QUIT MY $250,000 JOB after learning THIS about money

[@MasonRussell348]

It is advisable to save at least 15% of your income in a 401(k). Online calculators can help you estimate the appropriate savings amount based on your age and income. By saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k), you can work towards a comfortable retirement. This strategy allows you to benefit from compound interest, potentially growing your retirement savings significantly over time.

[@LukasMeyer476]

Rising prices have affected my intention of quitting my part-time, and building my savings. I'm worried about whether individuals who weathered the 2008 financial crisis found it less challenging than my current situation. The stock market's volatility, coupled with a reduced income, is making me anxious about having enough for retirement.

[@AshleySommerset808]

This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform.

Okay, story time. This wasn't about making money, but making decisions which degree would I like to have. In my family, they really glamourize or glorify if their child is in a medical or nursing school. Since I came from Asian family, comparing cannot be stop. I was really pressured if I should really pursue nursing even I don't really like it. Since there was so much pressure and they hurrying me up to decide, I just decided to go for nursing. At first, nursing is fine since I really love Chemistry. But in the middle, I knew that my decision was very wrong. I shouldn't have pursue the degree, because I don't really like it. Since I really fear regrets for my future self, I decided to drop myself out of nursing while it's early and decided to shift to the degree what I really want. Although it's risky to change, but at least I've made a decision that I least regret. That's why I really agree that people should really fear regrets. Time is gold. Time is our biggest asset. The chances of taking risks gets lower as we age so take chances, take risks while you're young.

To be honest I don't think there's anything wrong in being part of someone else's plan, as long as you're aware of it and you've made that decision on your own

[@invictuz4803]

What's so bad about having no plan?

[@pasticherecords]

Wow. I envy your honesty and your courage. I am proud of your story.

[@TheJackCain-84]

We read news in the media that doom and gloom is coming and we just accept it, doom and gloom doesn’t always have to be coming, I’ve read numerous success stories of people that are pulling off tremendous gains of up to $250K within weeks in this crazy market and I just want to learn how to achieve such figures.

[@Syndiewndell]

Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.

[@martingiavarini]

There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.

[@Jamessmith-12]

Exactly why i enjoy market decisions being guided by a pro , seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk management and market experience , been using a portfolio-coach for over 2years+ and I've netted over $3million in that time frame.

Sorry to hear about your grandfather. I’m sorry you missed those last hours. Thank you for sharing such a personal story. It was very brave of you to be so authentic and real. You learned a powerful life lesson. You are more powerful than the people you left behind trapped and dying in their gilded corporate prison. I hope the money is truly worth it for them. You have saved your soul and the best years of your life while you’re still young. You kept to your values. I believe your grandfather would be so proud of you today. I wish you the very best in life.

Her story is another example of why I hate when people say rich and successful people "just got lucky."

[@gojump7]

$250k sounded like a large annual salary, until you said that it meant 100+ hours per week.

[@OrganicFreedom]

I felt the same way. Even Working for 40 hrs a week for $60k used to make me feel trapped.

[@midnull6009]

...100+ hrs a week??? Hell no...omfg!!! so most all of that 250k is ot money.

[@mg-by7uu]

Not to mention the government takes about 65-75% of that in income tax and social security

[@eksine]

@@mg-by7uu 65% is ridiculously exaggerating

[@drdwgmd14]

Ahh thats the catch. Wow. If 40-50 hrs, thatd be better.

[@PhilipMurray251]

These are very valuable info for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $109k now to put in the market.

[@Natalieneptune469]

Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.

[@tradekings5433]

Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

[@PhilipMurray251]

Mind if I ask you to recommend how to reach this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out unlike the rest of us.

[@tradekings5433]

Cant reveal much info, Kate Elizabeth Amdall is the shrewd advisor responsible for my portfolio success, it's only right you look her up and confirm yourself.

[@PhilipMurray251]

I just checked her out and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.

[@richiekock8835]

I worked for 2 Big 5 accountancy companies 20+ years ago as a tax lawyer. In short: horrible experience! 3 out of 5 of my room mates were burned out or were on medical leave and I remember saying goodbye to someone leaving the company almost on a weekly basis. Toxic, horrible work environment. But when you are young (20's/ 30's) you think that you have to "sell" yourself to get ahead, which is not true at all. Currently, I have my own small law firm. I help people, and I am appreciated. And I make enough money to buy my first home.

"I fear regret more than I fear failure" - this is the true path to finding fulfilment. Success is inevitable if you keep working and learning from your failures. But lost time is lost forever. You are so brave and inspiring! Wish you the very best ❤️

[@Erika2]

Well said! Thank you so much!

[@siul6146]

Not really you shouldn't fear anything since you should act so you don't leave regrets and failure is just a process to success no one can achieve success without failures along the way but no one talks about the failures usually only the achievements and success. That is why having your own job is the best, since working for someone means they own you for that amount of time to do a certain task. In reality we haven't changed from the slave system, it is a system with make up so people can't tell they are just slaves to it.

[@RojoFrijol]

Regret is an awful thing

[@sppsports2449]

For those of us in the legal world, this woman is a gem. Seriously. It's hard to explain what's she's been through without seeing it first hand, but this woman has worked countless hours to achieve a dream then had the balls to quit that job and pursue her own path. May her Grandfather Rest in Peace, I'm sure he's proud of her. And may she live in regret no longer.

[@sunsoulco]

My grandmother passed away and I missed out on the last few hours with her because of work... I empathize so much. Thank you for having the courage to share this. It helps me with my regret too. Your story is priceless to me 💞

[@timothyoherlihy5391]

You said it perfectly :as a lawyer who has been lucky enough to work laterally from the profession I can so appreciate this lady's sentiments. Lawyers tragically are slaves not to money but to status. Just tell any fellow lawyer 'if I had a chance to work for double the. Money as a bin man I would happily do so and watch their face'. I deploy this statement and instantly discover so much. The longer one stays in lawyer the more disappointed and regretful kindred spirits one meets.

Folks, it's an elitist attitude to think that only lawyers trade their time for money. That has become the "American dream" - the small business owner is rare. The majority of us work for corporations where we're just a number and if we don't like the 'abuse' well, don't let the door hit you in the a** on your way out.

Erika, Great story. I also have a son who was in Big Law in DC.

I know that most immigrant Asian parents push their kids to succeed at all cost but as an immigrant parent myself I can say that there is nothing more important than health and happiness for your kids.
