      I got 2 cc at 18. Paid them off every month and they claimed I didn't ruining my score for a decade :D great advice. These companies don't want us to have good scores and will lie to make sure we don't

      I have a honey bee farm so I am planning using us farm loans and farm programs to expand my land holdings. I want to build a fair size lavender farm that could make my honey worth more plus expand the cosmetic stuff I make to sell.

      The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.

    • @checkforme234

      This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800k

    I think the ideas and concepts of this video are great and a good start to work towards financial freedom.
    That said, perhaps I missed the part where you can go from $0 nest egg to retirement in 7 years. If you invest at a 8% return for 7 years. You would need to invest approximately $9300/month. Or just $111k/ per year. That seems very unlikely for the vast majority of people (to invest/save $111k per year). It is briefly touched on at the end. But I feel like the title is for views/clickbait.

    • @DavidEVogel

    • @wgemini4422
      @wgemini4422 2 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      It is a lot worse than that. Based on the 25x rule, if you contribute $111K/year and assume you save 50% of your gross income (which is next to impossible), you will need $5.55M to retire. With 8% return, you will need 21 years for that. And mathematically, it doesn't matter how much you save, as long as you follow the 25x rule and save 50%, the result is the same. In order to do it in 7 years, you will need 51% annual return.

      @islandsfuldkorn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      It is true that the numbers seem skewed, but it is possible to do within say 10 years or so. If you live on a tight budget for a few years, and work either overtime or start a side hustle and work more than the average person, and invest in good index funds that don't give back only 7% but morel likely 10-12%, like the S&P, than we are getting close to our retirement level.

After finding your channel I've had a lot more confidence and less stress in getting by because no one else was offering the kind of information you had in your videos. I sure wish I found these videos sooner because I'd have been in a position to begin some part of freedom, but after getting older it helps you make effective decisions and fall-back options. Thanks for looking out for people despite being wealthy yourself, there's such a negative stigma behind people having a lot of money because people always get jealous or envious but putting some of the advice into practice has already helped me so I know it's genuine.

    You have a lot of great points and ideas. The only thing I would disagree about is I personally feel any debt is dangerous and should be avoided. But I know guys who have made money leveraging it so it's all about your willingness to take on a certain amount of risk. I love your multiple income streams, that is a brilliant idea and much easier for most people to do than they think. Sometimes the simplest and most obvious ideas take someone to point them out to us before we realize they are there!

    In Canada the form of tax free retirement plans are called an RRSP, you can invest a certain amount per year based on your income and it wont be taxed until you remove it. You can also open a TFSA which is a Tax Free Savings account, you are able to put in how ever much the government says(it is the same amount for everyone) currently you can put $6000 CAD into your account per year. both of these are tax free options for investing if you live in Canada(even if your not a citizen, but there are some other walls)

      I'm 56 now. It took several years and many jobs later to get to where our annual expenses are 50% of my net income. Everything takes time. So if you are saying that you still have debt that amounts to 16% of your net income then you are getting close. So kudos for that. I read a book when I was 27. "The Millionaire Next Door". That book taught me how not to spend my money. By 34 I was debt free. Then I got a married. The plan was to save for 5 years to buy a house cash but my wife wouldn't listen to my logic. Now WE have only $149,000 left to pay it off. Even though WE could theoretically pay it off in the next 3 years WE had to put that plan on hold. Because my daughter is off to school and we are paying it all so she doesn't start her career in debt. So it will take a little longer to pay off the home. But we have no credit card debt, no auto loans, no using our home equity to borrow any money. We live well but we don't waste any money on impulses or things that lose value over time. Hopefully no suprises in the next 4 years!

At 56, I have $42,000 in CDs and $9,000 in an IRA. That’s making $12-16,000 a year. If you can say NO to buying things and eating out for a few years, you can do it too.

    I have found paying off the debt with the lowest balance is the best way to go. You will end up potentially paying a little more interest but seeing card by card of credit line by credit line fall away and leaving extra actual cash flow every month (even if that money goes right onto another debt) is very motivating rather than spreading them out evenly for a long long time. in fact you may, like me find that after one or 2 are paid off you are even more motivated for the next one.

But when I got out of school 4 had balances. Paying the equal on all 4 seemed OK but it seemed to go way faster and ibwas much more motivated by knocking them off smallest to largest.

    While trying to build income and prepare for retirement, It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold up in inflationary environments.

    The biggest problem with these steps is worrying about a great credit score/paying down huge debt. Contrary to popular belief, you can not only live comfortably without credit, it also supports healthy spending habits, which supports investing early and often. I havent checked my credit score in over 30 years and could care less what it is. It hasnt stopped me from owning multiple homes, land, & cars over that time. You dont need to "pay down high interest creditors/debt" if you dont fall victim to the credit trap in the first place. Pay cash or dont buy it, and dont buy it unless its a NEED, not a WANT, theres a big difference. Keeping up with the Joneses just puts you in debt like them and perpetuates the credit slavery cycle.

Then when you can afford to play with the share market. Passive income like ecommerce and drop shipping is that over saturated you’ll never make money from it unless you are using an original idea that people will actually buy.

    A thought I had about the extreme amount of young people living paycheck to paycheck: perhaps it has become more clear that the economy itself is a bad longterm investment and people feel powerless in securing their futures even if they were to pursue financial investment. It is inevitable that the global economy will collapse at some point, and even as someone who is interested in investing and knows exactly what my "freedom figure" would be (although I calculated it differently than you did in this video since my aim would be to invest as soon as possible in real resources that could enable a healthy and fulfilling life WITHOUT economic dependence), I still constantly consider that all modern currency could lose its value before I reach my "freedom figure" even if I am investing 90% of my capital into growing wealth. It is quite discouraging trying to build a stable personal foundation on an unstable cultural foundation.

      He doesn't say how he made money. A lot of what he says for other people to do would take a decade. For example, how did he clear all his debts with exhorbant interest rates in such a short time? Was he dealing drugs? He does not give any specific advice on what to do or how, or base on different income levels. It's as if everyone is making 6 figure salaries and just pissing their money away on credit cards.

    My main job and very lucrative sideline went bust on the first weeks of Covid, so it was time to dust myself off and look for something else.
    But living in a tourist orientated town meant that 80% of the town was out of work and younger people with families trying to survive.
    But it took nearly a year to be so desperate and all my savings gone to turn to Crypto.
    It now brings in more money than my taxi and my Touring business.
