Another excellent video Erin. You hit it on the head when you said an important factor in building up your net worth is to avoid lifestyle creep. I have seen too many people who constantly spent as much as they earn. Every raise or bonus went to new toys. I found that the key to my success was to never allow myself to get used to the added income. I made a point of saving almost all of my raises and bonuses. Keeping your spending in check is the key to creating a significant net worth.

This was a very good video and discussion Erin! I agree with your comments, especially those in the last 3-4 minutes. Unfortunately, the younger folks seem to be too distracted with living, wanting to get ahead and have more things, to take this as serious as they should IMO. Saving doesn't come naturally to people, they have to be taught and learn these lessons. As their income increases, their spending increases more than their savings rate. Livestyle creep is a real issue for the younger age groups IMO. You certainly got started on your serious investment journey at a great time and I imagine you are very thankful for the timing 😉.

Now we're starting to use our investments, and one strategy we have is 2 years of living expenses in cash (HYSA), just in case when we need it we're in a "bad luck" market. That insulates us from having to pull funds from our investments at the wrong time.

I max out (plus the +55 add-on) my 403(b) and HSA, plus an additional amount to a TIAA ATRA, or 'After-tax Retirement Annuity'. It comes out to almost 50% of my gross income. I wish I could have done that earlier, but I'm still in great shape. The information on this channel is so critical to that kind of success. I hope the people who really need to learn it see it. It seems like most of us commenters already have learned Erin's lessons. My income is not high, especially as I live in an expensive city; I'm at about the US median, but my savings put me in the 80th percentile. I am subject to the psychological effects of 'lifestyle creep' just like the next person, and I am fortunate enough, and still healthy enough, to pay for these modest indulgences with a little extra work on the side. In other words, I am inclined to pay for that 'creep' not through increases in pay, but gains in savings. I don't yield to the desire to crack open that vault, I just take on a little bit extra where possible.

This is the best formula I've seen to increase your net worth: 1. Pay off all of your debt. Frees up money to invest. Just don't take this extra money and blow it every month. 2. Continue to up the amount that you put into your 401k until you are maxing it out every year. You won't miss the money if you never see it, and the rate at which your balance grows will astonish you. 3. Max out your Roth IRA contributions every year. Invest that money and you get to keep all the gains tax free money at 59 and a half. 4. Invest as much as you can into a taxable brokerage account. Whether that is mutual funds, ETF's, or dividend king stocks and watch it grow (hopefully) over time.

2. Should be company match 3. Is then max Roth 4. See if you can max 401k. Even then a brokerage seems better than a 401k imo, at least a tax differed traditional 401k. Paying long term cap gains > paying income tax on your entire account

Just as there is the whole thing of "timing the market vs time in the market", there is a another thing of "income vs time at an income". One of my older neighbors is a bit kermudgenly and complains about people who can't survive at $40k in out area, because they retired at an income closer to $50k. And it's like... Dude, you had a 40k+ income for 30+ years when everything was waaaay cheaper than it is today. The young couple down the street is dealing with a lot more costs, a lot more school debt, raising a kid, buying a house, and until recently we're only making $30k/yr because neither of them were on a career track yet. I mean, they are doing just fine for 2 kids in their 20s figuring life out, and it's absolutely a struggle, but they are making the steps needed to fix it. Can't compare incomes 50 years apart at wildly different stages of life and different costs of living. Or it's like my grandma who would complain about kids these days not being able to make it on $40k/yr when she was making life work easily as a single mom making $40k/yr. It's like... Damn grandma, don't you understand that adjusted for inflation you were a secretary making what today is $150k/yr!? My wife and I combined don't make $150k/yr and do a lot harder work than being glorified eye candy who answers the phone lol. It's just not a fair comparison. Our own household income plateaued at $50-55k/yr for a long time before we got enough certs and experience under our belts to get in real careers, and my income jumped from $40k to $85k in about 7 years. But it wasn't until year 3-4 st an income of $80k+ where I actually felt like I was making $80k money in an area where average individual income is $35k. It takes time for debts to be paid down, investments catch up, and things slowly get replaced before you actually feel like your lifestyle matches your income. It takes time for old stuff to be replaced, old habits and scarcity thinking to subside, and responsibilities paid for before you actually get to enjoy it... Unless you just put it all on credit cards and financing to instantly step into that life... Buts that's dumb. Hopefully nobody here doing that.

Save and invest is for employees. The game is a bit different for a business owner. Income is what you take out of the business (and pay tax on) and net worth is what you leave in the business. It makes no sense to take a big salary and pay a big whack of tax when you can just leave the money in the company and let it grow there. The increase in business assets are unrealized capital gains that can be spent in the same way as income at some future date either by selling a portion of the company or by taking loans secured by business assets.

No definition of income ... Being retired our income is mostly unrealized capital gains. Every year we save many multiples of our income - taken from our tax return. In fact, by the time we were 50, our investments provided more income than our earned income. In the long term - 30 years or more, one can expect 10% annualized return on S&P 500 investments. To suggest that the 10%+ annualized return from investing in 2008 or 2010 is bad luck is to ignore the facts about investing. Most people invest every year. And they take money out over time. In doing so they get the long term return of their specific investment. Contrary to popular belief investing in 2008, 2009, or 2010 and taking money out at the market low in October 2022 was a good investment.

I don't know the details of how the study measured income, but there is the possibility that some of the allegedly lower income older people were in reality just "poor on paper." In other words, they learned strategies to make it appear they had a lower income than they really did for taxation purposes. The older people could also be low income because they don't need to withdraw a lot of money from their portfolios due to being debt free (including mortgage) and not wanting to spend a lot of money on things. There are quite a few older people out there who have a large nest egg but live frugally because they have lived frugally their entire lives and can't break the habit in retirement. They could also be afraid to withdraw money from their nest egg due to fear of running out of money before they die or because they want to leave a substantial inheritance or charitable donation when they die.

I consider myself someone with a high net worth compared to my income. I make the average US income, and most of my life I’ve had an income below the national average. For me the best way to boost your net worth is to own a home (one that you can truly afford), and to consistently pay yourself first with paycheck deductions into retirement accounts and live within your means with what is leftover. After nearly 30-years of investing I crested the million-dollar net worth wall, and the majority of my net worth is in investments and not my home. My only major mistake is that most of my investments are locked in tax deferred IRA’s, which I did on purpose so I wouldn’t be tempted to raid my retirement accounts, but that left me with a shortfall of easily accessible funds for emergencies. I have been slowly building back up my emergency fund after I depleted it for a new roof.

You can't do that, if you have a low income.Even if you save, that won't build wealth, as you need the money to cover unexpected expenses ( the car breaks down, you need a new washing maschine, there's a medical problem). Most people can't afford life any more.

I'd like to share something funny. I was playing around with an online investment calculator today and I was shocked by how much money I could earn by the time I hit 65. It took me several minutes to realize that I had wrongly entered a contribution rate of $30,000 per MONTH -- rather than my intended $30,000 per YEAR. OOPS! LOL!!!!

I live in Vietnam and I only earn $38,000 but my expenses are so low here that I am able to save $1500-$1700 per month which I throw into my investments. It's so great to be able to live in a place where I can eat out every day, only pay $400 in rent, and still have plenty of savings despite having such a "low" salary. I am in the top 5% of the society here with my salary. I can't justify living in an overpriced society like the US. I feel bad for everyone there. I can get the same quality of life here - probably better -- for a third of the cost.

Only problem is that it's all relative to how much you can earn in an area and how much everything costs.. Most people in US would rather live in the US just because it has the best quality of life and you can travel to any climate zone with little resistance, it's just a matter of if you can afford to live in the more desirable climate zones.

Have you lived in the US? Don’t feel bad for everyone here, because it’s actually a great place to live. Note: I have lived on both Asia and US.

@@Lolatyou332 "you can travel to any climate zone with little resistance" That assumes that people want to do that or even if they want to that they will do that. Most people get caught up in the day to day and miss out on the world that is literally a 15 minute drive away.

Super saver status would be defined by what most people do. If most people only save 5% then someone saving 10% or more would be considered a super saving

Is it really important to compare people based on savings? Like I don't worry about what others do because our goals, time, expenses etc. are all different so the precent they and I save should be different given those factors.....
