If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You must look outward if you wanna be successful in life.

[@mariaguerrero08]

The first step to successful investing is figuring out your goals and risk tolerance either on your own or with the help of a financial professional but is very advisable you make use of a professional like I did. If you get the facts about saving and investing and follow through with an intelligent plan, you should be able to gain financial security over the years and enjoy the benefits of managing your money.

[@ThomasChai05]

Safe to say not everybody has the skill to pursue investing. But it's always easy to follow the advice of someone who knows how to i.e a financial advisor. You could anywhere between 10--40k with the right ones. Online businesses are a good bet too if you are savvy.

One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I know I’ll make profits.

[@AlexNelson-z4p]

You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.

[@AllenJefferson-b1]

That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.

Pre-tax contributions may help reduce income taxes in your pre-retirement years while after-tax contributions may help reduce your income tax burden during retirement.

Both have their perks but you can also save for retirement outside of a retirement plan, such as in an individual investment account or employing the services of a retirement planner/advisor.

Houses should ultimately be included in net worth. They increase in value over time. But, in terms of retirement ability, the only way it helps is if you downsize but also, if it is paid off.

35, just got to 0. But with our current income, future raises and using your investment and saving strategy, i think we'll be able to get to $500k in 8 years. That's both 401k and liquid. And by my calculations, with only 5% apy, we should at $3 million by 60 and $5 million by 65. That will allow us to live off of the interest alone, and living really well. Just wish i had paid attention when i was younger. I could have put $100 away each month but chose not to because i thought it wouldn't make a difference.

We are 32 and investments in retirement, brokerage, HSA are right about at 200K. Savings rate 25%. Our only non-mortgage debt is 18K federal student loan at 4.5%. At what age do they say that 4.5% is considered (high interest)?

[@sd0753]

Congrats. You are way ahead of just about everyone at your age. At your age debt with 7% or more interest is high interest. You subtract 1% for each new decade, so that 7% becomes 6% in your 40s and 5% in your 50s.

When we say 25% of gross to retirement, do we include employer match in that math or do we ignore that? If we already have real estate, we are ignoring home equity in net worth right, not counting the mortgage as a debt and ignoring the home value?

[@circrna]

You should count your debt. It is debt. Subtract it from your net worth. My opinion. I am not expert.

[@johannsigursson5319]

@@circrna if I recall correctly, the video was saying to ignore your real estate when determining net worth but talked about mortgage when listing debts. So if you have 50k equity on a house but 200k mortgage left, no other assets except 10k cash, is your net worth 10k, 60k, - 140k or - 190k?

Same here. It can get overwhelming, especially when every article claims to have the “best” method. I’ve heard that what works can really depend on your net worth and financial goals.

[@Robby767]

Absolutely. I think that’s key-tailoring strategies to where you are financially. For example, when I was just starting out, focusing on paying off debt and saving aggressively made a huge difference. Now, I’m more focused on investing and tax-efficient strategies to grow what I’ve saved.

[@mariadrukker2557]

That makes sense. My husband and I are in a similar boat. We’ve paid off our mortgage, so now we’re looking into more advanced strategies like real estate investments and maximizing retirement accounts. But we’re still figuring out the best way to go about it.

[@thedude5040]

@DS_5298 natural log of 2 with a base of (1+(fixed interest rate%/100)). Thus a 3.5% interest rate takes 20.14 years instead of the imprecise 20.57 years you get using the boomer equation. Edit if you want to know how long to grow to 3x, replace the 2 with a 3.

[@BenFranklin1776]

Can someone explain what is the parent match on a custodial Roth IRA? They have mentioned it on many episodes (albeit not today). Everything I read still says the contribution maximum is lesser of dollar limit ($7k this year) or the child's earned income. So how can I put matching dollars in?

[@Kornheiser10]

It's not a formal match that is part of custodial Roth rules. What Brian does to inspire his kid to save, he (as I do) agree to match what the child puts in. It cannot exceed what the child makes, so if the child made $5,000 over the summer, the total cannot exceed $5k, so it could be $2,500 from kid and you match another $2,500. Also, you can't have kid put in $5k and you match $5k, as that exceeds the yearly Roth contribution amts.

[@BenFranklin1776]

@@Kornheiser10 Thank you. Sort of the same idea as what he describes for a first car, making the child pay half. So this still lets the kid enjoy half of their earned money, while maximizing the custodial Roth.

[@Kornheiser10]

@BenFranklin1776 yes, and gives them incentive. Just don't want to go over what they made, so the kid that made $2k can't put in 4k with parent's help.

[@diligentDawg99]

I'm a bit confused by how you talk about net worth outside of equity in home. Does that also not include the mortgage balance then? It seems like they are talking more about wealth invested vs. net worth. Also, since I've only been out of school for 2 years and have a high income, it's a bit weird to think my net worth is a 6 digit negative number, even though I'm more than half way to 100k in retirement accounts, due to student loans. Due to high income and a great match, I kind of feel like I'm out of order in the FOO because I'm investing so much while working through step 3 of the FOO (Some Student loans are as high as 9.2%APR). Also, knowing that it will take quite a while (~7-10 years) to get out of step 3, I've also put aside 3 months emergency fund (so skipped to step 4). What things might I want to think about in slightly breaking the FOO?

[@Lucky008aau]

Net Worth is all Assets (home, cars, expensive possessions, and investments) minus all Liabilities (current balances of home mortgage, car loan, credit card debts, student loans, etc). Throughout this video, they are saying to ignore the net value of your home (so pull out home value and amount of mortgage). Most cars lose value as you pay them off (and any equity in a car goes towards the next car) so they aren't considering that here either. What's left is invested assets and your debts besides your home mortgage. Rental properties and their debts would be included. Getting the employer match is step two. High interest debt is step 3. The only out of order part is the 3 months of expenses. Optimally you would put that toward your student loans, but if you need that cash to sleep at night, don't do it. It sounds like you're doing great, keep it up.

[@sd0753]

This show is a simplified explanation. They took the house portion out because there are a lot of people that have maybe 200k in a retirement account but live in a house they bought in the 60s and 70s for cheap and now is worth $1mil. Their net worth is over a million but they can't access it since nearly all of it is tied up in the house.

[@heidiortiz9352]

The key for a high income is don’t inflate your lifestyle, until you get the 9% student loans paid off. That interest rate is high enough that you need to get it paid off promptly
