Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money. A trader made over $350k in this recession influenced market
Stocks are pretty unstable at the moment, but if you do the right math, you should be just fine. Bloomberg and other finance media have been recording cases of folks gaining over 250k just in a matter of weeks/couple months, so I think there are alot of wealth transfer in this downtime if you know where to look.
The best course of action if you lack market knowledge is to ask a consultant or investing coach for guidance or assistance. Speaking with a consultant helped me stay afloat in the market and grow my portfolio to about 65% since January, even though I know it sounds obvious or generic.

I am going to look her up, I have about $81k i want to start with, might be small but it's better than nothing though. Since the 08 crash is playing out again.
With the ongoing effects of high inflation, lower forecasted stock market returns, and stagnant wages, achieving a secure early retirement could be more challenging than ever before.
Such considerations can certainly have a role when I think about whether I ought to buy into a share. But I never purchase purely on that basis, i always have to seek the advice of my financial-pianner who has helped me gain $985k in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth
@@sattler96 Benevolence, this reference seems valid.. Just inputted her full name on my browser and found her site without sweat, 20 years of experience is certainly striking! very much appreciate it
my career was bookended by 2 influential financial books. The Millionaire Next Door which became aspirational and reading The Simple Path to Wealth made me realize I had enough FU money and gave me the courage to retire early. i read the book in December and decided to retire in July the next year. i don't think i could have done 50% of gross as savings which is what he was advocating though. i also had a lot of individual stock exposure for more than a decade before i read the book which i will whittle down but all of my retirement money is in index funds. the trinity tables was reassuring to me.
@@method341 i did 25-35% of gross once i started my real job and 40-45% 2 yrs before retirement. main thing was paying myself first so i got used to living below our means.
Nobody can suddenly become prosperous financially. Although they did the background work, we mostly see the ultimate product. Fear is a harmful factor that prevents us from making the courageous decisions we need to make in order to achieve our goals. You have to deal with things like inflation, the recession, Fed policies, and more. In just a few months, I was able to add $289k to my portfolio.
@Brilliantrans I have no advisor whatsoever, and this recent decline, which I believe was brought on by inflation brought on by war, among many other causes, really hurt my portfolio. Who would you advise that I reach out to in situations like this?
@Brilliantrans Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
Added this book to my must-read books list. I think the biggest pitfall most people fall victim to when it comes to personal finance is controlling the lifestyle and normalizing debt, which the book covers. I think this is especially pertinent to younger generations, who are using services like Klarna or PayPal to finance their trips or even meals! The social media generation makes living within one's mean that much harder with the FOMO culture.
All great points, and they align well to John Bogle's own advice - the "father" of the index fund. Regarding which total market and total bond funds to use, Vanguard is great - but I'd actually opt for VTI and BND instead, as these are the ETF equivalents. ETFs can be bought and sold intra-day, which gives them a slightly better edge and control element. Moreover, I believe they're slightly more tax efficient. Again, all great points - building wealth is a simple formula - the discipline to stick with it, not pawn it off on someone else, and live these simple rules daily is what matters in the long run.
Just finished reading Rich Dad Poor Dad, Little Book of Common Sense Investing, Millionaire Next Door, and Psychology of Money. Going to read this one next!
I’m on this same path! Was common sense investing worth it? I just finished rich dad poor dad and already purchased millionaire next door for my next read which I’m starting today
@@BlueCollar89 My favourite so far is Psychology of Money. Common sense investing is alright, but if you are already investing in index funds, it's not a big loss to skip it
Greetings Ta! Fantastic nuggets of financial wisdom and action to take today! I completely love your channel's content --you knock every video out of the park--thank you! I have digested the book, but your take on it --nailed it!
I"m a life long learner, follower of JL Collins and a successful investor. I stumbled on your vid and have to say that I found your comments insightful and spot on. Tae. I hope your comments encourge others who have not already, to read the book. I"m going to explore more of your content.
VTTSX has bonds too and gets more conservative over time. It has grown almost 10% in the last 10 years. I've chosen to ride with this fund for the next 40 years :)
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.
@kingbush9328 Am looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you think I should be buying?
Do you have a video on dividend investing? That would be super helpful. Trying to understand a strategy to use dividends in my Roth combined with a 401k to minimize taxes in retirement
Agreed. I wonder why added the int'l fund to the two recommended by JL Collins is a good idea? Thanks for all you do. I'm a Vanguard/Tortoise investor.
Thanks for all your amazing content Tae. I got the audio book and listened to it and it has changed my life. I would recommend as a follow up to this book RETIRE BEFORE MOM AND DAD by Rob Berger. He uses numbers to give concrete examples of how to mathematically evaluate your financial performance. @Tae. Would be nice to see your summary if that book. Cheers.
Thank you. Subscribed. That was incredibly presented. Well organized and hit all the important points. Honestly just astoundingly professional and informative. Thank you very much.
The most fascinating thing about this video is your hair. It's so full and looks amazing. I think we have the same age, but my hair is very thin....What is your secret??
The monk story - If you could learn to live on rice and beans you wouldn't need to cater to the king. WOW. One of the most enlightening things I've heard in some time. Love your channel.
I’ve been splitting my investments between fidelity 500 and total market to try and average the gains and losses. Is this a good idea? I’ve also thrown in some large cap growth. Thoughts?
Your summary of JL Collins' The Simple Path to Wealth here was superb, Tae. That book, to borrow from poet Robert Frost, is the financial road not taken. As compared here to the brightly lit superhighway that is consumerism, debt, and a needlessly complex investment industry, the simple path, with its proven, character-building, and easily learned precepts, is a quiet walk in the woods. And those who follow its teachings and find the financial freedom Collins and you speak of can, as Frost wrote, be like the wanderer in the poem : " I took the one less travelled by/And that has made all the difference."
Yeah or make UA-cam videos about the same. Instead of saying sell stuff s you can make money he saids to "invest." To be fair if people are busy selling and creating who would watch his videos?
Not really, authors get very little of the retail price of a book. Maybe if it's best selling, bit you will be one of the lucky ones. It's unlikely you will plan or predict whether or not you will be a best-seller
Sir I am a great fan of the leaders at Vanguard, have read the book you speak of as well as "Common Sense Investing" by John Bogle the founder of the Vanguard Group. They all preach simple investment principles, yet all the UA-cam crowd is constantly posting video's proclaiming all the different ways to play the market. So which is it? Simple tactics or random investing?
Open an account at Vanguard, Fidelity or Schwab - any of those brokerage houses (they act like banks - its where you keep your $$) and from there, buy the VTSAX.
I'm a fan of Ramsey. He's not excellent at investment advice - I think of that as the "college" level of finance. Ramsey is more the "elementary school" level - emergency funds, pay off debt, stay out of debt, etc. These are essential skills everyone needs before 'graduating' on to investing strategies.
@@bethbock6700 Yes well stated Mr. Ramsey focus is on day to day behavior to avoid all the impulsive financial landmines out in the world...IE. credit card debt..wasteful car loans...eating out all the time and owning your reality if your broke do something about it.

The simple path to understanding the simple path to wealth.
Where would we be without Mike? 😅

It needs much more conviction than a UA-cam comment for a person being disciplined for multiple decades. That's where the book comes in
