Always been a broke guy, two years ago I just started saving and saving. Right now I’m close to reaching 30k that’s a big milestone for me. Better late then never.

[@kaitlyncranwick]

The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.

Investing in both real estate and stocks can be prudent choices, particularly when backed by a robust trading strategy that can navigate you through prosperous periods.You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.

[@maryHenokNft]

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over $745k working with an investment coach for more than two years.

After working at gas stations for few years, I bought my first property at the age of 19. I planned out everything. I thought I was going to be a millionaire soon. The following year (in 2007), the real estate got crashed and crushed me. 😂🤯 my property value went from 140k to 40k. While most of the people went through foreclosures, I managed to keep it by renting out my other room and then when it got so bad, I ended up renting out my living room too. $hit happens but the show must go on. In 2013 I bought another small property. Then in 2016, I bought another property. I only have a 2 year college degree. One of my goals were to take a mini retirement vacation. So I took two years off completely from work. Now I’m back to work. Am I rich? Hell no. Lol … but I enjoyed my life journey.

The decision to invest is an acknowledgement that it comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk, there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.

To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal.

[@klaustkessel]

"Money is a representation of frozen time." Then you buy stuff with that money. Then you're house is full of stuff you don't want. 😄

[@Brian-3000]

Money is just the transfer of “value.” I don’t fully associate money with time because you’ll never get said time back that you exchanged for money. However, you can exchange that money for experiences, food, clothes, and to help others (happiness/fulfillment.) So money can unlock freedom and doors to your point, but money really is just a form to capture value (and in terms of a job it’s the salary that quantifies your skills & experiences) so saving that value and growing it long term makes sense but you can’t discount the fact that you’re foregoing current / short term experiences in the process. Which is invaluable and really dependent on your financial / personal goals in life.

[@madman3891]

"I don’t fully associate money with time because you’ll never get said time back that you exchanged for money." Well its a far more efficient use of your time then attempting to produce everything yourself. " you can’t discount the fact that you’re foregoing current / short term experiences in the process" That's obvious but I don't see why that's important, in a sense you trade time for time which is necessary for average living comfort. Unless you plan on living as a monk with no connection to civilization.

[@myfinancialclimb3121]

I'm not sure how to say I've saved, because all of mine aren't completely liquid. So it's hard to know if that's technically "saved" or just "invested". If we don't care about differentiating, then I'd say it took me slightly over 2 years to go from 8k to 100k. Debt was the only thing slowing me down, but I was able to pay that down and imvest/save at the same time. I'm REALLY hungry and motivated and believe/hope that I can be at my first million in 7 years from now.

[@stephgonzalesc]

Wow, how did you do it so fast?!

[@myfinancialclimb3121]

@@stephgonzalesc Well, there are several contributing factors. The biggest one is probably savings rate though. My salary during the time, on average, has been around 59k, which is right around the average US income. However, my spending has only been around 23k a year. Very lean. So, I've saved very aggressively, as much as I can. I've contributed to my job's Roth 401k and just started maxing it out 8 months ago. They give me 5% when I put in 10%. That helps. I opened a Roth IRA towards the end of last year, maxed it out and have already maxed it out for this year. Crypto has played a small roll as well, but it's not like I had added a ton or took some crazy risk on some new coin. I only put in 5,500 total into a mix of ETH and XLM. I've made a 250% return on that so far. And lastly, I've busted my butt with my side hustle. I've been doing it for a little over 2 years now, but I STILL haven't paid myself yet. All money is being invested back into it, so my growrh can be aggressive. Next month I calculated I should probably be able to start paying myself 2,500 a month through it, which will start to put me over that 100k edge in just over that 2 year mark from when I started saving aggressively. This was rather long, but I hope this answer satisfied you. I'm personally trying to document my growth here on KZbin, to show people how I'm doing it, along the way. I'm not very good with my scheduling (😅), but I wanted to get a start last year, because I feel like it will be more interesting to show me when I first started out. It wouldn't be as interesting, I feel, if in 6-8 years or so, I start documenting, but I'm already at that 1 million mark, with no real context or body behind it.

For anyone struggling to save money, force yourself to do it. Set up automatic deposits to a savings account. Take what your current paycheck is, subtract a significant (but reasonable) amount, like say $200-500, and force yourself to live off your "new" paycheck. It's amazing how you'll learn to adapt, and it will force you to sit down and really prioritize what expenses are really worth it and which ones aren't.

You know the thing that makes it difficult for me to save is that I wait 2+ weeks to get paid from my job, then when I finally do, I have all of these bills to pay at once. Then with my extra money I feel more tempted to spend money on things because I waited so long to get paid and the idea of doing nothing but sitting in my home just to wait two more weeks to get paid to then pay my bills then sit at home and do nothing.. and have that repeat forever doesn’t sound as appealing. If anyone has suggestions I’m really open for it because I do truly want to be better at spending/saving money

[@NomadJRG]

Try getting paid once a month, that's the norm in the UK. Best advice I have is find things that occupy your time that either make you more money (sidehustles or learning to get you a promotion at work) or don't cost you much money. For example I work 5 days a week and then in the evenings I spend most of my time in my home gym then cook and maybe play a video game and the day is done. Repeat x5 and then you can do more what you want at the weekend but keep on top of spending. Depends what you like to do, I enjoy walking, exercise and visiting friends and family (all pretty inexpensive).

I appreciate you Philip!

[@Kin-my5fb]

Glad I encountered this video. Started off the year strong with saving $. A few unexpected expenses recently set me back, then I began to splurge a bit. I’ve got to get back on point!

[@ivanontech1999]

The best way to find that balance between saving and living is by investing, This way you get to have your savings intact and then live comfortably off the revenue coming in from your investment.

[@amiraomar1927]

This is more like putting your savings in an investment company rather then the bank, hmm really ideal i think because you'd earn a better revenue than the annual interest value you could get while saving in the bank. WOW! this is really an eye opener, could you recommend an IA please? I would really appreciate that. Thanks so much for this.

I look at each milestone as another race against the hedonic treadmill. I am sure that as I look beyond FI I will continue to set certain goals. I get inspired by cases of FI in videos like this. Quite honestly knowing that I can afford to support myself without a job offers all the peace of mind and motivation to pursue it. Perhaps after, it will become the excuse of why I should upgrade my living standards, knowing that what has been and continues to be invested can grow and build over time to support it.

[@breffnyoreilly817]

Feel like I am watching a documentary the quality is so good. I love how you take your time when you speak, makes me relax into the video so much more.

[@FrugalBC]

Great video. To contrast, I was pretty thrilled to hit six figures - but the feeling was fleeting. After hitting the first $100k I relaxed a bit and am enjoying life (though I am naturally frugal). Interesting to find this video because now I’m at the nexus of quitting to focus on growing my side hustles into full businesses. Was there a tipping point for you in terms of income or did you just dive in?

[@patrikjericha]

I have been trying hard for the past 2 years to have my 100k invested and saved... it is hard, mentally challenging, and i sometimes feel desperate about it. That I wont be able to reach the goal anytime soon. All I'm hoping for is that those are just feelings...

[@az5129]

when i got out of school, i never understood how to save up for financial freedom. I never thought about it, and I was broke trying to figure out life out of school. 10 years passed, and I unknowingly saved up $100k. Half of which is currently in a savings account (probably could use some rethinking as the yield is low), and other half is for 3 things. They are emergency situations, paying daily/month needs, and most recently(~1 month ago) my dividend brokerage account. I still feel broke even with my first milestone of financial freedom.

[@lathan7360]

At 10k need 90k to go, thx bro for the inspiration from your journey

[@henry3397]

It’s about 10x’ing every time. I’ve hit $10,000, now I want to 10x to $100K club. After that… a millionaire. Everything inbetween is just a step

[@gabrieltheberge4918]

I don't know how you haven't reach 100k yet this channel is so gold!!

[@Zaerki]

Thanks Steve. Lately, the market pullback on growth has really been bringing me down, and this was the exact message I needed.

[@prolaxbro4474]

Great video. I have the same goal as u did! I just started tracking my purchases. I spend sooo much but I have 14k saved so I think I got this.

[@lauraantonioni3842]

Your message totally resonates. Even with those of us getting close to retirement. It reinforces that money is the what that enables the why.

Great job dude! Hopefully I will be at 100k in the near future.

I'm 26...I'm halfway there. Aiming for 100k at 28 (january 2024). Going to be a crazy ride but I think it's not impossible.

[@iftak01]

I had 100k way before I knew it as my saving went to my parents and they made good tax free savings and such lol

[@cat-np1kv]

You're my new favorite youttube creator, I align so much with your attitude towards wealth and money. Coming from a family with very negative relationships with money, I needed to re educate myself and you're helping with that!!! Also the filmmaking quality of your videos is top notch

[@THU350]

i forgot to ask, when you save 100000, does that include mostly retirement like 401k or is it liquid like stocks?

[@DavidEVogel]

Accumulating the first $100k took me 15 years. The second $100k an additional 8 years. Each additional $100k takes less time. Compounded growth is a winner!

[@thebritishinvestor.1018]

Hey, great videos! You are really talented. I need to aspire to this. Nice work. I just have a couple of questions, how long do your videos take to edit? Which software do you use?

[@MegaOfficeHours]

Your quote about true happiness at the end of your video will resonate with me forever.

An interesting comparison, but I think a closer comparison would be condensed energy over time.

A beautiful man with a beautiful voice in a beautiful apartment. Such positive energy in this video. I have to take time off sometimes (like the past 3 months) from financetube as I get too frustrated! Not watching my money too carefully and just checking in on it every so often is the best way for me too!

7:15 "I've been toying with the idea of money being a represention of frozen time." I mean this is the nicest way possible. This is the most pretentious explanation of money that I've ever heard.
