    One thing I wish they would talk more about is age. If you get started in your 40s, 15% for retirement isn't going to cut it.

      Yes,but it's better than nothing.. especially if you've done the other steps.

      Sure it is. Let’s say you put in 15% of 40k at age 41. Just looking at that year alone, you’d put in 6k. At age 48 it’ll be worth $12k. I’m using 10% instead of Dave’s customary 12%. At age 55, it’s worth $24k. At age 62, it’s worth 48k. At age 69, 2 years past full retirement age for me, it’s worth $96k. Do that every year. Hopefully you can put in more than 15% eventually.

      @@greggsadler4387 , you'd still need way more. No one can retire on 96k. I'm thankful I started young, but I often still feel like I'm falling short.

      15% is way too low at any age, unless you have very low income

    I only have 2 more months and my house is paid off with no other debt. But it'll take me probably 6-9 more months to get my emergency fund back to 6 months of expenses. This summer my 5 month emergency fund got wiped out in the span of 3 weeks. I had to replace 2 AC Units, 1 furnace, and 2 hot water heaters at my house because the old ones crapped out on me all at the same time. 401k has not performed well for me in the past 20 years. It tanked bad in 2008 and didn't recover like I hoped, then it crashed again in 2020 and basically just flattened out after that not really gaining or losing each year.

    I find it funny that Rachel talks about how she has to cut back on her expenses now to reach a good retirement at 60 .. and she would be right if she were the average American. However, her Dad has a net worth of over $200 million which she will split with her siblings when Dave moves on to the next life (which I hope isn't anytime soon of course) ... She'll be fine in retirement. But the advice here is sound. I just find it funny. Maybe I have weird sense of humor.

    You guys never talk about Roth 401ks. Are those not common? My employer offers this and it seems to be the ultimate version of what you guys talk about, not to mention it has a much higher yearly contribution limit. I can get my entire 15% plus the 6% employer match and still not max it out...

      She’s playing you and you’re falling hook, line, and sinker 😂
      Her father is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and has a trust fund set up for her.
      That girl will never have to worry about money and hasn’t worked an honest day’s labor in her entire life.
      I bet she hasn’t even washed a dish too.
      She is privileged, you’re not and is disrespectful to even act as if she’s the slightest bit relatable to the average person.

      ​@15KHPCLUB Just because her dad is worth millions, doesn't mean that she is. How horrible of a thing to say! I'm sure she washes dishes at home. She's a mother of three. She also has a TH-cam channel, is a Ramsey Personality, and has wrote several books. She works hard every day. She has also been working since she was a teen and not for her dad. You would know that if you watched the show.
