      A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

      @benfulford3943 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

      The 100k number is completely arbitrary. The concept of compounding works exactly the same whether it is 100, 1000, 100k or a million. If you can only afford to put a tenner away each month, it's still going to take you 7 years (@ 8%) to get to a grand and then will reduce down accordingly in the same way as if you are putting 1k away each month will take you the same amount of time to get to 100k.
      We see it so much on finance TH-cam cos munger said it, while it is an important lesson about compounding the figure is completely irrelevant and is scalable in proportion to the amount people can afford to save.

Today, I'm 53 and have a decent $1.2M nest egg. After learning all of this, my only regret is not starting earlier when I was 25.

    My next goal is to save up the deposit to buy the house next door. I bought a tiny home just for me 1.5 years ago with £5k which needed a lot of work but I got it on a 5% mortgage which allowed me to move out of rental. I’ve been doing it up ever since and just got a cooker (I was on a camping stove before). Lots of people have said to me they would never do up a home or live somewhere half finished or sleep on an air bed for 6 months. Most are too used to being comfortable, building wealth is slow and unless you have lots of options or family with money you need to make sacrifices … worth it in the end 😅 brilliant tips as always, although that isn’t my goal for now your videos always give me lots to consider! ❤

    So glad to have found you, Nischa. You talk so much common sense. You wanted to know so here goes: I got out of the rental scene at a very young age (23, I'm now 59) and bought a supreme handy-man special home for only 29K in 1987. This forced me to learn plumbing, electrical work, sheet rock, flooring, and everything else because my house needed everything. I got my first decent job (25K back then) a year later and contributed 15% of my salary to a company 401K and an equal amount into a Roth IRA. When I transferred jobs to another state 5 years later my realtor advised me that the bank approved me for a 130K house so I bought a 69K house and paid off the mortgage in about 7 years. The mortgage payments now went to my Roth IRA and the stock market. I never had cable TV, my phone plan is only $14 a month, I never had a car payment, and I rarely had to hire anyone to do anything because of all the repair skills I gained along the way. I also learned how to tune and rebuild pianos along the way a had a successful side business for 10 years of that time. I love your videos. I hope to keep learning.

      you could have invested it and made another 100k within a couple of years and then bought a house. but now you are stuck paying the principle and interest on a mortgage. you could have taken some of the dividends from your investments to offset your interest on the mortgage in an offset account or in extra repayments, or let it continue to compound by reinvesting the dividends. either way, buying the house first made it harder for you to get the next 100k into investments that will earn passive income. i dont think you have comprehended the power of compounding at 100k. sure its not enough to live off, but you can get to 1 million this way within 30 years easily just reinvesting the dividends. At that point you will be able to live comfortably just off the dividends and no longer need to work. Or continue to reinvest it and set your bloodline up.

  • @liam70457
    @liam70457 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Great video Nischa! I've just started this goal, as I live with my parents, my idea is to save around 20k into an index fund before moving. I'm basing it on a 10% average of over 10 years, with a yearly deposit of 2.5 to 3K thereafter, the initial deposit will be difficult but once this is achieved, the yearly deposits are possible whilst still living a good lifestyle. Time also plays a big factor for the compounding to do the hard work!

    • @palmtree-e2l

    I've had the most success investing in properties, but haven't had as much luck with the stock market. With my first $100,000, I'm still trying to determine the best approach for a second job. I own two rental properties, but the income they generate is still significantly less than what I earn from my primary job. I would need five properties similar to them to match my current salary, or I'd need a second job to supplement my income. I have a passion for luxury bags and shoes; they genuinely bring me joy. I'm willing to cut back on other expenses. My home is very minimalist, and I don't travel frequently.

    as someone that hit that mark recently, i can say one other way is to look at what you waste money on, even the little stuff matters, like lets say you do the euromils for £2.50 and do the 2 a week, thats just 20 quid a month so seems like nothing, however over your working life (45 years) if you put that in a high yeild account of 5% (investing may return more etc etc) you`d save 11k of your own money and it would be worth 40k. fwiw if you looked at 8% return with investing over the same time period its 100k value, you can apply this to anything thats a fiver a week like your coffee, going for one less pint etc etc, the little tweaks can have large results given time,

    Here is my issue if you can call it that. We are 100% debt free, have an income of 250K a year. (wife still works) I was raised dirt poor like so many other Americans. I'm uncomfortable being comfortable. I always had to give something up to get something but no longer have to do that anymore. I find it difficult to buy things or enjoy this new freedom the past year and half. I'm 59 and wife is 62 and have a great retirement saved, awesome Investment portfolio and Pension coming in. How do i get past being frugal still and start to change the way we think after living and earning and building wealth for 5 decades+. Hard to think that we could go on a $15-20k vacation and not even notice it gone but my brain says don't do it you may need it someday. What can i do to help change that mind set?

    One thing that perhaps needs mentioning here is the effects of not being single. In some cases this can be positive, having another person adding to the asset growth. In other cases, like mine, it can be quite negative with the partner basically being a tax on your savings - I think I basically lose15% of my earnings over and above the increase in living costs. The moral of the story is choose partners as wisely as you can.

    Just a question, where is this £100k? I have over £100k in equity in my mortgage for example. Which is where I have been concentrating most. Equally, I am pretty close to £100k in my pension. And another £35k or so in my companies share scheme. So none of that is "really" open to me choosing where to invest that money. So should I start another fund with a view to getting to this £100k? In a stocks & shares ISA for example? I am guessing my money is probably better invested more into my pension due to the Government tax breaks available here. For example, I was considering considerable uplift in pension contributions, then investing the annual HMRC tax returns into an ISA. But this would take a significant amount of time to get the ISA to 100k (~15 years). Would I be better splitting that investment between pension and ISA then? Or am I basically on track here, as overall I'll be closer to £250k of "investment" at this stage?

I'm not just talking about ability to multiply, but the fact you know exactly what to do next time. My way was similar - increasing main income, projects on the side, living below and compounding. I had success with everything, because I'm very cautious. I'm not going to do something that I'm not resonably sure that would work. It needs much more effort and time every day though.
