting to see where others are at in life. I just turned 23 and moved back in with my parents grateful and will take full advantage to save my income. Still trying to figure out life and tighten up my plan for the future. Good luck to all those watching this video, we’re all here for a common reason

[@Schuball19]

Thank you for this I am a CFP and i send this video to my clients children and grandkids :)

[@robertfoote3255]

19000 views and a sad amount of likes? I boggles my mind why more people don't smash the like button for Brian. His content deserves it! 👍

[@bigegames2019]

Most Americans have less than 1k in savings and no emergency fund...so if your behind, your not alone...if you are watching this it means you likely are better off than you think already. Sometimes, just starting to make a change is a substantial win, there are no short cuts to getting rich and staying rich, it is an uphill climb, and that is why 90% never start. Don't be the 90%

[@maryannbennett8602]

Great video Brian, thank you!

[@kdefensemartialarts8097]

Thank you for your videos.

[@harleycartley3138]

This is the second time watching your video..good one. Anyway, I’m a dividend investor but it’s a slow and steady growth. I’m 39 with a $300k portfolio and plan to retire at 60. My goal is to reach 2 million by then...I repositioned some of my dividend stocks using my broker James Fletcher Brennan. Now, I’m buying fractional shares of TSLA, AMC ,NIO ,NVR again. Before I was after dividends for passive income but it’s slow growth so i took my chances on high growth stocks and I've gotten a 120% increase this year but hopefully I’ll reach a million sooner

[@gagnecaron658]

Nobody knows everything, You need to manage risk, and stick to your broker’s plan through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving. I also hope to trade with the big dogs soon

[@ericwilde4583]

he really seems to know his stuff. I also found his online page and read through his resume, educational background, qualifications and it was really impressive. he is a fiduciary who will act in my best interest. So, I booked a session with him

[@stanleyfujiwara1394]

I had to Google to be sure, he has a great resume

[@robertthurmond8161]

i'm happy there are lots of people doing so well...Love this channel for the transparency

[@CaptainFrandy]

Great video, 27 year old here. Trying to build wealth and diversify assets. I tend to have less than 10% each check available to save because I’m always investing. It’s a dynamic that needs balance but I believe that we should invest more when we are younger

[@denaetak1147]

Thank you..this does help keep me motivated.

[@matthewstamper3720]

thank you, very insightful

[@loryangnancyvangalways4904]

I love this video. Some may feel that it's too late but remember that it's never too late. The best way to get going on saving is to start.

[@Realryordie]

Great video! One thing I wish you mentioned is how much of a difference compound interest can add up from investing in your 20s vs 30s

[@sharinglungs3226]

Was thinking the same thing. As much as people in their 20’s have no savings if their parents could help kickstart that savings to compound would make a massive difference in the future.

[@Realryordie]

@@sharinglungs3226 people in their 20s don’t have saving because they are spending it…. That is why it should be emphasized

[@jads128]

I do love your content sir ! And always you are so in track and accurate! How this one it’s so focus on a very or externally small group of American ! Me as a Hispanic living the america dream ( I do mean it ) I know for sure this range are extremely far away for at least 90% of American! Plus just being truthful we just get out of a world pandemic plus recessions comming really hard, inflation it’s eating alive our saving or investment and finally purchasing powers keep going down, are really unrealistic escenarios for achieved this goals for the majority of people ! Forgetttttttt about other third world countries this is out of any possibility or reality !!

[@DWESENTERPRISE]

I wish I had this knowledge you're giving when I was growing up. Back in the 90s/00s, I didn't get this info.

[@jcsnoopy]

Thank you Brian! Will be coming into my 30s very soon and out of unexpected life events/poor financial literacy a few years ago, but have been working on discipline to set myself up for the future! Looking forward to educating myself and seeing more of your videos!

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Awesome! Good luck!

[@gift2792]

i felt so much better after watch this video because i thought everyone should be a millionaire at age 30

[@daniellelandau7762]

Thank you for this. Very helpful.

Literally just got a job offer so this is good timing for me. Thanks due!

[@Dnashtharapper]

This is a video for all young ages💯💯🤧 thx Brian

[@khaluu2000]

I know people are gonna say this is a boring video but by all means he is exactly right on how things are. If you force yourself to put aside money then you see less play money on the side and will be less tempted to go over budget. Kudos

[@inbm2102]

I love this video and shared with some people that need to learn.

[@rosieforChrist]

awesome advice and agreed-!!

[@iaintevengonholdyou]

So thankful that I found out about financial education while still living with my mom at 18 so I have time to save before I fully go Into the real world. I’m saving/ investing about 50-60% of my income right now

[@angelapham8695]

This is incredibly helpful. I'm 25 and trying to become financial literate. Although I know I'm young, I feel like I started focusing on money late

[@OroborusFMA]

I'm turning 60 this year and expect to have a net worth of $1 million by the end of the year. And I see no hope of retiring. They are dismantling Social Security before our eyes, and have already half-privatized Medicare via so-called Medicare Advantage (AVOID). You work until you die in this country. It's savage.

[@AB-fq4mr]

I'm in my mid-thirties, have $250,000 saved and make $140,000 a year. Sounds great, except that I wasn't able to buy a house before this bubble started. So either way, I'm still screwed. Net zero game after all that gruesome work I've put in over the years. This country is a joke now.

[@9770G]

Where do u live?

[@TheArtOfDean]

Not one person told me about the importance of building wealth at an early age. So much I've learned over the years has been due to trial and error, mostly error. I had a 401K that I depleted due to the hole that I put myself in. At 29 years old at the time. Ughhh. Thank you for the information.

[@ChineseWinnie]

you weren't able to think that saving money is good?

[@TheArtOfDean]

@@ChineseWinnie that wasn't it...

[@leahmcdermott4189]

How old are you now? 29 is still young, definitely young enough to turn it all around and still end up a millionaire in the future 💕

[@A.Musa76]

@@ChineseWinnie Back in my time. There was no electronic online forums or anything. It was all done on hard paper application forums. They don't teach you this in school and growing up, my parents did not teach anything about saving money. There to busy working to make end meat for us.

Great presentation.👌🏿👍🏿 Currently work on building my investments in REITs & Fuel Cell Energy div stock.

[@Dajen_Tk]

Extremely valuable video, thank you

[@Justme12345]

This is good. I’m in my 50s. 5 years away from retirement. I started late in saving. One obstacle at a time. Got the kids thru college debt free! I work part time. Hard to save as much as Brian suggested, but I invested in learning. I got my notary license, and am working at creating more income. It’s slow to be honest, but it keeps me busy and not shopping. So that’s a plus!

[@sharinglungs3226]

I hope your kids will be around to help you out for the sacrifice you made for their education.

[@TheAkumaChan]

Woah amazing. I had student loans and it honestly stressed me out. I hope your kids will appreciate your efforts, it will really give them a great boost to their financial stability.

I know they are “average”, but the numbers seem very low

[@Tinkerbell91280]

I feel depressed after watching this video because I’m 42 and no where near the numbers you listed😂😂😂

[@darrenmcinerney2212]

Great info, Thanks 👍😊.

[@ocean8866sea]

Great video! I've also heard that not delaying taking social security benefits and then invest it yourself is an option for a better return. Also it depends on your tax bracket if you will end up getting taxed more or less depending on the total from all sources of income, including 401k, etc. Can you provide some numbers for people who live in California or other states that require more savings in order to retire?
