    I am 67 yrs. Start a retirement plan and save as much $ as possible starting when you're young. Be frugal. Shop at thrift stores. Don't pay for cable. Only buy what you need. Cook, eating out cost too much. Keep a monthly budget.

      In Australia Super annunciation (our equivalent of 401k) gets taxed to oblivion (over 40%) if you retire before 55-60 (depends when you were born and it is going to get higher). Planning other investments here is so important.

One addition to give here wld be below the balance like I put my assets which I cannot put in income to know my total net worth. Like mutual funds I don’t keep in income area as I won’t be cashing in anytime soon.. so it goes below balance and then there’s total balance

    Hi ! Good video as usual. Different subject but could you do a quick video to show your set up ( cameras, lights, microphone ) because I’ve got a project for UA-cam and I need to film myself sitting at a desk (just like you)

    I’ve always had a knack for creating a budget and living by it unless my income changed. That’s the hardest part, though, making enough income to matter.

    Mint is a great app for budgeting. Makes it super easy.
