As a 26 year old married guy who just bought a home for my wife and kids and owes $340,000, that debt is daunting! I cant wait to get where some of you are. I received a $90k insurance payout from a work injury and want to invest it in the stock market. How can I get started?
Honestly, i would leave that money in an account that yields 5% annually , or if you're willing to take the risk of getting into the stock market i suggest you consult with a trusted fiduciary advisor for directions.
My dear husband passed away in 2021, and I have around $400k from his life insurance just sitting in a bank account, earning nothing. I was advised to invest it through an advisor, and in just 18 months, I achieved over 80% capital growth, not including dividends. Highly recommended!

You’re right! The current market might give opportunities to maximize profit within a short term, but in order to execute such strategy , you must be a skilled practitioner.
It's relatively easy to invest in trending stocks, but determining the optimal time to sell or hold can be challenging. This is where a financial advisor can provide valuable guidance.

I’m 25, lived with my parents till I was 23. Became an RN at 21 years old. I have a paid off 2015 Corvette Stingray that I have had for 3 years now. I currently have no student debt. I make roughly 65k AFTER TAXES a year. I have 50k in my savings account right now. Live in Oklahoma which has one of the lowest cost of living. I’m about to purchase a brand new home here for 170k and am putting down 20 percent. The only payment I’ll have is the house payment which I plan to pay off in 6 years.
@@isalite Sure, here are a few tips. I know people say that you should do a career that you enjoy but it has to be a balance. It has to be a career that you somewhat enjoy but that also pays well. Nursing is a great option as there is a high demand and you can get in with just a 2 year program. Do not spend extra money on going to a big university. Instead go to a community college for your basics. This will shave thousands off student loans. If you can live with parents, then do it as this will save money as well. Get credit cards at an early age to build up your credit but use a credit card as a debit card and only spend what you already have in your bank. This will build up your credit. Start investing a little bit of money in a Roth IRA. That bit of money at 16 will be worth a lot more at retirement.
@@isalite if you go to college, get a good major that actually makes money. STEM or medical, also you can do trades when you first get out of highschool. Don't rush into college if you don't know what you want to do. Don't buy depreciating assets or go into debt for them. If you save money first then your money can be making money for you and by the time you are 30 or 40 you'll be able to have a good quality of life without being broke like everyone else.
Man what an awesome example he is and his parents are so generous; they raised him right too! Kudos.... keep it up buddy!!! I love your spirit of gratitude!
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, will ever beable to replace Papa Dave. They don't think on their feet as fast. They're all scripted and not as passionate that comes along with the experience. Chris is good in his own right but just go listen to the Chris Hogan show and you'll soon realize he's no Dave.
Yeah Dave Ramsey is so smart. Poor people acting like they’re rich won’t talk about money because they don’t wanna think about their debt. I guess if money is a comfortable topic, then you’re doing alright
Both know system to be made party candidate is corrupt and fed by same money to ensure legislation/interests at all levels esp at top are protected. Some things may get thru but majority is controlled by donors/big industry lobbyists incl big pharma, food, big tech, oil etc. Google/big tech/silicon valley closely tied to pentagon/CIA and donate to both sides. Global monetary banking system is part of it. I’m guessing neither Chris or Dave are willing to play the game with the sharks and make the deals they’d need to. Promises to voters from the front while making deals w/donors/lobbyists and other players behind closed doors. Follow the money.
That is awesome that his parents helped him through college and set him up for success to get a good job. I started my sons college fund in January with a good growth etf heavy in tech. Next 16 years will pay for itself from any contributions. I see it as my responsibility to set up my kids for success before they graduate high school. And here you have the results. 24 year olds calling in with good money problems
you're correct. but i'm so very afraid that we will now be considered "the Rich" even though we're just saving little by little over time, making sacrifices...trying to do the right thing.
Do you want to be a millionaire? If you only have $1,000,000, 4% is $40,000. You’ll need a lot more if you want to live better in retirement than before.
@@liamgerard8870 4% is if you want to live on that money and have it maintain it's value or grow over time. If you plan to live on it for 30/40 years you can use more than that. 40k/yr is 25 years even if you money doesn't generate any ROI, 5%/6% is more accurate for retirement, unless you want your kids to be able to live off your money after you pass away.
My dad fell for the credit lie. He tells me it's best to get a credit score up to max. He remortgages the house when he thinks the house value goes up so he can pull the value from the house to have "non-taxable income". But, I said that has to be paid back. He said it isn't right to live in a house you've paid off. And that's when I knew my dad was financially stupid.
Just turned 23, I bought a home at 22. Have 2 cars, bought them at 18 and 19 attacked the loans and now they are paid off and worth combined $25,000. Got $5600 saved in bank $17500 in my 401k, $3500 in Roth and maybe another 3-4k amongst my other portfolios
@perotal; its good not to plug to much. Keeping ppl engaged is better then overloading with advertisements, it takes down the credibility. The reason i like these clips better then lives shows.
Yes that’s a great idea, I wish I knew about the potentials of the stock market at 24. But I’m getting into stocks, Yes I am afraid I won’t know what to do after I get my retirement account set up. I will have to figure it out. I am pretty much on my own with this but I won’t let anything crush this dream, this opportunity, my happiness.
@@robertrichardson5305 Study Study Study !! This are really critical times so be more cautions in dealing with this pretty much complicated market. You need to be prepared for anything that it’s going to throw your way.

I did not believe that the market could be provide an amazing boost to my income until I came across Madam Shaw with her systematic method of trading I made $140k in 12 active days with just $32k capital and I made full withdrawal.

I would not recommend a 401k, you have no idea how much taxes will get in the future 20,30,50 years from now. A Roth would definitely be a better question.
Mzans X ... then go to a different industry. Guys this isn’t rocket science. You gonna be out of work for 5 years to stay in the same industry you get what’s coming to you
Well they wanted participation trophies and “pleasant” colors for correcting homework and tests through grade school among other things. So this is what you get.
Hey Dave one problem I have is, my parents fell into the same debt trap as everybody, and yet they never talked about it and still don’t know what there really doing. I just want to say there is hope for people whose parents don’t feel comfortable talking about money. Buy rich dad poor dad, goat of all books and only watch Dave Ramsey and its basically worth 4 years at college
i make 45k a year on paper 38k solid cash i have about 160k saved but in stocks and 30k saved in cash just cause i had parents who were horrible with cash... i still stress over cash cause i feel like i can lose it at any moment
At the end of the day remember it is up to you so don't always rely on someone to introduce you to money, God, or politics. I have done the searching myself. Many people including me at the age of 16 haven't had hardly any meals with their family to talk about anything.
but it is better to have a shortcut from the people who had already learned how to do it.. ofcourse i get your point each person has a different life and different experience but not falling down in the same mistake that they have already been in is a wise thing to do i think
I'm 27 making about 110k this year, I save most of my money right now. I have slightly under 100k invested (post tax account), I would like to hit 200k by 30 so that I'll have close to 2,000,000 by retirement age (60) even if I don't invest any additional money from 30-60. I know I invest more than is recommended, but honestly I don't really need to live in luxury right now. I enjoy being able to say that I could buy most things, without actually having to do it. I also like working a lot, I have two jobs, as well as motivation towards starting my own tech startup.
Dave's Baby Steps will take the caller to a large store of wealth and EntreLeadership would provide the potential for it to be far more well before normal retirement age for most people. We followed similar steps late in our twenties and became multi-millionaires before we were fifty. Now we spend our time in ministry / charitable and entrepreneurial endeavors of our choice with no financial worries. The LORD is good!

Everyone I know who had their college paid for by their parents are doing above average. They have an advantage, Duh. These people would not be where they are without that but you all turn around and point fingers at people struggling to pay for their degree. Shameful. If more people had that gift the world would be a different place.
But but but, he's supposed to move out at 18 and pave his own way as an adult and fend for himself and be living paycheck to paycheck like the rest of us 🙄. I dont see this crowd in this video 🤔
@@robertrouillier6319 I agree, my only issue is lots of people I know get stuck in a life of hardship and financial stress because of moving out early. If you can achieve your goals and are happy thats all that matters.
Not everyone is in your shoes which is why *gasp* not every video will apply to you. The lessons though do. There are a thousand videos for you to watch of Dave Ramsey of people in your shoes, but some like this might (hopefully) apply to you at some point in your future. What's the common lessons though? Get on a written budget, spend less than you make and avoid debt. Easier said than done for sure but it is essential to strive for those attributes if you want to win and get ahead.
Trading in fact isn't gambling. You need to learn how to read price action and purchase stock whenever there's a lower risk and high profitability in play. For people that know trading understand, for the ones that don't, there's a thing called Expert Guidance. Consult an expert to guide you whilst you remain in total control of your accounts.
This is to educate people on UA-cam that are starting out that anything is possible. You will need to take major risks and invest TIME into whatever you may wanna do. Don't let "UA-cam Trolls" discourage you by showing everyone who is "successful" is either a scam, or from a rich family. People put their own insecurities on others so don't let them bring you down. Good luck to everyone trying to get ahead in life, wish you guys nothing but the best
I have always wanted to expand my business but I could not do that because the cash was not forth coming as I had planned. Getting referred to Maria Leda Goebe played a great role in that vision. Mrs. Maria is a great mentor and the best trader/Account manager on my list.
Its really not that hard when you don't waste your money on dumb depreciating assets like fancy cars. And I assume he's living with his parents, smart man.
I don't get the title. The kid is 24 and has 40k and makes 50k. What do you mean "don't know what to do with all of my money"?? That's not that much money. Save for emergency. Save for retirement. Buy a home. That 40k doesn't go far. Not saying he's in a bad place he's doing great. But I expected him to say he has 500k not 40 based on the title
Wouldn’t you think he would move the example amount 25 k to the money market account rather then the 15 only because you can write checks from a money market account where you could leave the 15 k for emergencies in the other account. If he was trying to buy a house he would be able to just write the check .
22 years old born 2002 72k in savings drive a 2022 Mazda 3 all paid off Born into a single parent house hold. Never have parents who were able to pay for anything. Never had help. Everything I have now is self made
So riddle me this, I am 24 I make 110k-150k/yr and my only debt is my house (130k) and no truck payment but my truck is old and unreliable. I have 30k I want to use to build a garage ideally. Should I build a garage or buy a new truck? Or use the money towards something more useful? Perhaps a rental property? What do I do?
If you understand the truth about the US (and most) political systems you’d know as both Chris and Dave do they can do far more good from their platform now then in a very corrupt money driven political system. Deals are made to powerful donors/lobbyists all the way up who feed both sides to ensure their interests are protected. Hopefully maybe one day this will start to change.
Don’t worry if you feel lost in your 20s and haven’t accomplished much as human studies show that most people don’t maturely really start their lives until they reach their 30s . My dad didn’t start making a six figure job or a bought a house until he was 39
Try to workout a lot or of join social clubs or do UA-cam content or something you love that will pay for your roof over your head and will distract from women . Remember the women will come to you and when you make the bank not when before you making bank
I'm 27 have a little over 50k saved i want to buy a house but I also want to buy something that can make me money like a business(idk what yet) is that smart or is it smarter to buy a house instead
I'm 24 and have $155,000 from saving hard for the couple of years I've been working. Feeling similar to this guy, but unsure if I should knock off 50% of a house purchase or invest in other things (Already investing over 15% in a S&S ISA)
After watching this video, I am almost exactly like this guy. It's not hard to save... especially if you started working as early as in high school (I started working at age 17). If you get a fully paid used car and reduce your monthly expenses as much as possible, you can save that much money if you are in the same shoes as him. (With a fortunate parent and no debt). I am 23 making 54k a year (after college) and living with my parents. I plan to move soon as well. So, because I have no debt and I am fortunate enough to live with my parents. I can begin saving for a down payment. The only problem is I also live in Florida and boy we are in a hot market. Finding a decent home in a good location may be difficult lol. But yeah, it's possible.
@@thalys5208 I’m currently 21, pay for my housing and schooling so debt is definitely in my shoes lol and i feel MOST people either have both of those payments or one of them to make. Fortunate parents is an outlying factor in my opinion since most people don’t have such.

I’m about to purchase a brand new home here for 170k and am putting down 20 percent. The only payment I’ll have is the house payment which I plan to pay off in 6 years.
Any advice for me, a 16 yr old, to be financially successful?
@@isalite spend less than you earn and invest the difference
@@isalite Sure, here are a few tips. I know people say that you should do a career that you enjoy but it has to be a balance. It has to be a career that you somewhat enjoy but that also pays well. Nursing is a great option as there is a high demand and you can get in with just a 2 year program. Do not spend extra money on going to a big university. Instead go to a community college for your basics. This will shave thousands off student loans. If you can live with parents, then do it as this will save money as well. Get credit cards at an early age to build up your credit but use a credit card as a debit card and only spend what you already have in your bank. This will build up your credit. Start investing a little bit of money in a Roth IRA. That bit of money at 16 will be worth a lot more at retirement.
@@isalite if you go to college, get a good major that actually makes money. STEM or medical, also you can do trades when you first get out of highschool. Don't rush into college if you don't know what you want to do. Don't buy depreciating assets or go into debt for them. If you save money first then your money can be making money for you and by the time you are 30 or 40 you'll be able to have a good quality of life without being broke like everyone else.
Good plan.
You got to love Dave's sarcastic humor.😀
Man what an awesome example he is and his parents are so generous; they raised him right too! Kudos.... keep it up buddy!!! I love your spirit of gratitude!
Don't know what to do With my money. Is not a bad place to be vs. I don't know what to do i have no money.
Get enough money together and start retirement.
No s*** Sherlock
These hosts have a great vibe together 👌
I really hope Chris takes over the show when Dave retires. Ramsey solutions won’t miss a beat.
Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, will ever beable to replace Papa Dave. They don't think on their feet as fast. They're all scripted and not as passionate that comes along with the experience.
Chris is good in his own right but just go listen to the Chris Hogan show and you'll soon realize he's no Dave.

@@romp23 I was just gonna write that.
Yeah Dave Ramsey is so smart. Poor people acting like they’re rich won’t talk about money because they don’t wanna think about their debt. I guess if money is a comfortable topic, then you’re doing alright
They talk about status merchandise. Lol
Parental guidance is a Blessing.
I know he was joking but I’m not.
Ramsey & Hogan 2024
Both know system to be made party candidate is corrupt and fed by same money to ensure legislation/interests at all levels esp at top are protected. Some things may get thru but majority is controlled by donors/big industry lobbyists incl big pharma, food, big tech, oil etc. Google/big tech/silicon valley closely tied to pentagon/CIA and donate to both sides. Global monetary banking system is part of it. I’m guessing neither Chris or Dave are willing to play the game with the sharks and make the deals they’d need to. Promises to voters from the front while making deals w/donors/lobbyists and other players behind closed doors. Follow the money.
Well at least that a good way to find out what’s truly going on in Dave’s private life that may disappoint you.
They’d get a lot of votes for sure!
Not anymore lol
this aged well lol
That is awesome that his parents helped him through college and set him up for success to get a good job.
I started my sons college fund in January with a good growth etf heavy in tech. Next 16 years will pay for itself from any contributions.
I see it as my responsibility to set up my kids for success before they graduate high school.
And here you have the results. 24 year olds calling in with good money problems
15% and you can’t go wrong. Even with the median salary you become a millionaire by retirement.
you're correct. but i'm so very afraid that we will now be considered "the Rich" even though we're just saving little by little over time, making sacrifices...trying to do the right thing.
Do you want to be a millionaire? If you only have $1,000,000, 4% is $40,000. You’ll need a lot more if you want to live better in retirement than before.
@@liamgerard8870 4% is if you want to live on that money and have it maintain it's value or grow over time. If you plan to live on it for 30/40 years you can use more than that. 40k/yr is 25 years even if you money doesn't generate any ROI, 5%/6% is more accurate for retirement, unless you want your kids to be able to live off your money after you pass away.
Ok Casey
@@welm98 well yeah but this is one of the ways to become a millionaire.

My dad fell for the credit lie.
He tells me it's best to get a credit score up to max.
He remortgages the house when he thinks the house value goes up so he can pull the value from the house to have "non-taxable income".
But, I said that has to be paid back.
He said it isn't right to live in a house you've paid off.
And that's when I knew my dad was financially stupid.
Just turned 23, I bought a home at 22. Have 2 cars, bought them at 18 and 19 attacked the loans and now they are paid off and worth combined $25,000. Got $5600 saved in bank $17500 in my 401k, $3500 in Roth and maybe another 3-4k amongst my other portfolios

He should do the maximum contribution percentage to get as much into his 401k before the end of the year.
I would not recommend a 401k, you have no idea how much taxes will get in the future 20,30,50 years from now. A Roth would definitely be a better question.
his voice is golden
my favourite part of every episode is when Dave hits the mute button on the caller
I’d vote for you Dave!
I am working towards saving an emergency fund of 5 years. After what we have been through this year, I’m not putting my trust on no economy anymore
Lol 5 years ? Is a bit too much but go ahead mate .
Look at what happened when people jumped out after the recession and what it’s at now. Your money works for you if you know how
5 years is too much maybe 1 year at least
My industry is not loyal. I could be without a job for 5 yrs. oil and gas
Mzans X ... then go to a different industry. Guys this isn’t rocket science. You gonna be out of work for 5 years to stay in the same industry you get what’s coming to you

Ramsey-Hogan 2024. 50 State Sweep. Make it happen!
Hey Dave one problem I have is, my parents fell into the same debt trap as everybody, and yet they never talked about it and still don’t know what there really doing. I just want to say there is hope for people whose parents don’t feel comfortable talking about money. Buy rich dad poor dad, goat of all books and only watch Dave Ramsey and its basically worth 4 years at college
Great for the masses
You become who you hang around with
i make 45k a year on paper 38k solid cash i have about 160k saved but in stocks and 30k saved in cash just cause i had parents who were horrible with cash... i still stress over cash cause i feel like i can lose it at any moment
At the end of the day remember it is up to you so don't always rely on someone to introduce you to money, God, or politics. I have done the searching myself. Many people including me at the age of 16 haven't had hardly any meals with their family to talk about anything.
but it is better to have a shortcut from the people who had already learned how to do it.. ofcourse i get your point each person has a different life and different experience but not falling down in the same mistake that they have already been in is a wise thing to do i think
I'm 27 making about 110k this year, I save most of my money right now. I have slightly under 100k invested (post tax account), I would like to hit 200k by 30 so that I'll have close to 2,000,000 by retirement age (60) even if I don't invest any additional money from 30-60. I know I invest more than is recommended, but honestly I don't really need to live in luxury right now.
I enjoy being able to say that I could buy most things, without actually having to do it. I also like working a lot, I have two jobs, as well as motivation towards starting my own tech startup.
Great job!!
Let’s start that tech startup baby
This kid is doing great.
That’s what I’m saying
This guy beat the game, now he's just doing the side quests lol
My top tip is don’t believe a word of this comment section, people with actual money don’t feel the need to brag…
7:13 " that must be overturned" lol
hahaha I know, that was so funny
Dave's Baby Steps will take the caller to a large store of wealth and EntreLeadership would provide the potential for it to be far more well before normal retirement age for most people. We followed similar steps late in our twenties and became multi-millionaires before we were fifty. Now we spend our time in ministry / charitable and entrepreneurial endeavors of our choice with no financial worries. The LORD is good!
I am 30, living with my mom, don't work and play games all day creating youtube content, still not yet sucessful. I hope one day in this year 2021 i will suceed
😂😂😂 the hair joke
Everyone I know who had their college paid for by their parents are doing above average. They have an advantage, Duh. These people would not be where they are without that but you all turn around and point fingers at people struggling to pay for their degree. Shameful. If more people had that gift the world would be a different place.
If vote for Ramsey and Hogan in 2024. Get in there and put Congress on rice and beans, beans and rice.
Wow I haven’t seen a video with Chris Hogan in it in a while. I thought they got rid of all of the videos with him in it.
I’m 29 just over 100K saved feel good about the future
But but but, he's supposed to move out at 18 and pave his own way as an adult and fend for himself and be living paycheck to paycheck like the rest of us 🙄. I dont see this crowd in this video 🤔
I mean, I did it. You can do it too. Doesn't matter the situation, matters your hustle.
@@robertrouillier6319 yea i agree. im not saying it can't be done, it's just much harder.
@@shaloon64 It's more worth it the harder it is, that makes us the lucky ones.
@@robertrouillier6319 I agree, my only issue is lots of people I know get stuck in a life of hardship and financial stress because of moving out early. If you can achieve your goals and are happy thats all that matters.
Not everyone is in your shoes which is why *gasp* not every video will apply to you. The lessons though do. There are a thousand videos for you to watch of Dave Ramsey of people in your shoes, but some like this might (hopefully) apply to you at some point in your future.
What's the common lessons though? Get on a written budget, spend less than you make and avoid debt. Easier said than done for sure but it is essential to strive for those attributes if you want to win and get ahead.
Trading in fact isn't gambling. You need to learn how to read price action and purchase stock whenever there's a lower risk and high profitability in play. For people that know trading understand, for the ones that don't, there's a thing called Expert Guidance. Consult an expert to guide you whilst you remain in total control of your accounts.
This is to educate people on UA-cam that are starting out that anything is possible. You will need to take major risks and invest TIME into whatever you may wanna do. Don't let "UA-cam Trolls" discourage you by showing everyone who is "successful" is either a scam, or from a rich family. People put their own insecurities on others so don't let them bring you down. Good luck to everyone trying to get ahead in life, wish you guys nothing but the best
I have always wanted to expand my business but I could not do that because the cash was not forth coming as I had planned. Getting referred to Maria Leda Goebe played a great role in that vision. Mrs. Maria is a great mentor and the best trader/Account manager on my list.

Who's this guest? What a voice!
Association brings upon assimilation.
It’s crazy that he has $40,000 saved
That’s what I’m saying! Good for him!!
U can too
Why is it crazy! :O it’s pretty common where i’m from!
Not that much for me, I plan on living with my parents for a while so I should have over 80k saved pretty soon
Its really not that hard when you don't waste your money on dumb depreciating assets like fancy cars. And I assume he's living with his parents, smart man.
Balled men! Talking about big money!
I don't get the title. The kid is 24 and has 40k and makes 50k. What do you mean "don't know what to do with all of my money"?? That's not that much money. Save for emergency. Save for retirement. Buy a home. That 40k doesn't go far.
Not saying he's in a bad place he's doing great. But I expected him to say he has 500k not 40 based on the title
Send it to my student loans. Done.
Working hard and paying off your own debt will help you in the long run be a better person.
Wouldn’t you think he would move the example amount 25 k to the money market account rather then the 15 only because you can write checks from a money market account where you could leave the 15 k for emergencies in the other account. If he was trying to buy a house he would be able to just write the check .
CH in the house!!!
i just turned 24 and i have 0 debt and 2 giraffes 1 hippopotamus 1 meerkat in the bank. life is good🤓
Ramsey Hogan 2024. Honestly, yes please
the average 54y/o cant put their hands on $1000?? is this serious?
Yes, multiple surveys conducted among adult americans revealed that around 58% of them have less than a $1000 in savings.
Yup. Crazy right. Something like 70% of Americans don’t have $1,000 cash to their name.
@@mkite715 nah
Where do we invest in mutual fund?
22 years old born 2002
72k in savings drive a 2022 Mazda 3 all paid off
Born into a single parent house hold. Never have parents who were able to pay for anything.
Never had help. Everything I have now is self made
So riddle me this, I am 24 I make 110k-150k/yr and my only debt is my house (130k) and no truck payment but my truck is old and unreliable. I have 30k I want to use to build a garage ideally. Should I build a garage or buy a new truck? Or use the money towards something more useful? Perhaps a rental property? What do I do?
I appreciate Chris for saying don't just have 1 conversation.
Is it safe to put an emergency fund in a high yield savings or CD account?
i do mine in a high yield savings and its great
Haha I love these two together 😂
If you understand the truth about the US (and most) political systems you’d know as both Chris and Dave do they can do far more good from their platform now then in a very corrupt money driven political system. Deals are made to powerful donors/lobbyists all the way up who feed both sides to ensure their interests are protected. Hopefully maybe one day this will start to change.
26, No degree, welding business, 40k in savings. Wish I was more responsible at a younger age but cars and girls distracted me
Don’t worry if you feel lost in your 20s and haven’t accomplished much as human studies show that most people don’t maturely really start their lives until they reach their 30s . My dad didn’t start making a six figure job or a bought a house until he was 39
Try to workout a lot or of join social clubs or do UA-cam content or something you love that will pay for your roof over your head and will distract from women . Remember the women will come to you and when you make the bank not when before you making bank
I'm 27 have a little over 50k saved i want to buy a house but I also want to buy something that can make me money like a business(idk what yet) is that smart or is it smarter to buy a house instead
Ever thought of a rental property? Maybe a duplex or something. Best of both worlds.
I'm 24 and have $155,000 from saving hard for the couple of years I've been working. Feeling similar to this guy, but unsure if I should knock off 50% of a house purchase or invest in other things (Already investing over 15% in a S&S ISA)
24 and $40k in savings while going through college? i’d like to know how he accumulated that much while being a full time student.
After watching this video, I am almost exactly like this guy. It's not hard to save... especially if you started working as early as in high school (I started working at age 17). If you get a fully paid used car and reduce your monthly expenses as much as possible, you can save that much money if you are in the same shoes as him. (With a fortunate parent and no debt). I am 23 making 54k a year (after college) and living with my parents. I plan to move soon as well. So, because I have no debt and I am fortunate enough to live with my parents. I can begin saving for a down payment. The only problem is I also live in Florida and boy we are in a hot market. Finding a decent home in a good location may be difficult lol. But yeah, it's possible.
