    50 now, and everything is paid for. Fortunately, I had a college economics teacher who taught me a lesson when I was 18 years old. That lesson was: you can't buy something else for every purchase you make. Having multiple sources of income is prudent, as is living within your means. I have a 13-year-old vehicle because it is all I need, I like it, and I can do whatever I want with it. My net worth is $4 million, and I can pay my bills without stress, but I don't live like I have that. I have no complaints.

    I work at very big and prominent bank in Nyc specifically with clients of high net worth. And I totally agree. I observed that the working-class clients with the largest balances (6 & 7 figures) tend to be very routine, plane-jane disciplined savers, and consistent workers. They spend less than they make and are not easily given over to sales offers/upgrades. Most of them are not even “sophisticated investors”. One of my clients is a doorman for a luxury building, whose had his job for about 30 years. He’s about to retire and has even had a flip phone up until recently and His retirement assets are about $1.2MM. He’s definitely not into exotic savvy wealth building tactics, and is not in a 6 figure job. It’s really about discipline and consistency

Then I bought real estate. I have always stayed as close to debt free as possible and am debt free now.

You guys have a genuine ministry and provide a genuine service and your audience is so very lucky to have this resource. I just wish with all my heart the mouth breather comment didn't have to happen so many times. Everything you said was so good and encouraging and helpful, but I cringed every time I heard the words "mouth breather". There is so much to glean from what you say and I feel like once "mouth breather" is said, your audience is taken on a mental journey that muddles your objective. Again I loved absolutely everything else about your channel and I will be back for more, but in case you care I wanted to point out that people are mouth breathers because of a physical deformity or sinus issue and maybe have a firm grip on the fundamentals of living a clean abundant debt-free life.

    My primary problem with Daves study is that it’s a biased sample that they took from their customer base, so of course it will show a strong lean toward their methodologies.
    That’s not to say the studies aren’t directionally true. I’m not arguing against what he teaches. I’m just saying there definitely are other ways that are better for different populations. His type of advice is very broadly applicable though, and that’s supremely important.
    Just a quick example - I’m confident doctors become millionaires more frequently than teachers by x years out of their given program. But I’m also confident that doctors listen to dave less frequently because his target audience is more geared toward an “everyday” class of people.

      I'm not sure he knows what it means! It sure didn't sound like it! But maybe he just didn't take time to explain the difference between mean and median. It might have helped some people if he had explained it, though. 😄

    FYI... I know where I live they averaged the administrators in with the teacher salary when they do surveys. So it would be interesting to know if that extraneous variable was part of the median number in the data. Just a thought thanks for all your videos I enjoy them and I'm taking your FPUcourse

    I am a financial consultant in Canada. Just getting going on my career in the financial industry at age 37. It feels late. Would have been nice to get going on it in my early to mid twenties. I played sports growing up, so I pretend that I just finished my pro baseball career and lost everything - went broke after career, and am now beginning a post-baseball career. Lol
    Here in Canada, we have a great product called segregated funds. We have mutual funds as well.

    I had the benefit of knowing very early that I would not get squat from my boomer parents. I have not been perfect with money, but I have no debt and am well on my way to being a millionaire by retirement. Still when rich people flex I always wonder if they got a helping hand from being born into money. I find that most who flex actually had tremendous advantages coming from well to do/aristocratic families.

    By your own admission, you own assets in mutual funds and real estate. Which go up in value because the dollar is losing value. That is not a misplaced fear. it's a reality that nobody cares to think about and consequently, although you mean well your advice inadvertently leads to asset bubbles in real estate and stocks. indiscriminately, throwing money at things that allegedly go up in value is what causes the prices to rise.

    Wonder what type of millionaires they will interview those who started business or who developed something that was a utility patent. Those who just manage paper assets compared to buying RE and used creativity on what to do with it plus continuing education from others and with others as a team. Those business owners will have to be looked at as self employed and business as a team sport in strategy and/or alliances.
