Every crash/collapse brings with it an equivalent market chance if you are early informed and equipped, I've seen folks amass up to $1m amid economy crisis, and even pull it off easily in favorable conditions. Unequivocally, the collapse is getting somebody somewhere rich.
I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts with experience since the 08' crash.
The issue is people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt. Ideally, advisors are reps for investing jobs, and at first-hand encounter, my portfolio has yielded over 300% since 2020 just after the pandemic to date.
i'm blown away! mind sharing more info please? i am a young adult living in Miami where i've encountered several millionaires, and my goal is to become one as well.
NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE' is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I do the same thing. I have a spreadsheet dashboard that tracks my finances and every year (for the past 10 years) I’ve recorded the number. I started with £644 in 2014. It’s now £100,000+
4:37 - Easier to copy the list of descriptions in the category column and paste as values, remove duplicates in the data header and use 'SUMIFS', =SUMIFS(D:D,F:F,$I2). Way easier and less manual work. Or create a pivot table
It is easier to use a pivot table and see the sum of all your expenses than to try and create complicated calculations. Also, you should add subcategories ie. Essential -> Sub-category Food. That way you can pivot your table on the category and then if needed break down everything into a sub-category and see where you over/under spent!
Lol - my excel knowledge is deficient and this was the format I created when I first did this - but thanks for noting that this would probably be better!! Once you have the format though, you can just copy and paste it for new spending each year, so not a huge deal! Hopefully the overall system and way of looking at your finances was helpful though 🤗

Investing in mutual funds offers a structured and diversified approach to building wealth, managed by professional fund managers. While there are costs and some limitations, the benefits of diversification, professional management, and ease of access make mutual funds a popular choice for achieving a variety of financial goals.
Exactly, I used to doubt the value of a financial advisor until my wife's company assigned her an investment adviser in 2020. Honestly, it’s been the best financial decision I’ve made. It helped tremendously; I went from barely making any profit to having a well-diversified portfolio that has grown significantly, with gains exceeding $850k.
My CFA is Karen Marie Gendron, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
This is amazing and seems a worthwhile effort. However, as a lawyer from across the pond, the expenditures are striking between the two comparative markets (London vs NYC/Philly suburb). Our mortgage, obtained when rates were low, is $2500 and includes insurance and property tax; 2 bedroom rentals are $2100 per month at a minimum (plus electric (200+), gas (40), water (50), sewer (30), trash pickup (20), lawn or maintenance service(50)). Food expenses are significantly higher, for groceries and take out (you have several different food categories, but based on the total of non essentials, that amount would cover lunch out at work for the month. Forget pizza night!). Mobile is $100-200 a month; TV/internet/subscriptions around $250 monthly. And at $50, you could only get your hair cut three times a year! A man's cut is $20 with tip. I know the pound has more purchasing power, but wow! Also, very impressed with your low spending on "goods." Any Americans have ideas on cutting expenses?
@@SoulRBG I suppose if you are splitting the rent or renting a room it's possible. But even assuming a 50% tax rate, he only needs to make 80k quid per year in a high end market to live comfortably. I think American metro areas have a much higher cost of living.
My mortgage (ldonon lawyer) was about US$120,000 a year at one point ( at its very worst), however so it depends your life stage (we have children, a bigger house etc). My broadband as I pay for two accounts is about US$260 a month. And once you have children in the US and UK the costs go sky high - 50% of our net salaries in first year of the baby in the 1980s and one of my children pays about US$78k a year divided by her and her spouse so half each but still a vast sum just to be able to work because of UK Government very very high employer taxes on top of the wage page.
One thing I do is identify the recurring items, such as subscriptions, the annual renewals, the budget/forecasts, you would need to up your excel skills to do that. I like the auto-investing, it ensures that the fund(s) are topped up, so you don't miss the money. It also leaves you to focus on other priorities such as career, health, etc. as the funds make the decisions on what to buy and sell. Over the years, I have lost a lot on poor timing as I was distracted by other demands. You are very fortunate to have such a high salary, it's wise to save lots while you can. Beware of property, it is entering a very risky ear due to the changing tax environment, it also can take a lot of your time, particularly if you are not familiar with methods used by the more experienced.
Thank you for your openness with regarding your personal finances. It makes it a lot easier to understand and it is nothing which I consider to take for granted.
The legend is back. Thank you for pushing me to go and apply for vacation schemes when they open in September any tips on them especially for clifford chance would be amazing ❤

Hi Liam, interested to know if you use credit cards for your day to day spending to take advantage of bonuses/points or whether all of the spending shown in the video is using debit cards? Or what your general view on this is. Thanks
I have the same question. As I would have to run this exercise using Credit Card data, if that is even possible to download in CSV format. Surely you are losing lots of benefits by not using a credit card?
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2025, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks this year. Hope to make millions this 2024.
It's crucial to have a well-thought-out strategy and not make impulsive moves based on short-term market fluctuations. You should consider a market expert to guide you.
It's true that many people minimize the importance of advisers until their own feelings burn them out. A few summers ago, following a protracted divorce, I needed a significant boost to keep my business afloat. I looked for licensed advisors and found someone with the highest qualifications. She has contributed to my reserve increasing from $275k to $850k despite inflation.
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?
Melissa Elise Robinson is the coach that guides me, She has years of financial market experience, you can use something else but for me her strategy works hence my result. She provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.
Another great video, thank you. Is there any chance you could consider a video, or a Q&A video regarding what someone aspiring to a corporate law degree should be looking for: A levels, Duke of Edinburgh, good uni's that firms look for, the need dor internships etc ?
I used to do a complete financial analysis every quarter, categorized everything, balanced my check book bi-weekly, etc. I spent hours knowing exactly where every penny of my $$ was coming from & where it was going (expenses by category, savings, investments). Then one day I realized that I knew w/i $2-$5 range the numbers that mattered most without this effort. So, now I save that time waste doing other things & enjoying life w/o worry.
Yes. As humans...we are creatures of habit. So without any extra events or abnormal situations occurring, we literally spend about the same each month. If your food bill was $400 last month it's more than likely not you're not gonna spend $800 the next. It's usually gonna be a small range. And other expenses like mortgage and utilities are pretty much fixed costs.
Did you categorise everything manually, Liam? I use Monzo and you can preset categories on the app, and then when you export it, it's all done for you :D
Can you please do a video on paying off your student loan plan 2, I'm a high earner and I know that it is the right thing at 8% interest compounding monthly but I can't bring myself to start paying it down as everyone tells you not to. This is due to it wiping in 30 years, the govt can change the terms at any point and it's income contingent. Trouble is I'm looking at paying £100k for my degree, if I start paying it down early it will cost £66k. Both options aren't great but it would be good to hear your thoughts as I know you've started to pay yours down. Thank you so much x
If you're a higher earner and expect to remain a high earner then it's a debt not a tax so pay it off ASAP. Rules can change but given state of the public purse it's highly unlikely that changes will be favourable
Used to do the same for years with transactions, then just decided to pay for Snoop subscription (Emma and other similar ones would do the trick) - save myself hours of work
Great video - thnx Excel wise, you can highlight the entire row, copy it, then go on data tab and remove duplicates, you will have a condensed list. Can then simplifying/speed up the sumif: change =SUMIF(F:F,”Bank Fees”,D:D) to =SUMIF(F:F,I3,D:D) and drag it down. Could also insert a pivot table. How do you categorise stuff that you have no idea what it is (i.e. random shop in a different city 9 months ago)? Aldi etc is easy but there are some random descriptions about like "izettle" Also be interested on your views on student loan for average salary graduates. Clearly makes sense for you to chip away at yours as you will pay it off anyway and save on the interest
Hey George, thanks so much for this - lawyers don’t excel, so appreciate that the excel steps could be streamlined! Still hope the overall system and way of looking at your finances was helpful 🤗 I generally categorise all foreign currency transactions (assuming I’m not living abroad!) as holiday. If there is stuff I have no idea about, I take a reasonable guess at the spending, but it is very rare that there is a material expense for > £100 that I can’t figure out in a minute or two based on the date and my iPhone calendar 🤗
And on student loans - if you are not confident you will pay the whole thing off within 15-30 years, I wouldn’t ever overpay. You will lose the present value of your cash overpaying it, and then also likely never actually see the gain of getting more of your pay check into your account each month 😊 Beth, for example, has left hers and will likely never pay it off!
This is pointless when you can just pay a few dollars a month to easily see your spending across your accounts. This is way too time-consuming for the average bloke.
Because my excel knowledge is deficient and this was the format I created when I first did this - but thanks for noting that this would probably be better!! Once you have the format though, you can just copy and paste it for new spending each year, so not a huge deal! Hopefully the overall system and way of looking at your finances was helpful though!

I reckon you're losing as much interest as you are gaining, Liam. I used to be subbed but hit the button again for this reason; it just makes videos feel like a let down. Be true to yourself and be true to those that support you. Bye mate.
The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market. It's tricky during election years. I recently inherited a lump sum and want to invest it wisely. Any tips or strategies to take advantage of this potential upswing?
imho, the average person finds it difficult outperforming the market on a day-to-day basis. In actuality, most people who have the necessary abilities are advisors with experience since the '08 crash and beyond
Agreed, I once downplayed the role of financial experts until suffering 40% portfolio loss amid 2020 lockdown, at once I consulted a pro and my portfolio was revamped thankfully. As of today, I'm just about 10% shy of my $1m goal after 100s of thousands invested.
My CFA *Julianne Iwersen-Niemann* a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
Thanks for the info. I searched for her full name and found her website right away. I reviewed her credentials and did my research before reaching out to her.
So many poeple saying there are apps that will categorise this automatically. And I kinda disagree. While you can connect your bank accounts to such apps, they will miss a lot of categorisations, creating inaccurate reports. But most importantly, I feeling counting this manually gives me a good sense and realisation of what's going on with my finances. Whereas if I automate it, I tend to forget about it. It's so (or not so) satisfying adding a spending of +200 bucks in clothes and realising you didn't need them, so you can take action and stop overspending in clothing
Also a biglaw associate, although not a junior, here. Your approach is way too tedious. No wonder you can’t do this more than once a year. I do this monthly. Pay for a finance app. There are plenty around and not that expensive. Otherwise, learn to excel. For example, you could’ve listed unique from your categories and then make your sumif pull from that column and just drag down to automate everything at once. Learning to excel makes it so much faster
Not to be a “hater” as I like your content and don’t wish anyone any bad vibes but that is 0.082% of your annual expenditure awarded to charity. The fact that you have even bothered to categorise it at all is revealing. Also I would never split the rent with my partner if he had a job that could sufficiently cover it.
Hey! As per the on-screen note, almost all of my giving is through my business 🤗 Beth and I split the rent and I pay all of our bills - just how we do it 😃
What's the problem if he chose not to give to charity, out of interest? He's paying a 47% marginal rate of income tax, so is making a far greater contribution to society (from an economic perspective) than most
All these "millionaires" are so charitable they spend every waking moment on you tube, with the rasp voice explaining to the rest of us how simple it is... All these you tube millionaire are bullshit, if they were so rich they wouldnt be peddling it on you tube.

@@liam.porritt thanks for answering liam. did not meant to sound shaming or anything. i hate that aspect of youtube, even though i completely understand that side for creators. good luck and keep it up with your content ❤️
@@liam.porritt I see nothing wrong with the title, would help if you added in a minute of, based on current projects I'll have my net worth of a million by 2029...? And explain how this exercise connects to that. Currently a "slight" disconnnect between title and content. Otherwise. Great Video!
I reckon you're losing as much interest as you are gaining, Liam. I used to be subbed but hit the button again for this reason; it just makes videos feel like a let down. Be true to yourself and be true to those that support you. Bye mate.
Just one word: Monzo
The market's direction can swiftly change, with indexes frequently transitioning from a bear market to a bull market. It's tricky during election years. I recently inherited a lump sum and want to invest it wisely. Any tips or strategies to take advantage of this potential upswing?
imho, the average person finds it difficult outperforming the market on a day-to-day basis. In actuality, most people who have the necessary abilities are advisors with experience since the '08 crash and beyond
Agreed, I once downplayed the role of financial experts until suffering 40% portfolio loss amid 2020 lockdown, at once I consulted a pro and my portfolio was revamped thankfully. As of today, I'm just about 10% shy of my $1m goal after 100s of thousands invested.
bravo! mind sharing details of your advisor please? my job doesn't permit me the time to analyze stocks myself
My CFA *Julianne Iwersen-Niemann* a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further... She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market..
Thanks for the info. I searched for her full name and found her website right away. I reviewed her credentials and did my research before reaching out to her.
So many poeple saying there are apps that will categorise this automatically. And I kinda disagree.
While you can connect your bank accounts to such apps, they will miss a lot of categorisations, creating inaccurate reports. But most importantly, I feeling counting this manually gives me a good sense and realisation of what's going on with my finances. Whereas if I automate it, I tend to forget about it. It's so (or not so) satisfying adding a spending of +200 bucks in clothes and realising you didn't need them, so you can take action and stop overspending in clothing
Looks like a lot of work. Easiest and most efficient way to do it is in Notion.
Use finary
How about buy properties in auction, house flip and sell? It works down here in Brazil.
Also a biglaw associate, although not a junior, here.
Your approach is way too tedious. No wonder you can’t do this more than once a year. I do this monthly.
Pay for a finance app. There are plenty around and not that expensive.
Otherwise, learn to excel. For example, you could’ve listed unique from your categories and then make your sumif pull from that column and just drag down to automate everything at once. Learning to excel makes it so much faster
Sir i am going to pursue my llb in uk can you please give me some advices personally
You will need to improve your English writing.
I love your videos to watch. They are so inspiring and informative 😊❤
Thank you so much!
Time Stamps man?
Added now!! Sorry and thanks! 🤗
So after all that you don't even show us the breakdown of your assets 😂 what was the point?
125,000 pounds a year? Geeeez
Does help that you’re on £150k+ per year. I would be a millionaire within 7 years on that salary and multi within 10
your excel skill is embarrassing
Not to be a “hater” as I like your content and don’t wish anyone any bad vibes but that is 0.082% of your annual expenditure awarded to charity. The fact that you have even bothered to categorise it at all is revealing. Also I would never split the rent with my partner if he had a job that could sufficiently cover it.
Maybe she wants to contribute and not be reliant on a man
Hey! As per the on-screen note, almost all of my giving is through my business 🤗 Beth and I split the rent and I pay all of our bills - just how we do it 😃
What's the problem if he chose not to give to charity, out of interest? He's paying a 47% marginal rate of income tax, so is making a far greater contribution to society (from an economic perspective) than most
Bank fees, that bank can go pound sand.
All these "millionaires" are so charitable they spend every waking moment on you tube, with the rasp voice explaining to the rest of us how simple it is... All these you tube millionaire are bullshit, if they were so rich they wouldnt be peddling it on you tube.
