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?
Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.
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.
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE 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..
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
Yeah, that hit home for me lol. I dropped out of engineering in college, so I missed the boat on that kind of income and getting into the housing market early in life. Fortunately I figured out the saving and investing as I was getting into my 30s and have always avoided debt.
Loved every second of my watch to the very end. You are a great teacher. I’m 46 and own a small business with $380K in savings. But I'd still love to grow my investments ahead of retirement. Do you mentor others? Really need some guidance to financial freedom.
Just buy BITCOIN and hold. Or gold, or find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. But advisably, just seek counsel from a market strategist.

She's known as a 'Michele Katherine Singh'. One of the finest portfolio managers in the field also widely recognized. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.
Transfer of wealth usually occur during market crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a proft of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.
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.

I began working at 18, strived and grew my portfolio to 600k by 27. Recently, lost over 30% and want to mitigate risks. Also, planning to buy a home soon and want my portfolio to grow to a 7-figure ball park so i can retire in 15 years. What should i do for steady cashflow?
You're right, I and a few Neighbors in Bel Air Area work with an advisor who prefers we DCA across other prospective sectors. Instead of a lump sum purchase, Following this, my portfolio grew 30% in the last quarter.
@greekbarrios I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
Thank you for sharing, I must say, Kristin appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.
Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with? I've wanted to make this switch for a very long time now, but I've been very hesitant about. I'll appreciate any recommendation.

I’m sorry but this is very poor advice. If we all knew “good” companies then we’d all be well off. Financial advisors, especially early on in your wealth building journey, is also not appropriate. They’re costly and can stunt your financial growth. Investing in index funds or target retirement funds is an easy way of having a low-cost, diversified portfolio. Index investing beats managed accounts 9.5/10 times. Do yourself a favor and keep investing simple. You’re right about time though. The longer you keep the money invested in index funds the more time you give it to grow. Compound interest is real.
I just turned 41 and awfully late to investing with barely any portfolio except my 401k, I have a decent amount of cash saved up and with inflation currently soaring AGAIN, I’m getting worried about retirement, my intention is to retire at 65 atleast, so how best do I maximize my savings of over $500k
Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals. Maybe consider speaking to an advisor to help in diversifying your portfolio to spread out the risk.
Generally speaking, a good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisor in planning for retirement, For over the past 10years, I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $3m in gains… might not be a lot but retirement doesn’t seem so farfetched anymore.
Melissa Elise Robinson"" has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
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.
@Ingridlourd02 However, if you do not have access to a professional like Clementina Abate Russo, 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.
This is an awesome idea Hump! Not many, if any, would take the time to do this. Great to see real life situations. I believe you are going to help many people with these type of videos.
This is a great format. It certainly gave me an idea to reorganize my stuff. And yes please do more of these. Sprinkle it here and there in between the other things you typically do. As always, I appreciate your tips! Where were you in my 20's?!
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
I'm loving this type of videos Humphrey. I put in 30k into various assets late last year and flipped into six figures within a few months and still going. I’ve always been an advocate of investing because it has been rather rewarding. I hope to attain financial freedom soon. One more thing, keep the videos coming brother.
It’s not rocket science. As I said previously, I got into stocks, index funds, and REITs, myself but wasn't getting the results I wanted the first couple of months. Got tired of losing and decided to seek mentorship from Jonas Herman, a certified fiduciary who helps oversee my investments.
@@Willycheng590 While it may sound enticing, it is important to understand that stocks, like a fine wine or a Monet, has no standardized value. You look all good on the outside, while you wait till almost death to enjoy your wealth which presents an enormous economic(uncertainty) risk.
Hats off to the 19yo - no debt or school loans, good living situation and plan for home ownership, soon to be engineering degree, and incredible saving and investment habits already. Dudes gonna be a millionaire by 30 for sure.
Phenomenal video. having practical examples to look at and look at how you would approach these situations is inspiring! Gives us good feedback as to how to apply to our own finances.
At 56 I already own shares of PALANTIR, TSLA, NVDA and APPL as well. Sure, I don't mind having these equities sit around for a while, but I'd also like to appreciate short-term opportunities that could fetch $200,000 or less..
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 Q3 2024.
Humphrey, thanks for the video! Great opportunity to take a look from a side on other smart guys portfolios! Your comments are highly valuable as usual 😊
My own circumstances were different from the 19yo in this video but similarly I had very little debt and was essentially starting from scratch. The big difference is social media was in its infancy at the time so financial information was gatekept and not at all accessible unless you understood the lingo. I wish I had been thinking like this 19yo and get a head start in life. So much of investing is simply time and I wasted my 20s by not taking advantage of my debt free situation. Now in my 30s I'm trying to play catch up. I'm doing okay for my age but I know I would be more financially set if I had taken advantage of my debt free 20s. My 30s has been incredibly rocky. I lost 3 jobs in succession. I haven't really been able to save much in recent years. I only have what I have because I was at least smart enough to save in my 20s but I wish I had known more about investing. That's the time to learn and take risks and figure it all out. Kudos to any young people out there getting a head start!!!!
I lived at home and went to CWU in Ellensburg, WA just like the first person. Saved so much money that gave me the freedom to explore options after graduating without being forced to immediately start paying off debt
The college student was basically me when I first started investing. I lived as cheaply as possible, so I could save all my scholarship money (didn't have loans, cause my family was so poor, I qualified for all the financial aid in my state). Because of that I actually graduated college without debt, and net worth positive, which really helped when I couldn't find a full time job for the first 2 years after graduation. And come today 12 years later, I've kept that same "live way below your means" spending and investment habits, and pretty much hit my Coast FIRE amount already... 20 years earlier than expected. If my current job and work environment wasn't so good, I probably would have retired already.
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
Note about PayPal credit: Often times the way their 0% interest promotion works for PayPal credit is it’s building up in the background and will hit you like a freight train, If you wait for the promotional period to end, if it’s paid off before the six months or whatever you will owe no interest, but otherwise you owe all the interest backdated to day one.
Nice analysis. Would suggest taking into account all three were younger, and from what it sounded like, had not started a family of their own yet. Advice and outlook changes drastically when incorporating a family into financial futures.
Being able to stay home is clutch. I have a fried. Who got a master in education and left college with no debt, and he lived with his parents ts for 15 years after college and worked as substitute teacher. He bought his house in cash.
Im still only on the first guy, and something that never gets mentioned in these is a 5% down conventional or FHA loan. I know everyone wants the 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance, but sometimes it's still a good idea. I've been fortunate as a military member and was able to use a 0% VA loan. But I also used a conventional loan with 5% down because there weren't rentals i wanted to live in near my new station and have made 80% of my net worth from those two properties that I originally had almost no equity in. I know it's a risk, but in my mind, it's a worthwhile one.
Came to America with 2 bags and a dream 30 years later exceed 7 figures Worked as a mid level employee never any equity or grants Mostly saved via 401k max and stock market Paid myself first Lived a good life Worked hard Saved hard Lived a life based on honesty grounded in compassionate conservatism
Love this format. Keep it up! I relate to #3. I have about 27 individual stocks I bought years ago. Many are doing VERY well and others not so much. But as of about 2 years ago I stopped buying individual stocks and now only buy 4 index funds. Now it’s just a timing factor of how to exit the underperforming stocks. Have been tax loss harvesting.
I hope Humphrey keeps this up for a few years. Right now my wife and i have about 80% of our portfolio in cash/20% s&p index because we're saving for a house
From what I see, the third portfolio’s individual stocks are mainly dividend kings/aristocrats. Seems they are going for living off dividends, but still that is a ton of holdings lol
Out of these 3, I relate to the 3rd guy the most. Except I have to halve all the numbers. I make half as much as him and my FIRE goal is $1m rather than $2m.
Ugh I hate the comparisons to Caleb. That guy is click bait trash who roasts people who don’t know any better. I unfollowed and am happier for it. THIS is actually way more useful and I’m glad you’re doing portfolio analysis!! Most of the internet goons are not qualified to discuss these topics.

$2M should provide $70k/year, adjusted each year for inflation, likely forever (Bill Bengan says 3.5% SWR likely to last for infinite retirement. ) Pretty closs to his current spend, and doesn't even account for any Social Security
@@arh1234I have $3M plus a $750k paid for house (and no other debt). I wouldn’t even think of retiring for at least another 10-15 years. I will also get a pension and SS, but those are not enough.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Everyone’s situation is different,but you may consider retiring. I’m curious as to how old you are, what your annual expenses are and what your pension/SS would be. I also have a pension and bridge SS as I’m a government retiree. My portfolio has been 100% S&P500 for 34 years. I retired at 55 with $1.2 million nine years ago. I figured my pension/SS and about a $100K in emergency cash would keep me afloat during any major market drop. Because of this, I stayed 100% S&P 500 and it has grown to $3.3 million even after taking $52K a year for the past four years. IMHO, unless you have huge annual expenses, your portfolio/pension is so large that it could withstand a major market downturn.
The outrageously high debt of the #2 guy would drive me bonkers, especially if I didn’t have an income. Coming out of college with close to, or more than 6 figures in debt is no way to start your life.
Currently, at 34k USD net worth at age 20, I am projected to be at 58.5k USD by the end of summer 2025 as I will be working the first 8 months of the year and investing most of it. Then, I will be returning back to school. Fortunately, I have a resp, which here in Canada is an educational tax-free account, so I got tuition covered. On pace for well over 85k USD or 100k cad by graduation!
I don't think 20% is so much of a "lazy" assumption but rather a responsible target. Even if someone were to qualify for an FHA loan, having the discipline to wait until you can save 20% of a down payment is so much more valuable.
I put 5% down on a conventional in 2013 with a rate of 3.5%. Wasn't sure how much I needed for improvements/repairs. Made a bunch of extra payments to get rid of PMI years ago and it has worked out well. House more than doubled in value since so it was a good move for me. Obviously what we've seen in the last 4 years in the housing market is insanity, if I were to buy today I'd probably look to put more down

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.
Glad to have stumbled on this comment, Please who is the consultant that assist you and if you don't mind, how do I get in touch with them?
My CFA NICOLE ANASTASIA PLUMLEE 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..
I just googled her and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a caII.
first one is what I should have been.
second one is what I should not become.
third is what I wanna become.
Yeah, that hit home for me lol. I dropped out of engineering in college, so I missed the boat on that kind of income and getting into the housing market early in life. Fortunately I figured out the saving and investing as I was getting into my 30s and have always avoided debt.
Facts😂
Loved every second of my watch to the very end. You are a great teacher. I’m 46 and own a small business with $380K in savings. But I'd still love to grow my investments ahead of retirement. Do you mentor others? Really need some guidance to financial freedom.
Just buy BITCOIN and hold. Or gold, or find quality stocks that have long term potential, and ride with those stocks. But advisably, just seek counsel from a market strategist.
...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. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $650k.
Smart, If i wanted to do the same with my retirement funds too, how do i get started trading?
She's known as a 'Michele Katherine Singh'. One of the finest portfolio managers in the field also widely recognized. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with and set up an appointment.
Thank you for sharing. I just scheduled a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
Transfer of wealth usually occur during market crash, so the more stocks drop, the more I buy, in the meanwhile I'm just focused on making better investments and earning more as recession fear increases, apparently there are strategies to 3x gains in this present market cos I read of someone that pulled a proft of $350k within 6months, and it would really help if you could make a video covering these strategies.
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.

agreed!
Jesus, ~240k a year in his early 30s as a single earner is insane. Dude is doing absolutely amazing financially
Not good at picking funds/ stocks though.

240k a year in NYC is still a lot, but not that impressive.
@@Luci-pz8xx true, didnt realize it was NYC. Cost of living in Manhattan earning 240k is almost the equivalent of 100k anywhere else
$240k in NYC is still great tbh
19 year old has a bright future if he continues to work hard and stays consistent
I began working at 18, strived and grew my portfolio to 600k by 27. Recently, lost over 30% and want to mitigate risks. Also, planning to buy a home soon and want my portfolio to grow to a 7-figure ball park so i can retire in 15 years. What should i do for steady cashflow?
Everyone needs a Margin of Safety in their portfolios and just remember, It's time in the market versus timing the market
You're right, I and a few Neighbors in Bel Air Area work with an advisor who prefers we DCA across other prospective sectors. Instead of a lump sum purchase, Following this, my portfolio grew 30% in the last quarter.
@greekbarrios I'm intrigued by this. I've searched for financial advisors online but it's kind of hard to get in touch with one. Okay if I ask you for a recommendation?
Thank you for sharing, I must say, Kristin appears to be quite knowledgeable. After coming across her web page, I went through her resume and it was quite impressive. I reached out and scheduled

Great video, Humphrey. Looking at real life situations gives makes it really relatable. Thank you😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless.
I totally agree; I am 66 years old, recently retired, with approximately $1.2 million in external retirement funds. I am debt free and have very little money in retirement funds compared to the total value of my portfolio over the past three years. To be honest, I didn't do all this alone, but with the help of a financial advisor. Having one is currently the best way to trade in the stock market, especially for people nearing retirement.
Is there any chance you could recommend who you work with? I've wanted to make this switch for a very long time now, but I've been very hesitant about. I'll appreciate any recommendation.
Finding financial advisors like Melissa Terri Swayne 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.
Thanks a lot for this recommendation. I just looked her up, and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
I’m sorry but this is very poor advice. If we all knew “good” companies then we’d all be well off. Financial advisors, especially early on in your wealth building journey, is also not appropriate. They’re costly and can stunt your financial growth. Investing in index funds or target retirement funds is an easy way of having a low-cost, diversified portfolio. Index investing beats managed accounts 9.5/10 times. Do yourself a favor and keep investing simple. You’re right about time though. The longer you keep the money invested in index funds the more time you give it to grow. Compound interest is real.
I just turned 41 and awfully late to investing with barely any portfolio except my 401k, I have a decent amount of cash saved up and with inflation currently soaring AGAIN, I’m getting worried about retirement, my intention is to retire at 65 atleast, so how best do I maximize my savings of over $500k
Retirement is now more difficult than it was in the past. it's all about balancing your risk tolerance with your long-term goals. Maybe consider speaking to an advisor to help in diversifying your portfolio to spread out the risk.
Generally speaking, a good number of people discredit the effectiveness of financial advisor in planning for retirement, For over the past 10years, I’ve had a financial advisor consistently restructure and diversify my portfolio/expenses and I’ve made over $3m in gains… might not be a lot but retirement doesn’t seem so farfetched anymore.
Your advisor must be really good. How I can get in touch? My retirement portfolio's decline is a concern, and I could use some guidance.
Melissa Elise Robinson"" has always been on the top of my list..She is regarded as a genius in her area and well knowledgeable about financial markets. I highly recommend you look her up if you want excellent collaboration.
'Melissa Elise Robinson' is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
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.
@Ingridlourd02 However, if you do not have access to a professional like Clementina Abate Russo, 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.

This is an awesome idea Hump! Not many, if any, would take the time to do this. Great to see real life situations. I believe you are going to help many people with these type of videos.
This is a great format. It certainly gave me an idea to reorganize my stuff. And yes please do more of these. Sprinkle it here and there in between the other things you typically do. As always, I appreciate your tips! Where were you in my 20's?!
Thanks for the video. Its nice to see an actual practical example!
Glad it was helpful!
I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.
She is my family's personal broker and also a personal broker in many families I'm United States, she's a licensed broker and a FINRA AGENT in United states
The very first time we tried, we invested $1000 and after a week, we received $5500. That really helped us a lot to pay up our bills.
I'm surprised that you just mentioned and recommended Charlotte Miller, I met her at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.
I'm new at this, please how can I reach her?
I just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Roasting someone. That's what Caleb loves to do.
This was definitely great to see! Well diverse financially speaking, it shows different perspectives! Make it a series!
That's the plan!
Thank you Humphrey for bringing real life examples from real people
I think we are doing better than most you around these types of conversations
I'm loving this type of videos Humphrey. I put in 30k into various assets late last year and flipped into six figures within a few months and still going. I’ve always been an advocate of investing because it has been rather rewarding. I hope to attain financial freedom soon. One more thing, keep the videos coming brother.
You can’t overlook the fact that it’s paramount not to get greedy but to remain invested through careful study, if not you can lose it all.
Wanting to get into the market myself but I have no knowledge of it and how is it that you’re earning?
It’s not rocket science. As I said previously, I got into stocks, index funds, and REITs, myself but wasn't getting the results I wanted the first couple of months. Got tired of losing and decided to seek mentorship from Jonas Herman, a certified fiduciary who helps oversee my investments.

While it may sound enticing, it is important to understand that stocks, like a fine wine or a Monet, has no standardized value. You look all good on the outside, while you wait till almost death to enjoy your wealth which presents an enormous economic(uncertainty) risk.
This is a bot comment just so everyone looking here knows
Hats off to the 19yo - no debt or school loans, good living situation and plan for home ownership, soon to be engineering degree, and incredible saving and investment habits already. Dudes gonna be a millionaire by 30 for sure.
Enjoyed this style of video. Please keep them coming!
More of this please! Also use examples from older people
yes!
Agree! We are in our 50s and planning to retire in next 1-2 years. Would love any tips or suggestions!
This is great! Love this video, first UA-camr I have seen do something like this. Very creative!
Glad you liked it!! more to come Sarah
Phenomenal video. having practical examples to look at and look at how you would approach these situations is inspiring! Gives us good feedback as to how to apply to our own finances.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love this format! this is different to other finance channels out there, so I reckon you should do more of this
Thanks! Will do!
It’s so helpful to see examples with actual numbers. I’m between scenario 2 and 3 - this helps alot ty!
This was a great video! Really enjoyed seeing what’s out there with others. Do more!!
This is my favorite video you've ever done. Great stuff
Wow that means a lot, thank you :)
16:01 I see NVDA in there. It just exploded, so he might have just gotten a jump start on his FIRE goal.
It appears evident, looking forward to another part of this and turning it into a series! Great video!
Love this format! Hope you make more videos like this!

Great format! Love seeing real examples

At 56 I already own shares of PALANTIR, TSLA, NVDA and APPL as well. Sure, I don't mind having these equities sit around for a while, but I'd also like to appreciate short-term opportunities that could fetch $200,000 or less..
If you need advice on short-term investments, consider speaking with a financial advisor. They have a lot more knowledge and expertise in this area.
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 Q3 2024.

The 19 year old really humbled me. I saw the second portfolio and felt better about my savings. Than i saw the third portfolio and felt behind again
I’m 74. I’d like for you to do a “Caleb Hammer” evaluation of my situation. Curious about what you think about my asset allocation.
Humphrey, thanks for the video! Great opportunity to take a look from a side on other smart guys portfolios! Your comments are highly valuable as usual 😊
Really enjoyed this content, please make another version of this!
This was pretty interesting. Thanks for putting this together and those who contributed

My own circumstances were different from the 19yo in this video but similarly I had very little debt and was essentially starting from scratch. The big difference is social media was in its infancy at the time so financial information was gatekept and not at all accessible unless you understood the lingo. I wish I had been thinking like this 19yo and get a head start in life. So much of investing is simply time and I wasted my 20s by not taking advantage of my debt free situation. Now in my 30s I'm trying to play catch up. I'm doing okay for my age but I know I would be more financially set if I had taken advantage of my debt free 20s. My 30s has been incredibly rocky. I lost 3 jobs in succession. I haven't really been able to save much in recent years. I only have what I have because I was at least smart enough to save in my 20s but I wish I had known more about investing. That's the time to learn and take risks and figure it all out. Kudos to any young people out there getting a head start!!!!
I lived at home and went to CWU in Ellensburg, WA just like the first person. Saved so much money that gave me the freedom to explore options after graduating without being forced to immediately start paying off debt
The college student was basically me when I first started investing. I lived as cheaply as possible, so I could save all my scholarship money (didn't have loans, cause my family was so poor, I qualified for all the financial aid in my state). Because of that I actually graduated college without debt, and net worth positive, which really helped when I couldn't find a full time job for the first 2 years after graduation.
And come today 12 years later, I've kept that same "live way below your means" spending and investment habits, and pretty much hit my Coast FIRE amount already... 20 years earlier than expected.
If my current job and work environment wasn't so good, I probably would have retired already.
I came across your channel through this video-case studies are incredibly valuable, and I'm eager to see more in the future! Building wealth involves establishing routines, like consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for smart investments.
People believe their currency has the worth it does because they have no other option. Even in a hyperinflationary environment, individuals must continue to use their hyperinflationary currency since they likely have minimal access to other currencies or gold/silver coins.
This aligns perfectly with my desire to organize my finances prior to retirement. Could you provide me with access to your advisor?
Note about PayPal credit: Often times the way their 0% interest promotion works for PayPal credit is it’s building up in the background and will hit you like a freight train, If you wait for the promotional period to end, if it’s paid off before the six months or whatever you will owe no interest, but otherwise you owe all the interest backdated to day one.
Luv the format of reviewing.💚💙
ok :) will do more
Best kind of video, you should continue to do these
#2 didn't get a good return on his education. Almost six figures in student loans and only earned 57k gross.
This was great - more of these videos please!
working on it
Nice analysis. Would suggest taking into account all three were younger, and from what it sounded like, had not started a family of their own yet. Advice and outlook changes drastically when incorporating a family into financial futures.
Being able to stay home is clutch. I have a fried. Who got a master in education and left college with no debt, and he lived with his parents ts for 15 years after college and worked as substitute teacher. He bought his house in cash.
Im still only on the first guy, and something that never gets mentioned in these is a 5% down conventional or FHA loan. I know everyone wants the 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance, but sometimes it's still a good idea. I've been fortunate as a military member and was able to use a 0% VA loan. But I also used a conventional loan with 5% down because there weren't rentals i wanted to live in near my new station and have made 80% of my net worth from those two properties that I originally had almost no equity in. I know it's a risk, but in my mind, it's a worthwhile one.
Came to America with 2 bags and a dream 30 years later exceed 7 figures
Worked as a mid level employee never any equity or grants
Mostly saved via 401k max and stock market
Paid myself first
Lived a good life
Worked hard
Saved hard
Lived a life based on honesty grounded in compassionate conservatism
Episode 2 of this is needed!
im on it!
Those are solid examples, I learned so much. Thanks!
Love this format. Keep it up! I relate to #3. I have about 27 individual stocks I bought years ago. Many are doing VERY well and others not so much. But as of about 2 years ago I stopped buying individual stocks and now only buy 4 index funds. Now it’s just a timing factor of how to exit the underperforming stocks. Have been tax loss harvesting.
yep exactly~!
This is great. More please!
More to come!
This type of video is great. Answers his questions helps as well!
More of these please!
Love this form of content. Kind of jealous you didn’t analyze mine but still quality info

I hope Humphrey keeps this up for a few years.
Right now my wife and i have about 80% of our portfolio in cash/20% s&p index because we're saving for a house
This is great! More of these type videos please.
From what I see, the third portfolio’s individual stocks are mainly dividend kings/aristocrats. Seems they are going for living off dividends, but still that is a ton of holdings lol
Out of these 3, I relate to the 3rd guy the most. Except I have to halve all the numbers. I make half as much as him and my FIRE goal is $1m rather than $2m.
Love these videos!
Ugh I hate the comparisons to Caleb. That guy is click bait trash who roasts people who don’t know any better. I unfollowed and am happier for it.
THIS is actually way more useful and I’m glad you’re doing portfolio analysis!! Most of the internet goons are not qualified to discuss these topics.

$2 million isn't much to retire early on... after a few decades of inflation he's going to wish he worked longer to build a bigger nest egg.
$2M should provide $70k/year, adjusted each year for inflation, likely forever (Bill Bengan says 3.5% SWR likely to last for infinite retirement. )
Pretty closs to his current spend, and doesn't even account for any Social Security
@@arh1234I have $3M plus a $750k paid for house (and no other debt). I wouldn’t even think of retiring for at least another 10-15 years. I will also get a pension and SS, but those are not enough.
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Everyone’s situation is different,but you may consider retiring. I’m curious as to how old you are, what your annual expenses are and what your pension/SS would be. I also have a pension and bridge SS as I’m a government retiree. My portfolio has been 100% S&P500 for 34 years. I retired at 55 with $1.2 million nine years ago. I figured my pension/SS and about a $100K in emergency cash would keep me afloat during any major market drop. Because of this, I stayed 100% S&P 500 and it has grown to $3.3 million even after taking $52K a year for the past four years. IMHO, unless you have huge annual expenses, your portfolio/pension is so large that it could withstand a major market downturn.
@@user-tb7rn1il3qhow old are you now?
Great Video. More of these please.
Love this format! 😊
I'm glad!
The outrageously high debt of the #2 guy would drive me bonkers, especially if I didn’t have an income. Coming out of college with close to, or more than 6 figures in debt is no way to start your life.
This is very insightful Humphrey. Thanks for sharing.
I liked the subscriber number 1& 3 . They have high savings rate which is good and no debt
40% blend 40% growth 20% value. When you retire do 40 blend 20 growth and 40 value

Love this video! Excellent tips
Glad it was helpful!
bro i clicked on this video looking for some fun and just 2 minutes into it, I am already jealous !
Seems like the 19yo is using the Paul Merriman portfolio, not sure if you're familiar with that
I would love it if you made this a weekly or biweekly episode series
Currently, at 34k USD net worth at age 20, I am projected to be at 58.5k USD by the end of summer 2025 as I will be working the first 8 months of the year and investing most of it. Then, I will be returning back to school. Fortunately, I have a resp, which here in Canada is an educational tax-free account, so I got tuition covered. On pace for well over 85k USD or 100k cad by graduation!
Last one doesn’t sound like he cares about a family. Hope he find happiness retrieving at fourty and focusing on himself.
who knows, priorities can change
Why do you assume 20% ? As a loan officer most first time home buyers pit 3.5% down fha or 3% down conventional
that is true, I guess he could use a FHA loan. Next time I will run the numbers for that too
I don't think 20% is so much of a "lazy" assumption but rather a responsible target. Even if someone were to qualify for an FHA loan, having the discipline to wait until you can save 20% of a down payment is so much more valuable.
I put 5% down on a conventional in 2013 with a rate of 3.5%. Wasn't sure how much I needed for improvements/repairs. Made a bunch of extra payments to get rid of PMI years ago and it has worked out well. House more than doubled in value since so it was a good move for me. Obviously what we've seen in the last 4 years in the housing market is insanity, if I were to buy today I'd probably look to put more down
We need a video on high risk tolerance portfolios!
This would be a cool bi-monthly series!!
def enjoyed this video so i can see how i measure up to others. nver heard of 457b until today.
Yep with the first kid, very aware for a 19 year old. But once he's on his own, that 80% turns into nothing real, quick.
To the software engineer, sell everything and all in on NVDA!
