Life Advice from a Smug Couple - Reading Hate Mail
#REPLAY Following on from Rebel Finance School 2024. And, watching it on a Monday Night! Thank you Donegans 😍 🙏 😍
Quick Q - if it is better to be with Halifax when you have higher amounts of investment, can you CHANGE platform once you hit this eg from vanguard to Halifax. Nowhere near there yet, just useful to know!
Hey this is great 🎉 Do you have a google sheets version of the debt calculator?
great video thank you!
13 mins in and somewhat frustrated by lack of a definition of Net Worth - what counts as Net Worth? cash/savings/investments only? or physical things?
given I don't know what you are including in Net Worth, I can't answer the question - and this really, really bugs me.
@@lucysaunders4051 hey Lucy, the video goes through everything that is in and out of the networth. It take a little bit of time to explain as some of it is more contentious and a lot of what we think about as something that will not look after you in retirement is what people traditionally think of as an asset. Thank you for the feedback. The video does explain if you keep going and in the next version in 2025 we will work to bring it forward.
@@rebeldonegans yes, I did work that out - and have now listened to all of it, but you were asking me to answer a question without giving me parameters - maybe its because I'm a teacher and I want to answer questions and I want to get it right and am just deeply frustrated by not being able to get it right because I don't know the definitions/parameters.
Thanks a Million guys........ thanks from me in the future! See you in NZ! X
Really like MMM!
Just an FYI - the 2015 NHS pension is a career average (still DB), not final salary pension.
Thank you so much - a fabulous journey with you
@@alisonrussell5132 thank you Alison! What a lovely message and we’ve loved having you and accompanying you on your journey!
Fabulous thank you for sharing! Am I missing something - is it better to have money sat in, say a General Interest Account - (I have a Trading 212 ISA) and to leave it as uninvested cash and gain interest until able to buy more stocks (bed n isa?) - is this more tax effective than say holding the cash in a bank with the same amount of interest, a bit unsure about this? Many thanks!
Great content 👍 very clear and useful information
@@06callum06 thank you Callum! This is such a lovely comment. we appreciate you ❤️🍍
Thank you Donegans for sharing your financial knowledge and wisdom. Looking forward to coming back in a year.
Bryce Leung also amazing - book ordered!!!
Aw, Canada does not seem very competitive compared to USA or UK. It has no capital gains allowance. 50% of capital gains are taxed, regardless of the amount, even if it is only $100, you would pay the tax on $50. Then, for anything above $250K, the tax is 66.67% or 2/3.
What are you opinions on other funds e.g. the ones discussed here? ua-cam.com/video/uNZKKYVKaN0/v-deo.html
Great series thank you. Just playing catch up you say you wil be covering certain subjects in week 7 week 8 etc. how do we know which sessions are what weeks?
Truly lifechanging and magical. Looking forward to touching base in 1 year! Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤
@@itskate9294 we can’t wait to hear that you have been up to!! Thanks for joining us on the adventure!
Really liked the way you interview MM with questions from the audience and it is quite amazing he has thought about some of the philosophical questions raised by the audience and just pull out the blog that covers the topic! Absorbing watch. Well done Donegans
I really love Kristy's ethos!
I enjoyed the interview with Pete. Thank you for having him. At 2hrs and 1 min Katie mentioned using books and blogs to educate oneself. I am a strong advocate for books (and blogs, courses like this, etc.) and agree thier is a wealth of information in books. Reading books is how I become financially literate and am so grateful for that education :) Thank you both for a great 10 week course!
At 41 minutes you explained how increasing the withdraw rate lowers how much one needs to save. That thinking is different than mine since I think about increasing the withdraw rate (e.g., 4 to 5%) to have a higher spending amount (e.g., $40k to $50k per year) and thus the amount saved stays the same e.g., $1,000,000. I understand your thinking though too.
Great Presentation. Thanks!
Thank you so much 😊me and wife love it
@@Norfolkpaul thanks Paul!! Hope to meet you in real life one day!!
@@rebeldonegans awesome always up for coffee ☕️
How do I get my apartment cleaned for free and without going crazy? 😂
You guys are great and you have lovely friends. Interesting to hear MMM's views. Good to talk about some of the ethics of FIRE.
@@katiecourt6241 MMM is great isn’t he! Thank you for the lovely comment ❤️🍍👍🏼
Thank you so much. Life changing, and FUN xx
@@patricialaing3512 I’m so happy you enjoyed it! We love running RFS and I’m so grateful for you coming along to the course ❤️
Love you guys too ❤

Life Strategy funds would be better described as de risking. Particularly the older age group and protection of larger portfolios
Thank you
Very enjoyable series! Well explained with humour and in simple terms. Can I just clarify that Vanguard do not pay you to promote their funds? Sorry if that has been asked before - I am catching up on this series!
@@jonathanmerrick7326 glad you are enjoying them! We get nothing at all from Vanguard. Would be nice if we did 😜! No spinsorship!
@@rebeldonegans Many thanks! Actually I found out the answer to this a few minutes later at beginning of Episode 7 so sorry for troubling you. Catching up fast now.....
@@jonathanmerrick7326 wow. You are flying. Can’t wait to hear what you think ! Week 8 was update , 9 is completely new!
Great Q&A. Thanks for answering all my submitted questions, that was so valuable for me🙏
@@MrJDHarvester our pleasure John! We love helping ❤️
I learned a lot today. This was the bit I was unsure of and it was explained really well.
Any thoughts on SoFi?
Hey Nellie. Is this slow FI or something else! So many new acronyms now!
Just watched on #replay - great session and lovely to hear a slightly different perspective too. Still love you both Katie & Alan for all the work you do for this community! ;)
Thank you Judith! Thank you for tuning in ❤️
Thank you so much
Our pleasure! Lovely to have you ❤️
When you talk about investment/investing, I'm assuming you are talking about the stock market somehow. So lets say you buy 1 share for $100. I don't see how that compounds (lets assume no dividend, for ease.) If you leave the stock in the market for 20 years, you still have 1 share after 20 years. Sure, the price of that stock might have gone up (or even down), but I don't see any compounding or 'growth on the growth'. A price increase, hopefully, but no compounding in the traditional sense. Why? because you still have 1 share. Just because there is a price change, this does not equate to compounding. IMO, there is a subtle difference. Compounding would be, say, putting something like $100 into a 5% per annum interest bearing account. After 1 year you have $105. Then you put the $105 back in to the interest bearing account for another year, at 5% to get $110.25. The $5 from the first year has itself grown in the second year; that's compounding. I don't see how compounding happens in the stock market; its a price change. Any thoughts? (Edited to tidy a few typos)
@@JC-welliz JC thanks for your message and love your thoughts. Compounding works on many things. Mostly the example we use is the stock market as we primarily own low cost index funds I am not sure why you rule out dividends at the start of your message. Most shares pay dividends. You buy a unit of an index fund that owns many companies around the world. That goes up in value and produces dividends. With an accumulation unit of a dividend those dividend are reinvested buying you more units and there for more shares. The next year you have more shares that bring in more dividends that are reinvested to buy even more. Therefor the whole thing compounds over time. What was the reason you said let’s assume no dividends? That’s one of the things that makes the compounding work in the stock market! Alan
@@rebeldonegans Hi Alan, thanks for the reply. I assumed no dividend yield simply for ease and to avoid ambiguity in my calcs. I'm not sure you can say most shares pay dividends - some, yes. Even factoring in dividends (S&P 500 avg yield is approx 1%) the change in price of your asset (lets assume its a growth-based change in price as opposed to a decline.) is due to growth, not compounding. They are different and I think are confused in your video. Your article seems to suggest all the growth from comes from compounding; it does not. If you have an accumulation fund or dividend paying investment then yes, some will, but it is nowhere to the level you suggest in your article. The majority of the growth comes from growth, not compounding of dividends. cheers
Hey JC I am curious how are you defining compounding? I would love to know what this word means to you then I can think it through and engage more. What is your definition of compounding?
@@rebeldonegans Hi Alan Compounding = reinvestment, resulting in an increase to the number of UNITS of the underlying asset. Growth = an increase in PRICE of the underlying asset The low-cost funds that you often mention in your channel achieve the bulk of their price change through growth in the price, not compounding of the underlying asset. Over and out from me on this one!
I will buy the book ... (late starter here)
Thanks for tuning in! So glad you found it and you can always make progress no matter the starting point
Yes
The "meat" session of a magnificent course ! And I almost didn't sign up for this. How lucky am I that I did ! You exceeded all my expectations: the content, the delivery ( you are excellent speakers and I think you haven't used the filler " you know" at all 😀, very warm and with unbelievably humble and serving spirits, witty, fun and super engaging... the list goes on and on). You are the phenomenon: extremely well thought through, organized and executed course, in which you poured out your hearts, minds skills and energy and ... for free ! Never came across such an extremely generous offer. Still it is hard for me to believe it. My hope is that you do feel appreciated from all of us and feel our gratitude. Where can I fill out the survey, please.
Fab
@@samanthahighley3203 thank you Samantha! Excited to see what you think of the rest of the course ❤️
Thank you so much for answering my question about bonds and my defined benefit question. No bonds for me 😊😊
Our pleasure Alison! I’m glad it was helpful and thank you for the question. Sending happiness! ❤️
Nice to see you have more than 10,000 subscribers now - well deserved
Thank you! Next stop ONE MILLION!! Hahaha
@@rebeldonegans who knows, it may grow asymptotically!
Are you saying it’s not linear?!?!? ❤️
This was fantastic, thank you all for taking the time to have the session! I took many notes and will definitely be referencing this in the future. Thank you for making complex concepts very simple and straightforward, and doing so with humor!
Thanks so much for this q and a and deciding that your purpose in retirement is to "give away all this financial knowledge freely"! It was interesting hearing your perspective on the 4% withdrawal rate strategy. The 4% is pretty common, but are you planning to discuss other withdrawal strategies? Week 10 maybe?
@@learning.finances thank you for your comments and I’m so glad you’re enjoying the course! I’m interested to know what you mean by other withdrawal strategies? Is there anything you particularly would like us to cover?
