Thanks for such a well produced video! You guys rock! Was a pleasure to do this chat.

[@jayachandral9422]

Paid artistic content, reality is Worst platform, poor support please please stay away from wint stay safe. Earlier I recommend this company but after seeing the support when we got issue, I'm saying this. Support ticket 29540. My wife amount blocked more than 4 lakh since 3months, no solution. Ever believe this company directly use RBI Retail App for buying bonds directly from government for safer future.

[@MrSaikathalder]

1. Lady's father had government job, likely pension. so parental support needed. 2. Man did Engineering in the 1990s this itself put him in top 1% percentile. How many did engineering before IT boom in India? 3. Man inherited House in Delhi. So, no cost for housing. 4. They both were in IT. just before & during the Boom. So, they got lucky. 5. Lady got multiple onsite job options. Japan, US, Europe. They earned in foreign currency. 6. They dont have kids. Never mentioned about kids. 7. They have real estate in europe. in Major cities in EU RE became 3x in Euro terms in last 20 years. 8. This couple has foreign passport, as they would not be buying house on a PR in europe. 9. They intend to travel 195 countries not on Indian passport for sure. 10. They retired at 50, with foreign income, foreign passport, inherited house, most importantly not having 2 kids like middle class indian.

[@movingabroad2212]

Having a house is so much under-rated. Currently, in major Indian cities, for my FIRE calculations , housing itself is 20X my annual expenses, even with 2bhk. Also, salaries in Europe have moved 20-30% in past decade but India has become relatively expensive. But Kudos to the couple. We still need people like them to inspire others.

[@vineethsn]

Fire for average Indian is possible only through equities and only if he or she get in early. Should start investing from first employment and incrementally increase every pay rise.

[@jhilmil1401]

Destroyed in seconds😂😂😂

[@deepakRSK]

50 is not FIRE.

[@BikerDaDInt650]

Perfectly said , this can't be achived with these examples from the high paying jobs. SOme one with normal salary should be shown as example to retire by 50

[@Curbalnk]

This video indicates you don't need a high IQ to be a good investor, just 2 qualities, self discipline and a lot of patience. Investing is mostly about behavioral psychology. How can I generate more income to retire with at least 3m for long term care?

[@greekbarrios]

We share common goal, making sure you are ready for your later years is very important. That's why passive investing works, low costs, better diversification and it enables people to overcome their behavioral bias especially if they engage professional help.

[@blaquopaque]

@@greekbarrios It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $30k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

[@Shultz4334]

@blaquopaque I've been looking to get one, but have been kind of relaxed about it. Could you recommend your advis0r? I'll be happy to use some help.

[@blaquopaque]

I've stuck with ‘’Jennifer Leigh Hickman” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@FelixDedrick]

I really appreciate the dedication in each video you post. To be successful one has to have multiple income streams and so on, also investors should understand the crossover between asset classes & liquidity flow, Judith Layton focuses on Multi-asset trading, a single strategy to manage risk, profit, and the code or the actual decision-making across multi-asset classes. Her skills set is top notch

[@AndersonBemzy]

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn’t know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super.

[@GeorgeJustice-dt3fz5564]

The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $3900. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills

[@ChanMingMason]

You trade with Judith M Layton too? Wow that woman has been a blessing to me and my family

[@MasonAnderson-wx3xf]

I was skeptical at first until I decided to try. It’s huge returns is awesome! I can’t say much.

[@brandBull-wf5go]

Please let me know how to contact her as I'm new to this.

[@nilishadaga]

It looks like they don't have children - that's the biggest unsaid part of their FIRE strategy!

[@gambitgaming1539]

true

[@TheFIREdCouple]

Yes that is correct. We don't have children and that definitely does bring the travel flexibility and accelerates the financial independence journey. However we are funding / funded the education of the nephews and nieces. Also most people by 50 become 'empty nesters' so hopefully that brings in the flexibility to travel too.

[@manojnandhan8677]

And also they worked in abroad

[@matte67]

Also they don't take care of their parents. Conditions vary from person to person

[@cbazxy2697]

There's no winning, when a couple being childfree is mentioned audience takes it as personal attack on their own choice of having or wanting kids even though its completely related when we talk about money. People will start making unnecessary comments like how they will be lonely, they have no purpose, fire is not worth it without kids and so on. On the otherhand when it's not mentioned they suddenly realize, how important it is to share that.

[@MelissaHobbs-qm8wi]

Retirement planning can be quite overwhelming, especially when it comes to choosing the right investment options.

[@EricaWaters-lr6zw]

Absolutely. With so many choices like banks, bonds, and IRAs, it's hard to know which ones will provide the best returns.

[@WhitneyRoss-dj4rf]

And let's not forget the ever-changing market conditions and economic uncertainties. It's enough to make anyone nervous about their retirement savings.

[@AshleyKeith-vw7ws]

That's where a knowledgeable financial advisor like DESIREE RUTH HOFFMAN can make a big difference. She can help navigate the complexities of retirement planning and recommend tailored strategies based on individual goals and risk tolerance.

[@ScottLarrry]

I've been considering my options for retirement, but I'm not sure where to start. It seems like there are so many pitfalls to avoid.

[@MelissaHobbs-qm8wi]

That's a common concern. Without proper guidance, it's easy to make mistakes that could impact your financial security in retirement.

[@sheltonPston]

is it really worth investing in stocks in 2024, I’ve been on the sidelines watching the market for awhile and it seems to be pretty stagnant to me not that it matters because I’m in it for the long run, but how can one generate actual profit in this current market?

[@PhilipMurray251]

Don't be in a hurry to get in. The market needs several days of strong performance to signal that the downturn might be over; i think It's a time to be largely, if not entirely, in cash

[@Robertgriffinne]

The economy and stocks are two different things these days, but i agree, I think it's brilliant to have a portfolio advisor for investing! The market's instability makes DIY risky. I've turned 480k into $32k in quarterly dividends using one, a major milestone.

[@sheltonPston]

I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?

[@Robertgriffinne]

There are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Amber Kay Wright” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive. She’s quite known in her field, look her up.

[@sheltonPston]

I appreciate this. After curiously searching her name online and reviewing her credentials, I'm quite impressed

[@lumivalkosnow]

I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million

[@jesus_inco]

You work for 40yrs to have $1m in your retirement, Meanwhile some people are putting just $10k in a meme coin for just few months and now they are multi millionaires. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

[@steliosmormoris1]

Thanks for continuing updates I'd rather trade the stock market as it's more profitable. I make an average of $34,500 per week even though I barely trade myself.

[@kiimi.kls0]

I'm favoured financially, Thank you Jesus $32,000 weekly profit regardless of how bad it gets on the economy.

[@PranatiSahoo-yg3gp]

[@katemorrison5444]

”Anyone who is not investing now is missing a tremendous opportunity." As a single mother living in Spain, I purchased my second house in September last year, and I am on track to retire next year. I owe a huge thanks to Maya Payson for her invaluable help in making this possible.

[@angelmiguel133]

This lady called Maya Payson must be very good for people to talk about her this much. she also manages the investments of one of my colleagues. I'm impressed that you are aware of her as well.

[@katemorrison5444]

Yes Angel she's very good, she is straightforward and one of the best so far. People who don't know her or those that haven't invested with her. would say otherwise but the honest truth is that she has helped more people than i can count and that has to stand for something.

[@CharlotteGreen47]

I must say, she is definitely one of the best out there. Her expertise as a registered investment advisor is unparalleled and she is well-versed in the financial market. I had the pleasure of meeting her once during a trading conference in Oklahoma, and it was clear that she knows her stuff.

[@Richardwilly-gc5oz]

Her expertise and guidance has really helped me in earning weekly income ranging from $800 to $1000. Well done Maya!

These two individuals are really grounded. Loved the clarity of thought. All the best

[@fnamelname7296]

Not sure why lot of people are hating on this couple. Try to learn from them instead. I am also 50 and achieved FI in my 40s with kids! In order to achieve FI, you obviously need a decent income… You cannot expect to make 2 lac/annum and retire in Europe! And you would be surprised at the number of high income people who are no where close to FI. And that’s the learning here. The strategy to get there.

Lets say i don't have kids and i dont like to travel and all, i just like to sit at home and enjoy which is not bad actually You know how many millions of people already achieved FIRE. In fact many millions are born FIRED, what should they do? Some people are so rich that all the next coming generations are FIRED. I think next 20-30 years at least 25 percent of the population will not work. Work is a choice and not a necessity anymore, this is a slowly unwinding human story.

to put it simply, the dude got opportunity abroad, bought real estate with that, started getting rents on it (primarily). But not everyone gets a chance like this.

[@debchak27]

they never mentionedd their networth - it was said 35x+ annual expenses. given their life, I think their annual expenses could be ~75-100 lacs. so they have accumulated 25-35 Cr! but then with 70% income coming from passive sources, ~30 Cr can yield about 90 lacs annually (assuming 2-3% yield from real estate/dividends/ etc.) .. Conclusion: If the above is true - the fact is one needs to cross 25 Cr networth to be really free and live a near-luxurious life.
