    Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

      The strategies are quite rigorous for the regular. They are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skills/knowledge to pull such trades off.

    My grandmother told me to put half of all money incoming into savings. Never buy on credit. SAVE to buy a new car. SAVE to buy a house. She always paid cash, lived through the S.F. Earthquake, the Depression, both World Wars, was a single mom/widow and traveled the world. Died a millionaire at 90. Amazing life she had.

    I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45

      Emerson I think he ment working days... so $50/day at 20 work days per month is $1000 a month.... looking at most Americans situation, that not common... about 1/2 the population in America struggles to come up with $1000 for an emergency, even $500 is hard for about 40% of people...that’s not good .

      To be fair, $50 per day is only $18K per year. The 401K contribution limit is $19K and every 40 year old should be secure enough in their career where they are able to max out that 401K contribution.

      When I was a kid we opened a Bank Savings Account when we were in grade school. Learning how to save should start as soon as you learn how to spend/count money. Starts with a piggy bank and not having to buy everything you want on any given week. Or day. It's called self-control.

      If you can, then start in your 20s. Not sure if social security will be around when you're able to retire. Also, expenses go up every year. Those 70 year olds probably had less expenses than you or I will.

    At 40 I emigrated to a high-cost-of-living country, instantly switching my total net worth from 2X my home value to 0.5X my home value. All advice from others who had emigrated were WRONG. Common sense indicating that I would "emigrate to be poor" even with decent income, was accurate. Moral of the story - trust yourself.

      That's why she has not that much savings or none (according to her).

      I have around 54k saved and a paid off car thats only 2 yrs old but $0 in retirement accounts or 401k's, the reason is because I was hoping to put a 20% down payment on a house and hopefully have a 100% paid off house by the time that I retire at age 65-70 but in the area where I live the real estate market has gotten so crazy expensive ($250k - $300k+) for starter homes from the 1950's - 1980's that I decided to just keep saving and hope that real estate prices normalize back down to $150k to 200k for starter homes, if they dont normalize by the time I have around 100k cash saved up then I will just take the 100k cash I have saved and move further up north to an area where brand new construction houses are $125k to $180k. I can get a 10-15 yr loan to pay off the 25k-50k that I need to finance to finish paying the house putting 100k down, ill probably save some of the 100k too in case I lose my job or something. I'm not 40 yet though, im about to be 35 next month.
