Nice, I'm also 27 and my net worth is around 180,000. 80k in stocks, 40k and crypto, And 60k in car s. I'm renting on turo. How are you doing now a year later?
I started my fire journey at 22. I am now 24 1/2 exactly today my stock portfolio is down to 13500, I own 2 rental properties and a small home me my girlfriend and daughter live in, we have a easy 125k equity, this is possible. You got it. Learn and save. I was someone who was always broke before learning about fire
Mindset is important, but a dose of reality is also maybe equally important. Like when my brother was ending college, he had a goal of reaching x amount (a very lofty goal, like your subject on this video) of NW by age 30. With a rising stock market and discovering alternative ways of accelerating his market gains. Things were looking really positive. Things really took off when he got a high paying job right out of college. Then the Dot Com crash hit, and let's just say he got derailed, like the train overturning type.
@@RealityCheck787they have $13,500 in stocks and $125k in equity, it’s possible because if the home inflation being so high, the downside is that it’s extremely risky what they are doing and isn’t repeatable unless homes shoot up in price again. Luck was on their side so far but if the rentals need major repairs or tenants stop paying then the whole plan quickly can go upside down.
You guys have made a magnificent change in both my wife’s and my way of handling money and investing it. We have followed you both over the last three years. We have taken over the decisions to control our financial future and have fired two of our financial advisors. We have educated ourselves with your courses and videos and now are very confident with handling our investments. We just want to thank you both so much!
Would love to know if things are better for you after three years of making changes! I've been wanting to take their courses too. Congrats on whatever you have accomplished so far!
I’m 22, started investing at the start of 2021. With all the turbulence in the stock market I ended making a lot of mistakes but I’m glad that I’m learning from those early on while I’m still young. Because of my age I’m willing to take a lot more risk. Now I’m shifting my strategy to investing more into ETF’s, high yield dividend Aristocrats and kings, as well as trustworthy growth stocks such as Apple. I do t have a FIRE number because I plan on having a business empire but I do want to be a millionaire by 30 yro.
Just double up on jobs and payoff a bedroom bathroom suite on bus stops with housemates, and then buy dividends. There's a 95% chance you'll reach financial freedom within less than 4 to 5 years on this plan.
Additional Income is the key. I'm planning on retiring in 3 years before I'm 50. I tell some people and they don't believe me and some who know my capabilities do believe me. Your surroundings is another key to success.
Maybe, maybe not. If you have $1M at age 33, you can more easily enjoy the whole rest of you life when working for money is optional. And who's to say you can't enjoy life while working toward FIRE?

Thank you so much for answering my question, you helped me a lot. I am currently investing on the S&P 500 and also started a youtube channel as a side hustle to make more money. I am learning as I go, reading books and listening to your podcast. The mindset is definitely the hardest thing but it won't stop me. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for your informative videos. For European nationals, investing in the US stock market can seem useless particularly when you would like to invest in dividend and/or as a long term retirement plan: e.g. Issues with having access to your investment, taxes, and earnings as a non-American. Do you have any recommendations of where to start?
Being able to invest $6000 per month is a very aggressive goal, not just for a 23-year-old, but also for an adult who makes good money in the US. In order to save $6000 per month, it would require a salary of over 100K a year! But then you need to account for the essential expenses like rent or mortgage, groceries, car payments etc so you will probably be left with about half of that or $3000. This doesn't mean that this goals is impossible, it just means it will take 20+ years to get there.
Don’t forget taxes. You would need way over 100k income to invest that each month. Thats also if you live under a rock or at home with parents who pay for almost everything.
For the majority of people $6,000 is just unrealistic. I don't even make $6,000 a month. I am looking for a second remote job where I can just invest the entire monthly salary. That's probably the only way I'll be able to retire in general. Not even early. Everything costs so much it's just so hard.
@@moniquemichelle7295yes and no we have the information but don’t forget that you was a adult around the housing market crash where houses where on average 35k we don’t have this luxury that’s why most people your age actually have a house and younger people have to rent
I love you guys and I'm proud to say that at 38 I've found my life partner and were going to be using some of you guys strategy and set goals on the pathway to retiring in 10yrs. Blessings to you both!
I'm glad some young people are planning early. I wish I had done better, but at 50 at least I'm ahead of the curve. Even if very early retirement isn't achieved, it will at least set you up for more financial freedom. You'll be way ahead of the curve.
I'd give anything to go back to 23 and pursue the FIRE movement. So I also feel inspired hearing stuff like this Dividend reinvestment is a great way to increase your cash flow as well
I would love to go back to 23 for a bunch of other reasons too. The years pass by way too fast and sadly you can never go back in time and live your life again.
I purchased one of your packages at the beginning of this year (I believe it was a brand new one that built on itself each month for the course of 12 months). I started it but didn’t fully use it as I was focusing on paying off my credit card debt that was at $18,000 in January and is now at $1,900. When I started paying it off it was at $37,000 so at the end of this year I will be completely paid off! It took me three years and downsizing my rental expenses to having a roommate. It was so hard to think about investing with that monkey on my back. I’m excited to use it now. Even tho I won’t get the full benefits of what I purchased just having the guided template is helpful! Thank you for all you do!
That's about $74,400 a year for 10 years or $6,200 a month for that amount of time. If anyone knows of any good side hustles that can fit that bill - Lets us know please.
Saving $66,000 per year, investing it in the total US stock market with an expected 10% return per year yields a total of investment plus interest of $1 million in 10 years time. Nice goal and thank you for outlining the means.
@@naana-scelyne6370,yes. That's how I understood the video. Invest $66,000 each year for 10 years at 10% per year compounded yields $1,000,000 according to the folks in the video. I didn't check their math but again that's what I took from the video.
@@naana-scelyne6370 You don't want to invest in an individual stock. That is putting all of myour eggs in one basket. Better just buy an index of stocks like the total stock market index - VTI/VTSAX.
The caller is a dreamer. Very very unlikely to achieve her goals. But it is important to aim high, suppose she gets to 500k in ten years that would still be a great achievement.
I would love to be financially independent, but to be retired early is another story. I need to interact with people going through similar challenges as I am. I need to work, even if part-time. The best thing about the FIRE movement is that it views retirement as an option, not necessarily the end goal. Perhaps we should just call it the financial independence movement.
Um? As much as you can afford to invest, bugdeting conscientiously. Taking on debt to invest is a good way to sink yourself - you think you're getting ahead, but one mistake or bit of bad luck can sabotage the whole plan
@@arh1234 I wasn't implying margin. I would NEVER invest on margin. I was implying to find a way to cut another 10 percent of expenses from your budget, and investing that 10 percent.
Thanks for all of the information you share. I too am a govt employee. Left in 2007 and came back in 2018. Trying to maximize my TSP and other investments.
This is amazing about this young lady. My husband and I are so looking forward to retiring next June, 2024 in Portugal. We are looking forward to a peaceful, gratitude and simple life there.
“What u r doing is going to be Unique, but u have to own this journey”. 🙌🏾! Break the old generational mindset they tried to put on u, because obviously that didn’t benefit them.
In the US, the rule of 55 is that if you retire from a W2 job in the year you turn 55 or later, the 10% early withdrawal penalty is waived. Otherwise you have to be 59.5 years old.
Do you guys recommend slow travel? Let’s say rent a villa in Bali and live there for a month or two then go to Thailand. Right now I think it’s cheaper than living here in the US.
Question for anyone that can help - My spouse had mid 250k in 401k last year down to about 220k now. This entire year she maxed 401k all in S&P 500. She will be ending her employment to be a stay at home mother starting the beginning of next year. The plan is to roll everything into an IRA and continue with S&P 500. Is it reasonable to think that in 17 years with average returns of 9-10 percent this amount could grow to one million? Contributions will stop so dependent on reinvested dividends and market growth. Financial advisor told me this was unrealistic, but I’m thinking that this is what the S&P averages over time.
There is a huge difference between average rate of return and actual rate of return. Don’t get me wrong. You can make a lot of money in stock market. But once you throw in a negative yearly return, it messes up the maths results that you calculated using all positive rate of returns, and once again, there’s a huge difference.
If no other contributions think about other save bets like t bulls series I treasurey vonds whole life insurance policies with cash called annuities..there's alot of info out there.
Great video, thank you for sharing. The reality is that dividend investing has a tremendous passive power and it is ideal for all investors, whether beginner or experienced. It requires PAYtience which ultimately PAYS off!
Question: How to achieve my FIRE number as an older person (39 years old - time is key i guess)? Is there still hope for me to be Financial Independent? Thank you!
Retirement officially is 67. So you at least 20 years of dedicated savings. And besides currently the market is in a downturn so stocks are technically on Discount. I started in 2019 at 30 and my 401k is negative with current downturn. So honestly the current market will make you catch up to a lot of people.
Great advice you gave her. One more thing, as your caller is up based she should think about setting up a low cost stocks and shares isa which will allow her to invest up to £20k per year and she never has to pay tax on the returns or growth. There are lots of different types but definitely something to look into if uk based
I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer but ain't investing this much a month impossible for 99 percent of the population ? I cant barely save $6,200 per year in my Roth, let alone per month !
Great video, but it will not surprise me when your daughters retire in their early twenties. Because they have been observing you guys, it just maybe sooner. Thank you all for helping so many people by sharing your wisdom. Abundant blessings to your beautiful family.🙏🏽❤
Even at my age (53) I'm not close to even making $6,200 a month, lol. I do agree, definitely need a side hustle. Start while you are young, can't go back in time. Cheers!
It's the market, if you can't be on it on the bad days, you shouldn't be in it at all. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high, today I am more than 60% down! Hopefully, the markets will go back up.
In the event of a market crash, your investments will be worth less, possibly less than you invested. But do not panic, do not take your money out! It will go back up and you really only lose if you pull out your money and run. The very best thing to do in a crash is to buy more investments bc then you’ll be buying at a discount and will have the potential for a higher profit when it goes back up. 👍🏻😀
@Christina @Amon - In the video, you mentioned the estimate of $6,200 to reach $1M FIRE in 10 years considering total stock market index fund (VTSAX?). Does this estimate consider the reinvestment of Quarterly dividends? Maximizing tax advantaged accounts first? I'm developing my own FI/RE calculation and wondering what inputs you used for this estimate. I've been following y'all for 4 years when I was starting my own personal finance journey, which I've learned/unlearned a lot more through your channel compared to "common knowledge" taught elsewhere.
You guys inspired me for FIRE, I watched your video in august 2019, I am pursuing FIRE. I am in 3rd year but it is very difficult to keep myself motivated all the time. Pls advice what should I do.
Hi guys, this is a great great episode! I have a follow up question: how would the numbers be different if the timeline was a bit shorter or a bit longer? Given the magic of compound interest, my guesstimate is that even a couple of years would shave off the monthly number exponentially. So in a sense, sometimes I think getting there a bit more slowly can pay off.
The hindsight that comes with age…wishing we all did this sooner!! I’m on a mission to educate young people too so that they have this knowledge for their own financial future. Education is key 🙏🏻
I am sorry but I have to remain skeptical after watching this video. The 23 year old caller said she wants to have 1 million pounds after 10 years. It means that in a period of 120 months, she has to save over 8300 pounds each month. I just assume she just graduated from college, what type of jobs she can do to save that huge amount every month?. I am not sure she can even make that amount every month. She really needs to be realistic and evaluates her FiRE number again.
I love your outlook on mindset, this is something I struggle getting my husband to understand. I would like to talk more about real estate, we have the credit and could do VA loans and even down payments but I can’t get my husband to see the potential in it, all he see is risk.
I’m sorry for that! Risk is part of our life! Evaluating it and learning about the sector will lead to a fact based decision. Hope he will do his best and both come up to a consensus !🎉
Hard to tell if this is the right platform for this. But ill try anyways as this is still considered business. Given the present conditions, is it better to invest into Real Estates or into Stocks? Which would yield better output.

My spouse had mid 250k in 401k last year down to about 220k now. This entire year she maxed 401k all in S&P 500. She will be ending her employment to be a stay at home mother starting the beginning of next year. The plan is to roll everything into an IRA and continue with S&P 500. Is it reasonable to think that in 17 years with average returns of 9-10 percent this amount could grow to one million? Contributions will stop so dependent on reinvested dividends and market growth. Financial advisor told me this was unrealistic, but I’m thinking that this is what the S&P averages over time.
There is a huge difference between average rate of return and actual rate of return. Don’t get me wrong. You can make a lot of money in stock market. But once you throw in a negative yearly return, it messes up the maths results that you calculated using all positive rate of returns, and once again, there’s a huge difference.
If no other contributions think about other save bets like t bulls series I treasurey vonds whole life insurance policies with cash called annuities..there's alot of info out there.
Can you discuss recommendations what stocks to invest
great video and question. I am in my 40s and this really got me thinking! thanks for that
I’m 20 on my financial journey I’m very excited
Great video, thank you for sharing. The reality is that dividend investing has a tremendous passive power and it is ideal for all investors, whether beginner or experienced. It requires PAYtience which ultimately PAYS off!
In the video you mentioned to look at episode 2 of the podcast. Is there a link to it?
I’m a nurse . The question is how to learn skills , ideas for a side hustle . Tyvm
Wonderful video - with £5,500 per month invested for 10years. You most likely require x2 jobs with Uk salaries and economy downfall
Many people get bored after retirement. DON'T be too much in a hurry to retire.
Question: How to achieve my FIRE number as an older person (39 years old - time is key i guess)? Is there still hope for me to be Financial Independent? Thank you!
Retirement officially is 67. So you at least 20 years of dedicated savings. And besides currently the market is in a downturn so stocks are technically on Discount. I started in 2019 at 30 and my 401k is negative with current downturn. So honestly the current market will make you catch up to a lot of people.
Sure you can
I started at 60. Today I am in my 70s debt free and relocating to Europe.
39 is old? You are still a young pup.
@@malikahm4053 how?
I reached f.i.r.e from VA Disability, but now the challenge is to try to double fire I guess
Can you please talk about the new laws that were instated January 2022 about which properties you can buy for the golden visa where they are?
Great advice you gave her. One more thing, as your caller is up based she should think about setting up a low cost stocks and shares isa which will allow her to invest up to £20k per year and she never has to pay tax on the returns or growth. There are lots of different types but definitely something to look into if uk based
You're right
You see many people remain poor because of ignorance
I love that you film these podcasts!
I’m going to get my financial freedom journey started now
Yes Matt!!!😀
5k a month! Welp looks we're going to be lean fire lol.
I'm not trying to be a Debbie Downer but ain't investing this much a month impossible for 99 percent of the population ? I cant barely save $6,200 per year in my Roth, let alone per month !
Thanks for all the great content you are posting in this channel. Is it a better idea to invest in Annuities for a 35 year old?
Checking in from the DMV.
Hey there LaShawn!!! ❤️
Great video, but it will not surprise me when your daughters retire in their early twenties. Because they have been observing you guys, it just maybe sooner. Thank you all for helping so many people by sharing your wisdom. Abundant blessings to your beautiful family.🙏🏽❤
So sweet of you to say! Thank you El!
Still don’t know how much to invest & where to achieve this
Forgot about your notification coming early around daylight savings, HI There 😊
Haha! Daylight savings always throws us off! 😂
I realized that I have to invest for my children, I plan on helping and encouraging them on their F.I.R.E journey.
That's fantastic Rachelle!
Amon, don't know what it is about them but I like those new glasses!
Ok Back to the Fire Journey coourse study yes working on my Mind Set! I'm Planning On! Thank You!
Thank you for your great tips and insight as always! I will make sure to share this with my daughter which is close to the same age as your caller !

I honestly can’t wait to have my own side hustle!!
Excellent video ❤
Thank you for the video, very helpful ♡
Great information! Love listening to the channel! Thank you for taking your time to help people!
Thank you Austin!
love your podcast!
Thank you!
Love the Pod. I was thinking of the expression, “Hope is not a Strategy”…but a good plan and some determination…who knows!
Even at my age (53) I'm not close to even making $6,200 a month, lol. I do agree, definitely need a side hustle. Start while you are young, can't go back in time. Cheers!
Great information!!!!!, just subscribed
Retiring in ur mid 30s . . In the States you’ll need like $3M +
Hey, you know my retirement goal but at like 48.
Very helpful! Thank you!😊🙏
Can someone who lives outside the US and is also not American invest into the American stock exchange?
What happens in the even if a stock market crash?
Then it goes down.
It's the market, if you can't be on it on the bad days, you shouldn't be in it at all. Started investing recently when the market prices were a bit high, today I am more than 60% down! Hopefully, the markets will go back up.
In the event of a market crash, your investments will be worth less, possibly less than you invested. But do not panic, do not take your money out! It will go back up and you really only lose if you pull out your money and run. The very best thing to do in a crash is to buy more investments bc then you’ll be buying at a discount and will have the potential for a higher profit when it goes back up. 👍🏻😀
Is there a formula to find out what your monthly investment number should be?
@Christina @Amon - In the video, you mentioned the estimate of $6,200 to reach $1M FIRE in 10 years considering total stock market index fund (VTSAX?). Does this estimate consider the reinvestment of Quarterly dividends? Maximizing tax advantaged accounts first? I'm developing my own FI/RE calculation and wondering what inputs you used for this estimate.
I've been following y'all for 4 years when I was starting my own personal finance journey, which I've learned/unlearned a lot more through your channel compared to "common knowledge" taught elsewhere.
Better also account for inflation on the final fire number
What are some etf she should invest the number in?
Check out our ETF videos! :)
@@OurRichJourney Thank you!
You guys inspired me for FIRE, I watched your video in august 2019, I am pursuing FIRE. I am in 3rd year but it is very difficult to keep myself motivated all the time. Pls advice what should I do.
It's hard to know without knowing you. What is hardest about it for you?
What do you guys think about schd and dgro long term ?!
Joy thank you
Greetzzz from the Netherlands. Sssst, i am going to watch this video right now 😉
👍
Love these two. They changed the way I think about money and life. Making both things seem within my control
Whats u guys opinion about IUL tax advantage cash value
Hi guys, this is a great great episode! I have a follow up question: how would the numbers be different if the timeline was a bit shorter or a bit longer? Given the magic of compound interest, my guesstimate is that even a couple of years would shave off the monthly number exponentially. So in a sense, sometimes I think getting there a bit more slowly can pay off.
Thanks for sharing!
You're the best! Keep it up.
you dont think its risky to invest just one fund total stock market index fund i mean there is no bond somethig like that ?
The hindsight that comes with age…wishing we all did this sooner!! I’m on a mission to educate young people too so that they have this knowledge for their own financial future. Education is key 🙏🏻
I am sorry but I have to remain skeptical after watching this video. The 23 year old caller said she wants to have 1 million pounds after 10 years. It means that in a period of 120 months, she has to save over 8300 pounds each month. I just assume she just graduated from college, what type of jobs she can do to save that huge amount every month?. I am not sure she can even make that amount every month. She really needs to be realistic and evaluates her FiRE number again.
Thank you 👍👍👍
Where is the podcast?
I only make $1700 a month. Started a digital marketing business and fitness business but make 0 of it. I live off 25% of my income
Awesome this has inspired me. Your right it's the mind set. 👍
Awesome ❤
I love your outlook on mindset, this is something I struggle getting my husband to understand. I would like to talk more about real estate, we have the credit and could do VA loans and even down payments but I can’t get my husband to see the potential in it, all he see is risk.
I’m sorry for that! Risk is part of our life! Evaluating it and learning about the sector will lead to a fact based decision. Hope he will do his best and both come up to a consensus !🎉
Thanks for sharing Helene!!
Excellent video Team
Is this episode posted under the wrong UA-cam account? I was thinking it should go under the podcast one?
Love these two.
Hard to tell if this is the right platform for this. But ill try anyways as this is still considered business. Given the present conditions, is it better to invest
into Real Estates or into Stocks? Which would yield better output.
In general, RE
Such great information, as usual.
Thanks Alicia!
You guys are my favorite couple 🙌🏾‼️
Great content.
