    It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

      For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.

      It's unfortunate most people don't have such information. I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $875k by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Doesn't matter if the economy is misbehaving; great wealth managers will always make returns.

    I lived in Orange County, CA about 2/3rds of my life. I moved out of CA in 1969 as a kid, moved back to CA in 1978, moved out of CA in 1990 to buy a house in Seattle, moved back to CA in 1999, bought a condo. Moved out of CA again in 2021 to buy a SFR in Arizona. Kids were out of the question- just too expensive & i wanted to retire early, which i did. I visit O.C often but am not planning on ever moving back there! I have lived in 5 states & CA is definitely a unique place.

    My husband and I same boat since Covid. Trying to find a home but new mortgage in cali would automatically be $2500 plus. We got into a house. Older needed things done like a new roof new bathroom Reno etc… bottom line we became house poor and got into something we couldn’t afford. Fast forward today. Luckily sold our house fairly quickly a month ago. Relocated to Texas for affordability and better policies for the future of our kids. Our home now is under $1600 a month. The relocation was a lot of work. Husband has same job and I am an online seller. Bottom line at some point you have to realize that the problem wasn’t the numbers it’s turning the game board so it works for you. God bless and goodluck.

    California has affordable places in just about any major area that you want to live you just have do the research and know the area. For the area in the video, if they just move about 20-30 minutes Northeast to Hesperia or Victorville, home prices drop dramatically. Some get really caught up in having to be in certain areas before thinking about the investment. Same as if you live in the San Fernando valley, about 20 to 30 minutes Northeast of San Fernando you're in much affordable territory with Palmdale & Lancaster. For the bay area, it's the Sacramento region. If you go to the metropolitan northern region of Sacramento, places like Yuba City/Marysville are super cheap within a 30-40 min. Of course financially it has to make sense to commute but for me the savings is definitely helping me. There's plenty of work right in the area where I live so I will be looking locally to transfer soon but absolutely enjoy my 30 minute commute to Roseville. What's crazy is in Roseville all the homes are averaging around $600,000+. All the homes in my area are on the small side around a little over a thousand square feet, generally two bedroom one bath but plenty of three bedroom 2 bath homes. All of them are in the mid to upper $300,000. My neighborhood most homes are around the upper $200,000 mark. New home construction just south of my area, all are around $400,000 (Linda, Ca). So it's possible if you stay away from the coast. Otherwise if you don't have to move anywhere, don't and wait for the market to work better in your favor with interest rates. I bought my house in 2021 at $245,000. It's gone up to about $305,000 today. You know that you will be in the right market when your budget tells you so.

      Smart take, I did virtually the same thing but on the other side of the country. I was living in D.C, started working 3 days a week at home and moved 1.5hrs out of the city. Homes are half the price, and everything else like food, services, taxes, you name it is significantly cheaper. Making that commute sucks, but I think it worth doing twice a week for the savings.

    • @vj5225
      @vj5225 11 місяців тому

      @@ryanbon2414 I was working from home to originally too, but my job changed and required me to come in to work. Luckily since I bought at a time with interest rates being so low, I can afford the commute and it is worth the comfort of being a homeowner and having a decent neighborhood along with it. Everything is cheaper here including gas. We have most things the city has except an airport and high-level shopping but if I'm craving it I just drive about 30 to 40 min. It's not as big of a deal as some people make it. I definitely don't regret my choice but it should be one that financially makes sense for you. Congrats on your home purchase and just remember over time, if things change you can always use the equity as a huge down towards your next home. Honestly I'm quite satisfied so I think I'm going to stay put until it's paid off. I will use it as an investment property most likely and find a new retirement home later.

    I live in So-Cal too and west of where the couple is searching, in between Orange County and LA County. My wife and I make considerably less than they do combined, 12k a month.
    I know for a FACT I wont be able to buy a home in this current market using conventional means, AKA 20% down and a mortgage. We have a 20% down but it doesnt make a dent on the monthly mortgage. I've been investing heavily into traditional equities and BTC (I know, stfu, BTC WILL OUTPERFORM EVERYTHING AND HAS OUTPERFORMED EVERYTHING) starting in 2017 and I will be buying a home ALL CASH in the coming years.

The only houses that are on the market for more than a few weeks are ones that need so much hidden repairs that it would be cheaper to just buy a more expensive home. Also any house that is a fixer when you call the realtor they say if you aren't paying in cash I don't want to speak with you. I had 60% down payment and they still weren't interested.

    As someone who lives in CA, they can afford an entry level single family home. Javi’s 30% is overly conservative - sure, it would be great to adhere to it, but in costal markets where incomes are higher, many people are fine going higher than this. Analyses that don’t realize that fixed costs decline as a percentage of income are overly simplistic.
