I had a chat with my Empower rep several months ago about that very savings chart. The rep informed me that a better way to view it is try and be AT the median goal at the beginning of your 20's, 30's, etc. Their hope, and surely ours, is that after a 10 year period we'll of course be paid more than at the beginning. With good planning when you're young, it'd blow the top end easily away. Also even if you are later to the savings game, such as myself sadly, with sound planning and compounded interest, all those numbers are easily beatable. It is possible, markets willing, I could hit the stated median at the end of my 40's. Even if I do not however, by the end of my 50's I'll be will above the median listed there. Informative video as always!

I used to work as an investment advisor. The advice presented in the video is excellent and holds true for the average American. While it's a fact that money can't directly buy genuine happiness, it does provide the means to access experiences that can lead to happiness. However, for individuals with a substantial portfolio, say around $5 million, if you observe closely, you'll find that most people in their 70s are still quite active (I live in LA), but by the time they reach 80, their activity levels tend to decline. So, it's essential to enjoy life at some point before it's too late. That enjoyable vacation might well be the experience that brings comfort in your later years. It's important to distinguish between spending money wisely and squandering it. Be prudent in your value-conscious spending.

Due to my demanding job, I lack the time to thoroughly assess my investments and analyze individual stocks. Consequently, for the past seven years, I have enlisted the services of a fiduciary who actively manages my portfolio to adapt to the current market conditions. This strategy has allowed me to navigate the financial landscape successfully, making informed decisions on when to buy and sell. Perhaps you should consider a similar approach.

For all of you worried about being in the 100K income bracket. I retired at 34 with an average under 50k income at an average job. It all started with a free stock from Robinhood when I was homeless at 16. Trust me! You can do this!

110k net worth and I’m 24, my only debt is a mortgage of 325k. I also pay for my husbands school out of pocket but I chose to become a CPA and already make about 97k. My advice is to practice minimalism. I also only share one car with my husband since I work from home, try and prevent getting a car or just get a cheap one if you have to.

Investing is good,but there is always a chance of a crash and if your near retirement be carefull. Life happens and sometimes it feels like a crap shoot investing. I took a chance on a stock I knew well about and it grew fast in 2 1/2 years and that was a worry in its own. I sold when I had enough to pay my home off and a month later the stock crashed because of faulty book work by this company. So your always taking a gamble. I was very lucky. The point is you may know or think you know a company ,but there are things that are out of your control.

My house expenses for a month raising 3 kids, wife and large dog is 7600$ That's zero to clothes, zero to hobbies or going out. And we have zero debt besides a truck payment and mortgage. Wife and I haven't gone out in over 8 years. I pack my own lunches for work, 90% of our clothes are purchased used, and the kids are in MMA which is pretty expensive. But I have no idea how any of you are surviving. My wife and I both have pensions, that's our only light at the end of this tunnel

If your income isn't there try to level up as spoken. A part time gig in today's market could be very valuable. Nowadays most pt jobs are paying at least $10 an hour. Working 15 hours a week for a month is enough to put in your monthly for an IRA. The earlier you plan this out the less you have to contribute later in life, yielding the snowball effect.

I disagree on the $6,000 emergency fund prior to funding a Roth IRA. Contributions can be withdrawn from a Roth tax and penalty free. I've never had to withdraw but this extra boost in retirement savings can be a great motivator as well as good security blanket that's a bit more difficult to pull from than a regular savings account

He's going by individual income level: $40k is 40%ile, United States 2023 (~equiv $80k to $100k for family with two children, both working). Might be the cutoff point for middle class and working class. $75k is 71%ile, United States 2023 (~equiv $150k to $188k for family with two children, both working). Toward the higher of middle class. $100k is 82%ile, United States 2023 (~equiv $). Cutoff point for good upper middle class in America.

Best way to finance a car: Don't. There's absolutely zero reason you need to pay the bank or a dealership for a 20-30k dollar car. There's a car for every purpose in the 1500-3000 dollar range that you can pay for in cash. This is also a lesser talked about part of becoming wealthy and or financially stable. It is a nice thing to be able to work on and FIX your own vehicle or at the very least be knowledgeable about them so you know where as to spend your hard earned dollars on something reliable and going to last 10+ years instead of a brand new car that you're paying monthly for and has to go to a dealership when it breaks.
