If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

[@mariaguerrero08]

The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.

[@ThomasChai05]

Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.

[@mikegarvey17]

There are many independent advisors to choose from. But I work with *Izella Annette Anderson* and we've been working together for almost four years and she's fantastic. You could pursue her if she meets your requirements. I agree with her.

I think the next big thing will be A.I. For enduring growth akin to META, it's vital to avoid impulsive decisions driven by short-term fluctuations. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.

[@annaj.osorio]

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors 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.

Increasing tax rates are the reason I rolled over my 401k to a Roth. I don’t want to be 59 paying taxes on current income on withdrawals made from my retirement account. I'm now seeking best possible areas or strategy to keep my retirement contributions on track to my $5m goal.

[@carolynrose1816]

Pre-tax contributions may help reduce income taxes in your pre-retirement years while after-tax contributions may help reduce your income tax burden during retirement.

[@Dollrnri]

Both have their perks but you can also save for retirement outside of a retirement plan, such as in an individual investment account or employing the services of a retirement planner/advisor.

[@AddilynTuffin]

Great advice here. Keep it simple, buy things you understand, take some risk but don't try to shoot the lights out. I currently have 75% SCHD and 25% ROTH IRA.

It's good you teach and stress the power of utilizing compound interest: "$1 now is 88 dollars (starting at 20 and retire at 65 with a 10% annualized return rate). Looking at the opportunity cost of time, delaying 10 years to invest that $1 to get the same $88 would now require approximately $2.70.

[@leftysidewinder]

Not really... After accounting for inflation, taxes, permanent investment losses along the way, and loss of time to use the capital, the present value of the delusional $88 that has about $23 of taxes that must to be paid is about $1 in present value.

When you say, “Net Worth,” do you mean household net worth or individual net worth.

The fundamentals of getting to $100K is sound but those figures and timelines have got to change. $1mil in today's dollars is great but if it takes you 30+ years to get to $1mil, you are doing better than most but still won't be comfortable. Max out those investments when you are young.

@DS_5298 natural log of 2 with a base of (1+(fixed interest rate%/100)). Thus a 3.5% interest rate takes 20.14 years instead of the imprecise 20.57 years you get using the boomer equation. Edit if you want to know how long to grow to 3x, replace the 2 with a 3.

Are those % (e.g. 21% 500k+) per an individual or per household?

[@thefrozengoat]

i have the same question

[@johannsigursson5319]

When we say 25% of gross to retirement, do we include employer match in that math or do we ignore that? If we already have real estate, we are ignoring home equity in net worth right, not counting the mortgage as a debt and ignoring the home value?

[@circrna]

You should count your debt. It is debt. Subtract it from your net worth. My opinion. I am not expert.

[@johannsigursson5319]

@@circrna if I recall correctly, the video was saying to ignore your real estate when determining net worth but talked about mortgage when listing debts. So if you have 50k equity on a house but 200k mortgage left, no other assets except 10k cash, is your net worth 10k, 60k, - 140k or - 190k?

We are 32 and investments in retirement, brokerage, HSA are right about at 200K. Savings rate 25%. Our only non-mortgage debt is 18K federal student loan at 4.5%. At what age do they say that 4.5% is considered (high interest)?

[@sd0753]

Congrats. You are way ahead of just about everyone at your age. At your age debt with 7% or more interest is high interest. You subtract 1% for each new decade, so that 7% becomes 6% in your 40s and 5% in your 50s.

[@diligentDawg99]

I'm a bit confused by how you talk about net worth outside of equity in home. Does that also not include the mortgage balance then? It seems like they are talking more about wealth invested vs. net worth. Also, since I've only been out of school for 2 years and have a high income, it's a bit weird to think my net worth is a 6 digit negative number, even though I'm more than half way to 100k in retirement accounts, due to student loans. Due to high income and a great match, I kind of feel like I'm out of order in the FOO because I'm investing so much while working through step 3 of the FOO (Some Student loans are as high as 9.2%APR). Also, knowing that it will take quite a while (~7-10 years) to get out of step 3, I've also put aside 3 months emergency fund (so skipped to step 4). What things might I want to think about in slightly breaking the FOO?

[@Lucky008aau]

Net Worth is all Assets (home, cars, expensive possessions, and investments) minus all Liabilities (current balances of home mortgage, car loan, credit card debts, student loans, etc). Throughout this video, they are saying to ignore the net value of your home (so pull out home value and amount of mortgage). Most cars lose value as you pay them off (and any equity in a car goes towards the next car) so they aren't considering that here either. What's left is invested assets and your debts besides your home mortgage. Rental properties and their debts would be included. Getting the employer match is step two. High interest debt is step 3. The only out of order part is the 3 months of expenses. Optimally you would put that toward your student loans, but if you need that cash to sleep at night, don't do it. It sounds like you're doing great, keep it up.

[@sd0753]

This show is a simplified explanation. They took the house portion out because there are a lot of people that have maybe 200k in a retirement account but live in a house they bought in the 60s and 70s for cheap and now is worth $1mil. Their net worth is over a million but they can't access it since nearly all of it is tied up in the house.

[@heidiortiz9352]

The key for a high income is don’t inflate your lifestyle, until you get the 9% student loans paid off. That interest rate is high enough that you need to get it paid off promptly

Can someone explain what is the parent match on a custodial Roth IRA? They have mentioned it on many episodes (albeit not today). Everything I read still says the contribution maximum is lesser of dollar limit ($7k this year) or the child's earned income. So how can I put matching dollars in?

[@Kornheiser10]

It's not a formal match that is part of custodial Roth rules. What Brian does to inspire his kid to save, he (as I do) agree to match what the child puts in. It cannot exceed what the child makes, so if the child made $5,000 over the summer, the total cannot exceed $5k, so it could be $2,500 from kid and you match another $2,500. Also, you can't have kid put in $5k and you match $5k, as that exceeds the yearly Roth contribution amts.

[@BenFranklin1776]

@@Kornheiser10 Thank you. Sort of the same idea as what he describes for a first car, making the child pay half. So this still lets the kid enjoy half of their earned money, while maximizing the custodial Roth.

[@Kornheiser10]

@BenFranklin1776 yes, and gives them incentive. Just don't want to go over what they made, so the kid that made $2k can't put in 4k with parent's help.

[@thedude5040]

The $1.7MM is when you use an advisor your entire life. The money guys actually recommend you not needing an advisor, if you are competent, until you are older with more money than you can manage. This means you will be older, with less time, meaning you will not be spending anywhere near $1.7MM

I think you're referring to them comparing the first $500k to the last $500k. They're not talking about going from $0-500k and then $500k-1M. That last $500k is 3 years 7 months from retirement, at which point you have ~$1.4M and get to ~$1.9M in 3 years 7 months at 65.

[@glasshalffull2930]

You misunderstood what they said. Twenty years at 8% to get to the first $500K and then ‘when you’re older ‘ your portfolio will be so large that it will only take 4.7 years to add the last $500K. They left out the middle years where you already hit $1 million at 7.6 years after hitting the first 500K.
