Investing Mistakes To Avoid

[@EngrUmarIkram]

Well, I just made my first investment in VGS after watching your videos for the past 3 weeks over & over again. Now I know, why I invested & how this investment works. Thank you so much Sanjee!

[@viewer80]

Well, "start early" is a step I can't take. But I won't let that deter me. Thanks for sharing your tips and knowledge.

[@roseleenkaran2390]

I wish I knew all about EFT before thank to you i have invested in vanguard EFT

[@CamsCampbell]

Great tips Sanjee. I knew all this about starting early in my 30s when I first started earning and I did start, but ended up pulling everything out to buy my business and my home. I guess those were investments too. Now I'm about to hit 50 and am beginning to get back on top again. Thanks for sharing your mistakes with us!

[@NickKendall]

Great point regarding the emergency fund! Definitely helps you keep from dipping into your compounding investments if you have unexpected expenses.

[@Koston44]

Really nice video. Your communication is so clear and easy to listen to. Very relaxing and calm vibe which i really appreciate.

[@designingthewheel]

@14:26 I thought it would be nice for us to buy you a coffee so that you don't have to withdraw from your investments to cover it. Then, I realised that buying a coffee machine would be a better long-term option. Thanks for your videos, Sanjee!

You've quickly become my favorite financial youtuber Sanjee!

[@Jimmy_Maxwell]

Beaut video Sanjee! I've watched a few of your videos now and I'm finding them really helpful. You're very engaging to listen to and speak really well! Thanks. James, Qld.

$500 trade/parcel size is the minimum initial for ASX shares, doesn’t matter which broker.

[@austinzzz1852]

Great video! I'm exactly in the same mindset; tiny parcels for 10x fun and large for etf for slow and steady, best of both worlds

[@navineesh]

Really good video and great advice. Thanks Sanjee!

Great videos mate! Keep it up

[@1966human]

Good on you bro hopefully this information will help people

[@Dookitydook]

Each month I purchase $500 additional shares of the ETF's I'm invested in, don't even care about the current share price, one month its higher, the next its lower. And when a DRP hits :D

[@Bondisaurus]

Great video for a beginner/simpleton like me.

[@ohtretf]

great content mate.

[@dogetaxes8893]

Am young and looking to invest. I'll obviously make misakes down the track but videos like this help.

[@shazkumars]

Sanjee - you have advocated 4/5 ETFs as the ones to consider. If one can afford 2k a month and say we want to buy in to all 5 ETFS - how would you plan it from a dollar cost averaging? i.e. the time between buying the same ETF could be 4-5 months apart.

[@dmm6671]

Why won t you put 2k: 4 or 5 each month?

[@georgekirui5861]

The best time to plant a tree was 30 years time ago, Second best time to plant a tree is now

[@SanjeeSen]

So true! Thanks for sharing George!

Thanks Hasan!

[@aussiegardener5629]

hi there. i just found your videos. i also did engineering but unfortunately not commerce but i like what you have to say so i will listen to all of your videos. thanks heaps for making these vids!

[@christian8657]

I wish I start when I was 20 however I’ve started now in ETFs at 25 and plan to keep investing consistently

[@ModestMillennial]

@Chris we all wish we started investing in our 20s, but its never too late.. you are still ahead of alot of people. Just buy s&p 500 etfs and keep investing consistently.. let money grow and do the wonders 😀

[@macepollo9989]

Hi Sanjee, Love you videos! You have already helped me A lot. Just question, I’m not asking for financial advice but is investing monthly not a wise decision as in the long term your fees would be high

[@user-by8hn4pg5t]

Hey Sanjee, If I invest in Vanguard EFTs each month will I still be eligible for a 50% tax offset (for individuals) at the end of the year? Would be super helpful if you made a video regarding how taxation works with regards to dividend or capital gains?? thanks and superb video as always

[@DavidSweetnam]

Totally disagree regarding not investing in individual stocks. If you have $100,000 in an Australian ETF, then about 10% of that (more or less) will be in BHP, but if you have $10000 in BHP directly i dont see the problem. Plus you’ll get the full franking benefits, and no capital gain or loss issues until you sell. Also let’s say you have $100,000 in A200, then that’s about $25,000 in the top banks. Add it all up - your investment in an Australian ETF will generally mean you have about half in the big banks and the miners. Is this what people want? Why can’t they sprinkle their money across their favourite companies and do their own weighting?

[@chrisgoss4787]

Great videos mate . Been a great tool him me in recent times . Got a question for u legend . Is it worth having a dividend stock where compounding doesn’t increase the about of units I owe in each payment? Thanks 🙏

[@chewbaccasaw5232]

I think a lot of people don’t realise how much fees and insurances eat away at their super

[@joshwigg9155]

great video

[@ModestMillennial]

Great video Sanjee.. loved the content 👌

[@SanjeeSen]

Glad you liked it!!!

[@fionastobie8945]

So the minimum is $500. What is the average you usually start with?

[@SanjeeSen]

Hi Fiona, yes the minimum most brokers will let you purchase with is $500. When I started I was putting around $1k-$2k per purchase.

[@cb7560]

Thanks very much for another excellent video. Loved the content. Would you ever consider among a video about the pros and cons of LICs vs. ETFs in Australia? I cannot work out the best way to go here. I cannot be the only person in this position.

[@Campbell400]

Hey mate I invest in psychical metals for wealth preservation I'm thinking to do the same in stocks as in throw what i can as a single income family to just hold wealth not build wealth What are your thoughts on this ?

[@weslee6700]

I wish I started years ago! But I started this month, never to late I guess :)!

[@ModestMillennial]

@finance with Wes: its never too late, just keep investing and let the money work for you.. also be consistent in woth dumping the in your investment account 😀

[@weslee6700]

@@ModestMillennial Thats what im planning to do! have a minimal what I want to invest per month and I hope to increase that regulary!

[@ModestMillennial]

@@weslee6700 as soon as you will see the money making money for you, you would want to invest more.. i am 30 now, i started couple years ago with minimum amount and at this point I am very frugal on spending money.. my goal is just to save money... I am sure it will happen to you as well..

DW8 at the back ? 👀👀

[@SanjeeSen]

Haha it's actually DWBH: Don't Worry Be Happy

[@et8893]

Its not the same amount of money. Its the same number but different value. $1000 a month was good money 40 years ago and impossible for a 20 year old to earn back then to be a millionaire now. Just saying. Same number but different value.

[@heaketh]

I have a question for you. What do you invest in?

[@SanjeeSen]

Hi Matthew, great question, mainly ETFs currently.

[@heaketh]

No, I mean the specific names of the ETF'S that have invested in?

[@johnnyblaze373]

Hey Sanjee, i just sold an investment property after reading barefoot investor, I have quite a bunch of cash and want to invest, was thinking and have researched into keeping things simple ie A200, VTS, VEU by evenly splitting my profits into these shares. I know you're not a financial advisor but would you give a thumbs up or thumbs down to this comment?

[@johnnyblaze373]

@Sanjee Sen is this an auto response?
