    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
      @wgemini4422 2 роки тому +35

      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 all my children's college education paid for and they get a amount monthly when in school to help but now they are all yr or so about to leave home ready to start next phase and with increasing cost want to add to my monthly income to keep feeling comfortable and not tighten budget. Thanks for videos. Just saw for 1st time. We have our healthcare taken care of and got good credit and don't owe a lot my mortgage is very low but looking to purchase another home now and keep my other home. Wishing everyone security and safety and peace of mind.

    My two pennyworth:
    Buy index funds.
    Don't borrow money when you shouldn't.
    Don't buy things to impress people you don't even like.

    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. Thanks again Mark

    In Canada the form of tax free retirement plans are called an RRSP, you can invest a certain amount per year based on your income and it wont be taxed until you remove it. 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)

That way, someone can help build your next income stream faster (think mastermind groups or someone who can connect, valuable people). Or you can diversify your potential income streams by being an investor for a friend (think: lending money to a friend focusing on real estate and receive shares from the rent).

    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.

    • @andyjohnson9402
      @andyjohnson9402 Рік тому +1

      @TDVL Production depends. Usually running 8 or 9 credit lines and couple credit cards. Normally all at zero now. But it's nice to have if you have a house flip to do. Or the market Dips. But when I got out of school 4 had balances. Paying the equal on all 4 seemed OK but it seemed to go way faster and ibwas much more motivated by knocking them off smallest to largest.

    I'm 34 and only started investing 3 months ago now. So far I have $600 which is not really a lot but I am very happy with it because quite frankly it's the most I've had saved in my life so far. I wish I found guys like this when I was 18 because I could possibly be retired now and enjoying life more but still I'm only 34 so it's not too late for me. 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. Maybe I started late but I will not allow that to happen with my kids, I will be for them what I wish I had when I was younger.

      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'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.'

    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.

My husband and I live much more modestly and are quite happy that way. The other friends are always in competition with each other and massively in debt. We all have kids, so, yes, you can also live the way he describes with kids.

    You have a lot of great points and ideas. The only thing I would disagree about is I personally feel any debt is dangerous and should be avoided. But I know guys who have made money leveraging it so it's all about your willingness to take on a certain amount of risk. I love your multiple income streams, that is a brilliant idea and much easier for most people to do than they think. Sometimes the simplest and most obvious ideas take someone to point them out to us before we realize they are there!

    I would argue that you want to have a small emergency fund BEFORE paying off even high interest debts. Yes it takes longer, but if and when something breaks or happens, you aren’t putting yourself in further debt paying for a new clotheswasher on your credit card because you don’t have bail out money set aside for emergencies.

He does not give any specific advice on what to do or how, or base on different income levels. It's as if everyone is making 6 figure salaries and just pissing their money away on credit cards.

Then when you can afford to play with the share market. Passive income like ecommerce and drop shipping is that over saturated you’ll never make money from it unless you are using an original idea that people will actually buy. And it’s pretty hard to come up with an original idea these days. But still great advice.
