    It's not how much you make, but how you manage it. I realized that even high earners can retire broke, while modest income earners can build wealth. Living below your means, adopting a frugal lifestyle, and consistently investing are the foundations of financial freedom. After 10 years of disciplined saving and investing, I celebrated hitting $2 million last year. Now, I'm cheering on everyone striving for financial independence. Remember, financial freedom requires ongoing effort, but the peace of mind is priceless.

      Wow, congrats on reaching such an impressive feat! Should I prioritize saving or allocating a significant portion of my salary to stocks for long-term growth?

    • @waldenharvey1278
      @waldenharvey1278 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      To prioritize, consider allocating 60-80% of your investment funds to stocks for long-term growth and 20-40% to savings for emergency funds and short-term goals. However, it's essential to consult a financial expert to determine the ideal allocation based on your individual circumstances and craft a tailored plan aligned with your goals.

      I agree! I've found that having a plan, even when circumstances change, has been instrumental in my financial journey.Starting work at 19, buying my first home at 28, and seeking professional guide after a layoff at 36 helped me navigate my financial growth. Now, I'm just 25% away from reaching my goal of $1 million, thanks to smart investments and guidance.

    You need to make $110K per year over 40 years and that doesn't account for inflation either.... 🤔 good luck America. Wife and I left for more affordable pastures so we could retire early.

      4.4 mil is for a household over 40 years. So that's only $55k/year per person which is around the median individual income. As median income implies, 50% of people will make more, 50% make less.

    Key point. $4.4 mill is for the whole household of 2 adults, and for 40 years (25-65). That means $55k per person per year. This is the median individual income in the US. So 50% of the people make more than this, 50% people make less. So the american dream is achievable for 50% of the Americans.

    0:45 - From age 25 to 65 with the median income 2:11 Which is 80k a year or 1500$ a week. Making 1500$ a week is not easy especially when these 1500$ a week opportunities don’t come up every day.

    His figure of the average person earning 2.8 to 3 million over their 40 years working is for household and not individual. The average individual will earn 1.6 million; that's based on the median income of 42K per year. 2.8 million over 40 years is 70K per year. No way the median individual income in the US is 70K.

    almost a million dollars in cars? What a joke... today's cars will easily last 15 years. so 4 cars in a lifetime at 25000 a pop net cost per acquisition after rolling over equity is 100k, x 2 cars is 200k, not 800k

      I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of
      information can be a big hurdle. I've been
      making more than $100k passively by just
      investing through an advisor, and I don't have
      to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my
      finances remain secure. So I really don't blame
      people who panic.
