    The best thing and the simplest thing you could do is make sure you're investing at least $1000 into your brokerage or retirement account Quarterly. If you aren't able to, figure out how to come up with some extra cash. Your future self needs it.

      Data! Investing isn't as hard as people believe. It calls for diligence, something many people don't have. A financial counselor can be helpful if you are starting out with a sizable sum.

      Yeah, financial advisors could make a lot of difference, particularly in a market such as this. Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are a lot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look. I have been using an FA since 2019, and I return at least $121k ROI, and this does not include capital gain.

      I've shuffled through investment coaches and yes, they can be positively impactful to an individual's portfolio, but do your due diligence to find a coach with grit, one that withstood the 08' crash. For me, Amber Dawn Brummit turned out to be better and smarter than all the advisors I ever worked with till date, I’ve never met anyone with as much conviction.

    These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it. I have about $89k now to put in the market.

By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. I know someone who made over $350k in this recession influenced market, but to the best of my knowledge, it was through a financial advisor.

    As a 35 year old, I was a little anxious opening this video (being fairly close to the cut-off!) but I am very grateful to say that most of those requirements have been met. I’m very fortunate to have parents that have good money saving habits (and I was able to expand on this with my knowledge of property investment in the UK to leverage debt). For those that didn’t have the privilege I had, you’re already making great steps by watching videos like this and not burying your head in the sand!

    I liked your video; the tips are pretty well compiled and make more sense than a lot of financial advice videos. Here’s two pieces of food for thought. First, for many of us who went to grad school, paying all student loans off by 40 is a stretch. Second, I would argue figuring out mental health by 40 is also important- lots of questionable spending habits are in part linked to poor mental health management I think.

    Thank you for talking about helping parents out! I feel like this is very much a cultural thing. I am Latina, with an aging mother I take care of. My parents did not plan for the future at all, and unlike my non-minority friends, my culture expects me to essentially take care of my mom. I would want to help her out regardless cause I love her, but it’s so hard to explain this to people who aren’t either Asian or Hispanic tbh. I am first generation college educated which makes this even more difficult because my sisters and I really are the first in our family to even consider retirement goals. Before us, everyone just tried to survive as best they could. Great advice here tho. Thanks again!

    Talking to parents and family is great. But if you have the misfortune of having toxic parents with passive aggressive attitude to everything… it becomes almost impossible. I guess we all just have to do the best we can. I sincerely hope we can form better families and raise kids with open communication so they do not fear to have open communication with their own parents. We all must strive to do better than the prior generations.

    Regarding a debt, I think it is important to use it to buy things that appreciate over time or reduce costs (house, insulation etc.) Not for consumption (car, vacation, furniture etc.) If you need credit for consumption, you are poor and sinking no matter how much you are making.

  • @PeterGMcDermott
    @PeterGMcDermott ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Great tips, and I would amend #2 to say $0 in debt financed at a rate above inflation. You can use debt to your advantage by putting your money to work before it's due. A great example of this is promotional 0% financing--if you can put the full balance in a high interest savings account while automatically making the payments, you can earn money as you pay it off. If you pay cash, you're leaving money on the table in that case. Of course, this approach takes a lot of discipline and is incredibly unforgiving if you fail to pay off a balance before the promotional interest rate expires, leaving you with a huge deferred interest cost.
