How I've Saved Over $100,000 By Age 27 - When Will I Hit $1 Million?

This was an exciting update to share! 🥹 I want to know your thoughts on this topic + what your current ‘net worth’ goal is - let us know in the comments!

The first $100k is the hardest. Your money will make money, the second 100k you may only have to earn 90-95k next time and some from interest. Congrats on your savings account

[@sher3808]

Hi Steph and Den! I'm 33 now but still feel like I never left my late 20s. 😂 I hit a milestone of $300k this year from 0 in 2019. I'm proud of what I accomplished yet can't help but feel that age really puts that pressure up and that I still pale in comparison to others. I was part of the tech layoffs middle of last year too and probably going back to my home country at the end of the year to make time for my elderly dad with Parkinsons. I don't know what the future holds but I'm at that stage where life doesn't revolve around making money as much and how to live a fuller life after years of frugality, aggressive work ethic and investing. That is to say--I'm older now but I still don't know what I'm doing. 😂

[@stephandden]

That’s amazing - congratulations! 🥳 I feel you - it’s still so easy to compare no matter what milestone you hit. I love that you’ve built up a cushion that lets you make decisions like that - I hope that you’re able to spend a lot of nice time with the your dad!

People say that your first $100,000 is the hardest. No way, for me that was easy. I started investing at age 27 and made my first $100,000 in only three years. My first million came after 24 years when I was 51. From there, the second and third million got much easier through compounding.

[@bloody_tungsten1382]

What did you invest in ?

[@pinar8735]

I'm 27 and I definitely feel this. Now I already have a child, but I want to change my career by going back to school, but trying to do it without it effecting my savings goals. It may take me 2 years before I reach my big financial milestones, but I am looking forward to it. Congrats with reaching $100,000.

[@stephandden]

I love that you’re focused on making a career change (something that could definitely impact your budget) without impacting your savings goals. It sounds like you’re doing great! Thank you so much 😊

[@emilyatparis]

Congrats Steph!! I recently hit $100k as well. It's a huge accomplishment and amazing to see how much you've grown since your first job in HR 💖I'm 24 and just quit my job at a Big 4 firm to go work as a contractor at a startup - excited to see what the future brings ✨

[@csguak]

That was exactly me at age 27. I went all in on stocks and bought a 1.2 million dollar house in LA 7 years later at the age 34. Once you hit that 100k mark, you can snowball it like crazy if you know what you are doing. That house I bought is currently skyrocketing in equity and I am renting out for a ton of cash. Money will simply grow itself like crazy after you hit $1,000,000.

[@stephandden]

That's great to hear! Congrats on your success, too 😊

[@randomizationme]

Yes, I do feel more resistance to change as I am aging, even though I'm still in my late 20s too! I feel more relaxed in my late 20s - I don't have that "passion/motivation" (not really sure what to call it) but that drive to keep up with what I once desired...the newest job, the newest car, highest profit, and etc. I'm more tame, still figuring out life but doing it at my own pace. I still have passions, and stuff I enjoy doing but it's different from when I was young. I'm not sure if it's good or bad but I'm trying to enjoy every moment of it regardless. Also, congrats to $100K and your wedding, family that may be coming around the corner ! ;)

[@stephandden]

Ha, thank you so much!! + thanks for sharing this 😊

[@Victor-sb3rv]

Great stuff! As Charlie Munger says, the first $100K is a bitch. It only gets easier from there. Definitely feel you on the life stages / body stuff - I'm 29 and around 26/27 was when it really hit me that I'm not 20 and I can't do the same things as I could then (the hangovers get baaaad)

[@FA9082]

Stopped listening 1 minute in when she said she was saving $2300 a month. lol she forgot to mention she obviously makes a shit load every month, this is obviously not realistic for normal people. Most people would be lucky if they could save $200 a month😂

[@stephandden]

That means you missed the part where I didn’t save anything for 1+ years when we started working for ourselves - everyone’s journey is different and it’s not linear (I’m currently saving $2,300/month on a $70,000 salary) Saving $200/month is great if that’s what you’re able to put away 😊

[@Victor-sb3rv]

@@FA9082 Nah, don't be a jealous prick. She clearly states all of her income and her savings. It's pretty clear that Steph and Den are both super hard working frugal people. She's not making enormous sums of money or getting lump sums from her parents. She's saving $2K because she's prioritizing and working hard at it, and what you're not seeing is the sacrifices she's making to do so.

Congrats Steph on hitting your first 100k!🎉 I’m in my early thirties now living downtown TO with a toddler and husband and all of our accounts together are hovering at 600k. I think if you keep going, and don’t buy any property, you’ll hit $1 million within the next 10 years. We also wanted to buy property initially but realized that it doesn’t make financial sense for us (we reevaluate every year), and it still hasn’t for 7+ years.

[@mitcheg6266]

Congrats!! I also just hit 100K earlier this year! It is a very exciting number to hit! Opening a FHSA is a fantastic idea too!! Without having the context of how you both operate your business, have you guys considered buying your first primary residence in a more affordable city or even province in Canada? This is purely assuming most of your business operates from home and location is not essential. This can help cushion the transition of buying a home and starting a family + all the expenses involved (My wife and I have 3 kids, and this has helped us greatly!). If you can make the same amount of money, but live in a more affordable city/province, this can be very beneficial to wealth building. Thanks for the great content!!

[@stephandden]

Amazing, congrats to you, too! 🥳 We do plan on buying in a lower cost city - we don't want to buy something unaffordable (as almost everything is in the GTA 😅). Our plan for now is to buy a rental property in a lower cost city, and then continue to rent in the city. We'll see how that changes over time, but we'll be documenting everything on our channel (we posted a video all about this a few weeks ago if you're interested!) Thanks again for your comment!

[@mitcheg6266]

@@stephandden Thanks! I am definitely following! I am actually doing the same thing, my wife and I own a property in a Canadian metro city that we rent out (since 2015) and we live in a smaller more affordable city (renting) while we are saving up a down payment for a home we can call our own for our family. You guys have a great plan in check! Don't underestimate (not at all saying you guys are, I am new to your channel) how much work goes into managing a rental property, I would argue in most cases it is not "passive" income, but nonetheless it is a great investment! There are times where it sucks owning a non-commercial rental property (it's the truth), but I have had no regrets with it, and I am sure you both will not either!

Honestly I felt the exact same after 27, injuries creeped in, need significant increase in selfcare time just to keep the ball rolling and don’t recover as quickly from exertion as I used to in my early 20’s. I guess its part of the journey. And learning how to move forward with those nuances is part of it as well

[@maddielcooper]

Don't feel bad for feeling how you feel at 27!! It hit me around that age too, even though for others it takes longer. The changes in the body, the feeling that big changes are coming right around the corner. Everyone's timeline is unique but I felt just like you but it hit me at 26! I have a lot of feelings about everything you're saying because you think a lot like me, except we did things in a different order: had our first baby at 27, became obsessed with finance and investing at 28, and are now building our business at 29. Here are some thoughts: - It is SO awesome that you are beginning to think about the changes that are coming well before they're here because you will be SO grateful when that time comes. I really didn't think about the financial side very much and it was a huge stress and controlled our options in terms of how we raise our family so much. - You mention not wanting to be surprised by anything when that time comes - you definitely will be, but hopefully not financially! I think that it is near impossible to imagine family life before you have kids which makes it soooo hard to plan (and budget) but I think you are doing the best thing possible by focussing on saving and investing now so that you will have options available when your family grows. You may not want to take a long maternity leave, but you also might, and because you have such a strong foundation you will have the freedom to choose! Congratulations!! - This video was so well thought out and you are so well spoken and inspiring so thank you for what you're doing in the world 🙏

Congrats on reaching your goal girl!!! Ive been watching your channel recently. I know what you mean by changing chapters in your life. Since I wasn’t taught anything about finances I feel a lot of fear, anxiety since I’m late in the game. At 40, I still have student debt, barely any savings and living really pay to pay. My goal in the next couple of months is to save emergency fund and pay off the last of my student loan. The credit debt seems a bit daunting though. I’ve never done a budget or really invested. This channel has really helped though.

[@stephandden]

Thank you so much! 😊 It's so unfortunate that we aren't actually taught about personal finance early on - it really can lead to a lot of anxiety + be overwhelming. We love that you're focused on creating an emergency fund + paying off your student loans, though! Those are amazing steps to be taking (and you'll feel so good afterwards).

I reached 100k a month ago too’ I always feel like it’s not enough. I’m 31! But watching this video gives me a hope that it’s not as bad? 😅 for my age 🤔

[@stephandden]

Congratulations! That's great 🥳 and I hear you - it's so easy to compare! It's all about your personal income and how much you're able to save / invest. It sounds like you're doing great 😊

[@blackchickadee1]

Amazing work guys! This is such a realistic video and chat.

[@stephandden]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@EBooksForMe]

Just hit 37k ;)

[@stephandden]

Congrats! 🥳

[@stayreal4l284]

Great job ! I’d never tell anyone what to do, but if I was asked I’d say get married before you buy property together. It’ll save you guys a headache god forbid if something doesn’t workout. Speaking from experience. Great video!

Lol when you hit 30 you are gonna realize it is really just anticipatory anxiety. Yes your body changes, yes you have to make different decisions based on your goals. But the fact that you have financial security helps a lot to make you feel like your 30s are still wonderful 20s 😂 may you continue you financial growth in a way that best serves you 🎉❤

[@stephandden]

I believe that already 😅 and thank you, I love that messaging! 🙏🏻

Been working for 6 years as an immigration officer with starting salary+allowance at 1800. Annual salary increase by 100. Now i got 10K savings that i might have to use in August cuz I'm taking a vacation going back to my hometown. My only regret is i wasted my opportunity to become a great student during school 😢.

[@stephandden]

I love that you’ve been able to save $10k - and even being aware of your personal financial situation is a great start. Save what you can 😊

[@itsnece]

[@chrisbaker2669]

Congrats on hitting a $100,000 the next goal should be to buy a house that will help you hit that million dollar milestone.

[@stephandden]

That’s the goal! Thank you 😊

[@kelseyh7918]

Thank you for the update! Congrats on reaching 100K! Watching your videos always keeps me motivated to continue saving and investing :) And yes, I am in my early 30s and definitely feel what you described about changing life stages... It also motivates me to keep saving/investing so I can have a financial safety net for when big life changes happen. And feeling like your body does not recover as well is also very valid (unfortunately!)

[@stephandden]

Thanks so much! 😊 I definitely resonate with that - it’s more comforting knowing you have a safety net! And ugh it really is an unfortunate reality 😅

[@PK-db9qj]

I'm 28 and I saved and invested $150K. I don't have a side income though apart from main job 🥺

[@stephandden]

That's amazing! 🥳
