Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.

[@alicebenard5713]

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

[@philipcollen482]

This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?

[@RyanContreras72]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $483k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

[@KatherineAnderson-lm8bw]

Wow, that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.

[@SophiaBint-wj8wn]

I’ve actually been looking into advisors lately, the news I’ve been seeing in the market hasn’t been so encouraging. who’s the person guiding you?

This one book can change the financial future of your family for generations. JL is a SAINT in our household.

The only book that got me started with investing. No nonsense and straight away recommendation on how to invest and what to invest in.👌This book mainly builds that required conviction to sail through ups and downs of market.

[@nicholasmartinez6043]

This book changed my investing life

[@AngeliqueSabrina]

I just finished reading this book and it was life changing!

[@Random-ld6wg]

my career was bookended by 2 influential financial books. The Millionaire Next Door which became aspirational and reading The Simple Path to Wealth made me realize I had enough FU money and gave me the courage to retire early. i read the book in December and decided to retire in July the next year. i don't think i could have done 50% of gross as savings which is what he was advocating though. i also had a lot of individual stock exposure for more than a decade before i read the book which i will whittle down but all of my retirement money is in index funds. the trinity tables was reassuring to me.

[@method341]

Yes 50% of gross is a bit too much. Even 20% is hard these days.

[@Random-ld6wg]

@@method341 i did 25-35% of gross once i started my real job and 40-45% 2 yrs before retirement. main thing was paying myself first so i got used to living below our means.

Thanks

[@ezmaass]

All great points, and they align well to John Bogle's own advice - the "father" of the index fund. Regarding which total market and total bond funds to use, Vanguard is great - but I'd actually opt for VTI and BND instead, as these are the ETF equivalents. ETFs can be bought and sold intra-day, which gives them a slightly better edge and control element. Moreover, I believe they're slightly more tax efficient. Again, all great points - building wealth is a simple formula - the discipline to stick with it, not pawn it off on someone else, and live these simple rules daily is what matters in the long run.

[@thejourney7395]

Another great video! If the average person follows your sound advice, they WILL succeed! It works.

[@iamkerenlouise]

Greetings Ta! Fantastic nuggets of financial wisdom and action to take today! I completely love your channel's content --you knock every video out of the park--thank you! I have digested the book, but your take on it --nailed it!

[@arigutman]

Wow, great video and great rec on the book... It keeps it all simple... Would love to interview you, Tae!

[@xyz11zxc11]

Added this book to my must-read books list. I think the biggest pitfall most people fall victim to when it comes to personal finance is controlling the lifestyle and normalizing debt, which the book covers. I think this is especially pertinent to younger generations, who are using services like Klarna or PayPal to finance their trips or even meals! The social media generation makes living within one's mean that much harder with the FOMO culture.

[@jo-annguthur7314]

I also have read many personal finance books, and if I could only recommend one of them to be read , it would be this one.

[@davidblack6413]

Your summary of JL Collins' The Simple Path to Wealth here was superb, Tae. That book, to borrow from poet Robert Frost, is the financial road not taken. As compared here to the brightly lit superhighway that is consumerism, debt, and a needlessly complex investment industry, the simple path, with its proven, character-building, and easily learned precepts, is a quiet walk in the woods. And those who follow its teachings and find the financial freedom Collins and you speak of can, as Frost wrote, be like the wanderer in the poem : " I took the one less travelled by/And that has made all the difference."

[@StellaMaris-lv2uq]

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 alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.

[@maryHenokNft]

The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic. I believe that is the most effective way to enter the business at the moment.Read more

Nobody can suddenly become prosperous financially. Although they did the background work, we mostly see the ultimate product. Fear is a harmful factor that prevents us from making the courageous decisions we need to make in order to achieve our goals.
