@@cedricjackson7521that really doesn't work in most states. You can't play house and not be married. They have common law marriages that don't even need to be official. You spend enough time with them, and you could be considered married. In Texas you only have to declare your married and you legally are. So unless you have a house and she has her own and you live separate, not being legally married doesn't protect you
@@chi2251,just the poor ones. All dreams have a price. They made the choice when they signed the loan. They knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. They can spend the rest of their lives paying back their debts ,alone. Hope their dreams were worth it.
Yes, military guys can get to the bag really easily, as long as they don't get chumped. Unfortunately, most of them do. At least when I was in the military, 25 years ago.
My wife and I are both Career military (17 years and 13 years respectively). No student debt, six figure incomes, amazing benefits etc. The military may not be for everyone, but it can really set you up for life.
@@ericnewman6523 The base pay is what you are most likely referring to. There's also housing (2X since they are married) and food allowance (2X as well), both are tax free. If they are stationed overseas there are additional tax free allowances as well. Also based on if they are enlisted or officers makes a huge difference as well. Military net pay is a higher percentage than civilians due to these tax free allowances and free healthcare. Just because you're poor doesn't mean that they are as well.
I paid-off my Ex-Wife's Discover Credit Card, so that it could be closed. We were just trying to eliminate Credit Card Debt (or at least I was). She went on a trip for work, and purchased shoes, and some clothes on the Discover Card. The money I used was from a Car Accident Settlement. I felt bad about it. That's when I realized the Student Loan Debt that She had, too. Not a huge deal, if we are trying to pay down debt. Problem is, She had the most debt, and was not doing Her part. The shoes and clothes are not the problem. Why be sneaky? Purchase the Clothes on a Card We are not closing. We are Divorced, mostly because She was Single. I was Married.
I began the process to go to the Navy while in college my mom literally cried and begged me not to do it. I regret that till this day. I think about that often how by now I probably would’ve been still active while working and headed towards retirement. The older generation was very ignorant towards a lot of things, and that was one of them.
@antondaniels Your right about the military and wrong....as a Vet who did two deployments to Iraq. I can tell you this guy is lucky or his luck will run out...the divorce rate in the military is higher than civilians population. 🎲 you are rolling the dice when you go in and you really have to do your research like going to college!
The Air Force (other branches as well) has tuition assistance program where they pay for classes as long as you get a C or above. no need to touch your GU bill until you get out
Retired Air Force here. Yes the benefits are pretty good. My wife is also retired and we literally don't have to work. If you save you money, it can really benefit you.
That's the boat I'm in right now. 😂 I work just to give me something to do and go to school for another degree since I have to use up my Post 911. That's BAH coming in just for taking classes.

I'm retired military and it was a great decision to join. I have a six figure pension, I retired at 39 years old, got a bachelor's and master's degree paid for by the military and lifetime medical benefits. Additionally, I landed another six figure job after I retired! Talk about getting the bag!!!
Same here especially since I am 100% VA and getting six figures at my current gig. I am near social security eligibility, so you are lucky. Bank all those earnings and invest.
I retired after 22 years in the Marine Corps at 40 years old. I had $7k in the bank. I was hired for my military knowledge in electronics at $180k per year. I was at that position for almost five years at that salary. I had no debt, plus, I was drawing military retirement, so I was 'Banking' over $200k per year. I bought Gold, I bought silver, I bought foreign currency, I bought crypto currency, and now 'Life is good' with ALL of those things. There's NO WAY, I would waste it on a woman, who has no sense of financial responsibility at my age. NOPE!

Then those interest rates hit them, and they find out the reality of 'Debt'. NOPE! And that's the difference between men and women. I will not 'Save' a woman from her irresponsibility just because she has a 'Big but and a smile'. I ain't paying none of her bills to date 'ME', and I'm not saving her from her irresponsibility, just for her to leave me afterwards. Crazy thing is...

I like living 'Humbly' knowing I can buy whatever I want if I wanted it, but I just don't care for those things I see other people displaying as symbols of them 'making it' in their lives.

Make sure you are being seen for any past ailments to bring them up to date. It will help whwn you file for your disability. I just retired in January 2023 after 28+ years and getting 100% disability. Living in Texas it's a plus because they cater veterans.
I’m from an old school middle class black family in the South, and they held this same beliefs about the Military until I joined the Marines in ‘07. My mother’s first cousin died in Vietnam, so it was a no go especially since Herc died in the Marine Corps. Broke that trend and now have a couple little cousins making a good living and a name for themselves now too. It’s worth it if you love your country.

Going to the military was the best decision of my life. I’m 35. I get a military pension for the rest of my life. I own a home that’s $565 per month for the mortgage in Woodstock GA, thanks to the VA home loan (2bed2bath). I don’t pay property taxes. I have no college debt and will have my home paid off next year. I get free health care. Joining the Navy was the absolute best decision of my life.

So ima give my truth, im 38 I did 15yrs in the Army 4 tours, I got wounded in 2016, I have a purple 💜 heart. I do get 5k a month tax free a month for life, I also have a full time job at state farm, all together i make 145k a year, i have 350k in equity, no student loan debt but i have 450k i can get to thats with equity.
I did 5 years active duty army. The military is NOT worth it imo, but I would not have the knowledge I needed without it because of how I grew up but you can get that knowledge without putting yourself through that.
All of this is true. My son joined at 19. He is 3 years away from retirement at 39 years of age. He will leave with his Masters in hand, and he just brought a brand-new car cash, from Audi shipped to his house. I am so proud of him. He will have his pension and can start a new career if he wants. And he went into the medical field. Good luck out there!!!!

This excellent video on Income, Retirement, and Lifestyle.....manage current life vs manage post retirement life.. ..This guy got no DEBT .. 🙌.. Thanks,,ATON!
I just retired from the military after 28+ yrs as a Major and was banking. My rent was always undwr my BAH so it cover all my utilities to include internet. My food allowance covered my groceries so my pay was used for saving, investing and other small things i would want to do. I lump sum paid my house off before i retired so im just paying utilities. No property tax and I get a monthly stipend because I'm going to college. 😂😂 I work because I want to work and don't have to work, plus I max out my 401k with the company I work for.
😃Congratulations! and thank you for your service! I am a Navy Veteran in the same boat! ( pun intended 😆) I am so happy that I served. It was well worth it! we are set for life! Glad to know other veterans are doing well in life.
Yes, if you go overseas you make more with rations such as housing, hazpay, etc. The Marine Corps was greatly beneficial to me, did 10 years, and have been in the top 3% of earners for over 25 years now.
I joined the Army at 22 in 2007. Lived in a deprived environment, education stagnated, couldn't get myself together and surrounded by negative family members who were sponges. Best thing I ever did. First time in my life I had structure, a meritocracy and self confidence and the ability to plan yourself out of any situation if given enough time.
Aviano AB has a very nice mountain view! Shoutout to Darren for having a line number for Master Sergeant, that extra money will do damage in the Thrift Savings Plan 💰
Anton you’re becoming my favorite UA-camr cause you speak real shit about real topics… I’m a young entrepreneur from Detroit and I seriously hope I meet you one day 💯
The military is not for everyone but it worked for me. Received training in communications and got out at the time Telecommunications was ramping up. In addition to that, they were making a big effort to hire blacks. It was still thirteen years before there was another black person on the crew. Yes...in the Air Force they used the N-word often and in the civilian sector they were not shy either. But, I showed up early, worked my a$$ off and always had a smile. Perhaps it helped that there was a rifle in my pickup gun rack. This was in the era of workers in the post office going "postal". Back then, a rifle rack was the number one accessory before beverage cups....hell we kept our beer between our legs. Then they came out with 401K and as a single person, I invested the maximum. If memory serves my right, when I took the paperwork to the secretary, the Challenger disaster was on the TV. I learned early in life to take care of my needs and not my wants. The first thing I cut out of my life was watches. There came a time, no matter where I looked...there was a clock of some sort. The next thing you know it was 2000 and a new employee was checking his 401K daily and was getting excited. He was using something called the "world wide web". So, out of curiosity, i went "online" through our company's portal and...oh wow! 1.8 MILLION!! But, right after, that crook Bernie Ebbers lost it all for me. Them's the breaks!! Life is still good because the Lord is still looking out for me and that matters the most.
If she is already heavily in debt and doesn’t manage her finances properly. By marrying her he is taking on her financial burden of which is not good starting off a marriage.
Military family here so my parents told me I'm going to college or joining the military. I joined at 17 and was in Iraq at 18 lol. I didnt retire but I do get a check for the rest of my life including medical benefits.
Watched the video on cnbc , this guy has a great plan for his family but when he said he will retire from the military and let his wife go for a career I was like hell no. Being a stay at home husband at around 40 taking care of the kids and the wife goes to work? You all know that woman will resent her husband really quick and that marriage will scrumble. In a perfect world that would not be a problem and they could switch roles and everything would be fine. But we all know that will not be the case most likely 🙂
Dog, he’s not even grandfathered into the 50% pension plan anymore. He’s got a glorified 401K, so he’ll definitely be working unless he makes life changing money.
If he's smart and it very much looks like he is, he's set up to be fine with or without her. But even then, she's probably not like all these other women out there. I know a women right now who's in her exact position, she works, husband is retired. Any time he's thought about going back to work she shuts him down.
@@DekuMight4550% is based on time served not the retirement plan. It only change .5% and he’s clearly taking advantage of it and will probably be making more. Also he was in before the mandatory change to the new system.
Well his base player is lower since he is an enlisted man. I retired as an officer so my pay was double his. If he lives on base, its free. He just pays for cable. If he lives off base, he gets BAH which is money that is supposed to cover his rent. BAS covers his food. I miss that pay lol.
You don’t have to have anything expensive to have money Anton. I still have cheap equipment, etc and earn multiple 6 figures. I’m not rich but my cost of living are so low, under $1000 that people would conceive I’m rich and cheap if they knew my finances l
A community at the epicenter of a national scandal involving military veterans is still demanding dramatic reform one decade later. The group Concerned Veterans for America gathered in Phoenix on Wednesday on the 10-year anniversary of the V.A. health care scandal first reported by The Arizona Republic and CNN. In 2014, whistleblowers in Phoenix exposed how the agency’s medical centers manipulated wait time statistics while at least 40 veterans died while waiting for appointments.
He is lucky. He gets OHA. Overseas housing allowance. When I got to Germany in 2007, I was forced to live on base because there was cutbacks. So that means he can pulling more money for his rent and he is pocketing that. Since he is active duty and probably not under BRS, he is not getting a government match. I am getting a 4% match now with my current employer.
The VA has requested $369.3 billion for its fiscal 2025 budget, including nearly $150 billion for health care. Within that amount, the VA has allocated $86 billion for care provided in VA hospitals and clinics and $41 billion for private network care. The rise in cost and utilization of the latter,commonly referred to as community care, and the Biden administration's focus on providing care to veterans in VA facilities,have set off debate among lawmakers during this year's budget deliberations over how to fund VA care and where veterans should get their medical treatment
Im 100% P&T with free medical and dental for life, tax breaks, and $3700 a month for life. Im living rent-free in a 3 bed room home, and i only pay 3 utilities. Cell, electricity, car note
Being stationed overseas you get paid more in allowances than being stationed in the states so that's a big difference. We, I'm retired, as military don't get paid like our civilian counterparts but it's made up in the benefits and allowances we get while serving. I'm glad I was able to retire with all my benefits and VA benefits. He's on a really good course and providing for his family.
Hey Anton, can you do a little segment about Detroit before and after the bankruptcy? Did you ever get to read Kevyn Orr's report about Detroit prior to the bankruptcy? I would love to hear your thoughts. I love hearing your thoughts on everything!!
I was stationed at Aviano from 2017-2020 and made bank out there. I probably saved $50K easy. A portion of that money went towards the down payment for a house, which I plan on renting out. I sold 30 days of leave and used that money for the renovations. I got my MBA in 2023 and 80% was paid by Uncle Sam. I get all I can out of the military.
I love these types of success stories. The military gets a bad rap at times but it literally saved my life. I joined the Navy at 19 years old as a high school drop out back in 1989, leaving behind a crime infested neighborhood, crack addicted parents, and a bunch of friends that started their rotations in and out of prison. So many of my own people said I was making a mistake, or I wouldn't make it. Hell, my brother even called me a fool to go into a situation where other people would tell me when to wake up, when to eat, and when/how to cut my hair. I ignored all the noise and did what I believed to be best for a better future. After completing 26 years of service I retired with a six figure military retirement, my degree (paid for by the Navy), and debt free. I used my degree and security clearance to get a six figure job as a civilian working for the Navy again and am looking foreward to retiring a second time in a few years. My wife of 27 years (been together for 31) had her degrees paid for by the Navy (shout out to the Post 911 GI Bill) and is looking at retiring in 4 years as a GS 15. She will have 30 years as a Federal employee when she retires as well as a nice pension. Between savings, maxing out our TSPs and other investmets over the years, we've been able to put away several million dollars so far. For us its not the money thats the highlight, its having the financial freedom to do what we want when we want that we enjoy.
Also he will probably get va disability as well which on average for someone who does 20 years is a %80 rating so probably $2500 by the time he retires
My black ass joined the navy. Served 8 years. Debt free, Own 4 cars, paid off, Beautiful home, and best of all, beautiful family. I'm 32 by the way. Within my 1st year of joining, I visited 8 different countries.
Nearing 300k on my TSP and I turn 38 next week. Been working for the feds for 10 years. 70k on my Roth IRA, and almost 200k on vanguard brokerage. Compound interest is your best friend. Start investing young, and by the 8-10 year mark is when you'll really start seeing your investments build up due to compound interests
Military is one of the smartest decisions I wish I had made. Free or low cost healthcare is one of main reasons to join. Medical bills can set a person back by in no time flat. The opportunity to travel or live in different countries is nice as well.
Best decision I've ever made. I have no student loans for the many degrees I have. My buddy have 2 Masters and going for another. Nothibg out of pocket
His wife is definitely (not black) .. I joined the military at 17 left for basic at 19 … I didn’t get too far, but I was in the Army national guard… ..for those that are good in school, (I wasn’t airfoirce is the way to go.
Someone please explain how this guy is making over 6 figures as a E-5, E-6 in the military. I’m active duty at the same rank and I guess I’m doing it all wrong lol. The only thing I can think of is enlistment and reenlistment bonuses and maybe he is including whatever his wife is making. But no way is he making that on the “enlisted” side
Never mind I just seen the pie chart. He only makes half of that since his monthly salary is 4.6k. You don’t pocket the housing allowance overseas AND what they don’t tell you is when you PCS because those companies are crooked you end up coming out of pocket for utilities when you outprocess a lot of times lol
He encourages you to stay at home till 30 while stacking and investing. Better to live at home and save more and by late twenties. You can own a home cash no debt. I don’t think he ever encouraged getting married young but that depends on what’s young to you? Some still see 30 as young so yes
@@soulman4real839 he often speaks on marrying, while young before being established however he also mentions men have more options because a man improves with age.
I’m referring to most military service members that are broke because of financial illiteracy and or irresponsible spending, you dimwits. Also I’ve in service for 10 years so I kinda know what I’m talking about

This excellent video on Income, Retirement, and Lifestyle.....manage current life vs manage post retirement life.. ..This guy got no DEBT .. 🙌.. Thanks,,ATON!
I just retired from the military after 28+ yrs as a Major and was banking. My rent was always undwr my BAH so it cover all my utilities to include internet. My food allowance covered my groceries so my pay was used for saving, investing and other small things i would want to do. I lump sum paid my house off before i retired so im just paying utilities. No property tax and I get a monthly stipend because I'm going to college. 😂😂 I work because I want to work and don't have to work, plus I max out my 401k with the company I work for.
😃Congratulations! and thank you for your service! I am a Navy Veteran in the same boat! ( pun intended 😆) I am so happy that I served. It was well worth it! we are set for life! Glad to know other veterans are doing well in life.
@ShutterSpeedGaming, congratulations to you as well. It's definitely a great feeling, and the number of us that make it to 20 years is very small.
Her debt easily becomes YOUR debt. Hard pass.
The allowances are non taxable.
Yes, if you go overseas you make more with rations such as housing, hazpay, etc. The Marine Corps was greatly beneficial to me, did 10 years, and have been in the top 3% of earners for over 25 years now.
I joined the Army at 22 in 2007. Lived in a deprived environment, education stagnated, couldn't get myself together and surrounded by negative family members who were sponges. Best thing I ever did. First time in my life I had structure, a meritocracy and self confidence and the ability to plan yourself out of any situation if given enough time.
let's talk asset not liability!
Aviano AB has a very nice mountain view! Shoutout to Darren for having a line number for Master Sergeant, that extra money will do damage in the Thrift Savings Plan 💰
Not free housing they take that BAH money but he’s still doing good for 4800 dollars after all that
This is amazing was dating a girl and she wanted handouts when it came to marriage she was in 60k in debt🤯
Very very smart man... Guys start asking these females what's they credit score before you start dating them DRIZZLE DRIZZLE 🕺🏾
Anton you’re becoming my favorite UA-camr cause you speak real shit about real topics… I’m a young entrepreneur from Detroit and I seriously hope I meet you one day 💯
Same situation we broke up 2 months ago after 2 years she had $ 40,000 plus in student loans
If you didn't get married you dodged a bullet..
Did you already know about the debt during those 2 years, or did she drop it on you after 2 years? Sorry it didnt work out regardless.
@@2muchReality7ven I knew about it but she made no attempt at all to repay the debt
@@crooked52h Gotcha. That will do it then.
My son is in the Marines I keep talking to make the best out of it. I want my sons to make good financial decisions. They are 18, 21
The military is not for everyone but it worked for me. Received training in communications and got out at the time Telecommunications was ramping up. In addition to that, they were making a big effort to hire blacks. It was still thirteen years before there was another black person on the crew. Yes...in the Air Force they used the N-word often and in the civilian sector they were not shy either. But, I showed up early, worked my a$$ off and always had a smile. Perhaps it helped that there was a rifle in my pickup gun rack. This was in the era of workers in the post office going "postal". Back then, a rifle rack was the number one accessory before beverage cups....hell we kept our beer between our legs. Then they came out with 401K and as a single person, I invested the maximum. If memory serves my right, when I took the paperwork to the secretary, the Challenger disaster was on the TV. I learned early in life to take care of my needs and not my wants. The first thing I cut out of my life was watches. There came a time, no matter where I looked...there was a clock of some sort. The next thing you know it was 2000 and a new employee was checking his 401K daily and was getting excited. He was using something called the "world wide web". So, out of curiosity, i went "online" through our company's portal and...oh wow! 1.8 MILLION!! But, right after, that crook Bernie Ebbers lost it all for me. Them's the breaks!! Life is still good because the Lord is still looking out for me and that matters the most.
She submitted herself to him‼️‼️‼️
If she is already heavily in debt and doesn’t manage her finances properly. By marrying her he is taking on her financial burden of which is not good starting off a marriage.
Military family here so my parents told me I'm going to college or joining the military. I joined at 17 and was in Iraq at 18 lol. I didnt retire but I do get a check for the rest of my life including medical benefits.
Make sure you get everything you deserve. God bless you and thank you for your service.
Watched the video on cnbc , this guy has a great plan for his family but when he said he will retire from the military and let his wife go for a career I was like hell no. Being a stay at home husband at around 40 taking care of the kids and the wife goes to work? You all know that woman will resent her husband really quick and that marriage will scrumble. In a perfect world that would not be a problem and they could switch roles and everything would be fine. But we all know that will not be the case most likely 🙂
Dog, he’s not even grandfathered into the 50% pension plan anymore. He’s got a glorified 401K, so he’ll definitely be working unless he makes life changing money.
If he's smart and it very much looks like he is, he's set up to be fine with or without her. But even then, she's probably not like all these other women out there. I know a women right now who's in her exact position, she works, husband is retired. Any time he's thought about going back to work she shuts him down.
@@hoopandhands3328Why?! 🤔🤷♂️
@@DekuMight4550% is based on time served not the retirement plan. It only change .5% and he’s clearly taking advantage of it and will probably be making more. Also he was in before the mandatory change to the new system.
Well his base player is lower since he is an enlisted man. I retired as an officer so my pay was double his. If he lives on base, its free. He just pays for cable. If he lives off base, he gets BAH which is money that is supposed to cover his rent. BAS covers his food. I miss that pay lol.
Blue is a lack of oxygen, not sugar. That's literally the first thing
learned for CPR. Yall keep giving credentials to ppl who don't care.
You don’t have to have anything expensive to have money Anton. I still have cheap equipment, etc and earn multiple 6 figures. I’m not rich but my cost of living are so low, under $1000 that people would conceive I’m rich and cheap if they knew my finances l
Need that financial scanner to avoid these dust bunnys
Also, while overseas they don't pay taxes
Yes, but you also need bank accounts to accrue interest.
A community at the epicenter of a national scandal involving military veterans is still demanding dramatic reform one decade later.
The group Concerned Veterans for America gathered in Phoenix on Wednesday on the 10-year anniversary of the V.A. health care scandal first reported by The Arizona Republic and CNN. In 2014, whistleblowers in Phoenix exposed how the agency’s medical centers manipulated wait time statistics while at least 40 veterans died while waiting for appointments.
He is lucky. He gets OHA. Overseas housing allowance. When I got to Germany in 2007, I was forced to live on base because there was cutbacks. So that means he can pulling more money for his rent and he is pocketing that. Since he is active duty and probably not under BRS, he is not getting a government match. I am getting a 4% match now with my current employer.
You can retire early and save fast when your military.
The VA has requested $369.3 billion for its fiscal 2025 budget, including nearly $150 billion for health care. Within that amount, the VA has allocated $86 billion for care provided in VA hospitals and clinics and $41 billion for private network care.
The rise in cost and utilization of the latter,commonly referred to as community care, and the Biden administration's focus on providing care to veterans in VA facilities,have set off debate among lawmakers during this year's budget deliberations over how to fund VA care and where veterans should get their medical treatment
Im 100% P&T with free medical and dental for life, tax breaks, and $3700 a month for life. Im living rent-free in a 3 bed room home, and i only pay 3 utilities. Cell, electricity, car note
Lots of retired military dudes still work as they collect a pension in their 40s.
Being stationed overseas you get paid more in allowances than being stationed in the states so that's a big difference. We, I'm retired, as military don't get paid like our civilian counterparts but it's made up in the benefits and allowances we get while serving. I'm glad I was able to retire with all my benefits and VA benefits. He's on a really good course and providing for his family.
Hey bro i agree with you on everything… but why the hell would you buy a 1k vacuum..i dont care how much that vacuum sucks
Hey Anton, can you do a little segment about Detroit before and after the bankruptcy? Did you ever get to read Kevyn Orr's report about Detroit prior to the bankruptcy? I would love to hear your thoughts. I love hearing your thoughts on everything!!
I was stationed at Aviano from 2017-2020 and made bank out there. I probably saved $50K easy. A portion of that money went towards the down payment for a house, which I plan on renting out. I sold 30 days of leave and used that money for the renovations. I got my MBA in 2023 and 80% was paid by Uncle Sam. I get all I can out of the military.
I think he's just talking about retirement from the the military...
Air Force changed the enlistment age to 42. People are living longer.
I love these types of success stories. The military gets a bad rap at times but it literally saved my life. I joined the Navy at 19 years old as a high school drop out back in 1989, leaving behind a crime infested neighborhood, crack addicted parents, and a bunch of friends that started their rotations in and out of prison. So many of my own people said I was making a mistake, or I wouldn't make it. Hell, my brother even called me a fool to go into a situation where other people would tell me when to wake up, when to eat, and when/how to cut my hair. I ignored all the noise and did what I believed to be best for a better future. After completing 26 years of service I retired with a six figure military retirement, my degree (paid for by the Navy), and debt free. I used my degree and security clearance to get a six figure job as a civilian working for the Navy again and am looking foreward to retiring a second time in a few years. My wife of 27 years (been together for 31) had her degrees paid for by the Navy (shout out to the Post 911 GI Bill) and is looking at retiring in 4 years as a GS 15. She will have 30 years as a Federal employee when she retires as well as a nice pension. Between savings, maxing out our TSPs and other investmets over the years, we've been able to put away several million dollars so far. For us its not the money thats the highlight, its having the financial freedom to do what we want when we want that we enjoy.
Also he will probably get va disability as well which on average for someone who does 20 years is a %80 rating so probably $2500 by the time he retires
set it first also
30 with a half a million amazing ✊🏾💯
My black ass joined the navy. Served 8 years. Debt free, Own 4 cars, paid off, Beautiful home, and best of all, beautiful family. I'm 32 by the way.
Within my 1st year of joining, I visited 8 different countries.
There's a reason the military budget is so large 😂
The service member deserve all the benefits and pay they get! They’re heros.
@@ShutterSpeedGaming I agree 100%
the Nvidia show their AI it's crazy
Thank you
Nearing 300k on my TSP and I turn 38 next week. Been working for the feds for 10 years. 70k on my Roth IRA, and almost 200k on vanguard brokerage. Compound interest is your best friend. Start investing young, and by the 8-10 year mark is when you'll really start seeing your investments build up due to compound interests
I don't blame dude.
Anton just won't close his mouth geez let the man talk damn.
I noticed there was no daddy in the house. That said, two parents are ideal. Yet, one strong parent can get the work done.
Facts!
Dads are best!
Military is one of the smartest decisions I wish I had made. Free or low cost healthcare is one of main reasons to join. Medical bills can set a person back by in no time flat. The opportunity to travel or live in different countries is nice as well.
Best decision I've ever made. I have no student loans for the many degrees I have. My buddy have 2 Masters and going for another. Nothibg out of pocket
She still had debt but stopped working
is going online the 23rd
His wife is definitely (not black) ..
I joined the military at 17 left for basic at 19 … I didn’t get too far, but I was in the Army national guard… ..for those that are good in school, (I wasn’t airfoirce is the way to go.
right I was told the same exact thing
I truly regret not going to the military!
Someone please explain how this guy is making over 6 figures as a E-5, E-6 in the military. I’m active duty at the same rank and I guess I’m doing it all wrong lol.
The only thing I can think of is enlistment and reenlistment bonuses and maybe he is including whatever his wife is making. But no way is he making that on the “enlisted” side
Never mind I just seen the pie chart. He only makes half of that since his monthly salary is 4.6k. You don’t pocket the housing allowance overseas AND what they don’t tell you is when you PCS because those companies are crooked you end up coming out of pocket for utilities when you outprocess a lot of times lol
I’m planning on joining the military this year in my 30s
Do it! Join the AirForce. God bless.
You got this
Do it. Active Army here. Military will set you up very well if you maneuver correctly and stay away from the party mentality.
@@dem9345 Thank you for your service
MILITARY AND POLICE PEOPLE!
Stupid money
Anton would you suggest men to marry young? Since the intended target is a debt free virgin.
He encourages you to stay at home till 30 while stacking and investing. Better to live at home and save more and by late twenties. You can own a home cash no debt. I don’t think he ever encouraged getting married young but that depends on what’s young to you? Some still see 30 as young so yes
@@soulman4real839 he often speaks on marrying, while young before being established however he also mentions men have more options because a man improves with age.
Lies he ain’t making 110k as a airmen! He’s like a E5 lol
He's a E-7
You don’t even know what you’re talking about.
@@ReapZer027 well then why did you make sure that you made a comment??
@@ericnewman6523 fixed it for you.
Unfortunately, this is not the case for most military service members today.
What? Military don’t pay BAH, or food stipend anymore?
This is cap 🧢 you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about.
I’m referring to most military service members that are broke because of financial illiteracy and or irresponsible spending, you dimwits. Also I’ve in service for 10 years so I kinda know what I’m talking about
@ShutterSpeedGaming how is it cap when not everybody know how to manage their finances properly? 🤔
Yess!!!!☺
Not wearing HotDog suits 👀 😂
1k for a vacuum.....
If he paying all the bills paying off that 25K will be easy. She definitely biracial to.
Buy GameStop stock so I can buy me a 900 vacuum
Yes sir that’s how military gets down well until divorce I was killing it then divorce happy
