At first I was like, “wow! So much information” I began to feel overwhelmed. And then I remembered this is my journey, I don’t have to play catch up or prove anything to anyone. I can start simply where I am right now, keep asking my self questions until I get clear on what I want and need and go from there. Ah, whelmed.

[@OurRichJourney]

I LOVE your comment - you are so right! No need to compare - we all have our own journey. AND we certainly didn't learn everything all at once - and we're constantly learning. Like you said, it's a journey - enjoy your journey!!!! :)

@@OurRichJourney Hi. I have enjoyed your videos. I am trying to determine if I need this F.I.R.E. course. I am on my way out from the work force. I am 59 and have put away some stache. I have a pension, a 457 and I also have an emergency fund plus some cash sitting in the bank. I'm interested in building my wealth. I am just not sure where to begin. I am eager to learn how to mulriply my retirement fund that I have. I would appreciate some guidance.

I’m such a noob at all of this. But self isolation has made me look into investing. I’m almost angry at myself for not starting earlier. Watching a ton of your videos 🙏

I can second "Quit Like a Millionaire." If taxes confuse you, I found the tax section in this book to be one of the clearest explanations I have found thus far.

Hi Amon and Christina! I looked through the investment course page and am wondering, how much detail do you go into when explaining how to research what to invest in? I have a general understanding of what order to invest for fire but really am looking for specific information on how to find the best options as far as stock investments. Is the course very specific and actionable or general broad information?

[@rogerrodriguez4279]

Hi my name is Eddie and I just got one question when you decided it was the right time to take out the money can you make a video about it..please thanks

[@questip24]

Hi everyone. I have been very interested in growing wealth and investing the past couple of years. I came from a very low proverty driven community in ny and a single mother who lived off assistance. I have tried hard to surpass the stigma that poverty - produces - provety and feel accomplished, in a sense. NOW into my mid 30s (having my house, 3 kids, and working a ton) I want to be abld to leave a legacy for my family and possibly teach proverty driven communities other ways to prosper down this road. This is my first step to making this stride and appreciate your videos (Amon and Christina). Better to start somewhere then nowhere regardless of circumstances right! Thank you and for any direction others can give in this endeavor is greatly appreciated.
