      Nate, let me be very honest here - every time I watch your videos, I feel like I should have been focused on my financial wellness in my 20's. I am now picking up the pieces in my 30's. I salute you, Sir! If anyone would like to support my channel with subscriptions, I would greatly appreciate it. At least, I have to stay positive, right? I post awesome videos about NYC three times a week. I will post a new video today at 7:30pm EST. Make sure to keep on the notification bell

    1. Buy too much house (the bigger the more buck)
    2. Tapping into your retirement funds (definitely will regret in 10 yrs time)
    3. Foregoing further educational opportunities (not limited to university/college - books, videos...)
    4. Skipping insurance (get it for your kids while healthy, life insurance may not be granted to people with chronic illnesses or other serious issues)
    5. DIY Investing (Jumping into the stock market too fast)
    6. Not refinancing your mortgage (depends on credit score, interest rate)
    7. Not withholding enough taxes (from your paycheck) - consider having more withheld for more buck back at the end of the year
    8. Too many subscriptions (cut cost where possible - lots of payments to subscriptions make no sense)
    Thanks for these videos Nate!

      We bought too much house compared to our income, but not too much for our family size, but now, the rents went up, our income went up, but our mortgage payment is almost the same. We are in California too. It’s so worth it, and I would rather save money in other areas. I am super frugal, watch any of my videos and see for yourself.

      $400 for Utilities not too bad. I try to shut off all unnecessarily lights and catch rain water for garden.

    HELOAN, HELOCs and cash-out refis should ONLY be used as leverage for investing in rental real estate. If you have sufficient equity in your primary residence and you’ve done your due diligence and the numbers work out on a great deal, a HELOC is preferable as you can pay it off when your ARV (After Rehab Value) on the new acquisition is enough to refinance the total debt. Service that debt from the rental revenue and enjoy the residual net cash flow. Then use it again on future acquisitions. This is what I’m doing.

    • @georgestone0123
      @georgestone0123 Рік тому

      Hey Girl, I got a 200k HELOC from my 580k primary home which I’m still paying mortgage for ($1880). I want to only use 50k for this duplex property’s down payment. The new property is 150k so my monthly would be around $650 plus the HELOC debt of 50K. How or can I even combine these two debts (mortgage and HELOC) together for a more affordable monthly payment??

      After a disastrous first year at a crazy expensive private college, I learned my lesson & chose public colleges after that. If you’re a state resident, they tend to be far less expensive. I also wouldn’t skip filling out the FASFA & Tap/Pell Forms-no matter what you think you’ll get. Also, I think it’s important not to overlook scholarships offered by your school. Especially those offered specifically for your major. They tend to be less competitive & easier to get. I also applied to several other outside scholarships as well. The key to those is research, diligence & patience. Hope that helps!

  • @realwarriorscholar

    Great advice. I made the mistake of buying too much house, not buying life insurance early and not saving enough in 401k and Roth IRA.

  • @ChancellorsThoughts
    @ChancellorsThoughts 5 років тому +2

    Hey, Finance major here. Life insurance is definitely a good idea! However, be careful of what type of life insurance you buy. Term life insurance only pays out less than 5% of the time (which is a good thing, kinda). Other life insurance can be very expensive, but can also have saving options which gives you a cash value at the end so you don't lose money paying a term insurance.
    Another option would be investing in something else (which is more risky, but risk = reward). Say you invested in something that produce a 7% interest rate (lower average of S&P 500 index). That would be enough to be even with the insurance policy except you get all the assets in the end, as well as, increasing the worth of your portfolio more than, say, a guaranteed 3% interest rate with a life insurance cash fund (in term insurance you most likely would receive nothing when your contract is up, hence 'term' insurance). So a young family may need life insurance, but after you have saved enough in another account there should be no reason to throw your money into that hole.
    Side notes:
    1: Buying life insurance depends on the individuals, situations, and market conditions to be able to succeed in avoiding having to pay for life insurance for long. Life insurance may be the best option for you. (Its like a forced safety net, good for most people).
    2: My source is just from what I have learned. I am in college, I could be completely wrong... but I have a 3.83 GPA, have read multiple books on personal finance, invested in stocks, and consider myself decently educated.
    3: This is just a recommendation. This is not for everyone. I just want people to think of their other options to maximize ROI and not to pay later down the road on investments you don't need.

    @theandrewdelgado 5 років тому +1

    Hi Nate, this is a great video. Love your work! Refinancing your mortgage may not be the best way to go. It depends where you are on the loan amortization schedule. After the halfway point, the majority of your payment goes toward Principal which is building equity into your home. When you refinance, your amortization schedule restarts and you then start to pay mostly interest again. I would prefer putting more equity into my house so that I can get to not having a mortgage payment sooner and put more equity into the home. The second option is that if I plan to sell it in the future, I can continue to put equity into the home and lower my debt to income ratio so I retain more money during the sale. What do you think? Thanks!

    Would very much like to know how do you manage and keep track of all the money from different sources that are coming in or going? I used to use an app called wallet to track my income and expense patterns. However, after taking my first engineering job, the income sources become scattered and keeping track of them became a hassle. But on the other hand, if I don't track the money, I tend to overspend. How do you deal with that?

    People should save money for an emergency fund, before saving for investments. Investors usually recommend having a 6-month or one-year fund of your spendings. In that case, you can put money in riskier investments and still have money for emergencies.

    $6/month for Amazon Prime? I want that deal...I'm paying $12.99/month. Also, a quick tip on that topic: if cancelling your Amazon Prime or Netflix subscription is too extreme, but you know that you wanna take a break for a bit, you can also just freeze your account for a few months. If you don't wanna quick cold turkey, but know you won't have time to use their services for a few months, that could be a good option (and it will obviously stop the subscription charges during the allotted time).

    On the tax part... you don't want to do your CD strategy you must have at least 90% of your previous amount taxes paid or 100% of the current years taxes paid by the end of the year or you can get hit with a penalty. Basically the government is saying they want to earn interest off your taxes and not let you.

    Thank you for sharing !! My today's take awake is about investing. I heard in an other of your video that it really worth when you play with bigger amounts but it's true that it's better to train with smaller amounts first. So I'm about to start investing just after I end to give back my debts. I feel motivated. I still can start to learn about investment right now. So I guess that my first investment will be in a book about investment 😎
