Similar to your pineapple pizza rule, when i spend money i like to think of it as hours worked. Say im paid $20 an hour and a candle stick is $60, would i go to work for 3 hours for that candle stick? Its a great tool
Vincent thank you, I have been watching your content extensively for close to a year now. I'm 18 and now officially have a little over 10k between my savings and investing account, despite only working part-time not making much, and being a full-time college student, you have helped me set myself up for the future and even buy myself a car outright. I even made my own spreadsheet to track my money with heavy inspiration from yours. Keep up the Good work!
I save 36-42% ($1,200-$1,400) & $2,500 twice per year (or 74%) of my biweekly pay by keeping a zero-based budget. I maxed out my retirement contributions 9 years ago.
I think investors should always put their cash to work, especially In 2024, we'll start to see more market diversification. I'm hoping to invest about $350k of my savings in stocks against next year. Hope to make millions in 2024
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.

I really like the emergency fund concept. No one is ever clear where one should fall on the 3-6 months or 3-12 months people say sometimes. I know it’s personal but it is good to have a defined breakdown to psychologically switch to investing instead of saving.
I'm starting with 3 month/person + 1month/pet. so for me it's 7 months. But I dont go off expenses I go off my total income. Gives me more peace of mind.
True but in that case he would need to look up the average lifespan of a coffee machine. It is not fair to say the machine costs 68 cents per use, if you are going to use it for 5+ years.
@@pinkmuffin9842 right, calculation should be recalculated-) BTW, I am personally use V60 and believe that this is better then any coffee machine ever
@@IzzyOnTheMovefor decent coffee you don’t need any coffee machine. V60 is perfectly fine. so, one time purchase cost is 50€. still, decent beans cost a lot if you drink good coffee not illy of similar sh*t :)
Vincent, please do an updated strategy for car buying. Used car prices have gone out of control. You also have to add in the life of a 10-year-old car that is only, maybe, three or four thousand less than a new car. I think the wisdom about used cars being a better deal has really, really changed since the pandemic.
I was at a coffee shop today and realized something. For years (more decades really) I never had a problem paying anywhere from $7 to $10 (cuz Canada, + tax + tip etc) for the "fancier" drinks like a matcha latte, London Fog, cappuccino etc. but I would find it ridiculous to pa $2.50 to $3 for a regular or herbal tea, my reasoning being, if I bought a box of these and made it at home, it would be 50 cents or less a bag. But i realised more than the drink it's the action of going to the coffee shop, seeing people, being in the city, writing my diary etc that I love. If i get just a regular tea for $3 (and you can ask for a hot water refill to make it last longer) instead of a soup + sandwich + pastry + latte for $20+. Now I can go a lot more often, to many various coffee shops. I got a frother and i can make the fancy drinks at home for 50 cents each now 👍
I work for university of California Davis and when I contribute 7% of income to my 401k, the university contributes 8%. Fantastic place to work for many reasons!
A lot of times these kinds of videos leave out information that would be crucial to save money for those who are living on a tight budget I’m not denying that he has some good advice in the video, because he does, but he’s not speaking from the perspective I’m looking for. I’m more so in a position where if I try to save $500 for a coffee machine I’ll end up having to spend it on something more important like another repair for my car
I will still going to get the $1.25 jeans at Dollar Tree, if it fall apart I still able to get 48 more jeans from Dollar Tree with that $60. I am cheap and I start to like myself lately seeing my saving grow. From a guy used to living paycheck to paycheck.
pets count as dependents hence vet emergency fund. DONT get pet insurance. Save that money instead, or get a credit card with 5k-10k credit but don't use that credit unless there's a vet emergency and you can't pay it outright. Pet insurance companies always find a way to say stuff isn't covered, and most pets will not have more than 10k vet= bills over their lifetime.
Costco sales, clearances at TJMAXX are good places. There are great food items at the TJMAXX stores. I love all their seasonings. They are basically William and Sonoma for a tenth of the price.
0:41 : Interesting..🤔 Substitute the amount to equal the value of food or small items. If I substitute the price of cold brew, which I make my own instead of buying in the store or Starbucks, then I can use this method of figure it out want is worth or not. Thank you! Edit: At 2:52, I have that book, and I will look into it this next week.
For me it's gallons of gas. O that 15 dollar McDonald's is 5 gallons of gas. Transportation is the most important thing even over owning a house for me
My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. Thanks to larysa Caba, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
I feel one Of the greatest challenges that we first timers face in the ma rket is that we end up losing all we have,making it difficult to find ourselves back to our feet. My biggest advice is to always seek the services of a professional just like I did when I ventured into it for the first time. Big thanks to Larysa Caba. I now make huge profits by weekly through her services while still learning to stand on my own.
I think she trades for everyone I meet. I met her twice at a meeting in Germany and after her lectures from Ella I had to personally ask her to be my financial advisor. she is definitely good.
I'm new to this and have heard that now is an excellent time to buy. However, I currently have cash sitting in my bank account that I would really like to put to good use because inflation is at an all-time high. Who is this coach that you mention, and do you mind if I look them up?
I feel this is quite an easy one. You already have her name which makes it easy for you. Just look up her name online. I’m sure you will come across her. That’s how I found her too.
@@VincentChan Stepping back before I press the purchase button gives me perspective. I get time to ask: Do I really need this? Is it going to enhance my life? Will I be better because of it? After a week, you'll know.
@@VincentChan hello! I watched a lot of your videos and I love how you make the topics so interesting and not boring, esp for someone with a short attention span like me 😎😂 Thanks for motivating a broke gen z like me to finally start saving, and I’m doing it with baby steps 🥹❤️ more power to your channel, Vincent! ✨
I use hours of my life. I convert the dollar value to the numbers of hours I would have to work to pay for it. Is there something else I would rather do with that much of my life?
This whole video can be boiled down to two words: "Opportunity Cost", which is probably the first thing you learn in any econ class, even before supply and demand.
@@VincentChan the pizza rule, making coffee at home, when buying clothes it’s quality or quantity but only buy if you absolutely need it and if it will last long, no fast fashion or luxury brands
I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 85K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice?
I do not disagree, there are strategies that could be put in place for solid gains regardless of economy or market condition, but such execution are usually carried out by investment experts with experience since the 08' crash.
The issue is people have the "I want to do it myself mentality" but not equipped enough for a crash, hence get burnt. Ideally, advisors are reps for investing jobs, and at first-hand encounter, my portfolio has yielded over 300% since 2020 just after the pandemic to date.
