I'm doing the opposite. I had started at 22 but I give myself permission to save a lot of money for extra financial security in the short term versus investing it for the long term. So my thinking is starting young gives me the privilege to not invest as much, and therefore I do not feel guilty for putting so much of what could be invested into a savings account. Congrats on your accomplishment for making up for lost time, that is incredibly difficult and challenging and you should be proud.

No mortgage increases cash flow. Immediate increase in cash flow gives you OPTIONS at a younger stage in life. Those options often lead to chasing a dream career and those dream careers can potentially turn into 7 figure incomes.

Great content. I think plenty of us violate the baby steps order or FOO by funding retirements before debt free and fully funded emergency fund. It’s much easier for money to disappear into a 401K that you never see than sit on 40k cash. It might not be ideal mathematically but paying off a low interest mortgage faster when the same money would have earned you more in the long run doesn’t either.

[@graphite718]

In regards to repair costs, "luxury" cars only differ from a "normal" car if you pay someone else to maintain them. I got quoted over $400 for an oil change at Porsche. I was able to do the oil change myself for $50. I've done oil changes on relative's "normal" cars and they're all just about $50. You'd be surprised how much you save if you just do things yourself.

For the paying off your house early question, in my case we bought our home in Oct 2022, 5.375% 30 year mortgage. Came here from Ramsey solutions. We've been paying big chunks of principal only payments. Thus far in these 10 months we have wiped out around 190K in would be interest. 190K saved almost instantaneously without having to ride the market for a long time, for me that brings me peace of mind. We are still investing the 15% towards retirement.

[@maretteboyle2549]

I had two used Audis that I owned in the past- both were phenomenal vehicles and needed minimal work- and when they did they were under warranty, or easily fixable at my local mechanic. Not to mention the oil changes were more expensive, but that's because they use synthetic oil- which lasts almost twice as long between oil changes. Meanwhile the Jeep I owned previously was insanely expensive- only fixable at the dealer and a pain in the ass. I dated someone whose family was very involved in the automotive industry- specifically transmissions- and he told me never to buy a BMW or Range Rover, specifically for the reasons you mentioned.... just my hot take.

The saving factor on Rolex watches and frequently purchased by actual well-to-do people. is the fact the right models do hold their value and can increase in value over time.

To be optimal, you do the steps sequentially, one at a time. Only once step 1 is satisfied do you move on to step 2, and only once step 2 is satisfied do you move to step 3. That being said, being mathematically optimal is only one part of personal finance, so if you want to deviate a bit around the edges, it's not the end of the world. But the closer you stick, the closer to optimal you'll be (using their assumptions at any rate).

Would the guys consider Lexus a luxury brand? I have a 2014 IS 350 and I expect my next car to be of equivalent quality/value. Would a used $50k Ford EV be considered luxury? Love the episode guys!

[@Alan-jk1yi]

They've called Lexus luxury in the past, and Lexus explicitly markets themselves as luxury. But it's really dependent on your income. If we follow their rules, I'd personally classify anything that falls significantly outside of their 20/3/8 rule as luxury, regardless of what the vehicle itself actually is. It's all about affordability. If your income is high enough that a $50k car fits their 20/3/8 rule, then it's not luxury, at least from a financial standpoint. Conversely, even a fairly basic $30k Toyota might be considered "luxury" for someone with a lower income because it breaks the 20/3/8 rule.

That depends on a number of things, with how much you think you'll need in retirement being the most important. With that number, there are a lot of potential strategies based on how much you have in each of the tax buckets, it's really just a matter of taking the money out in in the proper order to minimize the taxes. But it's kind of impossible to plan out without knowing how much you have, how much you will need, and which tax buckets the money is in.

From a financial standpoint, I'd classify anything that falls significantly outside their 20/3/8 rules as luxury, regardless of what the actual vehicle is.

[@Alan-jk1yi]

@@guhbe385 When ever they've been asked about what counts as "luxury" they always kind of dance around what brands fall into that category, but they always come back to the price, which from a financial standpoint, is what matters. The brand label is irrelevant, it's all about affordability, which varies widely from person to person. Leasing is kind of a different beast. Leasing breaks their 20/3/8 rule right out of the gate, since the rule assumes you'll own the car at the end of those three years. A $35k lease is not equivalent to a $35k loan; one ends with you owning a car, the other does not. So I'd argue basically ALL leasing is luxury.

As someone who has owned a BMW 3 series for the last 9 years what rubbish car is the wife's car. I bought used, use an independent mechanic and have none of the parts issues he says. Now on the other hand a Friend had an Audi and the thing was a money pit.

You got lucky. Had a 2003 M3 and it was fine most of the time, but when it had issues they costed a lot! Had it for about 12k miles. Spent about $4k and the car only had 45k miles when I got it. Tires were $1k, scheduled maintenance was $1700, trunk latch was $250, piece of plastic smaller than my hand was $70, a few gas light warnings, belt, premium gas(not maintenance). Probably forgetting a few things. It gets expensive fast.

Impressive maxing out a 401k, but under the income threshold for funding the roth ira

[@ff5973]

Actually more like $15k and up for a new Rolex.

If you want to buy a luxury car you're going to need a normal car as a daily driver

STAY AWAY FROM MLM INSURANCE WORK!!! It's all just RECRUIT! RECRUIT! RECRUIT! You'll never develop the knowledge and skills of a REAL fiduciary. You become a salesperson, not giving quality financial advice but selling financial products with outrageous fees... telling all these traumatic stories to convince people to buy or join. All you end up doing is annoying family and friends.

You know, it finally clicked for me. It’s not that everyone wears or wants the nicest things to impress others, it’s because they want to live a full life and enjoy the things in it. By saving so much that you drain your consumption to wear it’s as if your life force is being drained as well so that your money can work seems so tiresome. It actually makes perfect sense that people who look normal or even right below normal are rich because they are draining away their own being and putting it into an investment account for later. Hopefully that “later” pays off. I would suggest saving enough to live comfortably and not extravagantly if it costs you wearing super cheap clothes and only purchasing cheap things your whole life.
