    Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

    • @DorathyJoy
      @DorathyJoy 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      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.

    • @HectorWhitney
      @HectorWhitney 4 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

    I am personally somewhere between stage 3 and 4. Just 10 years ago, my wife and I had almost nothing in the bank, were swamped with debt and renting a single bedroom. We are now debt free (except for a mortgage), own a house that we are turning into a duplex for a rental (and already have a tenant) and more than 6 months of expenses in available cash. It is amazing how fast life can change for the better so long as you have a solid plan, spend frugally, and work hard to make your goals happen. Also, don't be afraid to take risks... so long as it isn't something stupid like "I am going to win the lottery!"

    I was at level 2 for a very long time, maybe 12 years, And the step up to level 3 believe it or not only took me about 4 months. He is right, Every time I would save up about $10,000, a big unexpected bill would come, a vet bill, or a car bill, etc. so after the dog went to heaven and I got myself a bicycle those unexpected expenses I’ve limited to never come again. Now up to about $70k savings and counting, I think I’m not far to level 4 however financial knowledge needs to come a long long way before acheiving level 4 and 5. And that’s why I’m watching this channel.

      I was at level 2 for a very long time, as I was disabled in a car accident and couldn't work for many years. I was able (just barely) to earn an MBA (from a good program) during this time, and so when I was finally able to try working again, my income quadrupled and I basically skipped Level 3 entirely and Level 4 was like two years.

    I'm almost 25 and am level 3 moving to level 4. It helps to be a financial advisor and have a degree in finance as many of my habits I instilled in my late teen years. My biggest struggle now is being a young professional and not getting caught up in consumerism. I'm trying hard to practice minimalism and live below my means... Convincing my partner to do the same has also been an interesting task :)

    It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a portfolio manager and fixed income planner in the USA. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won’t simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.

      Very true, people downplay planners role, until burnt by their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff 3 years ago amidst covid outbreak. I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for licensed fiduciary advisors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge and decades of experience. I liquidated 200k of my 340k from my 401(k) it has yielded nearly 1M usd after subsequent investments so far.

    As a working class Englishman of 37yrs at the time of this comment I can say that I was brought up with the mindset of "I'm no success but a damn good survivor". I actually consider myself lucky because it's the people right at the bottom level that will tend never to leave dependence. I'm certainly only a survivor, in debt on a low income but I still feel abundant because I'm mostly in good health and I'm working on my career to increase income and will live as frugally as possible moving forwards. Being organised really helps with staying focused. Us survivors CAN make it....

      @merl7972 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@oliverbuddy6784 For me personally, I was always into technology (gaming, but also the hardware side of things), so it was a natural avenue for me to explore.
      I started out in helpdesk and went down the technical track, but over time I realized that my soft skills were my differentiator, not my technical ability (others on my team were MUCH more adept at troubleshooting / developing / etc). That made me switch to pre-sales technical engineering, which is where I'm at now.
      For people who don't have that obvious interest, my suggestion typically is something like this: Find some companies in your area that are mid-sized (so not your mom and pop shop, but also not Microsoft). Hop on their job boards, glassdoor, linkedin. Find as many people as possible, look at their job titles and what they put into Linkedin for what they do. Your goal isn't to apply for those jobs, but to instead find something that catches your eye. Once you have some job titles that seems like you like, start doing research on them. You should be able to identify a "north star" / goal for you out of those, and then just connect the dots with what skills you have now vs what skills various jobs like that require.
      Not sure if that helps, but happy to chat more if that doesn't make sense. Its not perfect, but its the best I've come up with.

    Only things I don't pay for is life insurance and health insurance (dad has a policy for me until 25), a car (I work from home, so no need for an auto loan, car insurance or gas expenses, I Uber where I need to go).

    For the stage 4-5 and even low 6, you might decide to keep working for a few reasons. As you point out it is fairly optional, but health insurance isn't cheap, particularly in the US and above 40. There are also often other benefits that multiply your savings since you don't have to replace all of that plus your income and other benefits/bonuses. The good news though is you don't really fear losing your job. Another reason you might stick around is the tax incentive. If you are nearly 50 and thinking of sticking around 5 years is ok, the rule of 55 on your 401k will save you quite a bit (no 10% WD penalty, access to tax-free Roth 401k money). If you don't want to do all that, looking into other (cheaper) countries for early retirement might also be worth considering, as many include good health care when you are a resident.

The only way I can think of doing that is not buying fancy cars again, and saving more money, managing my money, and selling my car, as well as starting my retirement fund.

    Im 30 and I'd be stage 3 since I don't own a house yet. Car is paid off, student loans being paid off this year. Focusing on in increasing my literacy and furthering my career. Haven't really worried about bills in awhile. I'm probably overpaying on insurance

    i would say that i'm at level 4 , however it feels like, as long as I live poor I have a lot of money, I.E. ( roman noodles, cooking at home, no vacations, only shop at thrift stores. no eating out, no new car. no beef/hamburger 😂 ect. ) but the second i start spending, the whole thing will come crashing down.
    ever since COVID they started paying 18yr old's +$30/hr with (no experience). ( this has caused massive inflation). im 57 and it took me a life time to get to that level.
    its starting to feel like im being screwed by the system again.

    Excellent video, Humphrey! I was wondering if you had any data or studies that show which levels of wealth provide people with the happiest and/or most fulfilled lives. At least for me, that would make it easier to decide where I want to aim.

    Somewhere between 3 and 4.

I was thinking all the time about how bad my sitauation was etc etc but i figure im easily standing in 2nd level slowly moving into 3rd. Im not going to slow down, but i feel a lot calmer right now. Just thinking about how much time i still have and that im basically just at the very beginning. Thanks for this video

    I’m 22, approaching the near end of step 2, I’ll be graduating undergrad next year in December and thankfully I only have 2 credit cards (just got a cc that required an excellent credit score range) but all paid off as I don’t spend much at all, no car payments, $1000 retirement fund, $1000 EMS fund, only a student loan that I can immediately pay if I get a full time job, no health insurance. If the Lord blesses me with a full time job, within 3-4 months no more student debt and since I will seek the most frugal lifestyle, I’m hopeful that once I make it to a year of working, I’ll be at stage 3 :))

My parents never let me starve, but If I had enough money I was paying for myself rather than wasting theirs

    Nice to see the break down. I am surprised for a guy like myself who makes only $45K/yr and with no debts. I fit in between Level 3 & almost to a level 4 category. Thanks for this video it gave me a little confidence boost to know even if a person like myself who makes less can still be able to grow my income with good lifestyle habits, several savings account, and patience with my investments.
