How To Become a Millionaire ASAP

[@Jaymilnere]

I am a senior citizen and I believe that no one can become a millionaire overnight, it takes years of smart not hard work, time management and the right investments. Every year you don't invest you simply fall a year behind and I say this from experience.

[@Higuannn]

This are some of the many reasons why a few Neighbors at the Bel Air Area, myself included use financial planners. It is difficult to combine work and investments.

[@Angelavaldess]

@@Higuannn It’s important to consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions. My two cents.

[@Jaymilnere]

@@Angelavaldess I think that is a brilliant idea, I tried managing my stock portfolio by myself and I lost 50% of my savings in a very short period. That prompted me to hire a financial advisor. Since then I have made up to $680K in returns.

[@DanielPanuzi]

I know one thing for sure, starting early is the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. The stock market has plenty of opportunities to earn a decent payouts, with the right skills and proper understanding of how the market works.

[@JaneGill-fd9im]

Getting a head start on building wealth is crucial, and having a solid strategy is key, personally I think having a coach is the smartest move in today's stock market.

[@Tom-l2n]

What are the best strategies to protect my portfolio? I've heard that a downturn will devastate the financial market, so I'm concerned about my $300k stock portfolio.

[@Rachelp4u]

There are strategies that can yield solid gains in any economic situation, typically implemented by a portfolio strategist with a lot of experience. My friend introduced me to a financial advisor in 2022 and even though I was skeptical, I went on. I finally was making enough monthly dividend to quit my soulless job and pursue my dream.

[@IreneJHirst]

Most folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve not with standing inflation, from 275k to 750k

[@Tom-l2n]

Talking about advisors, 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.

[@lawrencedyke]

Achieving success hinges on the steps you actively take toward it. Accumulating wealth involves cultivating positive habits, such as consistently setting aside money at intervals for robust investments. Financial management, often avoided by many, can later become a haunting issue. My hope is that anyone reading this finds success in their journey!

[@SeanTalkoff]

Starting early is simply the best way of getting ahead to build wealth, investing remains a priority. I learned from my last year's experience, I am able to build a suitable life because I invested early ahead this time.

[@tmer831]

I love the insight. Professionals could make a really big difference in investing, and I think everyone should have one. There are aspects of market trend that is difficult for the untrained eyes to see. I have made more than 350% through my estateplanner(fa) by alternative investing. The portfolio comes with perks.

[@DavidCovington-st2id]

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 $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

[@tmer831]

Hello Dave, How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

[@zuniganichol11]

Not offering any particular advice, but I can assure you that it's not as hard as many people think it is. Ordinary investors lack the requisite level of diligence, so having a financial advisor on board is usually highly beneficial. In the market, this is how people generate enormous profits.

[@frankchappellxz]

I agree. There's a lot of potential in the market. My friend introduced me to a financial advisor in 2021, and even though I was skeptical, I went on. I finally was making enough monthly dividend to quit my soulless job and pursue my dream to start a restaurant in New Jersey and still earn five figures in monthly dividends.

[@NormanGhali]

That's really great. I've tried doing some research myself to hire a financial advisor, but it's really overwhelming. Could you recommend who you work with, please?

Several individuals minimize the importance of counsel until their own feelings become overwhelming.

The difficulties that the current generation faces are quite depressing. I wanted to know how to use some money that I had. I used a small portion of it for online sales, but that failed. My primary concern is safeguarding my $300K stock portfolio from loss, but I'm not sure how to go about it.

[@alicegomez7232]

Yes, things may be difficult now, but I've realized that there are always possibilities to make significant gains in bear and bull markets, recessions, and economic booms. I used to call people out when they boasted about making a fortune in these down situations, until I actually did.

[@margie-b2v]

Nice. People often underestimate financial advisors' importance. 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..

I'm worried about whether those who experienced the 2008 financial crisis had it easier than I currently am. The volatility of the stock market is a concern as my income has decreased, and I fear that I won't be able to contribute as much as before, potentially jeopardizing my retirement savings.

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform.

Ten years ago, I was debt free. Now, I'm over $50K in debt. Why? I didn't have a goal. I also borrowed and spent money on things that I didn't need. The first thing you have to do is set a goal. My wake-up call is that I am 54 and not ready to retire in ten years. I don't want to depend on inheritance to get out of debt and retire. I now have a goal. It isn't to buy a house though. That is the typical American dream for most people and it does build your net worth. My goal is to retire on a sailboat and cruise the seas. First goal: become a millionaire in ten years. Second goal: remain healthy to enjoy my retirement.

You don't even need to invest over 15 percent. Time is your real factor. 18k saved in an index fund for 40 years will get you to a million without putting in anything else but the initial 18k. Check out George's video on the power of compound interest which is his 100k video.

[@earitch5856]

Love the principles and I'm not a Ramsey hater, but if I followed Dave's advice to the T, I wouldn't have bought my home which is now worth twice what I paid for it 6 years ago (in what was considered a hot market at the time), nor would I have lost money investing in small cap and international mutual funds. There are going to be different situations where sticking to Dave's plan will frankly delay your wealth building... buying a house today with a 15 year mortgage as a rule is probably the largest rule to ignore - if you can do that then great, if you can then you're likely already independently wealthy. Eliminate revolving credit, pay off high interest accounts first, have a budget, be frugal and smart -- but know that your situation is going to be different than others and you should act accordingly.

[@oli0808]

15 year mortgage and only 25% of NET income. That's so low. I'm in the UK so maybe it's different but house values are typically 5 to 6 times Gross Income. I've done just that and on a 30 year mortgage it's about 35% of net income. My home is more than I need but the smallest I could get away with would still be about 25% payment on a 30 year mortgage not a 15 year mortgage.

Then a few years later I went from 120k to 170k by switching companies again. Shop around for employers. Sometimes you dont need a side hustle you just need to find a company that will pay you what youre really worth.

37 year old and hit 2.1 million with no debt. I worked my butt off and had two mental breakdowns in the privacy of my own home and had health issues.

I’m single, a fairly attractive and highly educated woman, and I’m worried that the money I have is not enough and I can’t stop working. I’m tired. Money is great, but I can see why people say anyone can be unhappy and unsatisfied whether rich or poor. I think once I get to 4 million that will be enough but…at what expense?

[@JoeFromSomewhere2303]

"The late novelist Kurt Vonnegut informed his pal, Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch-22 over its whole history. Heller responded - “Yes, but I have something he will never have ... enough.” No milestone will ever make you feel complete. You need to find out why you dont feel fulfilled and work on that. I felt super behind when I first started investing and I invested like crazy (and still do lol). But I realized I would need a milestone where I felt I had "caught back up" and after thinking about it over the course of several years I realized there won't be a point where I feel caught up. So gotta appreciate doing the process. The process will get you to the end goal so make sure you enjoy the process cuz the end goal will never be rewarding in the way you want it to be.

It's just a crutch that people use to give up and not do anything about it. What they need to do is start making good decisions and get a real plan and execute that plan. I will be honest, cost of living is crazy right now but it's not hurting me. I do less so I can still save and give just like I did back in the early 2000s. Doing is always better than crying about it.

Paying a mortgage off early that has an interest rate under 5% is throwing money away. As an example, I have a 4% mortgage. If I put $1000 a month into a high yield savings, I will make 1% more on interest than I save by paying down that much on a 4% mortgage. Of course if one has a newer, and ultimately higher mortgage rate, this example does not apply.

Nice video, im 29 and my wife is 28, we have a net worth around 385k, im hoping we have the house payed off in 10 years so we can be net worth millionaires by the time we reach 40

[@stevenporter863]

0:07 Caller: George, how can I become a millionaire without working, and by 25? Thank you. 😂😂😂

[@iamdachampion09]

Does the 15% include match? I contribute 10% and my company matches with 6%. Does that count for "15%" rule?

[@Andi.Plans2]

My 13 year old said that “accountabilibuddies” was used in MLP Equestria Girls! Lol 😂😂😂

[@sethsyverson6701]

4:05 accountabilibuddy is from South Park 😂

[@TylerofSc004]

I have about 250k distributed across various investing accounts, with 35% of my capital invested in an ISA and 25% in index funds. In Q4, 2023, I suffered a great deal. I'm just searching for methods to get better in 2024 right now.

[@kaisaplews1407]

i save/invest roughly 60% of my income,never had debt or any type of loan i hope its a good start

[@flybyav8tor]

The fastest way to become a millionaire is to help lots of people as a small business. We went from a -$59k net worth to a $500k annual income in 3 years. Lots of hard work and over $1,000 people helped.

[@Bum_Hip]

If you separate yourself from Dave Ramsay, you will gain a TON of credibility, and admiration. Your gains will 100% outweigh any potential losses.

[@jasonf800]

Never do a 15 year mortgage. Always do 30 year and if you can pay it off early, most certainly do that. 30 year mortgage gives greater flexibility to the homeowner in times of stress.

[@dking1362]

True, BUT you will carry a higher interest rate.

[@V8Brah]

If you have $100,000 at 19 you should put 100% in the riskiest investment to make the most money. The reason is, even if you lose it, you are young and can make it back easily.

[@RobertBeedle]

Im currently on what would be the equivalent to baby step 6, but it's not completely Dave's plan. I look forward to doing a colab with you someday in the not to distant future. ❤

[@benb6691]

The tools and equipment I’ve bought with debt have allowed me to reach my financial success in ten years. I’d still be doing well without it, but nowhere near as well.

[@IrisP989]

We reached a net worth of $1M plus with debt. Does it still count?

[@NSGLiv]

Yes

[@vlharmon]

As long as your assets are a million plus whatever your debt amounts to.

[@IrisP989]

You meant minus the debt that we have

[@vlharmon]

@@IrisP989 One million in assets. 50,000 in debts. You would need One million and fifty thousand to be a millionaire. I think we are saying the same thing.

[@IrisP989]

Got it. Correct.

[@jillmorrison9883]

I have a 20yr old nephew who is positive he's going to be a millionaire by 22. He needs to watch your videos

[@jorlyse1222]

I did it at 45. Beat ya

[@johnny_c-l]

I'd love to order a Lyft and have George pick me up!

[@jacob-t-s]

Only thing I find hard to agree with is the dual income stuff. A man should provide for his family and allow for his wife to stay at home so the kids don't have to be raised by some daycare workers just so you can invest more

[@Cuirenteria]

If I'm 65 and I want to retire, what should I do with the 1-2million dollars that I have saved? Leave it in the account and make monthly withdrawals or withdraw all the funds and buy properties and live of the rents?

[@pholy98]

Hate to break it to you George, but I think South Park did Accountabilibuddies first 😂

[@40yearprocess.6]

Trying to become a millionaire takes a long time when you’re following Dave’s 7 baby steps. 😅

[@RosalieXimenes]

My spouse and I are adding a variety of stocks/ETF to my present holdings for the long term, We've set aside $250k to start following inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, I believe it is a good time to capitalize on the market for long-term gains, but it wouldn't hurt to know means of actualizing short term profit.

[@AnsjeHarris]

Look for stocks that have paid steady, increasing dividends for years (or decades), and have not cut their dividends even during recessions. Alternatively speaking to a certified market strategist can help with pointers on equities to acquire

[@LouxCazaree]

Yes, I've been in constant touch with a Financial Analyst for approximately 8 months. You know, these days it's really easy to buy into trending stocks, but the task is determining when to sell or keep. That's where my manager comes in, to help me with entry and exit points in the industries I'm engaged in. Can’t say I regret it, I’m 40% up in profits just in 5months with my initial capital of $160k.

[@PaulStaniscia]

Smart, If i wanted to do the same with my retirement funds too, how do i get started trading?

[@LouxCazaree]

Well, there are a few out there who know what they are doing. I tried a few in the past years, but I’ve been with Marisa Michelle Litwinsky for the last five years or so, and her returns have been pretty much amazing.

[@PaulStaniscia]

This recommendation is coming at the right time because i am literally grasping for straws atm! I verified her online and scheduled a phone call with her.

[@tcgtpl]

You can find his debt-free scream episode on the Ramsey channel. Someone in that video’s comments did the math & figured he & wife had an additional 6k a month to put into paying their house off early, so they had some serious margin. George has also said in previous videos on this channel that he & wife do make good money so that has really helped in their situation.

[@charletfoster8917]

Great video!!!!!

[@ThePjrm82]

Bro beame a millionaire buy buying a home near Nashville and hit the covid boom.

[@dukeofrocjohnson3390]

Disagree. Your home does not count as an asset UNTIL you sell it. Up until that point it's a liability. Home owners are ALWAYS having to spend money to maintain the home. Therefore it is NOT an asset, and should not be counted in the "net" calculation. I know you will disagree, and that's fine. You will certainly reach ACTUAL millionaire status very soon, despite the fact you OWN that enormous liability called, a house.

[@Ryan.zelenski]

Make a video about how to deal with broke family members trying to get you to support their mlm "business"

[@enigmathegrayman2953]

While I’ll likely never get to the million benchmark I think I’ll be just fine as a senior bachelor

[@stevensmiddlemass2072]

Personally, I think investors will start to seek more market diversification. can i confidently invest about $350k into the financial markets in 2024? I'm still not sure how rates will effect the market just yet, which worries me a lot.
