Just don’t get divorced because that 100 k and any gains will be decimated. Life is rarely linear. Probably the best advice I could give to a young person is choose your partner carefully. A good partner will make your life wealthy beyond 1.6 million at 65 yrs old.

[@SgtPence]

Very true, I wish I knew this 20 years ago!

[@deadcell1]

The only way to avoid a divorce is to never get married. People are constantly changing, the person you are today is a completely different person than when you were 18 years old and the partner you marry today will be a completely different person in 10 to 20 years. Picking a good partner is like trying to predict what the weather is going to be like in 20 years. It's nearly impossible because people change.

[@jonathanwallace6667]

I got married and divorced early 20s no kids. I'm 60 recently with a 1.2 million net worth. $950,000 liquid. The rest is home equity. A $95,000 a yr income debt free. I max out my TSP including catch up every yr. Also max my Roth IRA out every yr. Debt free makes it easier. My goal is 2mill at 67 retirement. I'll also receive a federal person and SS.

If you don't believe the young lady.... Since 1970... Household income is up 700% (two workers today) .... S&P 500 is up 5,800%... When it comes to out pacing inflation and more lenient taxation, the system is set up to benefit the investor, not the employee... If you're an investor, you've become wealthier (even in the last four years)... If you rely on your salary, you've simply become poorer... The days of "lower, middle and upper" class are gone...

sorry to burst your bubble, but $100K in 2024 if you are 25, at 65 @ 7% compounded for 40 years = $1,497,445.78 in 2064. The value of $1,000,000 in 2064 depends on the inflation rate. For example, if the inflation rate is 3.2% for 40 years, then $1,000,000 today in 2024 would only be worth $283,669.15 in 40 years adjusted for inflation. So your $1,497,445.78 in 2064 isn't going to be worth as much as you think in 2064.

[@FaintAura]

The 7%/year is very conservative and possibly accounts for the net gain per year after inflation. Avg. S&P return per year = 10% minus inflation of 3% per year = 7%.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but the 7% she assumed already has inflation factored in. Real account value is about 3 million which would be worth about a million today.

[@ChanceThePilot]

I love the piece about finding something you’re truly passionate about. I’m 24 years old and just found out my net worth was 1.2 million yesterday after running the numbers. Lol I had the blessing of also relaxing on the sunny beach of San Diego where I currently live and it does get boring. I realized I’m a damn workhorse bro. I need to be constantly working and building towards a passion. Right now my next goal is to become the best pilot I can be, be as fit as I can be, and look into hobbies that make me happy.

[@rubicon3416]

Yes. As long as debt goes up, certain assets go up. It's not a healthy, sound system.

[@tahirhaq9627]

People are missing the mark. First off, who says the $ is going to be around decades from now? Second of all, we might ALL be millionaires and not be able to afford bread. Inflation does not equal growth

[@h-therearethosethatcallmet684]

When they're talking about the average annualized returns of the s&p 500, they are talking about the inflation adjusted average. It is accounted for. They are using real not nominal.

[@peternguyen1911]

That’s right, live like there’s no tomorrow and don’t save a dime and then complain when you’re 50 and broke with no plan about how life screwed you

[@peternguyen1911]

@Tater-Skinz you won’t get there with that attitude

[@thinsliced]

might as well not even try then

[@Mschell403]

My fiancé wants to take out a 100k loan against our house to grow that in mutual funds. The interest is base minus whatever, but I’m wondering if the growth will be enough to keep up with the interest and still turn a profit. Thoughts?

[@JimThompson-i3u]

Compound interest is a great friend to have.

[@ImVeryBrad]

I've been saving for 13 years so far. Last month my retirement account made 6k on its own. Pretty sweet!

[@Abraham.Lincoln22]

“Kagillionaire” seems reasonable. 👍💰

[@15coals39]

Not enough, you're gonna need $100,000,000,000 Kagillion 😂

[@iequalasian]

why do it manually when you can get it automatically by using monarch money or something similar. the tech is already out there and it automatically syncs and updats everything

[@planetChristie]

Glad you made a point about your goal not to retire. We see people who retire get bored and get random jobs in their 60s and 70s. The goal is to have a nest egg but to do with you want when you want! I figured out the same and I get too bored easily to “retire”. One time I took a 4 month break from working and I was bored out my mind and I mostly just work out and read books 😂.

[@FinancialCharles]

I got to 200k at 24, and I never thought I would get here this fast. Just keep aggressively investing

[@CalmerThanYouAre1]

Now that you’re FI, what have you found to be the right balance of work to leisure, on average? Obviously some weeks will be more or less than others due to concentrated effort on projects or extended vacations with family. I’m wondering how I will balance that out myself, being a driven person as well. It’ll probably be harder for me to “chill” than it will be to “find something to do”.

[@Litterbaux]

Yeah this strategy didn't work for my DRIP Disney fund for my kid... I'm not even sure we are break even 12 years later

[@KayFabe87]

Need to diversify. Investing in one company entails too much concentration risk.

[@matthewhoover6154]

John Bogle "Common Sense Investing" should be required reading for anyone wanting to invest. He founded Vanguard. He compares people who index vs people who use money managers, and explains how over 40 or 50 years, 99 percent of companies fail, so investing in individual companies isn't a passive strategy. If you buy individual companies, you need to follow their businesses and quarterly reports and the overall market and economy. I used to swing trade, it takes about 2 hours a day doing market research and following business news, so it isn't a good strategy for most fully employed people.

[@NANA-dv5ix]

Paying companies to hyperinflate their stock value is a major contributor to rising prices, in your attempt to invest in stock to get more profit, you have doomed other people to pay for it

[@SweatyTheodore]

I’m new to all this and have a question. Let’s say I want to put all my money into VOO, is that considered diversification? It’s spread out over a bunch of different stocks, but it’s all in a single fund, which means it’s not diversified, right?

[@Mack.of.all.trades]

How common is 100k invested by 25

[@nicolemiggin8358]

Compounding is not the same as compound interest.

[@chadwolf5596]

Im 35 with networth of 100k it's decent. But I've made many mistakes when I was young

[@Dangerclose1]

I would list out my situation but yall would say I’m lying. So fck it

[@rodrigocortes3641]

I’m gonna be eligible for a $4,500 monthly pension starting at age 59. Do pensions count towards your net worth? It’s guaranteed to have funds till 2053.

[@lisatrombley8034]

You're better off using worthless fiat to buy precious metals

[@DagnirRen]

Precious metals that can be stolen and faked. Not a bad addition to the portfolio, but don’t put all your eggs in one basket.

[@albertanmotorcyclist6419]

precious metals are a decent hedge against inflation, and nothing else. Precious metals will not grow your wealth at all

No harm in holding both. VOO for growth and SCHD for income.

Good stuff. Great channel

[@emmanuelc7472]

People forget market pull backs and crashes

[@Coastpsych_fi99]

Not really, provided you don't realise losses (sell during a crash) and only invest what you can afford to lose (aka have an emergency fund) and property you should be fine based on historical records.

[@keithallen2457]

That's when everything's on sale. Perfect time to buy.

[@kbkb117]

That guy bragging about his net worth and being smart appears to also be talking to a camera while driving without a seat belt. Hope he pays for life insurance and comprehensive car insurance too.

[@cantbsdave]

The kind of growth we’ve experienced in the past 50 years cannot and will not likely continue. Also our inflation is averaging much higher for longer (think 1980-ish where is spiked but was short lived in comparison to the cost of living) therefore a lot more money will be required to be invested to hit those stated goals.

[@milkboccle]

In the UK a teacher and supply chain manager would get the equivalent of $80,000 on a good day

[@curiouspeople6441]

Rather invest it the BTC standard way 😉

[@galaer6625]

1:06 inflation will eat up your million. A million in retirement can turn into a modest amount. It will not have the same value as it does today.

[@Liiber1]

7% adjusted for inflation, cheers

[@BoBnotThat1]

Never thought of net worth like that. So I'm richer than I thought. Got the plus and none of minis. I need a 15 year plan starting from £500-£1000. No cc, no car, no doubt.

[@pattybaselines]

It is really just a fun game that is the right attitude

[@scottcoachlife5443]

I will explain the avg. vs. median since it appears OP and the original OP video are rolling around w/ double-digit IQ's and don't want to educate beyond rah rah inspiration. Average doesn't mean shit b/c outliers will skew the hell out of the data. Meaning, if 1 guy's net worth is 100K another guy's is 20K and a third guy is the son of the founder of Home Depot, the average will be in the tens of millions.

[@FinancesOnBitcoin]

Why do I wanna play it “safe” and wait until I’m 65 and old to retire 😂

[@goldstandardaviation1667]

There are tons of NEPO babies with rich parents.

[@sandracastellanos921]

Ok but how did that roofer guy get that many homes and obtain a business? Rich parents probably

[@desiv1170]

Could also be some luck too. I've seen vids where people bought cheap homes that were in bad shape, fixed them up and flipped them or turned them into rentals... Now, this won't work for most people, because if the house is cheap it will usually cost much more to fix up, etc... But a small percentage of people doing that are going to get lucky (and yes, they will put in the work, but there is a lot of luck to avoid major problems in the home/neighborhood too) on that first home. And once you get lucky on that first one, it's easier to do that for the second home as you now have the equity. Personally, I would NOT recommend that. It's a lot of work AND you need to be lucky. Also, I think it's MUCH MUCH MUCH harder now than it was even 10 years ago... So yeah... Rich parents would be much easier. ;-)

[@holisticcatalyst]

Millionaire implies abundance of disposable cash flow, or the ability to spend above average amounts of your income, not just a paid off home that may or not sell. Mike Jordan had to wait over 12 years to sell his Chicago home for example. I say a millionaire has 1M in liquid cash, not equities or assets. Synthetic millionaire vs a cash millionaire. I was a "millionaire" with many rental properties, but lived on a modest salary because of the massive debt and recurring expenses, etc, so it is good to become a equity millionaire at first, then you will sell some doors, or a business one day and when you receive 1M cash check, you will know the difference. If your building, keep at it, dividend paying stocks are far better than buying houses, start now and live debt free.

[@user-ir4we1nb8f]

The first lady had a good message. The S&P is not an ETF though. Good message overall.

[@jdarling5315]

Probably meant SPY

[@MikeS309]

She meant an etf or index fund that tracks the S&P 500.

Why didn't she put her makeup on BEFORE making the video?

[@josenoway5255]

I like watching this guy, but interesting boost he had. 25 YO with 96k to start his journey.. nice and good for him. Hopefully my kids will have this life. Im this guys age and thankfully my work has given me stocks, bonuses, and a 6 figure salary, hoping I can keep going for the future kiddos.

[@zulynava4059]

In my opinion if you don’t have a million in cash and investment your not really a Millionaire. House and car value is not liquid until you sell it. Someone can call himself “net worth millionaire”, but that’s not millionaire in my book.

[@admiralmurat2777]

Warren Buffet would agree.

[@desiv1170]

I get what you are saying, but stocks also are not cash, until you sell them... ;-) I think it's important to note that information, especially considering retirement. But technically, they are millionaires. Just that some of those assets aren't as liquid as others...

[@dawson0610]

I trade using that amount and make those 1-3% a day or so. I find that more profitable than just let it sit.

[@cavemanjoe7972]

Thanks for the tip. Buying puts on SPY and VOO for March 20th, 2025!😂

[@NadoJoe]

Hundred thousand is pretty low to set up as a goal. I was always trying to be a millionaire by 30 and it took me a little bit longer, but I did have some help with my parents so I can understand how it could be a lot more difficult, especially with the prices and people these days that are going through school, especially if they shouldn’t be if you’re not a lawyer or a doctor or something like that there’s really no need. It’s just a waste.

[@AlyxFaust]

It’s alarming and scary that people equate quality and worth of a person by the size of their checkbook. Those that sought riches and possessions and experiences the most in my life and my own understanding, always seemed to be the worst from a character standpoint.
