My paycheck rules…. -Bills first, ALWAYS! -Minimum of $100 in my investment account but I usually put $200 or more in there. -$100 into my “fun” or “whatever the hell I want” account. Because not rewarding yourself for all your hard work is just bullshit. Gotta enjoy a little! Whatever is left just sits in my “spendable” account and is used as needed. I feel like I’m pretty damn good at not spending carelessly. I usually have 70-80% of my “spendable” money carry over to next paycheck. I WISH I was this financially responsible on my 20s….
@@tommymack3210 I could and probably should, but I like to keep at least a $1,000 in my “spendable” account for whatever comes. It’s mostly just peace of mind so I sleep better lol
Not if you downsize. Even here in Miami there is housing for $1200. With minimum wage at 13 dollars, it is easy to save and invest and cover all of your needs and still have fun money.
Nope, rent is only that high if you choose it to be. Roommates has always been a great solution for cheaper rent, but nowadays everyone feels entitled to live alone in a nice house/apartment. Another option is to live with family/parents as your roommates. It was previously very common for people to live in multi-generational households, and it helps everyone to afford housing and provides communal support. It’s still very popular among some ethnicities/sub-cultures in the US. Once again, nowadays people feel entitled to live alone, and would rather live large than save money. For the majority of us, poverty is truly about the choices we make.
@@LuckyCharms777 roommates are impossible than me there are only two people in the world I trust to be in the same house or apartment with me when I sleep and both of them are living with their significant other. If I live with you I need to trust you with my life
Here is a summary of the paycheck routine I understood from the video: 50% to pay for wants and needs. Divide as follows: half of it (ideally) for needs (things you have to pay) such as rent/mortgage, insurance, bills, utilities the rest for wants (things that make you happier) such as travel, subscriptions, restaurants, golf, ... 50% to invest. Divide as follows: 20% to save for emergencies in a high interest savings account 30% to pay hight interest debt such as credit card, loans, ... 35-40% for low risk investment , use a tax-free account to invest in an index fund 5-10% for high risk investment such as a business or a side hustle 5% for very hight risk investment (such as crypto)
1200$/month for bills? WOW that would be amazing! I would say my current living standards are quite average and my essential bills are 2400$/month. That's what I HAVE to spend to survive.
@@javierpda It's not fantasy at all, 25/50% baseline you calculate from your own income, regardless of what your income is. If you can't manage that but instead prefer to use the 'rich' card, the issue is you, not someone who's worked hard, managed their finances properly.
@@vehementi8497 “if you can’t manage that” no dude, the “middle class” cannot manage the housing, food & health care market in America right now. Saving 25-50% of your income in an economy that stretches your last dollar till your NEXT paycheck is not realistic for most Americans. The rich card is more about privilege & yours is showing a little too much buddy.
@@vehementi8497sorry but what world are you living in? He just said 1200 for rent and utilities. Let’s say London, 1300 standard rent, 170 for council tax, 100 min for fuel. That’s already about 1600. Food is at least 100 a week if you shop at Aldi. That’s 2000a month total. Phone bill, internet, water another 100. Car insurance or travel to work weekly is at least £50 and that’s without a car lease (which I don’t have but let’s say a lot of people do) if that’s baseline living costs at 25% we are talking a monthly wage of 9100 after taxes. Even at 50% we are talking 4.6k, which a lot of people do not earn monthly, so please don’t talk nonsense.
The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
Having an lnvestment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I nettd over $220K so far, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know
I used to think my Dad was crazy. He'd say things like "It's not what you earn, it's what you save that counts." Simple? Sure. But I appreciate the wisdom included much more now that I'm older.
Our fathers always seem more wise the older we get. Funny how that works. As a teenager you find them annoying, but as an adult you realize how right they always are.
My father is the opposite "you can't spend if you don't earn, and if you don't spend you can't invest!" He says while going out to eat for the 5th time this month after renting for the last 25 years.
@@thetrumansburgproject yes and no. Cuz if you save every year guess what inflation also goes up every year. So your moneys actually losing a little value every year it’s just saved unless your account gives you an apy

I'm thinking to put some cash in stocks, I was at Salt Shack and i overheard some friends saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?
I agree, just because the market presents opportunities doesn't mean we should rush in headfirst. For this reason, we should look for appropriate market analysis or guidance or, alternatively, seek advice from certified market strategists.

Oops sorry…… needs $1200 per month my rent alone is that per month, harder when your earnings are $2500 p/m before tax and running a car which I need for the job. Don’t drink don’t smoke good health (which is part of my wealth) I’m 62 solo female not that easy but will try harder. Gosh life goes so fast.
It seems to be exactly the same thing in the UK; house rent: £1200, council tax: £180, water bill: £50, gas&electricity: £100 (during winter time about £300), home insurance: £20 so you are ending up with £1550-£1750 just to have a place to live. On top of these is Internet, phone bill, road tax, car insurance, personal insurance, and still no ‘wants’ - just to survive you have to earn at least £19/h. If you are on a minimum wage (£11.44p/h), all you can afford is a room rented, and a food. Of course I am talking about working full time, no overtime. Ridiculous.
Saving money is a hard concept for people. Every purchase i decide “is this worth the time I spent to make this money”. Got my 2nd business 2 weeks ago and still consider what I spend money now. Have a paid off home, no car debts, and working on my 2nd property that’ll be paid off in cash not a finance.
Keeping 'Needs' to 25% sounds like such a silly target to me. Average monthly income in the UK is £2300, while average rent is £1270. You've already passed 50%, without even considering ever rising utility/grocery costs.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
A way to pay off debt he doesn’t mention is a more efficient “snowball method”. Start with either the highest payment, highest interest, or smallest debt then every time one is paid off you put that debt’s payment towards the next debt on top of the percentage you would have put forth before. You were already going to be paying it anyway, put it towards the next debt to knock it down faster. Once the next one is paid off put that payment amount towards the next debt on top of the previous, so on and so forth. You’ll cut down on the time required and the interest regardless of where you start.
I live in a very rural state where the COI is pretty low. And even then, an apartment in town will probably cost you 900+. 1200 needs is a hard number to get to if your renting. A mortgage is actually way cheaper.
My finance teacher from way back when used to call the "emergency fund" a "GOK fund." That stands for "God only knows," and it helps in deciphering what may count as an emergency and what may not.

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard.

Me and my brother started investing with as little as £20 a week a few years ago. We became so obsessed with money that our life changed completely, and we managed to get our credit scores from poor to excellent (not directly related to the video, but it is important). We are not rich, but we will be one day. He bought his first house last year, and me... I'm doing well. The important is to start, the mindset will grow on you.
I guess I'm so frugal because I enjoy home made food, only shop for new clothing if I must, and save over 70 percent of my paycheck. Its become so natural for me I dont even think twice about it
I don't see the point in hoarding wealth in this way if you're not willing to spend some of it, though. Why be a millionaire and live out of charity shops? What was the point in becoming a millionaire?
My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.
Invest judiciously, keep a stop loss figure. Shuffle between debt and equity wherever the ratio goes too off your target. As for the target, I recommend a Ratio like this Debt % should be equal to your age in years. If you are 20, debt is 20%, reset in equity. If the market falls or rises drastically, your debt % will change, which you should rebalance to 20% and bring back equity to 80%. Thus you would have bought low or booked profit depending on if it was a crash or a bull run.
It really isn’t about how much you save, it’s about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income vs expenses, so yeah you may look into investment advisors for a strategy that suits your timing.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

I cut out going out to lunch, lowered my cell phone bill, stopped going to the coffee place, buy only the cheap gas for my car etc, figured I’d be saving close to $200/month. Then health insurance, car insurance, home insurance, groceries went through the roof. I’m eating pb&j every day and now have less money in the bank than when I was enjoying life.
Thanks again, internet grandpa! Out of my €3200 paycheck, only about €400 really goes into "wants". The rest goes into "needs" such as mortgage, savings and investments. I find that the self-imposed lack of money for "wants" makes me appreciate the small and free things in life way more, so that's an unintentional benefit.
@@cocofluff no I don't need more money, what the heck are you even talking about. Also, I work 80 hours a week in the army so how about you take a nice hut cup of shutting it?
Last 3 months i was on about $500-700 a week. Current house im in been here for 8months or so and its $350 a week. I spend about $150 a week on fuel. If i had a week or 2 on $500 a week i had no money left for food ect so i was digging into my saving. Im glad ive now picked up another job so i can start saving again
$1200/month is how much rent costs in a cheap place. Then add groceries, utilities, insurance, transportation (gas/maintenance). $2500/month isn't even possible right now
I started with trying to save 5% of my pay, and now I'm saving 2/3 of my pay. It was a struggle at times, but once you get into the habit, it gets very easy. Now, I treat it as a game, trying to find every opportunity to save more and more. I still spend plenty on things I enjoy, way more than I should, but you have to treat yourself occasionally. Retired at 46 and just have a flunky job for health insurance and spending cash. Really just to keep me out of trouble 😂.
My insurances are in my "wants". Thus, now I take only the minimal legal requirements in insurance, and I put the difference with greater ones on a dedicated budget. For instance, I take only a civil responsibility insurance for the car, which covers me for the damage I'd make to others, and I save the difference in money with a full-cover insurance. When my car gets crashed I repair it using the money spared that way. The principle is easy : insurance win money based on statistics : you pay more to them than the damage you need them to cover for you (especially if you're careful and never actually use them). Thus, it is, on the long run, more efficient to pay yourself the equivalent of the greater insurance to make a pool to cover yourself. Also, when you have an issue involving an insurance to cover, they usually make it so they end up not covering you anyway. That method allows me to spare a whole new car every 5 years through insurance earning
Lots of good advice here. I earn about $25 an hour and work full time. My 16 year relationship took an end and now I got to pay down my apartment by myself and pay out my ex for half of the apartment’s worth. I will try to save up money and do what I can to stay afloat. I don’t have any kids so that’s a plus at least. At some point I got to go on a few dates and try to get a new partner that can help me with a few of the bills. Or I could try to rent out my second bedroom to someone.
The way I understood the avalanche/snowball method of paying off debt isn't used as described in the video. The idea is that you pay off the highest interest rate debt first, then you COMBINE that monthly payment into the next debt. So you pay the minimum payment for each debt every month so that you don't default on the loan, but put any extra you can afford toward the highest interest rate debt. Once that is paid off, you add that payment to your next debt. Once the next debt is paid off, you add the payment to the next one, and continue that method until you're debt free. You won't notice a difference in spending because the amount you're paying stays the same, but your debts will be paid off significantly faster. You can also put the extra payment toward the lowest dollar amount debt first instead of the highest interest rate debt, but everyone's situation will be different and you would have to do your own math to figure out which one is the better option for you. Obviously if a debt doesn't carry an interest rate like his "family loan" example, don't put extra toward that. You won't save any money by paying it off faster, and the extra payment is better spent getting rid of something that charges interest.
If my needs were at 25% of my income that would be $875 lol. Rent alone is $1200 and groceries for a family of 4 is $900+ per month. I hate this world 😢
Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $650K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.

Wants don’t even entire the equation, and I make $62k a year. Could I lower rent? Sure, I suppose but I also live and work in DC, so not by a lot.
I've been looking into cryptocurrency investments, but I'm still unsure about the best and safest way to go about it. Any advice or insights you could share?
Sadly you get paid a minimum wage with bills around $1700 to $2000 and your paycheck is $1800 and that's not even counting groceries, clothes... The extra money goes for insurance that again is $320 and then car insurance and so on everything is so expensive that even if you are a budget freak you struggle so much.the only stable financially people that I have seen are those who either have roommates, family members or partners. that are able to have more than $5k a month or more.
Salary 1300€ Rent (the worst one you can get that is decent for living)+bills 420€ Food+whey proteins 250€ Boxing+gym=50€ Internet 30€ Clothes and shoes=maybe 30€ every month That's 780€, so 620€ left Gas 200€ a month Car rent 120€ per month, so 300€ left In a hope that my car goes on forever without braking, I'm left with 300€. That's without any going out, without fixing or registrating my car, without dinner, drinks, karting, bowling, etc. Not to mention international summer holidays for 2 or 3 weeks, it would take years to save for that. I actually realised I forgot to mention that you have to buy detergent and the other thing for washing clothes. Shampoos, hair gel, perfume.. It adds up Saving for a coffee 0.6€ or not ordering a food for 5€ is NOT going to make me a millionaire. Getting a higher salary will. Problem isn't how much I spend, problem is how much I get paid. If I get paid more, I can save more. It's simple as that.
Its Not about that one coffee a week. Its about the 3 coffees every day. There are plenty of people with good salary which are just spending soooo much money everyday. Dont get me wrong, i am also more on the side of the, i will buy myself a red bull at the gasstation at 2 in the night for 4€ but i am also investing 40% of my salary. In the end you need to find a good middleground. Dont getting anything is stupid. You just stopped living at this point.
My house is super cheap rent wise for a 4/3 because we moved in 7 years ago we pay $1850 a month but my current market in my area is $2500 for the house, now add in our $300 electric bill, $200 water bill, $500 phone bill, $500 car insurance, $750 for groceries, $500 for misc expenses $5250 of mandatory expenses for my family of 5
In today's cost/inflation, it's very hard to get your baseline needs at 25% I mean, 15% of the total population can afford that. So basically where I live, you need 80-90k a year do that.
bro what enabled you to be a millionaire is your generation not having to pay so much for rent and mortgage and not having a minimum pay that barely increased in the last couple of decades. im sorry, this is helpful but it just urked me as if paycheck routines were what really let your generation get millions for working factory jobs
You’re right mate but I’m 45, got under $50 a day when I worked as a kid. My 22 year old son gets $600 a day now. Things change and wages have too. But what you say is correct too.
If that's not accounting for inflation value of the money earned and it's not the exact same job and exact same hours then that's not a good comparison

I broken down my needs to 0 ..yes 0 ..I work In seasonal jobs that are in different countries,those jobs give me free housing and I eat at the cantina,no rent,no bills,I have national health insurance in all of those countries because I work legally and pay taxes to that country. So all I have in needs is a couple of flights a year...my wants category is limited because I'm a sort of introvert that doesn't go creazy about to much stuff...so my savings are growing steady and healthy every month by putting aside more then 75% of my salary, sometimes even the whole salary because I have money left over from the previous month for my wants . I'm assured for my old age already,but I can't stop doing this hack 😂it's just to easy.😁 just an ideea to the other people around the world...seek jobs that covers the most of your expenses in a foren country,the amount of money you will save is insane if you can control your spending on wants. Good luck saving everyone
3:15 im earning 17,500 a month. My housing 6k a month and that living with a house buddy already. It depends on the country housing is so expensive. Lucky to have my needs be at the cost of 12k a month.
£5 a day for a year is £1825. I see hes made money, but its a huge outlay for small returns. Not many average people can afford to put nearly £2k per year away. Im glad your son had fun with his "experiment" while that £2k could be the difference between staying fed or keeping the lights on for many working Britons. The Thatcher years of invest and earn vast wealth no longer exist for young people today.
Not disagreeing with the ideas but to say food, rent/mortgage and utilities is $1200/month shows how much out of touch with reality about how much things cost versus how much people actually make is. I would love if all those things could cost that little.
You are out of your mind if you think it’s normal to spend 25% of your monthly paycheck on your mortgage, bills, utilities etc…. I’m on minimum wage and I earn after tax around £1600 a month. £850 goes straight into mine and my partners mortgage, bills and food shop. After you said this, I stopped watching. So out of touch with the real world of today.
For people with his mindset it is normal for it to be 25%, he’s not out of touch. It’s either an economic issue why your bills are 50% of your income or it’s because your content with the job you’re in.

Not if you downsize. Even here in Miami there is housing for $1200. With minimum wage at 13 dollars, it is easy to save and invest and cover all of your needs and still have fun money.
@@MrKeonGraysoncorrection, it is not EASY, but it is doable
@@MrKeonGraysonin Miami if you pay $1200 it’s not good housing at all, I am in Melbourne and single family homes don’t exist under $2000 a month
Nope, rent is only that high if you choose it to be. Roommates has always been a great solution for cheaper rent, but nowadays everyone feels entitled to live alone in a nice house/apartment. Another option is to live with family/parents as your roommates. It was previously very common for people to live in multi-generational households, and it helps everyone to afford housing and provides communal support. It’s still very popular among some ethnicities/sub-cultures in the US. Once again, nowadays people feel entitled to live alone, and would rather live large than save money. For the majority of us, poverty is truly about the choices we make.

Here is a summary of the paycheck routine I understood from the video:
50% to pay for wants and needs. Divide as follows:
half of it (ideally) for needs (things you have to pay) such as rent/mortgage, insurance, bills, utilities
the rest for wants (things that make you happier) such as travel, subscriptions, restaurants, golf, ...
50% to invest. Divide as follows:
20% to save for emergencies in a high interest savings account
30% to pay hight interest debt such as credit card, loans, ...
35-40% for low risk investment , use a tax-free account to invest in an index fund
5-10% for high risk investment such as a business or a side hustle
5% for very hight risk investment (such as crypto)
1200$/month for bills? WOW that would be amazing!
I would say my current living standards are quite average and my essential bills are 2400$/month. That's what I HAVE to spend to survive.
That's right about where I'm at as well.
2400$ why?
@B4TNetwork126 if you live in a liberal city everything is expensive asf.
@@tenzinchoerab3061 Makes perfect sense
I was thinking the same thing lol. The national average monthly mortgage is like $1,800/month.
SO AMAZING! Pay rent. Pay for food. Pay for transport... wait no more money left.
Exactly. 😮💨
His method is valid, his numbers completely wrong. 25% or even 50% baseline is just a fantasy unless you are rich enough in first place
@@javierpda It's not fantasy at all, 25/50% baseline you calculate from your own income, regardless of what your income is. If you can't manage that but instead prefer to use the 'rich' card, the issue is you, not someone who's worked hard, managed their finances properly.
@@vehementi8497 “if you can’t manage that” no dude, the “middle class” cannot manage the housing, food & health care market in America right now. Saving 25-50% of your income in an economy that stretches your last dollar till your NEXT paycheck is not realistic for most Americans. The rich card is more about privilege & yours is showing a little too much buddy.
@@vehementi8497sorry but what world are you living in? He just said 1200 for rent and utilities. Let’s say London, 1300 standard rent, 170 for council tax, 100 min for fuel. That’s already about 1600. Food is at least 100 a week if you shop at Aldi. That’s 2000a month total. Phone bill, internet, water another 100. Car insurance or travel to work weekly is at least £50 and that’s without a car lease (which I don’t have but let’s say a lot of people do) if that’s baseline living costs at 25% we are talking a monthly wage of 9100 after taxes. Even at 50% we are talking 4.6k, which a lot of people do not earn monthly, so please don’t talk nonsense.

The idea of investing a significant sum of money may be both thrilling and intimidating. There is potential for considerable wealth increase with the correct strategy. How can one take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings to about $1M over time?
I think the safest strategy is to diversify investments. Like spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
Having an lnvestment adviser is the best way to go about the market right now, especially for near retirees, I've been in touch with a coach for awhile now mostly cause I lack the depth knowledge and mental fortitude to deal with these recurring market conditions, I nettd over $220K so far, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg joes don't know
impressive gains! how can I get your advlsor please, if you dont mind me asking? I could really use a help as of now
I used to think my Dad was crazy. He'd say things like "It's not what you earn, it's what you save that counts." Simple? Sure. But I appreciate the wisdom included much more now that I'm older.
Our fathers always seem more wise the older we get. Funny how that works. As a teenager you find them annoying, but as an adult you realize how right they always are.
My father is the opposite "you can't spend if you don't earn, and if you don't spend you can't invest!" He says while going out to eat for the 5th time this month after renting for the last 25 years.
It's what you invest.
How did your dad save for retirement? Did he leave you a nice nest egg?
@@thetrumansburgproject yes and no. Cuz if you save every year guess what inflation also goes up every year. So your moneys actually losing a little value every year it’s just saved unless your account gives you an apy

I agree, just because the market presents opportunities doesn't mean we should rush in headfirst. For this reason, we should look for appropriate market analysis or guidance or, alternatively, seek advice from certified market strategists.

It seems to be exactly the same thing in the UK; house rent: £1200, council tax: £180, water bill: £50, gas&electricity: £100 (during winter time about £300), home insurance: £20 so you are ending up with £1550-£1750 just to have a place to live. On top of these is Internet, phone bill, road tax, car insurance, personal insurance, and still no ‘wants’ - just to survive you have to earn at least £19/h. If you are on a minimum wage (£11.44p/h), all you can afford is a room rented, and a food. Of course I am talking about working full time, no overtime. Ridiculous.
You're doing an amazing job given your circumstances.

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!
You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government,
Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment.
A way to pay off debt he doesn’t mention is a more efficient “snowball method”. Start with either the highest payment, highest interest, or smallest debt then every time one is paid off you put that debt’s payment towards the next debt on top of the percentage you would have put forth before.
You were already going to be paying it anyway, put it towards the next debt to knock it down faster. Once the next one is paid off put that payment amount towards the next debt on top of the previous, so on and so forth. You’ll cut down on the time required and the interest regardless of where you start.

As an lnvesting enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. . I’ve been sitting on over $545K equity from a home sale and I’m not sure where to go from here, is it a good time to buy into stocks or do I wait for another opportunity?.
well as you know bigger risk, bigger results, but such impeccable high-value trades are often carried out by pros.
People dismiss the importance of advisors until they are burned by their own emotions.

We Are in Unchartered Financial Waters! every day we encounter challenges that have become the new standard.

Me and my brother started investing with as little as £20 a week a few years ago.

I don't see the point in hoarding wealth in this way if you're not willing to spend some of it, though. Why be a millionaire and live out of charity shops? What was the point in becoming a millionaire?
My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.
Invest judiciously, keep a stop loss figure. Shuffle between debt and equity wherever the ratio goes too off your target. As for the target, I recommend a Ratio like this Debt % should be equal to your age in years. If you are 20, debt is 20%, reset in equity. If the market falls or rises drastically, your debt % will change, which you should rebalance to 20% and bring back equity to 80%. Thus you would have bought low or booked profit depending on if it was a crash or a bull run.
It really isn’t about how much you save, it’s about how you manage your money. Whether you work to earn income or invest, it still boils down to income vs expenses, so yeah you may look into investment advisors for a strategy that suits your timing.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
I think this is something I should do, but I've been stalling for a long time now. I don't really know which firm to work with; I feel they are all the same but it seems you’ve got it all worked out with the firm you work with so i surely wouldn’t mind a recommendation.

Out of my €3200 paycheck, only about €400 really goes into "wants".
The rest goes into "needs" such as mortgage, savings and investments.

If i had a week or 2 on $500 a week i had no money left for food ect so i was digging into my saving. Im glad ive now picked up another job so i can start saving again
$1200/month is how much rent costs in a cheap place. Then add groceries, utilities, insurance, transportation (gas/maintenance). $2500/month isn't even possible right now
I started with trying to save 5% of my pay, and now I'm saving 2/3 of my pay. It was a struggle at times, but once you get into the habit, it gets very easy. Now, I treat it as a game, trying to find every opportunity to save more and more. I still spend plenty on things I enjoy, way more than I should, but you have to treat yourself occasionally. Retired at 46 and just have a flunky job for health insurance and spending cash. Really just to keep me out of trouble 😂.
My insurances are in my "wants". Thus, now I take only the minimal legal requirements in insurance, and I put the difference with greater ones on a dedicated budget. For instance, I take only a civil responsibility insurance for the car, which covers me for the damage I'd make to others, and I save the difference in money with a full-cover insurance. When my car gets crashed I repair it using the money spared that way. The principle is easy : insurance win money based on statistics : you pay more to them than the damage you need them to cover for you (especially if you're careful and never actually use them). Thus, it is, on the long run, more efficient to pay yourself the equivalent of the greater insurance to make a pool to cover yourself. Also, when you have an issue involving an insurance to cover, they usually make it so they end up not covering you anyway.
That method allows me to spare a whole new car every 5 years through insurance earning
It does not make a difference in the UK: about same price for a full comprehensive and a third party only.

Lots of good advice here. I earn about $25 an hour and work full time. My 16 year relationship took an end and now I got to pay down my apartment by myself and pay out my ex for half of the apartment’s worth. I will try to save up money and do what I can to stay afloat. I don’t have any kids so that’s a plus at least. At some point I got to go on a few dates and try to get a new partner that can help me with a few of the bills. Or I could try to rent out my second bedroom to someone.
This is something that needs implementing into our education systems
CONGRATS ON 3 MILLION SUBS
The way I understood the avalanche/snowball method of paying off debt isn't used as described in the video. The idea is that you pay off the highest interest rate debt first, then you COMBINE that monthly payment into the next debt. So you pay the minimum payment for each debt every month so that you don't default on the loan, but put any extra you can afford toward the highest interest rate debt. Once that is paid off, you add that payment to your next debt. Once the next debt is paid off, you add the payment to the next one, and continue that method until you're debt free. You won't notice a difference in spending because the amount you're paying stays the same, but your debts will be paid off significantly faster. You can also put the extra payment toward the lowest dollar amount debt first instead of the highest interest rate debt, but everyone's situation will be different and you would have to do your own math to figure out which one is the better option for you. Obviously if a debt doesn't carry an interest rate like his "family loan" example, don't put extra toward that. You won't save any money by paying it off faster, and the extra payment is better spent getting rid of something that charges interest.

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets.
Indeed, currently I'm managing my finances wisely and being frugal. In the last 19 months, my investments grew by 43%, adding over $650K in profits. However, I've had losses in the past month, making me anxious. I'm unsure whether to sell everything or wait.

Clothes and shoes=maybe 30€ every month
That's 780€, so 620€ left
Gas 200€ a month
Car rent 120€ per month, so 300€ left
In a hope that my car goes on forever without braking, I'm left with 300€. That's without any going out, without fixing or registrating my car, without dinner, drinks, karting, bowling, etc. Not to mention international summer holidays for 2 or 3 weeks, it would take years to save for that. I actually realised I forgot to mention that you have to buy detergent and the other thing for washing clothes. Shampoos, hair gel, perfume.. It adds up
Saving for a coffee 0.6€ or not ordering a food for 5€ is NOT going to make me a millionaire. Getting a higher salary will. Problem isn't how much I spend, problem is how much I get paid. If I get paid more, I can save more. It's simple as that.
Its Not about that one coffee a week. Its about the 3 coffees every day. There are plenty of people with good salary which are just spending soooo much money everyday. Dont get me wrong, i am also more on the side of the, i will buy myself a red bull at the gasstation at 2 in the night for 4€ but i am also investing 40% of my salary. In the end you need to find a good middleground. Dont getting anything is stupid. You just stopped living at this point.
I would also do a Fund for emergancy
Good paycheck routine ,i shared it with my parents so they can be financially responsible
11:11 what to do if I am in Europe?
My house is super cheap rent wise for a 4/3 because we moved in 7 years ago we pay $1850 a month but my current market in my area is $2500 for the house, now add in our $300 electric bill, $200 water bill, $500 phone bill, $500 car insurance, $750 for groceries, $500 for misc expenses $5250 of mandatory expenses for my family of 5
Rent, insurance, utilities, and other bills for only $1,200?!
Where can I sign up to live in this fantasy world?!
In today's cost/inflation, it's very hard to get your baseline needs at 25% I mean, 15% of the total population can afford that. So basically where I live, you need 80-90k a year do that.
bro what enabled you to be a millionaire is your generation not having to pay so much for rent and mortgage and not having a minimum pay that barely increased in the last couple of decades. im sorry, this is helpful but it just urked me as if paycheck routines were what really let your generation get millions for working factory jobs
You’re right mate but I’m 45, got under $50 a day when I worked as a kid. My 22 year old son gets $600 a day now. Things change and wages have too. But what you say is correct too.
If that's not accounting for inflation value of the money earned and it's not the exact same job and exact same hours then that's not a good comparison
Broke mentality
Has to be a sign, I get paid today
got that starbucks yet me lad?
Mark - a totally brilliant video which I will be sharing with my daughter. More of these please. Thank you.
as a 15 year old getting my first paycheck in a couple of days very helpful! Thanks Mark!
Wow, well done to you😊 very wise for one so young. This made me smile. Bless you 🙏😊
@@5763-u4e haha thanks! I just want to ready for the future
@@5763-u4e my son is way wiser though, he started his own plantation at the age of 7 after I kicked him out of the house for playing with toys too much and not cooking for me enough
Just subbed an hour ago lol this is a good reminder for me.
My dad literally did this for over 20 years, and during covid, although his income was lessened but still can afford to pay our family property taxes and utilities, also me and my siblings education abroad without problem.
I regret I didn't start taking his advice seriously earlier (but hey nothing is to late). The only person who take my dad's advice seriously is my youngest brother, who is still a university student but own 2 businesses and recently he runs our late grandfather's spices business with my mother.
As a young man in my early 20s, I've always struggled with knowing how to budget, looking to fri3nds and family when im in a tight spot, but I always pay them back as soon as the next pay day comes. I think this will help me overcome alot of this anxiety and hopefully be able to support myself and family in future :) appreciate the advice 👍👍
Best of luck man!
I pray that you are able to navigate your finances better now, it's very hard when you are young,I wish you well🙏
I feel you man, I'm currently 21 and kicked out of college due to a lot of issues ongoing with my father's health. I understand it's anxious but we will both figure it out dont worry man 🙏
Thank you good sir, I'm 22 and currently working on graduating college. Perfect time to watch this especially bcs I'll be looking for a job soon. Hope you're well and healthy
I broken down my needs to 0 ..yes 0 ..I work In seasonal jobs that are in different countries,those jobs give me free housing and I eat at the cantina,no rent,no bills,I have national health insurance in all of those countries because I work legally and pay taxes to that country. So all I have in needs is a couple of flights a year...my wants category is limited because I'm a sort of introvert that doesn't go creazy about to much stuff...so my savings are growing steady and healthy every month by putting aside more then 75% of my salary, sometimes even the whole salary because I have money left over from the previous month for my wants . I'm assured for my old age already,but I can't stop doing this hack 😂it's just to easy.😁 just an ideea to the other people around the world...seek jobs that covers the most of your expenses in a foren country,the amount of money you will save is insane if you can control your spending on wants. Good luck saving everyone
We have to go to work and build things. Most people need to do productive jobs to provide for slack hacks that invade proper citizens
3:15 im earning 17,500 a month. My housing 6k a month and that living with a house buddy already. It depends on the country housing is so expensive. Lucky to have my needs be at the cost of 12k a month.
Damn you Bruce Wayne?
Mark - you’re a legend. No other words, thanks for all the advice and videos like these. 👍
Going to do this next paycheck!
£5 a day for a year is £1825.
I see hes made money, but its a huge outlay for small returns.
Not many average people can afford to put nearly £2k per year away.
Im glad your son had fun with his "experiment" while that £2k could be the difference between staying fed or keeping the lights on for many working Britons.
The Thatcher years of invest and earn vast wealth no longer exist for young people today.
Victim mentality
Not disagreeing with the ideas but to say food, rent/mortgage and utilities is $1200/month shows how much out of touch with reality about how much things cost versus how much people actually make is. I would love if all those things could cost that little.
You are out of your mind if you think it’s normal to spend 25% of your monthly paycheck on your mortgage, bills, utilities etc…. I’m on minimum wage and I earn after tax around £1600 a month. £850 goes straight into mine and my partners mortgage, bills and food shop. After you said this, I stopped watching. So out of touch with the real world of today.
That's were the "you can increase your monthly income" thing comes in
For people with his mindset it is normal for it to be 25%, he’s not out of touch. It’s either an economic issue why your bills are 50% of your income or it’s because your content with the job you’re in.
Mark, you are a teacher worthy of the highest respect. Thank you
Speed be catching strays
I finally hit 20k today that's a personal record. Thank you for all the knowledge and nuggets you had thrown my way over the last months. Started with just 3k a month ago, 2024 is amazing!
How?
@@jixerbeats384 she's talking bullshit. Wrote the same comment on another video 4 weeks ago where she said she hit with 80k and started with 9k two months ago
@@Nako1997 i figured🤣 but my stupid ahh reads these comments and believes them when I know they be bullshitting
Very informative I wish I could sit down with someone to talk about these things and help figure out financial
Any advice for an investing platform for Australia?
Thankyou
