I think this book has some solid advice. However, I believe life should be balanced. I am 40 with zero inheritance and much prefer amassing wealth (millions) while moderately satisfying my wants simultaneously. This means I invest 30% of my gross income while driving a very expensive car (bought new, paid off, and still driving only 7000 miles/year) and taking several expensive international vacations per year (my absolute favorite thing to do). I must add that I have paid off my home plus an additional car and have no childcare expenses. One just needs a high income (for me from excessive years of education/training) and to choose tradeoffs that are consistent with his/her life preferences. But I see no value in frugality and sacrificing all one’s desires to retire later in life as a multi-millionaire without enjoying your life, as you see fit, within reason. I have seen many die earlier than expected or reach social security age with mental and/or physical limitations that preclude the use of millions to enjoy one’s post-retirement years. Everything must be done in moderation! Prepare for rainy days but also relish the sunshine.
This video accurately describes most everyday millionaires. For example, I am one, and nobody thinks I have 2 cents to rub together because of my lifestyle choices, habits, unimpressive clothes, and the very old car I drive. The main factor is to just live well below your means.
I am a millionaire, but never live like one. I drive a top of the line luxury sedan, but it is 14 years old. I'm 90 years old and never want for anything.
Thank you very much for this amazing video. Your advice and the quality of the video is not taken for granted. I know how much it takes to plan and produce such video, so thanks for offering this to us for free.
And that might mean shielding them from the modern educational system who, more than likely, will not remotely share your values or your attitude toward money if you're a millionaire.
They needed to get as many scholarships as possible for us to pay for a 4 year college, that was the deal. Still, make sure they’re not getting socialist brainwashed
The majority of people believe a high consumption lifestyle makes you rich. Most rich people accumulating wealth live below their income which is boring to the masses.
I have saved a large amount of money but unfortunately not enough to buy a house and lease it. I can wait another year to save more, the problem is that I tried to consult a professional company and they did not help much. I wish I could find a good financial councilor. Unfortunately I am from a different country, far away from you.
I would do my own research and find the best investment opportunity for YOU. Some invest in real estate and succeed, some fail. Some invest in stocks and win big while others lose. There is no universally good or bad investment. With some sound unbiased research, you can always find something that works and helps you sleep at night. Keep me posted on how it works out for you!
@@karlabritfeld7104 they did for the last two years. My f150 was worth more than I paid for it two years ago brand new. That is about to correct itself but it has been true for a while now.
I think I'm a bit of both I have decent cars on my drive but overall I'm pretty Frugal and more or less budget my whole year in advance. The thing is, according to alot of these spiritual programs being frugal does nt really attract abundance. Thoughts?
I was able to retire young and have a decent home… not extravagant. I guess my one extravagance was buying a new a Subaru, which I’ll keep 8 years. I don’t want a showy house or car. I want to fit in. We care what our neighbors think, by that I mean we want to fit in with our neighbors …. We do our own lawn care and fly economy. A new Subaru certainly won’t give us away.
Most people who are poor spend their money on making themselves look like they have more money than they have. If you're not like that, you have a chance.

I agree but your idea of balences is still closer to 50/ 50, this video is probably to help people who save 10% or less
So congrats, you did it right
I agree 100% with your POV, and the key advice you gave. " high income & moderation! Cheers to a happy life!

90yrs? You need to start spending! 😆
@@theblessedblackwoman Yeh, but life long habits are hard to break.
@@howellwong11 I know. But shame for someone else to spend your hard earned cash. Please spend some of it on yourself.
@@theblessedblackwoman Yeh, I know, but we do anything for our children. My parents couldn't so I try to make up for it.
As long as you are happy… spending doesn’t make for happy. Enjoy 💸💰😊

Much appreciate the nice feedback!
This is great when you don’t have kids. But when you have kids you want to give them the best education!
And that might mean shielding them from the modern educational system who, more than likely, will not remotely share your values or your attitude toward money if you're a millionaire.

That Porsche appreciating nicely with inflation, tho!
You don't want to sell your Porsche to get out of debt...
When does a car appreciate in value?
@@karlabritfeld7104 they did for the last two years. My f150 was worth more than I paid for it two years ago brand new. That is about to correct itself but it has been true for a while now.
I think all cars; my bmw 1, 5 years later, costs only €5,000 less, i.e. depreciation of only €80 / month (in inflated currency).
I think I'm a bit of both I have decent cars on my drive but overall I'm pretty Frugal and more or less budget my whole year in advance. The thing is, according to alot of these spiritual programs being frugal does nt really attract abundance. Thoughts?
Great question. I also I ask this. how would you attract abundance.
I was able to retire young and have a decent home… not extravagant. I guess my one extravagance was buying a new a Subaru, which I’ll keep 8 years. I don’t want a showy house or car. I want to fit in. We care what our neighbors think, by that I mean we want to fit in with our neighbors …. We do our own lawn care and fly economy. A new Subaru certainly won’t give us away.
Cars are a waste. I drive a 20 year old explorer with 143k miles lol
lol, my net worth is in the negative, im goanna have to change that
Me too lol
