That's awesome. Now wait until you can do the same with your mortgage. I put over 30% a month into investments. As you liberate yourself from more and more debt you're able to do some really cool things. Keep it up!

Totally agree with Dave! Bond yields are so terrible at the moment and in major downturns they go down with stocks as well so you might as well stay on offense!
Mainly agree , but if something dumps big time at 30 you can recover...At 75 or 80 do you or can you go back to work and earn a income to recharge your savings
By what we’re seeing in society nowadays, I would almost suggest nobody stops working unless physical or mental impediment. Even if it’s part time but to remain active is beneficial health wise, this will reduce risk of financial issues and actually improve them... A lot of people when they retire unfortunately succumb to a huge lifestyle change they’re not used to.

Dave can tolerate the risk of a 100% equity portfolio even as he ages...he also has a wonderful income, a portfolio of paid for residential and commercial real estate, owns profitable companies.
Heads up, bonds are not risk free either...I know people who had half there money in bonds during 2008-2009 and were on the verge of retirement and they dropped value just like everything else--nothing is guaranteed, and Dave is not the only financial person to say this on investing the way he does, and they didn't learn it from him either....
Most mere mortals cannot risk everything in stocks when they are at or near retirement age. A fifty percent drop in value can happen and someone on the edge will end up eating Alpo.
I don’t agree. If you’re 80, don’t invest in risky things because if there’s another 2008, you might not live to see the recovery. A 65 year old can still deliver pizza. A 95 year old, less likely to be healthy enough to go back to work. Of course, some 50 year olds are sicker than some 80 year olds. But overall, the closer to death the less uncertainty you want.
it's all about risk, not age...an 80 year old grandma can tolerate a 100% equity portfolio if she owns her house, maybe a couple rental properties free and clear, some farm ground that pays cash rent, etc.
In case you’re wondering , Vanguard (the index fund pioneers) recently released new research that proves staying 100% equity for life is actually the most likely to survive vs a standard 60/40.
30 to 60 is not the same as 60 to 90 because the older 30 is retired, and is at higher risk if it loses it's nest egg. The 30 to 60 can still work and replace what it has lost, which is why it's usually in higher risk.
Same thought I had. And at the point you are retired so therefore you should want your balance to be stable and safe. And btw it will still earn money even with bond exposure.
The 60 to 90 can also still work. In fact, it is very beneficial to remain active in your golden years, and there are plenty of studies and data to back that up. There was a news article not too long ago about a doctor who is, I believe, 103 years old, and he's still working. My grandmother worked until her eighties as a meatpacker. My grandfather worked until his mid seventies as a carpenter and stone mason. My oldest uncle is in his seventies, and he is a forklift mechanic. My three other uncles who are in their sixties are all contractors. I also know two eighty year old truck drivers. If you remain active, then you can live a long time and continue contributing to your nest egg. This is one of the few times where I actually agree with Dave Ramsey on his investment advice. You work hard for your money, so you want your money to work hard for you, so that means stay the heck out of bonds. They will eat away at your portfolio like a cancer.
I'm 49, so I have a while to go before I have to make the decision about how to invest money when I'm at retirement age. At this stage, I'm leaning towards dividing up my nest egg into 3 portions - growth funds, balanced funds, and term deposits. I hear what Dave says, but I'm also worried about a shock happening to the financial market (like the global financial crisis), and I don't have the time available in retirement to ride out the recovery.
As you get older move to low cost Index fund ETF. Mutual funds are only there to eat your money in feese. Show me one mutual fund that has outperformed the Index in 10 years after all the fees.
I wouldn't buy an ETF. Just consider an indexed mutual fund. Fees are just as low, but it doesn't offer you the temptation to make trades throughout the day. Also, it enables you to do auto-investing (something ETFs will not allow you to do).
I was helping my grandmother look over her investment account and I was amazed at how much money she has missed out on because her financial advisor had her in bonds for the past 10 years. She lives off the account and it’s worth half of what it was now.
Gradually reduce your risks as you age. That's the prudent thing to do. There is no guarantee everyone will live to 90. Don't gamble with your life savings when you are of senior age. Better be safe than sorry.
I don't want to be safe and I'm getting very rewarded for my efforts. I spend far less than I earn on my investments each year, and the amount I can spend has gone up considerably.
Pay attention all you mouth breathers! THIS is how you call in to a radio show with a question: poised, thorough, thought out, to the point, and without audible pauses.
Tell that to people who though they were going to retire in 2009. There are life cycle funds that gradually become safer as you get closer to what ever goal you set. You could pick a time frame in your 70s if you want. Also it’s not a give that you will live to 70, 80, or 90. Then one must consider over all quality of life. If you want to live like a peasant most of your life so that you can live large during your golden years have at it. My main focus is my kids quality of life growing up not when I’m elderly. As long as I’m financially good to ensure I’m not a burden to my kids and I set my kids off to a great start in life then that is success.

What if you're 58 with a pension but haven't started investing in mutual funds yet? What do you start with then? It was recommended to us to invest primarily in moderate growth. Is that good advice? Clearly I need to learn how all of this works...sooner rather than later.
How does Mr Dave view funds that are specifically focused on technology?Or other funds that are more focused on one and the same industry? Regards Robin
@@gblyndensrandomreviews well, that depends on the average maturity of the bond portfolio. If it's mainly long term, then yes, could get killed if current rates rise.
I’ve been waiting for someone to ask him this question to see what he comes up with as a response. I expected him to talk about higher average performance of stocks relative to other investments, or the idea that by being debt free you’ve effectively lowered you risk to the point that 100% stocks acts to balance out. Instead, he incorrectly defined terms to misinform his listeners.
This is a great video and I wish that Dave would spend a lot more time translating what some of these terms are because when I go to look for the mutual funds that hes talking about their called something completely different and I have no idea what hes talking about
He uses American Funds (it's a brand). He uses the language they use. Not that I'm recommending their funds (they're largely load funds), but if you went and looked at their funds you'd see name types you recognize.
Would be surprising on this channel but he himself has said his way isn’t the only way it’s just what worked for him so he teaches it and it’s obvious helped many. Millions of others have used diff investing plans and are very wealthy incl an older wealthier mult gen ‘old money’ friend he shared a plane with who called his investment plan ‘new money’.

Disagree. As the old saying goes, "common sense isn't all too common." Everybody wants to be special and thinks they can do better than the conventional wisdom.
Dude has no clue what he's talking about and just makes up a strawman to argue against in order to pretend to be smart. Nobody at all claims that people should sell all their stocks and go with all bonds. What is rightly said is that you move to a moderate investment profile to enable the account to continue getting growth while also being able to avoid taking the full brunt of market volatility. Also, the caller is silly for saying that he wants the portfolio that the advisor has with their family, because he's looking for a cookie-cutter approach that is invalid -- investment strategies must be personalized. Dave doesn't know anything about investment himself, so he laughs along with a guy who doesn't know better and feels validated in saying he tells everyone to do whatever he does. Well, Dave isn't liquidating his investments, isn't close to liquidating his investments, and may never do so in his lifetime prior to his heirs inheriting the accounts; in the meantime, the caller is gonna risk running out of money quickly trying to go all-in with the advice of someone who has no expertise on the matter just because he likes being told what he wants to hear rather than what he needs to.
Aggressive/Emergency ==small cap International/Global Growth fund==S&P 500, mid cap Growth & income= blue chip, large cap fund. Traditional switches to bonds over time
An S&P500 is definitely a large cap fund. Literally all 505 companies in the S&P500 are considered large cap. Not sure how when you add them all up they turn into a mid-cap. Ironically, I've heard the term "blue chip" used as a synonym for an "S&P500 firm"
Dave Ramsey "what I do is right I'm rich". All the empirical data "doesn't work for everyone". Me "yeah I can live off my multi million dollar business and real estate just like Dave* 🥴
You clearly didn’t watch the video, because you must have missed the part where he explained his position, referencing the 30 years that a “safe” portfolio would be outpaced by inflation, and that you should never drain the principle. It was hardly a, “do what I say because I’m rich...” answer.

So on years when your all equity and lionshare growth portfolio is in the red and you're 100% retired is it back to work, eat into your principal, or is there a third possibility I'm missing? Writing options perhaps?
Why is John on every show now?
They are developing personalities on the show for when Dave eventually steps away from it down the road.
@@kkplayrush Yep, Dave won't keep doing this forever, but the work will continue. They need time to develop all these personalities, work the kinks out, and have them ready to stand on their own by the time Dave feels like just being a 'guest' on his own show.
Because so many of the calls Dave gets now are relational and have nothing to do with dollars and cents. So they brought in a relationship guy to help field those questions.
He actually has his own show too (which very often has nothing to do with actual money questions). I recommend a listen.
@@colin1818 im familiar with his work. Thats why i dont understand why hes always on the show. Hes not a financial guy he is more like a dr phil type of guy.
John is channel is like loveline. After Dave there is a super huge drop in talent.
The fact the dave compared an SP500 Index fund to a mid-cap fund shows he really doesn't understand finance as much as he thinks he does.
Glad it's not just me noticing this...
@@justinacase2623 That is not his point. Comparing the SP500 to a mid-cap fund just does not make any sense.
@@justinacase2623 If he doesn't know the difference between mid cap and SP 500 fund then yes, he should get his money back for sure because those professors failed him
@@justinacase2623 I'm sure his financial advisors know the difference between mid cap and SP 500. The problem is that clearly DAVE doesn't know the difference
Yeah, I wondered if anyone else caught that. The SP500 is NOT comprised of mid-cap stocks. It's comprised of the big, boring stocks and it's what Warren Buffet said the average investor should put their money in.
Nice work ✨🎆🌠
Great theory never thought about it that way!
What if you're 58 with a pension but haven't started investing in mutual funds yet? What do you start with then? It was recommended to us to invest primarily in moderate growth. Is that good advice? Clearly I need to learn how all of this works...sooner rather than later.
VTSAX been investing in it over 20 years
How does Mr Dave view funds that are specifically focused on technology?Or other funds that are more focused on one and the same industry? Regards Robin
@@justinacase2623 yes, suppose you can call it sector funds 👍😁
Target sector funds? Gambling
@@colin1818 daves investing advice? god awful
Look up the concept called "sequence of return"... your playing with fire if you take Dave's advise
*I think the best Mutual Fund that Dave should have suggested is Wallstreetbets* 😎
I told my mom the same thing about bonds. 20% of her portfolio is bonds.
With inflation, that is too much risk on the bond side 😳
@@gblyndensrandomreviews well, that depends on the average maturity of the bond portfolio. If it's mainly long term, then yes, could get killed if current rates rise.
Dear god. He’s confused AF. Small cap/Tech/Em have overlap but are their own separate things. Couldn’t keep watching after that balls up.
I’ve been waiting for someone to ask him this question to see what he comes up with as a response. I expected him to talk about higher average performance of stocks relative to other investments, or the idea that by being debt free you’ve effectively lowered you risk to the point that 100% stocks acts to balance out. Instead, he incorrectly defined terms to misinform his listeners.
Great topic!
Tell this to the guy who retired in 2008 and lost 45 percent of his nest egg, hasn't he heard of sequence of return risk.
Only those that sold lost.
You should have years of living expenses in cash during retirement, so you don’t have to spend investment principal during a prolonged downturn.
He didnt lose much if anything. You are assuming people take their money out in a lump sum at retirement. Virtually nobody does that.
He either wasn’t diversified enough, he cashed out his nest egg, or both.
@@ElainesDomain - When you're retired you kind of HAVE to sell, don't you? Otherwise how are you going to eat? Isn't that the point?
This is a great video and I wish that Dave would spend a lot more time translating what some of these terms are because when I go to look for the mutual funds that hes talking about their called something completely different and I have no idea what hes talking about
There are books about these things.
He uses American Funds (it's a brand). He uses the language they use. Not that I'm recommending their funds (they're largely load funds), but if you went and looked at their funds you'd see name types you recognize.
Getting popcorn to read the comments about how wrong Dave is...
Would be surprising on this channel but he himself has said his way isn’t the only way it’s just what worked for him so he teaches it and it’s obvious helped many. Millions of others have used diff investing plans and are very wealthy incl an older wealthier mult gen ‘old money’ friend he shared a plane with who called his investment plan ‘new money’. More then one road leads to Rome w/diff teachers as guides. Cheers!
@@jmc8076 - Correct. Dave's way is hardly the only way. Warren Buffett recommends an entirely different method (indexing) for the average investor. I certainly don't think that Dave knows more than the Oracle. But either method will make you money if you stick to it.
Cash flow the popcorn
@@DJiMike1 - Only if it's in the budget
his investing advice is horrid
I enjoyed this
lol, dave is the best!
I was wondering this exact same thing....
yeah I am only 39 and my td ameritrade managed portfolio has 13% bonds on agressive i want them to invest non and all equities
That's they way target funds are set up. Dave doesn't recommend target / retirement funds.
@@jimhandler1129 does he reccomend mostly etf or mutual fund only s&p 500 type individual funds.
yeah i don't like having 10-15% tied up in bonds of my portfolio
@@dvandentop Mutual funds : growth & income, growth, aggressive growth and international.
Dave Ramsey gave good advice. Overall, it's about risk tolerance and personal preference on how the individual wants to invest their money
some of the worst portfolio advice on the internet actually
What is the point to not touching the principal if I don't have any heir?
So you don't run out of money
You can touch the principal, if you're good at guessing your "end-date". It's called a sinking fund.
What mutual fund should I invest in please ?
just dont, do etfs
At the end Dave said a couple hundred million dollars was he talking about his net worth?
think he is worth 200 million , so prob yeah
@@kuryanthomas1438 wow I thought he was only worth 50-70 mil🤯

beyond horrid investing advice
Conventional wisdom results in Conventional results.
Disagree. As the old saying goes, "common sense isn't all too common." Everybody wants to be special and thinks they can do better than the conventional wisdom.
@@colin1818 daves iinvesting advice is most definitely not conventional wisdom, its highly controversial and if you ask me horrid.
before watching video: nope
after watching video: nope wow I'm right I guess if your investments for 50 years worked who knew changing was a bad idea
To all the 60 year olds: Hold the line.
The bread line or food stamp?
@@ChrisMFlorida 🤣🤣🤣
Not me. I'm going with good funds and my money has doubled in 10 years. All the while I'm spending 6-9% a year from it.
Nice video! What about FBC14 algorithm review?
What about being a clown?
💎🚀
Dude has no clue what he's talking about and just makes up a strawman to argue against in order to pretend to be smart. Nobody at all claims that people should sell all their stocks and go with all bonds. What is rightly said is that you move to a moderate investment profile to enable the account to continue getting growth while also being able to avoid taking the full brunt of market volatility.
Also, the caller is silly for saying that he wants the portfolio that the advisor has with their family, because he's looking for a cookie-cutter approach that is invalid -- investment strategies must be personalized. Dave doesn't know anything about investment himself, so he laughs along with a guy who doesn't know better and feels validated in saying he tells everyone to do whatever he does. Well, Dave isn't liquidating his investments, isn't close to liquidating his investments, and may never do so in his lifetime prior to his heirs inheriting the accounts; in the meantime, the caller is gonna risk running out of money quickly trying to go all-in with the advice of someone who has no expertise on the matter just because he likes being told what he wants to hear rather than what he needs to.
Well said 👏
Aggressive/Emergency ==small cap
International/Global
Growth fund==S&P 500, mid cap
Growth & income= blue chip, large cap fund.
Traditional switches to bonds over time
An S&P500 is definitely a large cap fund. Literally all 505 companies in the S&P500 are considered large cap. Not sure how when you add them all up they turn into a mid-cap.
Ironically, I've heard the term "blue chip" used as a synonym for an "S&P500 firm"
Did Dave say 700 million dollars?
Yes, he did let that slip. Is he actually that close to a billion? Wow.
Why do an analysis if there is FBC14 algorithm? They offer passive income from BTC’s
Yet another bot. Don't Google his algorithm. That's the whole point. They spam these comments on many of Dave Ramsey's videos.
Dave Ramsey "what I do is right I'm rich". All the empirical data "doesn't work for everyone". Me "yeah I can live off my multi million dollar business and real estate just like Dave* 🥴
you can whine about it or work hard and save...your choice, nothing is guaranteed.
You clearly didn’t watch the video, because you must have missed the part where he explained his position, referencing the 30 years that a “safe” portfolio would be outpaced by inflation, and that you should never drain the principle. It was hardly a, “do what I say because I’m rich...” answer.
@@justinacase2623 - I agree with Justin here. Stop complaining and do something about it. Invest your money and get rich also. Every day Americans are doing it....every day.
@@colin1818 yeah just dont invest in mutual funds
Just buy Tesla stock.
Where's the diversification for risk?
@@ChrisMFlorida I know, I was really joking. I have a ton of Tesla but also a ton of diversification.
not very good advice. that much volatility is not comfortable for most people in retirement and daves "don't kill the goose" fails to account for uneven returns over time
Lightbulb moment-- bonds are not as "safe" as you think. 30 year 401k averages 10 to 12 percent
Dave has said in the past he quotes an average.. so of course years will be uneven.
Omg. Dave is clueless about investments
ok clown.
Then don’t listen
bingo

I came to this quickly
Never heard of someone getting off to mutual funds before.
@@pfeiffdog0811 it’s not the mutual funds so much as Dave’s shiny dome. Rice and bean engorges my peen.
