      I got 2 cc at 18. Paid them off every month and they claimed I didn't ruining my score for a decade :D great advice. These companies don't want us to have good scores and will lie to make sure we don't

      I have a honey bee farm so I am planning using us farm loans and farm programs to expand my land holdings. I want to build a fair size lavender farm that could make my honey worth more plus expand the cosmetic stuff I make to sell.

    The concept of mini-retirement changed my life. I'm no longer waiting for some retirement paradise when I'm 65. It helps to know how to fund the lifestyle. You know, making money while you sip that piña colada by the beach does help. I wouldn't have been able to do it otherwise.

      Not everyone has the skill to succeed in investing, but it's easier to follow the guidance of an experienced consultant. With the right one, you could earn anywhere between $10,000 and $40,000. Online businesses are also a good option if you're savvy.

      A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

      Even though I engage in investing, I feel disheartened by my lack of expertise in assessing the performance of individual companies and determining the optimal timing for stock purchases. The erosion of my financial reserves due to inflation adds to my concerns. At this point, I require precise market trajectory information, but I find myself unsure about the appropriate course of action.

    I had a few motivation concerns a while ago because I was only investing into stocks I believed in and didn't understand how to pick reliable ones to grow from. After finding your channel I've had a lot more confidence and less stress in getting by because no one else was offering the kind of information you had in your videos. I sure wish I found these videos sooner because I'd have been in a position to begin some part of freedom, but after getting older it helps you make effective decisions and fall-back options. Thanks for looking out for people despite being wealthy yourself, there's such a negative stigma behind people having a lot of money because people always get jealous or envious but putting some of the advice into practice has already helped me so I know it's genuine.

    I think the ideas and concepts of this video are great and a good start to work towards financial freedom.
    That said, perhaps I missed the part where you can go from $0 nest egg to retirement in 7 years. If you invest at a 8% return for 7 years. You would need to invest approximately $9300/month. Or just $111k/ per year. That seems very unlikely for the vast majority of people (to invest/save $111k per year). It is briefly touched on at the end. But I feel like the title is for views/clickbait.

      @wgemini4422 3 роки тому +37

      It is a lot worse than that. Based on the 25x rule, if you contribute $111K/year and assume you save 50% of your gross income (which is next to impossible), you will need $5.55M to retire. With 8% return, you will need 21 years for that. And mathematically, it doesn't matter how much you save, as long as you follow the 25x rule and save 50%, the result is the same. In order to do it in 7 years, you will need 51% annual return.

      It is true that the numbers seem skewed, but it is possible to do within say 10 years or so. If you live on a tight budget for a few years, and work either overtime or start a side hustle and work more than the average person, and invest in good index funds that don't give back only 7% but morel likely 10-12%, like the S&P, than we are getting close to our retirement level.

    I have found paying off the debt with the lowest balance is the best way to go. You will end up potentially paying a little more interest but seeing card by card of credit line by credit line fall away and leaving extra actual cash flow every month (even if that money goes right onto another debt) is very motivating rather than spreading them out evenly for a long long time. in fact you may, like me find that after one or 2 are paid off you are even more motivated for the next one.

You can also open a TFSA which is a Tax Free Savings account, you are able to put in how ever much the government says(it is the same amount for everyone) currently you can put $6000 CAD into your account per year. both of these are tax free options for investing if you live in Canada(even if your not a citizen, but there are some other walls)

      I'm 56 now. It took several years and many jobs later to get to where our annual expenses are 50% of my net income. Everything takes time. So if you are saying that you still have debt that amounts to 16% of your net income then you are getting close. So kudos for that. I read a book when I was 27. "The Millionaire Next Door". That book taught me how not to spend my money. By 34 I was debt free. Then I got a married. The plan was to save for 5 years to buy a house cash but my wife wouldn't listen to my logic. Now WE have only $149,000 left to pay it off. Even though WE could theoretically pay it off in the next 3 years WE had to put that plan on hold. Because my daughter is off to school and we are paying it all so she doesn't start her career in debt. So it will take a little longer to pay off the home. But we have no credit card debt, no auto loans, no using our home equity to borrow any money. We live well but we don't waste any money on impulses or things that lose value over time. Hopefully no suprises in the next 4 years!

I have 2 kids aged 6 and 2 and one more coming soon. I will be teaching my kids all about investing soon, well only the oldest one for now but I will teach them all about it and have them investing no later than 10 years old. I want them to have that option to retire early if the desire and do absolutely whatever they wish with their life.

      Heads Up: *For an old man to be [this knowledgeable] about how to build wealth by talking about crypto, apps for index funds, and comparison methods for retirement accounts, while developing and wielding all of this information for UA-cam Channel postings and video production with graphics, etc.., tells me that this video and many like it, are complete bullshit. I'll explain: Question: Just how many older people that you know, are actually into UA-cam Video Channel Videos that know to ask you to Like, Subscribe, and are Monetized? Answer: Very very few. This video and many like it, are the culmination of a very sophisticated product investment and marketing plan. Personally, I can compare what the man is saying compared to exactly what I did while living in Poverty, though I did not take most of the approaches the man is talking about. Thing is, Friends:
      You have to be established enough, educated enough, and capable enough, to do everything the man is talking about. You can't just sit back in life, while broke, with very little money, but yet, expect to suddenly become 'this shrewd about Money and Investment, unless you are prepared to watch several years of UA-cam videos until you gain enough Mastery of Investing Education to simply take this man's approach with any level of personal confidence. Yup, takes time to learn to actually do what the Man is describing.'

    While trying to build income and prepare for retirement, It’s important to choose stocks that are expected to hold up in inflationary environments. To combat the negative effect of inflation, it’s a good idea to diversify your portfolio across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, since this can help protect your portfolio against inflation. I have seen People making up to $400k in a quarter of a year during high inflation

    The biggest problem with these steps is worrying about a great credit score/paying down huge debt. Contrary to popular belief, you can not only live comfortably without credit, it also supports healthy spending habits, which supports investing early and often. I havent checked my credit score in over 30 years and could care less what it is. It hasnt stopped me from owning multiple homes, land, & cars over that time. You dont need to "pay down high interest creditors/debt" if you dont fall victim to the credit trap in the first place. Pay cash or dont buy it, and dont buy it unless its a NEED, not a WANT, theres a big difference. Keeping up with the Joneses just puts you in debt like them and perpetuates the credit slavery cycle.

Then when you can afford to play with the share market.

      Similar situation here. I've done some number crunching and even investing a small amount monthly (£150) can amount to £125k in 25 years at around 7% return PA.
