I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

[@CarterHall-re5fu]

diversifying your investments is the safest way to handle it. One way to lessen the effects of a market crisis is to distribute investments over a variety of asset classes, such as international equities, bonds, and real estate. It's critical to look for expert advice.

[@AshlelThomas]

A lot of 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 notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

[@JackHudson.]

That does make a lot of sense, unlike us, you seem to have the Market figured out. Who is this coach?

Quit smoking, quit drinking, shop for cheaper insurance (any type of insurance), cut cable, cut streaming services, shop at Aldi, make your own meals, get a different job, ask for a raise, get a side hustle. Turn down the heat by a degree or two, raise the a/c by a few degrees, pay off debts, buy a older less expensive car that will lower insurance and taxes, stop buying unnecessary stuff, lessen your travel budget (there are many ways to do this). Stop buying meals out, stop getting the daily coffee out. The list goes on and on.

You can spot the doomers by the comments on this video: "BUT $1 MILLION WILL ONLY BE WORTH $250K WHEN YOU'RE 78!" First, these numbers already factor inflation in. Second, what's the alternative? To sit around and leave disaffected comments on youtube? If you want to become a millionaire before your 50s or 60s, start a business. Negotiate your salary. Find a new job. I show you how to do every one of those things at iwt.com/products. But you can't do any of those if you sit around trying to leave "gotcha" comments about inflation (which you're wrong about anyway). I share my material because I believe everyone should live a Rich Life. You can even do it with a low wage! But you have to start to take control of your own finances and not wait for things to change on their own.

[@SuzanneU]

I love that: What's the alternative?? I started getting serious about money about 20 years ago. My husband and I only started jointly earning $100k a couple of years ago. We're now jointly a quiet millionaire, with none of our net worth in real estate or cars. This is after annuitizing a chunk of our capital a year ago. He'd fully retired, I'm soft retired. I like my job and the 10-15 hours a week I work gives me mental stimulation, a sense of satisfaction with each project, and extra income. We did nothing flashy or clever. We've used our 403(bs), ROTHs, Traditional ITAs, cd ladder, and savings account. Boring! Boring is excellent.

Great vid. Although I didn’t follow this advice until later in life, it’s something I pushed my son on. He’s 30 and has over $300k in retirement, with 80% of it in Roth.

[@SeanPerez101]

Thank you for this!

[@KNIGHTDRAGON87]

Hey Ramit. Love your content! So in the video, the example used was having an annual salary of $50k to become a millionaire. However, the thumbnail shows a wage of $9/hr which equates to $18,720 annually ($1560/month). Unless someone has absolutely no financial obligations, it's going to be very improbable for someone to invest and build wealth with that income. With $50k/year ($24/hr), it's much more probable to invest the way that was suggested. Salary definitely plays a role on not only how fast someone builds wealth but even if it is possible to do so.

[@tf4606]

What was he thinking putting that up?

[@AlyssaWolverton]

Wow never thought of that....good catch! Maybe he is assuming married couple?

Try to generate side income to increase your annual income still you can invest and make half a million 🥸

The $9/hr doesn’t remain constant throughout your life. Generally you earn more as you grow older and he mentioned you invest in percentages of your income.

[@brandonrichardson7248]

I think when people say they want to be a millionaire they misspeak. They really want to be day-to-day wealthy. They want to make a half million per year. A millionaire at 65 isn't that flashy. And its likely going to be a middle flass or less lifestyle.

[@brentjtalbert]

solid video sir. i agree with everything in the video, but i think you miss a key way to leapfrog years ahead & increase your savings rate. if/when you get some extra money like the stimulus money, tax returns, a bonus from work, etc. you should invest 100% of it and jump ahead of your savings rate by a significant amount(for a low earner this can be huge!). example, if you invest $400 a month then get a $4k bonus it is a ten month jump that compounds and that one move makes your yearly contribution double.

[@helloman121220]

Here in Australia, it's the law for employers to give 11% of your weekly wages in 401k contribution. So, if you earn $2000 before tax, your employer must contribute an extra $220 to your 401k portfolio without wage sacrifice.

I like that you put the return assumptions and rate assumptions. And I liked that you used a more conservative percentage. At the start of my career, I looked at the lifetime returns of the lifecycle funds offered at my university. None of them reached 7%, and I’m pretty sure those were the nominal returns, not inflation adjusted. Lifecycle funds are almost never all equities, especially in the latter half of the worker’s tenure and the market average people tend to refer to is stock market, not bond market. Long story short, I ultimately decided to only leave a portion in my lifecycle and put the other portion towards something more representative of the stock market.

Leverage, when used appropriately, can make a huge difference to the timeline. Wouldn’t it be prudent that the people that want to become a millionaire should spend some time learning to use leverage; be it buying a condo and renting out the second bedroom or getting a small margin loan to increase high conviction potential investments? At all times you should be ready for the worst case situation, but missing out on this great tool just because it’s risky is something that I can’t fathom.

My parents did this from a very young age. They're financially free and they've given me and my brother the greatest gift, not having financially support them in their old age. Please consider doing this if you have kids 🙏

[@devilmonkey427]

🤣Sorry..... But I miss read it and thought you typed "My parents *died* from a very young age" I was like.... WOW. That's harsh. 🤣🤣🤪🤪

You're always so honest. Thank you. What would you do with $1000 or $5000 for a quick return? I think a lot of people can relate to this.

[@ramitsethi]

I don't focus on quick returns

three tips on how to become a millionaire on a low salary: Budget Wisely: Prioritize saving and invest any extra income wisely. Cut unnecessary expenses and live below your means. Consistently saving even small amounts can add up over time. Increase Income Streams: Look for opportunities to boost your income outside of your primary job. This could include freelancing, starting a side business, or investing in passive income streams like real estate or stocks. Continuous Learning: Invest in your education and skills development to increase your earning potential. Take advantage of free or low-cost resources such as online courses, workshops, and networking opportunities to expand your knowledge and expertise.

Being a millionaire has been a goal of mine (not a dream) since I was in college I keep hitting roadblocks but like that feeling on the tip your tongue I feel like I'm inching closer to figuring out how I can get there successfully. For me though I don't want to enjoy my riches when I'm old I want to travel and be with my family more while I'm young and can still do things.

"Investing is boring." I wish more financial types would say this. It's one of the reasons I haven't finished any investing or finance books (I've started plenty). Investing really is like watching paint dry.

[@donaldlyons17]

Well that might depend on how much money is thrown in. I consider making more than I spend better than any investment SH*T period!!!

For those that have accumulated enough money to almost retire, but out of work and need health insurance, you just need to make 15k a year to be eligible. If you can do that, your health insurance will be mostly subsidized by ACA. You can get a low paying job but still have insurance.

I DCA'd into XRP and AMX300K even though I told myself I was going to wait until I get paid but I couldnt resist, these prices are too good to wait!

For the first part, the same is true for debt, the longer you have it the higher it will grow.

I invest with vanguard as a self investor, so no management fees

I did the same and that made a HUGE difference in my returns.

what is your opinion on fidelity

[@devilmonkey427]

@@sabrinachambers8353 I have them for my HSA, they're good. They have a more advanced interface and better options. I just like Vanguard because it's not owned by a private family, like Fidelity is. But you can't go wrong with either one of them.

The funds still have a yearly management fee.
