22 years ago, my husband and I made a decision to live off one income and save/invest the other. Once we had three children we couldn't do it but for awhile but stuck to this game plan. At 34 we paid off our cars. By the following year the house. We have another $1million and now we are able to just travel while working. We wanted the freedom to retire but I'm partially working and he works full-time.
I paid off 25K in credit card debt. I got that debt after I traveled around the world for a few years when I needed to sort things out after a sibling's suicide. The debt came upon my return to the States and being unemployed for an entire year. Got a job in my hyper specialized field. It took a little over a year to clear that debt. It helped that I had moved to a small town for my job. The rent for a 4 bedroom house was 700 bucks. There was really nothing to buy. And not too many restaurants to go to. Beer at a bar was 5 bucks. And since there was no peer pressure to go and do fancy things, I didn't feel too much bummer-ness in the whole experience.
That's really impressive and congratulations. I'm in a similar situation, need to move. What was the state and city that you had moved into finding 4 bedroom house for $700?
I’m happy for her but when you’re making 6 figures, no kids and your NY apartment was cheap even fir NYC standards it wouldn’t be that hard to partially retire. Her issue was she was partying too much by spending 2-3k a month.
Diania, I love Optimal Finance Daily! Those podcasts changed the way I managed my money in 2019, not to mention they are super short and informative. Happy for you!
I mean, if you are paying only 600$ for mortgage and generating 3000$ (assuming post-tax) income per month, you are in a good shape even without having 300k on the retirement. But of course it helps to achieve “FI”. Also, most people don’t want to be forced to work. But, people want to work, too. So, it is great to be saving for the worst.
I’m so glad I stopped drinking at 23 I’m gonna do my best to keep my body fit and eat healthy for the rest of my twenties and beyond so I don’t ruin my brain or get flabby. I want my 30s to be a reflection of how I treated my body in my 20s and this was good motivation to do things the right away in my 20s instead of seeing it as a “who cares I wanna party while I’m young and be an independent woman who doesn’t need no man” phase
Exactly she had the means to save and pay off debt in a short time span. She was making over 100k a year so saving 300k should have only taking a few years the average person needs decades
100%. FIRE is not about quitting work. It gives you a peace of mind about future uncertainty. :) Most ppl with FIRE do not think about having kids as they can get expensive.
I don't see how she saved enough for retirement. 300k ish of investments in your 30's does not seem to be enough to stretch you into your 80s even with her low rate of spend. She hasn't discussed how she obtains medical benefits with her low salary. Additionally, that nest egg she has with 4-5% annualized return only equates to 1.2 million or so at 65. It is really not enough when you factor in other expenses between now and 65. She will need to earn much more as she goes - I wouldn't count that as FIRE. If she had 2 million dollar nest egg then yea - I would say that is FIRE.
I've been thinking about taking this same path. I spend way too much time working, and have become extremely unhealthy. I don't have the energy or time to buy groceries, and so eat whatever chips or cookies are around the house. I barely sleep or exercise or shower. I am honestly worried that I may pass away if I continue on like this. What good is a semi-high wage if you're not going to be around to do anything with it.

So you live in NYC with $135,000 which is roughly around $100,000 after tax, yet you can save around 60% so somehow you can stay in NYC for $40,000 a year. It's not easy to survive with $40,000 a year in NYC I know many whos rent alone is way beyond that.

Enjoyed this so much. Trying to retire in 5 years. Have always been told I have a radio voice when I’ve been on radio. How do you find podcast reading gigs? Hi from miami 🙋🏻♀️
Determine a niche/topic, Purchase equipment if necessary, Go to spotify and set up a podcast account, get sponsors to bring in revenue. Miami is a 'Hot' topic. People would love to know more about the culture, the people, the food, cost of living, real estate etc.
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.
Some investors look to their investments as a source of income while others use it is a means to grow or preserve their wealth. For new investors, getting started can feel overwhelming. Risks loom large, and complicated, unfamiliar financial jargon can be intimidating.
My spouse and ispouse are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Bought my first £400,000 house. Success requires market knowledge and we made a very good choice adopting a financial advisor Caroline Renee Steiger.
Wow, I know Caroline Renee Steiger. I joined her program just a couple months back.! She obviously brings a lot of experience to the table but more importantly I think she is a tough person in an industry that demands clairvoyance.
Fact! I make 135k, live in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn and can't afford to move anywhere nicer lol. We barely leave the house these days trying to save. We are planning on leaving in the next year. 11 years...more than most stay here so I have nothing to complain about. When I really wanted to live here in my 20's I managed to survive. Now I don't really want to live here and well...I can't really afford it so it's a no brainer lol
@@thru_and_thru move to the Bronx. I pay $2200 for my spacious 1 brd luxury apt. Gym, rooftop, private parking, lounge, and tons of restaurants. Brooklyn is overrated.
@@thru_and_thru Your life would probably be so much better in the DC metro. I am a native New Yorker who earns around 140K/year in the DC metro. The best decision that I made was relocating from NYC!
@@GabrielaDey that exists in trendier, safer, more central parts of Brooklyn for $2400. Moving all the way to the Bronx to save $200 wouldn’t make sense. At the very least, one would break even in the cost of Uber from wherever they socialize back to the bronx.
2k a month spending with 300k in investments is quite a bit over the 4% withdrawal rule for your first year of retirement, and in current conditions, even a 4% rule is considered quite aggressive. given what is likely several years of a bear market and higher-than-3% inflation now and in the near future, i am not sure this is considered wise in terms of FIRE. there are many people who are going back to work after early retirement due to current market conditions and increasing expenses.
Shares of Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) are up over 6% in pre-open Thursday trading after Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is very likely to allow controversial payment-for-order-flow (PFOF) deals.
Unfortunately, 300K in the stock market won't cut it to get you to retirement. Maybe 20-30 years ago. Now, 300K in real estate pre-covid, would have been enough.
I'd completely disagree. Although it's expensive here, she moved away from the center of business to....Ohio. Sure it's cheaper but you've effectively taken yourself completely out of the ballgame.
We all know it takes investments. But how about teaching us how and what to choose in investments how about teaching us how to find those unique side hustles like recording for podcasts
@Sheltzer Lafontant, those scenarios are far and in between because the cost of living is so high. She moved to the right place because it is no longer an affordable city for average families of any size only for young corporate professionals. She fits in that category.
Privliges? Anyone that went to a decent school and studied something useful can easily get a six figure job in NYC where 100k is not much. Or are you one of those who doesn’t want to work to get to these positions?😊
What financial institutions are paying you for these ads? 60% savings or investment is wild. You are trying to get people to continue to invest into a system hoping it will pay out, or are you playing into a system that will fail and trying to find the last level of pyramid scheme.
I think the FiIRE movement sells pipe dreams. She’s not retired. And she doesn’t have enough money to retire If she wanted to. I mean good for her in getting her finances under control, but I’d like to see where she is in 10-20 years.
Carolyn you sound more realistic than any other kids out there. Yes I agree with you to the fullest. It's impossible to retire that so little money. To retire you need at least 10 million in your bank.
Housing is wild. I sold my modest 3-bedroom townhouse in California for 800k and did a reverse migration back to my home state. Snagged a single-family fixer-upper with 5 acres of woods for 60k. Dropped 100k on remodeling and now I’m living like royalty in a forest castle. Got fiber internet so I can work a lower-paying remote job. My rat race? Walking from the bedroom to my high-tech basement office. 😅😅Lunch? A sandwich in my backyard beer garden. Dinner? At the forest cove mancave tiny cabin, cooking over an open firepit. For fun, I ride my lawnmower, mowing the grass multiple times a week, sipping a beer, and rocking out with my headphones. Best part, no nagging wife.
American society is very individualistic. A person's finance is completely independent from his or her partner parents etc. In India the financial responsibilities of the entire family is on one guy usually the son. So one can never retire. Keep on working and create more and more wealth for the family.
The thing is living in small towns is boring I’m a city guy need the city restaurants bars clubs in close proximity. These small towns are just for people who are married or have a family
Title's misleading. $282K in retirement and special funds is not liquid. Far from it. You'd lose a significant chunk of your retirement funds (paying taxes and/or significant penalties) if you cash out early (before retirement age) and the HSA cannot be used for anything but, you guessed it, health expenses. Even the brokerage account is not liquid since you probably made commitments (likely legally binding) for how long those funds would be in your broker's control and cashing out is all about how the market is and how the comprising investments are doing relative to when they were kicked off. Moving to Ohio where the COL is a fraction of that of NYC is also kinda a strange victory. If you can do it, power to ya but most New Yorkers don't want or can't do Ohio (distance, jobs, quality of life, politics, public services, no real city life, car brain) regardless of how many of those billboards (I've seen them in Manhattan) say otherwise.
I agree with you on public services. Especially with the fact that high speed wifi is not as strong like a metropolitan area. I think people leave the city for peace of mind eventually
These people making a fortune in New York and California and then moving to cheaper(formerly cheaper now expensive) parts of the country are what is destroying local economies. But here CNBC is promoting this like it's a good thing.
FIRE always gets the comment section smoking... If nothing else, people, let's reduce debt and raise income. And also know that your city doesn't define you--- you are a global citizen.
I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable contributing zero to my retirement from such a young age, but then again you only live once so I do see the temptation…

Her investments are roughly 321k$, what about the equity in her home she purchased plus any cash savings, gold/jewelry, etc. this is all value.
Congratulations 🎉
Enjoyed this so much. Trying to retire in 5 years. Have always been told I have a radio voice when I’ve been on radio. How do you find podcast reading gigs? Hi from miami 🙋🏻♀️
Determine a niche/topic, Purchase equipment if necessary, Go to spotify and set up a podcast account, get sponsors to bring in revenue. Miami is a 'Hot' topic. People would love to know more about the culture, the people, the food, cost of living, real estate etc.
i listen to her podcast

It is great ❤❤

Everybody on CNBC makes at least 100k+ $... Financial Crisis? Lmao...
Yep 😂😂😂
what does working in "consumer goods" mean? and making $135k doing what exactly?
my guess is makeup. I know a marketing director for L'oreal and makes bank
What Diania did was retail management for a large company
Retail Merchandising, something along those lines
Brand management. Usually requires an MBA (but not always). $135K in NYC is nothing.
Being of age and how to manage the sequence of returns in those early periods is what seems quite scary in the current market. The market is never a loser in a twenty year cycle, but the 2000s decade scenario scares me and could really disrupt my retirement. When you are no longer accumulating but withdrawing its hard to be anything but cautious.
Some investors look to their investments as a source of income while others use it is a means to grow or preserve their wealth. For new investors, getting started can feel overwhelming. Risks loom large, and complicated, unfamiliar financial jargon can be intimidating.
My spouse and ispouse are both retired with over $3 million in net worth and no debts. Currently living smart and frugal with our money. Bought my first £400,000 house. Success requires market knowledge and we made a very good choice adopting a financial advisor Caroline Renee Steiger.
That's good for you. If you dont mind, how exactly does this work ? and how profitable have you been ? I would love more info about her services.
Wow, I know Caroline Renee Steiger. I joined her program just a couple months back.! She obviously brings a lot of experience to the table but more importantly I think she is a tough person in an industry that demands clairvoyance.
I believe your guide is obviously based where you are in the States, can this also work if I am looking to do this from UK / Scotland?
I'd like more info about her podcast materials? Does she just read horoscopes on her second podcast and nothing else and she generates an income?
Following.
NY is such a great city if you makes 100's of thousands a year.
Fact! I make 135k, live in a tiny apartment in Brooklyn and can't afford to move anywhere nicer lol. We barely leave the house these days trying to save. We are planning on leaving in the next year. 11 years...more than most stay here so I have nothing to complain about. When I really wanted to live here in my 20's I managed to survive. Now I don't really want to live here and well...I can't really afford it so it's a no brainer lol
@@thru_and_thru move to the Bronx. I pay $2200 for my spacious 1 brd luxury apt. Gym, rooftop, private parking, lounge, and tons of restaurants. Brooklyn is overrated.
@@thru_and_thru Your life would probably be so much better in the DC metro. I am a native New Yorker who earns around 140K/year in the DC metro. The best decision that I made was relocating from NYC!
@@lenaprice6239 where did you move? I’ve definitely thought about that area.
@@GabrielaDey that exists in trendier, safer, more central parts of Brooklyn for $2400. Moving all the way to the Bronx to save $200 wouldn’t make sense. At the very least, one would break even in the cost of Uber from wherever they socialize back to the bronx.
Her podcasts generate $3k per month
What? She makes 3k a month reading?!
2k a month spending with 300k in investments is quite a bit over the 4% withdrawal rule for your first year of retirement, and in current conditions, even a 4% rule is considered quite aggressive. given what is likely several years of a bear market and higher-than-3% inflation now and in the near future, i am not sure this is considered wise in terms of FIRE. there are many people who are going back to work after early retirement due to current market conditions and increasing expenses.

@@HallmarkRocks my bad, i missed that! i wasn't listening carefully

She said it will be compounding until she retires. So it has not matured yet.
@@goodgirlsguide yeah but understanding the math isn’t as fun as dunking on somebody for peacefully living outside of the rat race /s
Shares of Robinhood (NASDAQ:HOOD) are up over 6% in pre-open Thursday trading after Bloomberg reported that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is very likely to allow controversial payment-for-order-flow (PFOF) deals.
Unfortunately, 300K in the stock market won't cut it to get you to retirement. Maybe 20-30 years ago. Now, 300K in real estate pre-covid, would have been enough.
Cnbc needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
Wonder how the 2022 crash is affecting her net worth
Since 90% of her money is in accounts that she's probably not touching for another 25 years, it doesn't really matter
beautiful story!
Omg... This is the voice behind Optimal Finance Daily and I am guessing that's her mid-western gentleman. 👏🏾
That dude is blowing her back out ain’t no way he’s in every clip as a friend
I'm just really upset at what they are eating at 4:50. that's just wrong
True lol
So yall just eating kale and sauce? lol
Yeah how about that investment now
Cincinnati!
Top tier city in the MidWest
Wow she really likes her dog
5:13 well there ya go, moving from NYC is one of the best decisions you can make lol
I'd completely disagree. Although it's expensive here, she moved away from the center of business to....Ohio. Sure it's cheaper but you've effectively taken yourself completely out of the ballgame.
@@bkeen7013 well I'm sure she could do it remotely lol, so it really make no difference.
I love your Optimal Finance Daily podcast
Is $300k in savings in her retirement account? Those money she can't touch till retirement?
Loving this way of thinking!👊👊
We all know it takes investments. But how about teaching us how and what to choose in investments how about teaching us how to find those unique side hustles like recording for podcasts
I love this show but I never see the people that have 2-3 kids. Those expenses are real...
HIS AND HER MONEY PODCAST
@Sheltzer Lafontant, those scenarios are far and in between because the cost of living is so high. She moved to the right place because it is no longer an affordable city for average families of any size only for young corporate professionals. She fits in that category.
@@atiyarise4131 that's true but thus channel should show both perspectives
They literally skipped over her salary and background privileges
Privliges? Anyone that went to a decent school and studied something useful can easily get a six figure job in NYC where 100k is not much. Or are you one of those who doesn’t want to work to get to these positions?😊
Does anyone know what country the scenery at 1:48 might be?
Spain. Video even said it.
I dont believe that you retired with $300000
Come on
What financial institutions are paying you for these ads? 60% savings or investment is wild. You are trying to get people to continue to invest into a system hoping it will pay out, or are you playing into a system that will fail and trying to find the last level of pyramid scheme.
4:50 that lettuce (?kale) looks amazing. C'mon CNBC, throw a few carrots and radishes in there. 🥕
Diana!! ❤
I think the FiIRE movement sells pipe dreams. She’s not retired. And she doesn’t have enough money to retire If she wanted to. I mean good for her in getting her finances under control, but I’d like to see where she is in 10-20 years.
She says in the end that it was about Financial independence.
Carolyn you sound more realistic than any other kids out there. Yes I agree with you to the fullest. It's impossible to retire that so little money. To retire you need at least 10 million in your bank.
Yupe. 6M minimum to battle inflation
right. especially if she wants to have kids.
@@hojaeyun6747 10 million??? Stop.
Laptop on top of a shoebox? I do it too!
I can’t just have lettuce for lunch. I’m never going to FIRE if I add some tomatoes to it.
Housing is wild. I sold my modest 3-bedroom townhouse in California for 800k and did a reverse migration back to my home state. Snagged a single-family fixer-upper with 5 acres of woods for 60k. Dropped 100k on remodeling and now I’m living like royalty in a forest castle. Got fiber internet so I can work a lower-paying remote job. My rat race? Walking from the bedroom to my high-tech basement office. 😅😅Lunch? A sandwich in my backyard beer garden. Dinner? At the forest cove mancave tiny cabin, cooking over an open firepit. For fun, I ride my lawnmower, mowing the grass multiple times a week, sipping a beer, and rocking out with my headphones. Best part, no nagging wife.
American society is very individualistic. A person's finance is completely independent from his or her partner parents etc. In India the financial responsibilities of the entire family is on one guy usually the son. So one can never retire. Keep on working and create more and more wealth for the family.
That's very sad to be sacrificed. Just being born & having your freedom taken away
300k isnt enough
Brave women like butterflies
This fire movement promotion is politics for the Companies to fight back at quiet quiting ... lol, I still prefer quite quiting .
$3000 a month for reading text for 30 minutes a day?
How I can find a job like that?))
The thing is living in small towns is boring I’m a city guy need the city restaurants bars clubs in close proximity. These small towns are just for people who are married or have a family
Exactly
Cincinnati is hardly a small town
Not where she relocated to. It has changed. It's geared toward young professionals, tourist, and college students.
with the market now her $300000 is probably now $200000.lol
At 28 she realizes working is not worth it but evangelizing retirement is
Title's misleading. $282K in retirement and special funds is not liquid. Far from it. You'd lose a significant chunk of your retirement funds (paying taxes and/or significant penalties) if you cash out early (before retirement age) and the HSA cannot be used for anything but, you guessed it, health expenses. Even the brokerage account is not liquid since you probably made commitments (likely legally binding) for how long those funds would be in your broker's control and cashing out is all about how the market is and how the comprising investments are doing relative to when they were kicked off. Moving to Ohio where the COL is a fraction of that of NYC is also kinda a strange victory. If you can do it, power to ya but most New Yorkers don't want or can't do Ohio (distance, jobs, quality of life, politics, public services, no real city life, car brain) regardless of how many of those billboards (I've seen them in Manhattan) say otherwise.
I agree with you on public services. Especially with the fact that high speed wifi is not as strong like a metropolitan area. I think people leave the city for peace of mind eventually
300k is really low, i would not coast with less than 3M or in the Youth, at fifty can be a different argument

@@atiyarise4131 Every person is not 6 figures so why are they complaining?
These people making a fortune in New York and California and then moving to cheaper(formerly cheaper now expensive) parts of the country are what is destroying local economies. But here CNBC is promoting this like it's a good thing.
Lmao how are they destroying the local economy?!
@Kyle clearly they’re supposed to suffer
So should they just stay out wherever they are? Freedom of movement, baby! Move up or move out!
100k goes much farther everywhere other than nyc and California … 6 figures not a lot of money

@@bradfisher407 sure, said from Retirement perspective!
I’m not sure I’d feel comfortable contributing zero to my retirement from such a young age, but then again you only live once so I do see the temptation…
I wonder what the site is she uses to make that additional $3,000/ Mo. Anyone know?
How do these people earn money with "podcasting"? How do you get paid for that?
Ads
she is just reading articles and getting $3,000/month from that? interesting... I am certainly in the wrong line of work 😂
Pay to get shoutouts on platforms like CNBC Make it, sell courses alongside it to those people that see you in these shoutouts and want to be like you so they pay you for your course to teach them.
@@AlexSchwartzATV yes this video is pretty much an ad for her terrible podcast
@@johnjohnson3390 it’s not terrible. You’re just a hater because she’s out of the rat race and you’re not. Subscribing now
Is she single or is the guy featured in the clips her partner? I'm confused.
Probably a boyfriend, not that it matters.
@@candacedawn357 It kind of does matter 1) because she said in the video she was single (“late 20’s, no man, no kids”) 2) if he contributes financially, that’s part of the story.
