Isn’t that the truth. I had probably around 170k at the age of 26 from playing poker and I was clueless about investing because my dad or any other family member really did it. I’m 45 now and pound into my son(who’s 16) and any younger people I meet at the gym or wherever.
If your teen holds Brian in high regard he has a chance! Let Brian be his mentor, he will lead him in the right direction. Trying to get my kids on this too. They're grown and making good money now but not on the investment train yet.
I had around 30k net Worth in 2012 at age 28 when i bought my first home in LA. Than got a second home in 2017 and rent my first one. Now today at 40 years old with a family of 7 i have around 1.1M net worth. And making under 100k in the past 10 years. Hope i am on track to having over 5M by the time i retire. 🙏
nice bro! where did you buy in 2012 with 30K lol Curious bought my first property 2022 at age 26 in South LA, 500K Duplex that needed work. keep going bro! keep inspiring.
I saw this happen with my wife's 403b..First 18 years of contributing, we got to $95,000...all her $ was in fixed funds...in March 2020 market collapse, I got her $ into stock funds...She is now back into TIP fund with $220,000..We have been fortunate to be able to put in at least $10,000 every year for the the past 4 years. Her employer has been matching 6% for the last 23 years
The S&P average annualized return since its inception in 1928 through 2023 is 9.90%. The average return since adopting 500 stocks in 1957 through 2023 is 10.26%. Brian is correct. The problem for most people is that they never use the keys they have been given. You must start investing. The door will never open if you don’t insert the key. Key = money.
Finances are exponential. Live above your means, borrow, and your debt can spiral exponentially. Live below your means, invest, and your net worth can grow exponentially.
Yes but it depends on the whims of the market. In 2022, investing would have actually caused you to lose money. Higher interest rates have subdued the market. I’m hoping things will change soon. I am heavily invested in tech and my returns have been meh the past two years
Because they very deliberately don’t WANT you to learn this in school. If everyone knew this it would be bad news for the rich people exploiting us all.
It's not guaranteed every year, it's the S&P 500 average return over the last 100+ years. Some years lose 5% while others make 20%. It all averages out. The only way to make that return is by investing. You can't drop it off at your bank and expect that type of interest.
@@2alawabidingcitzen facts, I used to watch Graham years ago but it's the same clickbait BS with overdone thumbnails and repetitive talking points.. Brian where its at
JM - But what does Brian get for lending you $100K for a 4 year period? That would be a very bad investment of HIS money. High risk and ZERO return. Go get two jobs and WORK HARD for your money.
True, I started out with minimum wage @ $1.25 hour, now have $2.5 million. Took from 1972 to 1996 to build my first $100k, got knocked back down to zero many times but eventually made it, in Dec 1989 with my last $13 dollars I bought a 1889 silver dollar and decided that was my good luck coin and made it from zero to $100k in 1996, from 1996 to 2010 it grew to $1 million, retired with $1.55 million in July 2012, grew to $2.5 million during retirement in August 2024, still have that silver dollar in my pocket. 10% seems high, my average gain over last 12 years has been 5.3% but that includes withdrawals for living expenses.
How did you turn $100k to $1M in 14 years when your average gain was 5.3%? it doesn't add up? "made it from zero to $100k in 1996, from 1996 to 2010 it grew to $1 million"
Just hold through bear markets. Don’t panic sell during the dip. Also if you’re near retirement age take some money out of the market so you don’t feel pressured to sell.
Just put it in an Index fund and forget about it. Market return varies year-to-year but the historical rate of return has been about 10 percent on average for the last 30 years.
Very true. Witnessed it 1st hand in my 401k & Roth IRA accounts. The moment my investment passed $100k, it has been a steady 20% growth year after year. By time I reach 59.5 for withdrawal, I'll have over $200k annual dividends tax free to spend from my Roth alone, on top of the capital gain in the millions.
The information you present on your YT channel is informative, useful, and honest. There is a lot to learn from you; many are watching and paying attention to every word you say. Thank you for the work that you do.
It‘s the same principle when doing vom 1k to 10k, or going from 10k to 100k. So the 100k is simply the point where your money will make enough money to be literally life changing. But you can also use these principles to grow small amounts of money, so don’t feel discouraged!
I’ve always been an advocate of investing too because it has paid off handsomely since I decided to dabble in it. I've seen my net worth grow exponentially the past 2 years.
Jonas Herman’s analysis isn’t just about short-term gains; it’s a solid long-term strategy. I have had great relief working with him as my previous experiences with others were dreadful.
I’ve had 100k since 2017 and the reality is that your money doesn’t double every year. The biggest contributor to my money growth is still my income source and savings.
The one cent doubling scenario was only used to show compounding. Find something that gives you min of 4% not those silly savings accounts that gives you pennies of return.

Don't be and don't surround yourself with the type of people that say: "I don't want the responsibilities" while also complaining that their bosses have it so easy.

At age 70, I'm finding I need that $500 Month dividend from 130k just to stay even these days. It's all liquid in a HISA. Yes, I'm the exception as I got it though a judgement last year. I need those funds liquid as the time will come when a new vehicle is in order, a new roof on the house or just spending in down living life while I can. Having an extra 100k is different when you reach my age versus someone 30 or 40. Just my take on things.
Best timing for this post lately i’ve been feeling impatient and down. Your video helped me put my head back to perspective! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and advices!
If you have good credit PMI is legit not even a big deal at all. On a $600,000 loan my PMI on a 30-year amortization is only $118/month. Don't let PMI and Dave Ramsey scare you away from getting into a house!!!
Yes, the first home I bought, I had PMI. I could only save 10%, there was no realistic way of me getting 20%. I did try to get rid of that PMI as fast as I could though.
Never did PMI. First home $185k in mid 90’s. 20% $37k. Sounds small but was done on around 30k salary at the time. Sold 7 years later at $350k. Had enough profit to put 20% down and buy $500k. Home now worth $1.5 million. So my initial $37k turned into $1.5 million.
This advice is nothing new. The real advice people need to hear is, "Unless you are willing to suffer to get to $100k, you are almost guaranteed to stay broke if you live like you are rich now."
Truth- We grew our investable net worth from 85k in 2019 to 680k in 2024 . Paid of debt, paid off house. Currently saving 35% of gross income. Retiring next year.
Yes sir! I lost all my wealth in a divorce 14yrs ago. I even dipped into my IRA. I was paycheck to paycheck for a long time. I slowly invested (dca) in the stock market in 2015 and also learned about digital assets in 2020. I can breathe again... I'm not rich, but will be well off by time I'm 60. It doesn't happen overnight, start now. Don't spend money on foolish things. Enjoy what you have.
I just started investing 2 years ago, I'm currently at $12k. I'm pretty pleased with my hard work. I do dollar cost averaging, a set amount every month. I also have a Roth IRA $4k, so it's split in both accounts. I wanted one account for the next 10 years and the other one for 59 years old.
FYI you should max your Roth out first before any brokerage investing. It’s tax free on earnings and you can withdraw your contributions with no penalty. It’s a win-win.
As someone who just recently started making over 100k about 3 years ago, it's mostly because you start to realize that buying expensive stuff doesn't really change your life or make you happier, and secondly you have extra money to invest and make even more money.
My first 100k took forever, my second $100k felt like it happened practically overnight. This is good advice for everyone working towards saving/investing for their future, and probably the best video I've seen yet on the topic.
If you can reliably compound at 10% (real return) after tax and inflation, you’re doing better than most professional investors. Easier said than done…
My net worth is $800k accross various investment accounts. I earn about $5k/month passively. I don't spend it. Just reinvest. It's true. And it works. I am swimming in money and I could stop working soon if I wanted to. (But I make $300k/year so I wouldn't stop working yet. It's a haul!)
I’m using my equity to move out of state and buy a house cash. Got over $100k in investments and an emergency fund. Zero debt! You have to hustle and sacrifice.
I appreciate the motivation every time. 22 years old with 60,000 investing in VTI. Lock up my accounts. So I can’t even see if they go up or down because history tends to repeat itself.🎉 great Vid
This man seems genuinely interested in giving sound financial advice with the hope of everyday Americans gaining longterm wealth. I appreciate his sincerity.

good job, you're probably already reached Coast-fire. I'm at 520k at 45 years old and should be on track to retire early. That day cannot come soon enough. Work sux.

Steady work, being frugal and pressing on by saving and investing. This is not magic. Sacrifice the Starbucks, the tattoos, the eating out often and being frivolous with money. Also, do not be cheap, the universe will help if you help others.

The economy is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, but it's getting stronger compared to other currencies and things like gold and property. People are turning to the dollar because they think it's safer. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of high inflation. Where else can we keep our money?
Thank you Brian, one of the best blog and advice as usual, I will share this to my friends, co workers and family members luckily I passed the 100K plus mark and still contributing 15% +6 % match from our company.
I hit my first 100k last year at age 31. I’m so happy!!!!!

I drive an $1800 car and I got 63K in my IRA. Plan on retiring in 24 years. Let's keep the hooptie going!
How old are you?
I hope its toyota or honda lmfao
nice, sp500 or nasdaq index funds, slow and steady wins the race, youll def hit 2 to 3 million by retirement
Don’t retire
Don't rush into retirement. People degrade very quickly when they retire.
33 years old. 300K in my 401K. I'm hoping to retire at 50.
that is impressive
How are you going to access those retirement funds without severe penalty at age 50?

At age 70, I'm finding I need that $500 Month dividend from 130k just to stay even these days. It's all liquid in a HISA. Yes, I'm the exception as I got it though a judgement last year. I need those funds liquid as the time will come when a new vehicle is in order, a new roof on the house or just spending in down living life while I can. Having an extra 100k is different when you reach my age versus someone 30 or 40. Just my take on things.
You might be the most honest person on the web sir, thank you for the knowledge
Best timing for this post
lately i’ve been feeling impatient and down. Your video helped me put my head back to perspective!
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and advices!

If you have good credit PMI is legit not even a big deal at all. On a $600,000 loan my PMI on a 30-year amortization is only $118/month. Don't let PMI and Dave Ramsey scare you away from getting into a house!!!
Yes, the first home I bought, I had PMI. I could only save 10%, there was no realistic way of me getting 20%. I did try to get rid of that PMI as fast as I could though.
Agree. My loan was about $540k and PMI is $78/mo
@@mandypdx yeah I don’t understand when people like Ramsey are like “PMI is $75-$100 per hundred thousand”. Like no dawg, no it’s not.
Never did PMI. First home $185k in mid 90’s. 20% $37k. Sounds small but was done on around 30k salary at the time.
Sold 7 years later at $350k. Had enough profit to put 20% down and buy $500k. Home now worth $1.5 million.
So my initial $37k turned into $1.5 million.

This advice is nothing new. The real advice people need to hear is, "Unless you are willing to suffer to get to $100k, you are almost guaranteed to stay broke if you live like you are rich now."
your advice is literally nothing new as well 😂
@@alonsoledesma9609 And yet it is the least given advice.
@@alonsoledesma9609none of their advice takes into account all the other factors required to end up with 100k IMO…

I have been watching too many financial advice videos on TH-cam but nothing so direct, clear and straightforward like yours. Thank you for sharing
Truth- We grew our investable net worth from 85k in 2019 to 680k in 2024 . Paid of debt, paid off house. Currently saving 35% of gross income. Retiring next year.
Yes sir! I lost all my wealth in a divorce 14yrs ago. I even dipped into my IRA. I was paycheck to paycheck for a long time. I slowly invested (dca) in the stock market in 2015 and also learned about digital assets in 2020. I can breathe again... I'm not rich, but will be well off by time I'm 60. It doesn't happen overnight, start now. Don't spend money on foolish things. Enjoy what you have.
I just started investing 2 years ago, I'm currently at $12k. I'm pretty pleased with my hard work. I do dollar cost averaging, a set amount every month. I also have a Roth IRA $4k, so it's split in both accounts. I wanted one account for the next 10 years and the other one for 59 years old.
FYI you should max your Roth out first before any brokerage investing. It’s tax free on earnings and you can withdraw your contributions with no penalty. It’s a win-win.
Congrats on the $12K David! That's awesome. You will gain more and more momentum. Keep adding and keep going. The Roth IRA is a good pick to do it in.
@@Mactakun Cool, I'll do that! I wonder if it's worth transferring my Robinhood money to my Roth IRA?
👍 great job! Keep going and don't stop.
@@DavidDavisDH
ROTH IRA is capped at $5,000 or $6,000 per year.
So keep that in mind ❤❤
This is the most honest and real video I've ever seen on TH-cam. Thanks for this! I will start spending less from today
As someone who just recently started making over 100k about 3 years ago, it's mostly because you start to realize that buying expensive stuff doesn't really change your life or make you happier, and secondly you have extra money to invest and make even more money.
My first 100k took forever, my second $100k felt like it happened practically overnight. This is good advice for everyone working towards saving/investing for their future, and probably the best video I've seen yet on the topic.
I hit 100k at 28, super blessed!
If you can reliably compound at 10% (real return) after tax and inflation, you’re doing better than most professional investors. Easier said than done…
it gets insanely fast once you hit the milly mark... doubled in like 4 years but this is with zero debt... what Dave Ramsey preaches
Having debt or not, saving 15% of your earning.
This guy is one of the few youtubers I always trust! Legend
This channel is binge worthy, no ads and the best money advice with zero fluff added

Brian is the Man when it comes to Money News and Money Making! Thank you Sir!
How do you get 10% rate of return?
Invest in gold, it’s gonna grow in 7-10% rate in long term
Fantastic and straightforward advice. I literally just hit 100 and am noticing the explosion right before I watched this video. Love it
Every strategy you come up with is very surprising, you make it so easy and simple, thank you
Get out of debt first
My net worth is $800k accross various investment accounts. I earn about $5k/month passively. I don't spend it. Just reinvest. It's true. And it works. I am swimming in money and I could stop working soon if I wanted to. (But I make $300k/year so I wouldn't stop working yet. It's a haul!)
Isn't it ironic that when you have it, you don't need it, but when you don't have it, you do 😂😂😂
I’m using my equity to move out of state and buy a house cash. Got over $100k in investments and an emergency fund. Zero debt! You have to hustle and sacrifice.
Freaking love this guy! No BS, no scamming, no insane clickbait, just practical advice!
I appreciate the motivation every time. 22 years old with 60,000 investing in VTI. Lock up my accounts. So I can’t even see if they go up or down because history tends to repeat itself.🎉 great Vid
Happy Friday Brian!
Happy Friday Midnight Toker! I wish you a great weekend!
I just wish I would have learned this lesson about 10 years ago. Now I'm trying to play catch up. I can't wait to hit that $100K.
This is fucking true, the sheer confidence as well pushes you
This man seems genuinely interested in giving sound financial advice with the hope of everyday Americans gaining longterm wealth. I appreciate his sincerity.
I love the length of Brian's videos and how they are cut to the chase! Simple and informational!
Always great advice and helpful information. As always, thank you Brian. 👍
The most important lesson is to get a job where you can save 10k/year 😂
That’s it. Invest into S&P 500 is easy, making enough to live off of and invest is hard and is never covered.

good job, you're probably already reached Coast-fire. I'm at 520k at 45 years old and should be on track to retire early. That day cannot come soon enough. Work sux.
Lesson here is no bank will give you guaranteed 10% savings rate
Thank you for calling out disreputable effeminate scammers
Just hit $100k invested right after turning 28. Looking forward to the future!

If getting rich were so easy, the streets would be filled with millionaires instead of homeless people.
I started listening to Brian in 2020, now I am sitting on my 3rd house and looking to buy 4th. His formula works, it's up to you if you are willing to penny pitch for a few years. 😅 like he said, it sucks, but it works!
"We do things not because they are easy, but because they are hard"
Steady work, being frugal and pressing on by saving and investing. This is not magic. Sacrifice the Starbucks, the tattoos, the eating out often and being frivolous with money. Also, do not be cheap, the universe will help if you help others.
Democrats want to keep people poor
You need poor people to be rich otherwise everyone would be middle class.
It definitely exploded after 100k, I agree 100%
Yes, it was just a grind getting there. Patience and discipline.
@clearvaluetax9382 You hit the nail on the head "Patience & discipline," and I still buy heavily!

Its an easy process. Most people just never start.
Great insight, thank you.
true and the 1st $1M is the next resistance
This is the best truthful advise ever.
The economy is grappling with uncertainties, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
Things are strange right now. The US dollar is becoming less valuable because of inflation, but it's getting stronger compared to other currencies and things like gold and property. People are turning to the dollar because they think it's safer. I'm worried about my retirement savings of about $420,000 losing value because of high inflation. Where else can we keep our money?
This is why time in the market beats timing the market. Compounding is powerful but time consuming.
Thank you Brian, one of the best blog and advice as usual, I will share this to my friends, co workers and family members luckily I passed the 100K plus mark and still contributing 15% +6 % match from our company.
