Hey Roy, your story is very inspiring. I saw the original video of your background and your student journey then employee. I never had debt of my life (French education and 31 years old). Do you have books recommandations about investment and finances. I am saving aggressively but I need some tips to start investing in 2021. I wish you all the best Roy. Chloé
I've always loved Suze's advice about how partners should divide their expenses. I don't know why so many people still do 50/50 when they're not earning the same income.
Me too! For some reason when I was in my early 20’s I was hooked on this notion that it should be a 50/50 split, even when my bf was on 75K and I was on 25K! It think it was to do with the fact I still felt we’d be using the house the same way but from Suze’s advice I see this completely differently these days. It’s just not viable for some couples.
Definitely agree. I was splitting the bills 50/50 with my ex who made 6x what I was when I was school (had been together for 7yrs before I went back to school) then he had the audacity to get mad at me for not going on as many adventures with him. Boy, I'm working 30hrs a week to pay my bills while doing full time classes with a 9.0 average, I don't have the energy or money to spend time with you. If you want your relationships to last, split proportional to income
Suze Orman is telling the truth about eating out. I think I spent around $5K+ in 2019 but i'm at a fraction of that for 2020. It really puts things into perspective:)
Best episode yet!! Truly beautiful to see how it went full circle from Roy’s family admiring Suze, to Suze giving him kudos and admiring him and his success here 😊
It's so interesting how European student loan debt is so different from American student loan debt. Ours doesn't affect our credit score and is encouraged to pay minimum payments AND it is cancelled after 30 years. No stress to pay it off.
@@roypatterson6884 can you reach back out to CNBC make it and see if they are interested? I don’t see why they would be opposed to it. Btw, I checked out your channel but saw you had no videos uploaded. If you started posting I’d definitely watch! I love your personality!
This video made my day!!! I’m a huge Suze Orman fan, been watching her since my first job in high school as an IHOP waitress. Now I’m a big Roy fan! Thanks for bringing something positive to the feed.
Omg I’m so happy to see Suze Orman! I grew up watching her too and was so sad when the show stopped! Love her enthusiasm about money and her philosophies! Great video! ❤️❤️
I too watched Suze O every Saturday at 9p she motivated me in so many ways. I paid my home off completely and became F.I.R.E. I was kinda expecting her to say "You Have Been Approved" at the end:-) Great job Roy keep it up!
For the housing part, as a single, I can’t make my housing so low (less than $1000) unless I am willing to have roommates. It is hard for someone at his/her 30s to live with roommates as well. So the housing is limited by one’s relationship status. Other than the housing, lowering other costs is doable.

The advance directive is a written document that contains your wishes as to how you want to be medically treated. It makes sure your wishes are carried out if you're unable to communicate with a doctor. A power of attorney is someone you have appointed to handle your finances and healthcare in the event you're not able to. Like when a parent gets to the point when they can no longer take care of their finances, or make decisions regarding their healthcare, or care for themselves. Usually a son or daughter will become the PoA. A living revocable trust is a document that indicates how your assets will be divided when you die.
What if you don't know how to trade any of these? I mean I see your point. Some people have the money and are willing to invest. But the problem is where to
He also makes bank because the company he is working for is literally robbing Americans left and right. You don't need to rob a bank when you could just own an insurance company.
I know your comment is 2 years old, but Cigna Health provides the absolute best health care insurance in the U.S. When I worked for a very prestigious organization, I was covered by Cigna and the insurance premiums were low (thanks to my employer) and the coverage was exceptional.
Adults in my life: “student loan debt is good debt.” Suze: “student loan debt is dangerous debt.” Now I understand why I’m behind financially 🤦🏾♀️ Suze where were you when I was selecting a college? Time to grow from my mistakes and make a comeback 😉
I can’t believe she’s criticizing him for buying an investment property. He’s putting $1,900/mo into liquid savings-so yes, he can manage the payments. The bigger problem is that he’s not maxing out his retirement contributions, to both the Roth IRA and the 401(k).
She’s being practical because while he’s set now, Investment properties are no joke and expenses can quickly creep in. Tenets can get out of pocket & cause damage, repairs & maintenance of property can get ridiculous, landlord-tenant laws vary per state and it can get crazy expensive if you need to go to court, on top of that lawyers are expensive too, planning for any renovations prior and buffer just in case.
@@KBWeeds Yeah… hence the liquid savings. That’s my point. He’s not just buying a property and crossing his fingers that it will be sunshine and rainbows-he’s stashing money in case things go sideways
It's easy... everyone who is investing, invests in low cost index funds that track the S&P 500, total stock market, etc. Read the Simple Path to Wealth, by J.L. Collins. He explains it all. Also, subscribe to Graham Stephan.
I've always wanted to invest in forex/stock trading, after a few trials I realized that trading without a good mentor and guidance is a waste of time and money.
The market is broad enough so market can be so complicated especially as a beginner, i saw a post here by one Michael Logan guy about 2weeks ago recommending Andy Calistoga as the best trader, in summary I'm so glad i did, his method have proved most lucrative, i encourage traders out there to get in connection with Mr Andy Calistoga for trade help.
Good things don't always come our way so easily. Finding Mr Andy Calistoga wasn’t easy for me because I was scammed twice though I have been able to recover that. thanks to Mr Andy for proving to be different.
wait wait...@suze why did you mention life insurance? He doesn't have kids, why would he need life insurance - only the 4 important documents that you mentioned.
I think everyone should have life insurance. However to answer your question, his parents or relatives may have some dependence on him. Not just his future kids
My husband is a manager and makes x2 what I make. We pool our money in one 'pot' and pay our expenses, savings from there. No proportioning according to each salary since we're a team.. Works for us. We also each get a little bit of spending money per month.
@@roypatterson6884 nice that’s awesome!! Were you worried about hitting the Roth IRA phase out with your new income increase? Traditional 401K’s always help with MAGI! You’re doing a great job
That was exactly it, I was concerned that I may have to do a backdoor Roth, but you’re right my 401K contribution will mitigate my income threshold. Thanks for the encouragement!
@@roypatterson6884 I’m sure you’ll start having to do the backdoor soon anyways! Maybe even by next year?? You seem like someone that would enjoy the FIRE community
Depends on what you cook, ingredients used, where you shop, and how you shop. If you don't look for sales/plan ahead and just purchase items things at regular price it can add up,
Well, he is saving half of his paycheck and that’s definitely something to be proud about. He chose not to have any children at that point, because it’s a big expense and he chose to get serious and pay down his student loans. No one told others to rack up lots of debt and have children. He’s doing incredible and he’s made conscious decisions to be able to save that amount.
He just spent 4 years paying off $55k of student loans... he sure didn't start out ahead in that regard, he prioritized it and paid a big chunk of his income, for several years, to get them paid off
This is insane! I can’t believe Suze did this ! Thank you so much 😊
All the best
