    The important thing to remember is that side hustles often take up so much of your free time that you're basically not even living. That's not much different than the guy who hoards money his entire life while eating only oatmeal and then dies before ever really using it.
    True wealth would be finding a way to balance securing your future with actually living your life here and now.

      Depends on the side hustle… I play music with my band. I don’t have a huge interest in touring full time bc it’s a lot of work but I do love writing and playing music. I also love writing novels and feel fulfilled by this and sell them on the side. If that was full time then yah, I’d be happy with it… some side hustles are just to make money but others are about filling your soul, it’s more of a vocation.

    My great uncle was a junk collector. He had the worst house in town. It was an old dump that he never took care of (mental health), and in the back yard he basically had a junk yard. Old cars, piles of scrap metal, coffee cans filled with nuts and bolts. When he died his daughters learned that he at around $7 million..... in a checking account.... Turns out the junk yard was the primary sourcing grounds for local mechanics. Anything he couldn't sell he scrapped. He ate oatmeal and hotdogs for nearly every meal, and never did anything besides work and watch TV. He was the meanest person I ever knew and I didn't really like him. When he died and we learned about all of this my dad just said "That's one way to live, I guess." Point taken.

    At the very least, I now grasp the concept of leverage. Creating wealth and financial freedom isn't as tough as many people believe.

      I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.

    At the age of 47, I found that my financial "professional" had misappropriated my retirement funds ($250k) and lost it all. Didn't do one thing I said. I had to start over. with zero. I decided to manage my own money, and 12 years later I had 400k saved. Not enough, but hey. Still under the 8 ball, as covid caused a catastrophic loss in my income (I was forced to retire early). I had planned on working another 6 years to get to that million mark. well, life has a way of changing your plans, no? So now I just have to figure it out as always. I will, but it will take some time. Gotta tell ya though, after going from extreme poverty to middle class and back to poverty? I am one disgruntled camper.

    The whole concept of sacrifice now so that you can not worry later is novel but, I find that, like some others have said, that money is constantly losing its value, and you'll likely still be worried about it when you reach retirement age. I try to live in the moment more. Enjoy things while I can, because tomorrow isn't promised. That being said, I have gotten into the habit of investing a little bit whenever I feel like I've got some extra money lying around and I can see how saving a bit more can essentially make you more over the same period.

    I get that this is just an example, but if you're going to use a monthly salary/income figure, choose something that represents either the median income or better the income of the folks who desperately need financial help--not the people who already have financial advisors. According to US fed stats, the average salary in 2021 was ~ $50K before taxes. That's already a lot less than $5K per month. And since the vid's title suggests we're dealing with "a low salary," we're looking at something much less than $5K after taxes. Just makes people who don't make near $5K/month after taxes feel this, like most financial advice, won't help them. Add to this exploding housing costs, mandatory insurance premiums now, and college loans and that tiny savings burns up quickly.
    Too many YT financial vids are geared to people who already have a decent income. Everybody forgets the rest of the population which is growing.

It is almost impossible to make high quality stuff without money and those who did not make it are not the ones with the high view counts. Switching career paths is a lot more difficult than people make it seem because ability and skill are both needed.

I watched this vid by this multi-million dollar trader guy around my age. He said he got started when he graduated from high school and got a "gift" from his grandparents of $200K. (!!!) So he invested it in real estate and began a real estate company. Most of us don't have anyone to give us $200K to start.
      And a lot of these young people my age or younger started when they were living at home and had very low expenses. They could save $500-$1K each month and afford to invest and lose and invest again. That's not the typical US adult.

    Saving is only really good for short term purchases. Investing in the stock market can be tricky for new investors as the stock market can be temperamental and volatile. Even old time stock market investors can have a huge loss. Mutual funds are a more secure route to go and starting on the S&P 500 with $500 down and $125 a month can get you $2000 on the mutual fund each year. - Making a budget, paying off debt and knowing when your paychecks come in and when your expenses (And how much) go out each month is also very crucial. The more debt you pay off, the more of your money is not going to someone else and staying in your pocket. - Also, look into Mutual Funds that pay dividends. If you have enough money in those, you can live off the interest.

    The answer is you can't. Basically if you are 20 and making 10 an hour you will not be a millionaire in 20 years. You will most likely not be one in 20 years after your 40th either. You have to make at least like 17 and up. Or get paid a better salary. 500 a week or more take home. If you don't make that, you will not become a millionaire.

    I always found the idea of using spreadsheets very time consuming and unnecessary. I just dump a bunch of money into my savings/investment accounts each month and keep my spending money in a separate account and try to spend as little as possible.
    I don’t have a full time job, I’m just self-employed with various income streams and and regardless of how much I make each month I stick to the same budget and live below my means.

    Yeah, on average, regardless of whether its up or down, its best to just invest in an index fund as much as you can for as long as possible, or some rare earth mineral like gold or silver (basically the easiest to obtain and dispose of). The average return rate has always been above 5%, and its almost always outperforms everyone in the long run. This is especially so if you are young. However, if you are older, you may have to think about less risky ones like government bonds or something. If you are in your 30's to 40's, then index funds are your best bet.

    I have a system that helps me save money and also keeps me from buying things I don't need. I started by saving $5000. If I wanted to buy something big I would use the money out of that $5000 and I couldn't buy anything else until I payed that money back. I have more now but it really kept me grounded and helped me save alot of money without spending foolishly. I now invest my money with the money I dont spend.

Besides, the economy and the markets are controlled. Don't save money in a bank that has 4 percent liquidly. You'll have to pay taxes on that earned income.

      Actually, if you park 8 million into mutual funds that pay dividends, you can keep the 8 million in the bank and live off the interest from the dividend fund. I'm teaching my kids the theory of that lesson so if I get to that point where I can get my own dividend mutual fund and then get enough in there to cover my expenses, and more, when i depart this world, my wife and kids can split that money and re-invest it into their own Dividend fund, thus creating generational wealth. ...at least that's a plan.
