Net worth truly snowballs after $100k! Keep investing regularly and you'll be blown away how much it can change in a few short years. Here's to $1 million and to FIRE!
Safest approach i feel to tackle it is to diversify investments. By spreading investments across different asset classes, like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown. its important to seek the guidance of an expert
Dow was at $30,000 at the time of this video…fast forward to now June 2024. Dow is now $38,800. Don’t listen to the BS…invest in the US people. Nuff said
People get too caught up with dollar figures, just live well below your means, get debt free and stay debt free and enjoy life. You will never have enough money no matter how much money you make if you chase dollars.
@@joel0990 Thats not true,thats the ultra rich with billions not the rich.They do that to avoid paying taxes from selling their stocks.The only debt thats good to leverage on for the average joe would be a mortgage,you do that by getting a 30 instead of 15 but other than that you should not play with fire on ANY OTHER DEBTS.
Assuming that two million dollars they accumulated over 20 years evenly, so $100,000 a year, if they’d just put it into the s&p500 they’d be over ten millions dollars right now
Ironic how many people in comments shaming these people for their financial illiteracy..... yet they are in a better financial position than most people ever will be.
Exactly!!! There is always opportunities when you have cash. That cash is trash is completely not true. They can spring board leaps and bounds with the cash they have.
@@justinhenryrebelthe whole point is that they didn’t take those opportunities when they presented bemself. Buying into the stock market is one example of a great opportunity to use your cash, but instead they sat on the sidelines for twenty years. They are still in a great spot but in hindsight that 2 million could have been ten.
Investors should always put their cash to work, take bold steps into buying more stocks especially In 2025, we'll start to see more market diversification. I already plan to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2025
Since risk is at an all-time high right now, perhaps you should be a little more patient and return when it has decreased. Alternatively, you can consult a trained financial expert for strategy.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
My CFA “Diana Casteel Lynch”, a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Yeah some people just have to accept that they are good at earning money and saving it. Investing isn't for everyone and with how much they make, they can do pretty good without it.
This caller is me with an extra 0. I’m now 40 with a net worth of 800k. How much money have I left on the table by only saving and never investing except personal real estate? It makes me sick that the fear has held me back.
One can invest in many types of endeavors such as using money to start a business or in assets such as real estate in hopes of generating rental income and reselling it later at a higher price.
According to Timothy Eric Meek an expert, Investors usually consider that a greater period of time, like months or years, is needed to generate acceptable returns.
If I had $360k I would invest $100k in tech & $260k into dividend stock with a proven track record to grow with capital appreciation & dividend increase year over year
Adding JEPI and JEPQ are smart additions in my opinion. As for staying committed to higher-risk investments, it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals.
The market is not necessarily a rollercoaster if you know your way around the market, there are various opportunities in the present market to accrue good profit, If you are not too savvy with the market, just buy and hold on strong companies with good earnings, or consult with advisors on ETFs and actively managed funds. that’s what works for my spouse and I. We've made over 30% capital growth minus dividends.
Finding financial advisors like Rebecca Nassar Dunne who can assist you shape your portfolio would be a very creative option. There will be difficult times ahead, and prudent personal money management will be essential to navigating them.
when they print 35% of the money ever in existence in one year everything is bound to go up. that money doesn't stay in cash it moves into assets as the value of cash goes down. dilute the money supply and you end up with stocks at all time highs.
You sound like my friend.... I had 1.2 million from an inheritance and I invested most of it in real estate in Hungary/Spain/Egypt. The rents themselves bring me over 60k a year. I also invested 10 grand in an online store and that's working well. Sitting on your money is never a good idea. A lot of people like the comfort zone and don't go out of it. A significant amount of money can be turned into a lot of money very fast.
It is sad because by letting that money sit in a checking account, she is losing around 200k on average every single year that should be compounding. I'd be sad if I lost 200k a year for no reason.
Why is she in trouble? She should be applauded for saving money. Many people have great fear and so do many LARGE companies like Apple who are holding onto billions.
There a difference between sad and afraid. Being afraid is not completely irrational if you don't educate yourself on a subject. What is irrstional is refusing to learn. Calling Dave was the first step, and she with her husband are young and wealthy enough that they can correct their mistake of the past.
If she invested in 2019, 2M would have been 4M if she kept it in a index fund! What she needs to hear is “dollar cost average”. Read about it if you’re scared to invest.
@@nikitapestov1711checking in from the future, 2M invested in 2020 would be worth about 3.5M today. And realistically they’d be invested in a diversified portfolio including bonds, the chances of them losing out compared to holding cash over the long term is almost zero
@@TonyCox1351 I can't believe there are still people out there trying to victory lap minor market downturns as they keep all their money under their mattress... how much evidence do they need?
What this lady needs to understand is it’s better to have a $2M asset (I.E. rental properties) than $2M sitting in the bank where the value of it can only go down.
I wouldn't push for investment of the full $2M. Investing say $500,000 is ok, just in case the investment flips upside down. What Dave and others minimize is the reality of who is left holding the bag when investment go bad.....the investor. It's a reality nonetheless. Everyone is in a unique situation and has obligations to think of like kids, wife, parents etc. If I'm comfortable with investing $1,000 in this stock and you are ok with investing $10,000 in the same stock, then so be it. We know the risk and accept the consequences....positive and negative. I would advise this caller to put some of her 2 million in say CDs or Treasury Bills. Other options is land. It sells well if you hold it for time. A 2 acre property in a rural are I know of was worth $10K 5 years ago. It's sold for $49K a few weeks ago. I wish I would have purchased it 5 years ago. Imagine larger pieces of land. Nothing is perfect, we just have to do our research and proceed accordingly.
I started my kids investing in Roth IRAs in high school. By the time they started high school they had each saved up $20,000. They both drive older used vehicles and will graduate from college debt feee with savings. Most of their friends spend money on cars, food and expensive clothing.
Sir this is an eye opener video and I would be retiring in 5 years and I'm curious to know best how people split their pay, how much of it goes into savings, spendings or investments, I earn around $90,000 per annum but nothing to show for it yet
Research dividend aristocrats and choose six to ten companies with over 25 years of dividend payments. Consider working with a financial advisor to build a strong portfolio.
@@Angelavaldess Speaking from personal experience, I would say engage professional guidance. Not sure where you get an experienced one, but if your knowledge of the market is limited, it seems like a good bet.
45% of Americans do not invest in the market because they lack guidance. Every year you don't invest, you are falling behind.…. Seeing my portfolio at $600k is surreal all thanks to my advisor.
@@Higuannn I’m a Travel-Nurse, and my job doesn’t permit me the time to properly analyze my holdings/evaluate stocks myself, so I’ve had a fiduciary " Alicia Estela Cabouli'' " actively restructuring my portfolio for the past 4 years.
I want to hold on to Cash for an entry point based on an indicator /RSI, But for a salaried person with savings of about 150k, I think an SIP may be more beneficial as holding cash for long period. But will parking cash like this provide stable returns?
Here you can do is to create some short time SIP's Or can do RD's so that you can invest some amount of cash punctually then use these saving to buy dips. Also you could contact an investment advisor for informed decision
Working with a financial advisor has been a game-changer for me. They provided invaluable insights and tailored strategies that aligned perfectly with my risk tolerance and financial objectives. With their support, I've seen significant growth in my investments and gained confidence in my financial future
Opting for an inves-tment advisr is currently the optimal approach for navigating the stock market, particularly for those nearing retirement. I consulted with a coach when I needed to invest my $120K savings, and my p0rtfolio surged by nearly 85% in 6 months.
Could you share how I can reach out to them? I've recently sold my condo in Alabama and I'm interested in investing in stocks, I'm just seeking proper guidance.
*Sharon Lynne Hart* is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment. she's really good.
I’ve been diligently working, saving and contributing towards financial freedom and early retirement, but the economy so far since the pandemic has eaten away most of my portfolio, what I want to know is this: Do I keep contributing to my portfolio in these unstable markets or do I look into alternative sectors.
Invest in S&P 500 ETF, for as long as possible. Do it as often as you can. Try not to withdraw this money and let compounding do its work. Prioritize patience and a long-term perspective most importantly consider financial advisory for informed buying and selling decisions.
A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors 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.

Dave is right. Low fee, high quality MF or ETFs are the way to go. Especially if you’re doing a VOO, vong, vstax, or vonv. Not a lot a thinking involved. I believe it’s called, diversification.
You’re talking about a married couple that saved two million cash and paid off home in less than 30 years. They have options before retirement not issues. I bet they get maximum social security as well.
@@RomilCPatel Don’t matter. Ask anyone debt free with two million and paid off home getting maximum social security payout. I doubt they want to fly a private jet to the grocery store or anything.
So many haters. I'm surprised to hear this. Dave and his philosophy is all about self empowerment. Kudos to this family for being diligent. The total dollar value doesnt matter... and we should be happy for them and their success.
You are right, total dollar value doesn't matter BUT they left money on the table which was relatively low risk. Her reason for doing so was silly. They listen to other people and got scared and didn't do their own research. No matter how you slice it, there is a difference between having $2 million at 50 years old and having $5 million. BUT as Ramsey said, they can still change that over the next 10 years, that $2 million can turn into $4.5 easy.
@@TheFruitney BUT they also still have 2Mil. Always easy to say what you should have done after. I dont disagree with what you are saying. We tend to be way to cash heavy and could be farther ahead from a net worth perspective... but we also sleep really well at night not having any debt and having a good cash cushion.
Yeah man, I remember when I was younger. I thought I was hot stuff, got into stocks, and absolutely failed. Learned my lesson. Moved on to safer investments, such as playing at the casino.
I feel like they know how to save but they don’t know much about investing. They’re afraid of losing what they saved so they don’t know how or when to invest. I can understand that.
There is no best time to get in. Get a pro help or learn to diversify. Most people pay more attention to the shiniest positions on the graph at the cost of proper diversification. But just get a advisor, that's your best chance. I use a regulated FA and it's been an awesome experience.
Hey bud, I find myself in a fix right now. I have a lump sum of around $300k an inheritance sitting in a savings account doing absolutely nothing at all. I wanna get something started with it but I need guidance on where and how. You seem to be doing excellent for yourself.

Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks
@@lennoxmutterick6434 However, if you do not have access to a professional like Suzanne Gladys Xander, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments.
Diversify is the best option when having that kind of money instead of putting it all in one category! So if one fails well at least you got other investments that hopefully will make up for that failing one.
There’s a difference between 2 million and having grown it to 3 or 4 million. Huge difference. I have 2 million and everything online says I’m only middle class and it’s not a lot of money.
Even high-interest rate savings account will lose money... with these types of interest rates... It's pointless to not invest money if you are saving over an extensive period of time...
It’s crazy in a country full of people with little, negative , or zero net worth? Home paid off. Zero debt. Nothing to worry about. Still doing better than over 90% of the population and will be fine.
There's no such thing as a "high interest savings" account anymore. You are guaranteed to lose at least 2-3% MINIMUM a year, that's $60k a year gone for no reason.
@@StasTalksStocks hurts to think about what they missed out on they could have had more to spend day to day over the past decade and came out with much more money in the end.
I think many people (my wife) forget that the day you retire your money keeps working for you. You do not cash it all in the moment you walk out of the workforce.
Best thing to do if you are afraid of investing is to just start with a very small amount, like something you can forget about. And eventually when you see it grow over time your fears will be gone really fast. Just dont get carried away when you get excited and put on too much risk.
Everyone talks a good game about "Buy low, sell high", but few people actually have the guts to invest when a crash is happening. Note sure what magical circumstance is going to occur that makes people comfortable "buying low".
I keep it simple I pretty much own the S&P 500 and short term treasuries to help with volatility a little bit. Problem is everyone is trying to outperform the S&P 500 but in reality most will not and will kick themselves years later wishing they had just kept it simple and not chased the sexy tech stock or crypto or whatever. Can you get lucky? Sure but you can also go broke. Keep it simple stress free and let your money grow slow and steady and when you wake up in 2-,30.40 years you will be happy and probably avoided many mistakes along the way.
I totally understand her. If you have saved $2M, you have to look at every single dollar and make a decision not to spend. Think about deciding to buy off brand peanut butter to save $1, then thinking about putting all of 25 years of saving and the chance that it could be gone. Even if not likely.
All anyone needs to do is look at a 30 year hypo on an good S&p 500 fund and realize that even with the bad years over 30 it compounds many times over. Lack of education is the real issue. When you study it the only real risk is NOT investing.
this is why learning about investing when you're young is so important these people could have upwards of 10 million if they had been investing all this time instead of letting the money sit there.
@j j just asking the critic to see if their strategy worked out better. Was yours, or are you going to deflect yet again? Do you have a net worth of more than $2MM (whether it be cash, real estate, stocks, businesses, or commodities?)
If I was in her place: 2M I would divide into - 1 condo of 300k to live - 2-3 houses to rent out - Remaining money in CD or Mutual Funds that yield monthly dividends
I disagree. If I'd saved all my life successfully, I'd be terrified to throw it into equities at 40x earnings with the fear of a massive global crash due to all the QE, and overvaluation of every single asset. I'd be much more tempted to sit in cash and wait for the crash.
Fascinating discussion. Is it still advisable to keep idle funds in a savings account with an average interest rate of 0.85%? I am seeking a more effective means of diversifying my portfolio, considering the prevailing inflation and the substantial tax implications associated with cryptocurrency gains. Additionally, given the recent decline in stock prices, housing, and the overall financial market, I am interested in learning the most efficient approach to make my money work for me while minimizing the impact of market fluctuations during this bear market. Do you have any recommendations or tips to share?
Honestly, I have been contemplating the market volatility for the past year, and it seems that many individuals are unsure about how to navigate this bear market, especially if it is their first experience with such conditions. Going from reaching all-time highs to incurring significant losses can be quite disheartening. Have you considered consulting a certified financial analyst (CFA) to develop a customized diversification plan tailored to your specific portfolio? Personally, I recently achieved a milestone of earning my first $100,000 during a period of significant shifts in Federal Reserve policies. You might want to consider investing in reputable mutual funds such as Vanguard, Schwab, or Fidelity. Cryptocurrency can also be lucrative due to its high returns, but it's important to exercise caution. Opting for stock-based mutual funds could be a prudent choice to mitigate risks.
@@jessicasquire As I approach my retirement in the coming months, I would greatly appreciate any advice you can offer. I have actually attempted to engage the services of a certified financial analyst (CFA), but it has been challenging to find one who possesses a comprehensive understanding of various sectors.

@@patrickbrussels4454 Finding the perfect CFA for my needs was a process that required some time and effort.

@@Austin6403 it will make things much worse, once that status is lost. Not only you will have to deal with printed money but also the incoming wave of extra cash that other countries no longer want to hold. Like russia in soviet union once satelite states didn't want to hold Rubles anymore.
I very much doubt they can live on 80k a year if they're used to having income levels that let them accumulate $2m in cash over 25 years, and pay for the kids college educations... If they expect to continue to live on $200K a year, having $2m in cash might only support a little over a decade of retirement. The short answer to her question is "yes, you missed the boat, but that was you're choice. And it's probably not a good idea to dive in and try to get on the boat now, when you have a history of sea-sickness and hydrophobia".
I'm in the same boat. We have 2.6 M most made by saving, not investing. Invest maybe 1/2 in AOR or 1/3 in SPY then every 10% drop add allocate 10% more.
Dollar Cost Average but if I was all cash right now, I wouldn't put all of it in now because we are in the everything bubble. They are in more of a pickle just because they weren't investing in things slowly over time. It's alot easier to swallow a loss when you bought the S&P at 1100 20 years ago but still managed to have a great return even with a 30% loss now.... if it happened.

I have been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. One way to minimize the anxiety out of stock market investing, is to make sure you keep a large cash cushion. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.
Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!

Yeah first invest in education. But there’s a very simple exercise you can do to overcome the fear of losing your money, so what ever dollar amount you’re comfortable losing start there. Once you can execute your trading plan or your investing plan flawlessly without making mistakes you’re ready to move up to a higher dollar amount, you could almost think of it like exercising your mind. gradually work your way up a little bit at a time.

I would consider incremental investment. I had just started investing in September of 1987. I put all my money into the S&P 500. A few weeks later was 19 Oct 1987. I was too young and dumb to shrug it off and realize it was a great opportunity. Had I started my investing 6 weeks later I would have had an entirely different outlook. Ito took me years to get my head right about investing. I'm OK now and I use that as an example to my kids of 'don't watch Bloomberg everyday' (I still do)
Around the 4:30 mark... Dave, why don’t you leverage the bank at a low interest rate for your real estate purchases?? You could have 4x’s the return plus interest write offs on that which would be helpful for all that increase in cash flow you have.
Dave made his money in show business. the actual particulars of his financial advice is misleading. he should be telling everyone to get into show business!
I'm 27 and if I had that $2m I could retire easily with my way of living in my home country even after calculating inflation for the next 50 years. I wouldn't even worry about investing coz that's all the money I need for my lifetime.
There have been some times when laddering CD's provided as good of return as the stock market without the risk of a down turn when you want to withdraw the money. The whole deal is that they spent less than they took in.
I think they’re overestimating the returns. Sure the S&P is up about 4x since 2000. But it’s not like this lady had 2m in liquid assets 20 years ago. She’s been slowly accumulating that wealth over time. She’d probably have more like 4m had she been dollar cost averaging that money into an S&P 500 index fund as she was making it. Not to mention she could get upwards of 4-5% now in CD’s and high yield savings accounts right now.
$2 million invested in Amazon in January 2001 would be over $330 million today. Granted they didn't have that entire $2 million in 2001, but just an example.
Last thing I'm going to do with 2 million is to continue working or invest. I'm going to somewhere with a lower cost of living and enjoy my new found wealth. 2 million can go a long way in SE Asia. Quality of life is pretty comparable to more advanced countries and bound to improve even more. Spend every single cent before I kick the bucket.
This is very true. How many wealthy people or billionaires became wealthy by wages and salaries or by saving in a bank account? You don't even know one right?
I get it. Always scary to drop your money on unpredictable. Yes it mostly goes up, but it's hard earned and that feeling it's gone when it's gone... at their age now, it's hard to get back. Someone else commented dip a little at time to see how it works out. Probably what I would do.
You have to get educated and understand what you’re buying. Once you understand that you’re buying actual companies with real people and possessions, it’s a lot easier to stick it through. If you treat it as little numbers on the screen going up and down, you will be in trouble.
2 mil in the bank is scary. Hopefully they have that money spread out in 8 different banks. The opportunity she missed was unbelievable. She needs a financial investor pronto !!

One can invest in many types of endeavors such as using money to start a business or in assets such as real estate in hopes of generating rental income and reselling it later at a higher price.
Investing also differs from speculation, as evidenced by the investor's timeframe.
Speculators are typically looking to gain from short-term price fluctuations that occur in weeks, days, or even minutes.
According to Timothy Eric Meek an expert, Investors usually consider that a greater period of time, like months or years, is needed to generate acceptable returns.

I keep it simple I pretty much own the S&P 500 and short term treasuries to help with volatility a little bit. Problem is everyone is trying to outperform the S&P 500 but in reality most will not and will kick themselves years later wishing they had just kept it simple and not chased the sexy tech stock or crypto or whatever. Can you get lucky? Sure but you can also go broke. Keep it simple stress free and let your money grow slow and steady and when you wake up in 2-,30.40 years you will be happy and probably avoided many mistakes along the way.
I totally understand her. If you have saved $2M, you have to look at every single dollar and make a decision not to spend. Think about deciding to buy off brand peanut butter to save $1, then thinking about putting all of 25 years of saving and the chance that it could be gone. Even if not likely.
All anyone needs to do is look at a 30 year hypo on an good S&p 500 fund and realize that even with the bad years over 30 it compounds many times over. Lack of education is the real issue. When you study it the only real risk is NOT investing.

Fascinating discussion. Is it still advisable to keep idle funds in a savings account with an average interest rate of 0.85%?

If they managed to save $2m, maybe they are used to a lifestyle that would be to expensive for that savings.
Downturns are the BEST time to invest 😭😭😭
Unless it keeps going lower for 5-6 years
Exactly, when there is nothing but bad news, that's the time to invest.
@@RandomRabbit007 What? Putting your money into the market when its crashing is the best value.
But she doesn’t owe uncle SAM a single penny.
Fear in investment is terrible. You are afraid then you do nothing and miss out !
Good overview, but perhaps lots of further discussion needed on where they should invest to match their risk tolerance
Buy some apartment units that are value add and then leverage the debt to buy more and build more units in those properties you buy.
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing below the $100k mark and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $234,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest a huge percentage of my profit and it got more interesting.! For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home at the beginning of summer.
Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks
@@Donnafrank-k6e However, if you do not have access to a professional like Suzanne Gladys Xander, quitting your job to focus on trading may not be the best approach. It is important to consider all options and seek guidance from reliable sources before making any major decisions. Consulting with an AI or using automated trading systems can also be helpful in managing investments while balancing other commitments.
@@AlexHunte98 Oh please I’d love that. Thanks!.
@@Donnafrank-k6e Suzanne Gladys Xander is her name
Lookup with her name on the webpage.
This is very relatable. I've saved about 1.7 million and I want my money to work for me. Any ideas how I could invest for good return?
Well it's not that hard to make lots of profit if you optimally allocate funds, but it requires some technical analysis. I'll highly recommend you work with a financial advisor.
I agree. I started investing with a CFP who has a good understanding of the marekt. This third quarter I've already made more than 150k in net profit.
Very interesting. Could you recommend who you work with please?
Marissa Lynn Babula is the advisor I use. And her performance has been consistently impressive for me and my other friends she manages portfolios for. You could look her up yourself if you're interested in reaching her.
My CFA is “Marissa Lynn Babula," a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Hand it over here I can work with it 😂
Sup stas
I wish I could figure out how to purchase a new car. Dealers refuse to sell to people who want to pay cash. Love to see a show on this.
$2M is enough to put into a good income fund and just live on.
that is how we lost our savings during the 90's in Romania during hyperinflation. check out the video I shared.
@@StarPathAcademy this is the USD, reserve currency of the world. Not romania
@@Austin6403 it will make things much worse, once that status is lost. Not only you will have to deal with printed money but also the incoming wave of extra cash that other countries no longer want to hold. Like russia in soviet union once satelite states didn't want to hold Rubles anymore.
@@Austin6403 USA is still in a good position right now, but things could change fast.
@@StarPathAcademy Agreed
One cannot lose what one does not have. She made (saved) a lot of money. She's done great. She should look into the future and make no mistakes.
Fear is a powerful thing.
I felt the same way when I first started saving money. I’m glad my parents taught me about stocks. Now almost 75% of my money is stocks lol
She could live on 80k a year for the next 25 years
she can live off 40k for 50 years. spending 40k a year is a lot
I very much doubt they can live on 80k a year if they're used to having income levels that let them accumulate $2m in cash over 25 years, and pay for the kids college educations... If they expect to continue to live on $200K a year, having $2m in cash might only support a little over a decade of retirement. The short answer to her question is "yes, you missed the boat, but that was you're choice. And it's probably not a good idea to dive in and try to get on the boat now, when you have a history of sea-sickness and hydrophobia".
Inflation buddy
@@wealthelife yeah they must be making 400k to save 2million in cash and pay for college. Unless their kids went to community college.
But what about nursing homes and similar expenses, like home health care. That's my concern.
I hate when I have this problem
They're getting in possibly the worst time ever. Everything is hyperinflated.
😆 do you know what hyper inflation is? You sound like those people that Dave says are scaring everyone.
Fear mongering bologna.
@@MrTmenzo k cool. Have a good day
Totally agree! People are in for a big shock soon.
I'm in the same boat. We have 2.6 M most made by saving, not investing. Invest maybe 1/2 in AOR or 1/3 in SPY then every 10% drop add allocate 10% more.
why only 1/3 into S&P 500? You can legit put 50% in it and you will be fine.
Album Oriented Rock made you money
Dollar Cost Average but if I was all cash right now, I wouldn't put all of it in now because we are in the everything bubble. They are in more of a pickle just because they weren't investing in things slowly over time. It's alot easier to swallow a loss when you bought the S&P at 1100 20 years ago but still managed to have a great return even with a 30% loss now.... if it happened.
51% of traders think this year would favor stocks, mutual funds, and other equity-based investments, despite Treasury yields and other safer cash-like investments paying big. I’m looking for opportunities in the market that could fetch me $1m ahead of retirement by 2025
Look for stocks that have paid steady, increasing dividends for years (or decades), and have not cut their dividends even during recessions. Alternatively speaking to a certified market strategist can help with pointers on equities to acquire
True. Having the right financial planner is invaluable. My portfolio is well-matched for every season of the market and recently hit 90% rise from early last year. I and my CFP are working on a 7 figure ballpark goal, though this could take till Q4 2024.
I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help, who is this investment adviser that guides you

I looked up her name online and found her page. I emailed and made an appointment to talk with her. Thanks for the tip
Have a job on the side and enjoy the money
It’s never enough...
I have been a dividend focused investor for a long time. This does not mean I don't own growth stocks, I do. A well rounded portfolio should be a mixture of both categories. One way to minimize the anxiety out of stock market investing, is to make sure you keep a large cash cushion. I invest in the market, but never put all my money in market.
Dividends are dope. Personally, I sometimes use my dividends to buy other dividend and growth stocks for diversification instead of reinvesting in the same stock. To each their own methods though. The good thing is that you’re investing in the first place and that’s what’s important. Salute for the content!
Technically they lost money in savings accounts Due to inflation factored in
Yep, and they are trying to leave the Fud phase, because the Fomo is getting too strong.
I’m 37 and My mother just recently passed suddenly in a tragic car accident with a tractor trailer that was found at fault. They agreed to a 2million dollar settlement. Plus my mother’s life insurance gives me another million. All of this happened so fast and it’s so hard to process. I’m trying to learn financial literacy while being in shock as to what happened to my mother. I’m just in total shock. I have to make this money work for my son and myself because I know that’s what she would want
She mentioned 2001...but what about 2008-2019? March 2020 was the latest big opportunity she could have 2x-3x her money.

Yeah first invest in education. But there’s a very simple exercise you can do to overcome the fear of losing your money, so what ever dollar amount you’re comfortable losing start there. Once you can execute your trading plan or your investing plan flawlessly without making mistakes you’re ready to move up to a higher dollar amount, you could almost think of it like exercising your mind. gradually work your way up a little bit at a time.

@@millville444 Nah I don't eat canned junk food. My health is at the top of my priority list and should be for everyone's,
I would consider incremental investment. I had just started investing in September of 1987. I put all my money into the S&P 500. A few weeks later was 19 Oct 1987. I was too young and dumb to shrug it off and realize it was a great opportunity. Had I started my investing 6 weeks later I would have had an entirely different outlook. Ito took me years to get my head right about investing. I'm OK now and I use that as an example to my kids of 'don't watch Bloomberg everyday' (I still do)
Yes Ramsey 🙌 keep your emotions out of your investing!
Around the 4:30 mark... Dave, why don’t you leverage the bank at a low interest rate for your real estate purchases?? You could have 4x’s the return plus interest write offs on that which would be helpful for all that increase in cash flow you have.
Dave made his money in show business. the actual particulars of his financial advice is misleading. he should be telling everyone to get into show business!
I'm 27 and if I had that $2m I could retire easily with my way of living in my home country even after calculating inflation for the next 50 years.
I wouldn't even worry about investing coz that's all the money I need for my lifetime.
There have been some times when laddering CD's provided as good of return as the stock market without the risk of a down turn when you want to withdraw the money. The whole deal is that they spent less than they took in.
I think they’re overestimating the returns. Sure the S&P is up about 4x since 2000. But it’s not like this lady had 2m in liquid assets 20 years ago. She’s been slowly accumulating that wealth over time. She’d probably have more like 4m had she been dollar cost averaging that money into an S&P 500 index fund as she was making it.
Not to mention she could get upwards of 4-5% now in CD’s and high yield savings accounts right now.
I can’t wait to find this mutual fund Dave has been talking about
Lost out on 20 years of tech stocks OUCH, that 2mil could have been way more.
10-15 easy
$2 million invested in Amazon in January 2001 would be over $330 million today. Granted they didn't have that entire $2 million in 2001, but just an example.
Last thing I'm going to do with 2 million is to continue working or invest. I'm going to somewhere with a lower cost of living and enjoy my new found wealth. 2 million can go a long way in SE Asia. Quality of life is pretty comparable to more advanced countries and bound to improve even more.
Spend every single cent before I kick the bucket.
*Things are getting worse, it's so bad that having a job doesn't mean financial security*
Not having a job is the new financial security.
What do you mean????!!! it has always been like this. ur kidding urself if you believe u the past is better than the present time...
It never did.
This is very true.
How many wealthy people or billionaires became wealthy by wages and salaries or by saving in a bank account? You don't even know one right?
Yeah I agree with you, I think the best time is now .
When in doubt the safe thing to do is buy gold and or silver. Must be physical and not just a piece of paper.
Too scared to invest a single penny. Too scared to be in cash. I'm guessing she will be too scared to take any advice she receives.
I agree.
Go into hard assets without counter party risk.
I get it. Always scary to drop your money on unpredictable. Yes it mostly goes up, but it's hard earned and that feeling it's gone when it's gone... at their age now, it's hard to get back. Someone else commented dip a little at time to see how it works out. Probably what I would do.
You have to get educated and understand what you’re buying. Once you understand that you’re buying actual companies with real people and possessions, it’s a lot easier to stick it through. If you treat it as little numbers on the screen going up and down, you will be in trouble.
@@mspaic10 I dont disagree with that
2 mil in the bank is scary. Hopefully they have that money spread out in 8 different banks. The opportunity she missed was unbelievable. She needs a financial investor pronto !!

You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 9%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so I’ve been sticking to investing via an analyst.
Please can you leave the info of your lnvestment advsor here? I’m in dire need for one.
