    The term “Finfluencer” refers to a person who by virtue of their popular or cultural status has an outsize impact on investor decisions through social media influence. According to Sue Guan of Santa Clara University, a variety of finfluencers exist in today’s markets, ranging from simple celebrities that draw people's attention like Kim Kardashian to corporate personalities like Elon Musk or Ryan Cohen to ordinary investors who develop followings on UA-cam, TikTok, and other social media platforms. In today's video we examine how the advice of well-known personal finance influencers like Dave Ramsey and Robert Kiyosaki compares to the advice of academics.

      Hello Mr. Patrick Boyle, great video, a little complicated to follow with all the different terms and criteria. I like this part where you say that interest % should be your problem, ua-cam.com/users/clipUgkxDilcJOR8i45u7Ae3ccyts0VN-jPvkgVD and would like to use it for a future educational clip.

      Patrick, thank you for this video. I've made a vast fortune in investments, but also as a founder. I never understood financial advisor books, and I am glad that I am not alone in that. I spoke recently with my wife about such books, who became interested in trading recently. I admitted that I tried to read a few but did not reach the second page.
      I do not want to mock advisor books since most seem odd, but ... the level of incompetence, poor advice, and stupid phrases such as "buy low, sell high", gave me headaches. It reminds me of Ali Wong's sketch in which she makes fun of women in their mid-30s who all of a sudden read life-advice books and who listen to esoteric podcasts as if they are tried to "turn the shit around", as she calls it. I would be not surprised if men in particular prefer such financial advisor books at a certain age, as a form of general life advice, after being unhappy with their own life and being jealous of other life stories -- without causing any change in their life.

      @@kushroo ​ This is not financial advice, but a well quoted rule of thumb is 50/30/20. 50% of your income goes on needs (housing, food, minimum for transport for work e.g just fuel or a train ticket, not financing a $60k car), 30% goes on wants - your fun money, eating out, going places, having a nice car etc. 20% goes on savings, either your emergency fund or retirement.
      If you don't have an emergency fund that's where all of the 20% goes until you do (and some/all of your fun money depending on who you ask - some people say not having an emergency fund counts as an emergency) - your emergency fund should be able to cover at LEAST 6 months of your "needs" category but ideally 12. After you've hit that, start maxing out any subsidised retirement accounts, and once they're maxed out any left over goes in high yield savings not to be touched till retirement.

    Other than housing I don’t carry any debt. I use credit cards for the points. But I pay the balances weekly. Though this wasn’t always the case. About twenty years ago I had horrendous credit card debt. Then one day I got really angry with myself. I thought why am I still making payments on things I no longer own? My plan was to pay off the smallest balance cards with the smallest minimum payment first to free up cash flow. Once paid off that free cash flow went towards the next one and it snowballed from there. I also locked down my discretionary spending. For a couple of years I didn’t go to the movies or eat out. I shopped at thrift stores, which I still do. In general it completely changed my thinking on buying things. Socks, underwear, and shoes I buy new. Nearly everything I buy at a thrift store.

      Paying out the smallest loan doesn't increase cash flow generated from savings that appeared by not having to pay that loan, it's mental accounting. Sure, once you paid out a smaller loan you have a smaller total minimum monthly obligatory payment body, but you never planned on paying the minimum amount anyway if your goal is to pay out the total debt as soon as possible. And if that's your goal, the fastest way to reach it is to pay out the highest interest loan first.

I didn’t sit down and run the numbers to see which card made sense to tackle first. Going with the lowest hanging fruit made sense at the time.

    26:10 I get Patrick's point here and he is, of course, right that prioritizing the debt with the highest interest rate is mathematically the best solution. With that said, I think for many people with various sizes of debts, it may make a lot of sense to follow Dave Ramsey's advice of paying off the smallest debt or the one that "bothers you the most" to maintain motivation. That's nonsense advice if you're looking a balance sheet and framing this is terms of your comfort in retirement age. However, it makes sense if you're coming to terms with the hard reality of a lot of bad financial decisions but you're determined to turn things around. We all need a "win" at times, especially when facing something on the scale of years. It's like weight loss: sure there's a better diet and exercise plan out there you could be doing, but you go with a plan that works for you. Don't give up.

      Perhaps ironically, I think the economists are the ones failing to do full risk accounting in that case. They’re forgetting to account for the risk, and associated cost, of failing to stick to the plan and keeping (or even growing) the debt. That risk could have been reduced by paying a bit more upfront to ‘buy’ motivation. People with good motivation should be less willing to pay that cost as the failure risk is low, so they should stick to paying debt by interest rate. People with weaker discipline should pay a bit more upfront to reduce the risk of failure by doing the debt snowball.

      Yeah, Dave Ramsey's approach is, for most people, psychologically realistic. Given that even mathematicians usually can't make financial decisions based on calculations, this makes a load of sense. Dave Ramsey's approach is also better at downside protection than what economists apparently advise. What do I care about whether I become a millionaire. I care that I don't end up with unmanageable debt, even if disaster strikes. It is way more important for people to avoid financial disaster, than it is to optimize returns. We can't control whether we're run over by a car tomorrow. We can (to an extent) control how badly off we'll be if that happens.

      I personally would pay off ones with the greater monthly obligations (which I can afford to pay off early) to free up cashflow, which may not be the highest interest rates but perhaps a shorter payment schedule. Though I imagine that requires a bit more savvy and financial judgement that some may lack, hence "keep it simple, find what works and stick with it" seems to be the rule of thumb.

    Dave Ramsey if I'm not mistaken acknowledges that the snowball method is mathematically not the best way to pay off debt. But his point is the snowball method pays homage to nearly unbreakable human psychology. And it will work if implemented. The key to paying down debt is paying down debt and not theorizing about how to play down debt

Often people are getting multiple phone calls a week, with threats of repossession, ruined credit scores, threats to go after family for money etc. You will find people with debt often don't answer the phone if it is an unknown number, this is because debt collectors ring and start shouting at them, making them feel awful.

    They were truly positive in my financial journey when I was young, by avoiding an expensive new car when I was just out of college and able to pay down my college debt immediately. I had enough saved for a down payment on a house by the time I was 25 years old, and that small house snowballed into a bigger home, which then did it again.

Taylor Swift suffers the same kind of problems as other highly loved and very wealthy stars - like Lady Gaga and Brittany Spears - in that they are surrounded by people who seem to and insist that they are acting in the best interests of the stars when in fact they are trying to figure out the optimal time where the stars stop producing quality songs/intellectual property and the stars can now only collect the "residuals" on their catalog of music.

    To be fair for the debt snowball idea, the idea is probably more to reduce the number of debts you need to worry about as quickly as possible, thereby simplifying your accounting and making it easier to prioritize future payments. Yes, for a professional finance person, the most sensible route is to pay off the most expensive debts before anything else as that reduces the overall cost, but for a casual, middle class person who's working another job outside of managing their finances and doesn't want to devote more than an hour or two to checking their spreadsheets every week, being able to knock a few of their debts down to zero as fast as possible could have some real appeal.

      You don't need to be a professional finance person to have basic financial literacy of: higher rate debt = bad.

      Also: consolidation loans are a thing. If you have too many varied debts to keep track of, most banks/credit unions offer loans to pay off all of them in favor of a single generally lower rate one.

      That's not my point!
      The main goal in reducing your total debt is not to ad more by fees etc. This danger is greater by smaller debts, you forget to pay than by by an annuity loan for which a fixed sum is withdrawn from your account every period.
      My argument is that the interest/fee payments several smaller debts can accumulate to a considerable large amount of money, which are not reducing the debt itself. Getting rid of such small and short-terms debts is not a bad idea. how you do it is up to you. If you are able to achieve it by consolidating several loans, go for it.
      If the option of consolidations (Christian Rother Rothschild Loan, look it up!) isn't available a wise way forward would be something some like this:
      - Make an inventory of all your debts, income, expenditures and savings.
      - Are rent/ mortgage utilities, insurance are covered?
      - Are there any bills to be paid urgently (overdue what ever)?
      - Are you using your overdraft? If yes try to reduce, as much as possible.
      - Check your expenditure what items can be reduced or cut entirely for their are obsolete (Old subscriptions, cell phone contract, with better rates. etc.
      - Pay off the debts you can get rid fast, and without extra fees.
      - Use part of the saved money to build several emergency budgets (which will reduce the dependency on overdraft)
      - The rest of saved money should be allocated to paying off mid- and long-term debts faster.
      As long as long-term debts are covered by an annuity it's fine. Your main concern should be "consumer credits" for goods like furniture, "consumer electronics", cars, cell phones. Get rid of those first, beside overdraft.
      Simple example:
      Mortgage
      500,000
      5 % effectiv. interest. rate annually
      Annuity: ~ 4,000 p.m.
      Take care you cover the 4,000 p. m. there is no need to increase the rate, if there are other debts to be pay. If enough free cash is available do it. But take care of the items with a higher deprecation first.

    The traditional asset allocation model for individuals assumes that the stockmarket is expensive to transact (both commissions and tax effects) and this is simply not correct for retired investors with their savings in tax free super managed through a managed account that can sell small parcels of each security, as exists in Australia. Actuaries have an appalling record of advising insurance companies on risk management via asset allocation. Since volatility (ie the odd market decline) works against the retired investor who is regularly drawing down on investments, and favours the younger accumulator, the trick for retirees is to prioritise equities, but have another pool that can be drawn on if markets have declined. Generally bear markets only take a couple of years to reach bottom. And despite academics (and professionals) arguing that market tops and bottoms are not predictable, the reality is these periods of greatest market risk, typically periods of rising rates like now, are pretty identifiable. So sitting through bear markets with higher cash weightings, is a profitable strategy, if you stay the course and recognise the lows, but of course takes nerve if markets continue to overshoot to the upside (like now). Paid professionals can't normally do that because of what Keynes identified as the institutional imperative - its safer to be wrong with everyone else, than being wrong by sticking your neck out.

    You pointed out 2 of the things I do not understand about Dave Ramsey's methods, paying off the lowest balance first and having a large pool of savings while you are paying huge interest rates. I have never in my life had 3 months of expenses just sitting in a savings account and suspect this would be a huge temptation to someone with spending issues. Have minimal savings until you are out of high-interest debt, put that money towards the highest interest balance, and have a plan as to how to acquire emergency money in the unlikely event it is desperately needed.
    Dave does good but he is remedial finance and I would still be poor if I followed his advice. Instead I borrowed heavily during the once-in-a-lifetime 2009 real estate crash and invested in rental property. If people are mindlessly panic-selling it is a very good time to be cautiously buying.

    The largest return on investment comes from saving 25-50% of your income when young. (E.g. finance an economy car new, under warranty, at $300/mo.) Share a two bd apt and solit the rent or rent a room in a house, caps basic expenses around $1,000/mo then plan on another $1,000-1,500/mo for insurance, gas, food, entertainment.
    Expense $24-$30k per year. Now earn 48-60k plus, which is not too hard these days. Max out your 22.5k/yr 401k contribution. Then max out a Roth IRA 6.5k. Maximize tax rebates. Save a little cash including most of your tax returns. Maybe take a vacation with it if you met your goals.
    You then have the most amount of money invested as humanly possible at your age. And you give it the longest possible time to grow before retirement. Therefore your investment portfolio will be the largest possible with the least contribution.

    Seems to me, if I may summarize, is that the main difference between academia and popular financial advise is that acidemia assumes the rational self interested person, whilst the personal finance gurus know that humans often do not do things in the technical way but are complicated emotional beings as well as possesing the ability to reason. As Aristotle points out, all humans have the nature of rationality, but most give in to their passions.
    Though I will note that the advise to save more during peak earing years seems odd, as the younger years allow one to benefit the most from the effects of compound interest. An extra 10-20 years of compounding does amazing things. Obviously it is good to save more when you have more, but I would want to emphasize saving when young due to the exponential effect that it has one one's future.
    Some of the reasons behind things like longer horizons having stocks is more of a case of what theories one works towards, rather than a serious difference in working methods.
    I think a large reason dividends are preferred by many, is that they will continue to provide cash even during downturns, without one having to reduce a portfolio by selling low. Since dividends rarely loose nominal value, especially those chosen in dividend ETFs, this means that there is always some cash gained to be reinvested while the market is low. Furthermore, it allows one to get cash needed for purchases during a down market without selling low and reducing the nest egg.

    Also, you do make a good influencer, but attract a different profile of people who consume your videos! I like complicated and more correct ideas, and trying to understand why something would be the case. I think as far as things like the 'when to refinance' question, it is difficult to optimize something which is unknowable precisely, and I think that's why a rough rule of thumb is good. I think most people would intuitively not want to refinance if they were planning to move in a year for instance. However, perhaps as a thinker myself, and knowing my tendency to do so, I am possibly giving the general person too much credit. Thank you for your awesome content!

    Ramsay is right there Getting rid of the smaller debts makes more sense, in people's day to day life.
    The reasons for that approach are not mathematical but applicability in average people's life.
    Many small debts are more difficult to handle then few larger loans. You have to keep track of everything, be careful not to miss a deadline etc.. So reducing the number of loans credits etc. makes sense. Esp, when considered that the risk of extra fees for late payment etc. is reduced.

Then I lost my job in a severe industry downturn in a town centered on that industry, so I moved back to my hometown. Having very little cash on hand made things pretty dire and all my progress was lost as I relied on debt to get back on my feet.

I cant even really think of an EMERGENCY I would have that would cost less than that. My personal re-interpretation of his thing is 2months expenses+2k starter emergency fund, then 1 year fully-funded for step 3.
      My version is also more applicable to me because I only have like 2 none-housing debts, so there isnt much of a snowball to be working through and I don't feel particularly set back by taking a few months before getting into repayment at full intensity.
