    I didn't become financially independent till I was in my mid 40s after having a major financial setback during the covid , Thank God i'm now on my feet . In addition to buying my second house, I'm also making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future!

      Wow, interesting indeed! Currently I'm in need of investment ideas or tips. Earlier this year I hesitated and failed to take any action until now. However, I'm determined to try some new as I am very open to various investment ideas . I want to be retired in my forties or fifties. I really wish I can achieve what you have achieved and I believe it will happen

      Generally, investing requires higher knowledge. For this reason, it's important to have a solid support structure to guide you through especially in asset picking. I operate with (ALEX MARTIN TARLOR) an investment specialist who partners with a licensed wealth management firm. For the record, his experience has been the best for my finance

    I am so over the “100 envelope challenge save $5000 in three months” challenge popular on social media right now.
    Reality is that most people fail those unrealistic savings challenges b/c they don’t factor in their own lifestyle/budget/living expenses

    I saved that in 1998 working in a restaurant 10-12 hour shifts five days a week. I was twenty years old. I had a roommate and my part of the rent was $300 a month. No other bills to pay but food to buy. Same city, same job, same place to live would allow me to save $10k a year, but now it's not a lot of money.

    I messed up bad when I was around 18. Didn’t know anything and maxed out credit cards and took out loans and was real dumb got to the point where my paychecks were not enough to even cover my bills each month so I was choosing which ones to pay and skipping others every month. Eventually I got to the point I was making good money but still paying way too many bills and was having a hard time saving. What I personally did to get me out of the hole was create a savings account through a seperate bank than my checking. Then made a very complex budget and lived off cheap food and cheap clothes for almost 2 years……now I’m comfortably able to save 2-3k each month. If anyone young is in here I’d definitely recommend saving as much as you can and not spend money on luxuries and wants without saving for them first.

My plan right now is to rebuild my emergency fund. My goal is to start working towards a $10k emergency fund, while paying off that vehicle I purchased. Also, congrats on hitting 60k subscribers.

    The work you do is so important in this economic climate. I'm blessed to have a great income at a young age, but I found your point about setting a realistic and consistent monthly contribution really helpful. I fall into the trap of telling myself to save as much as possible, and then failure to do so because of unexpected circumstances creates a frustrating and demotivating experience. It feels a lot better to set a bare minimum value that I am happy with, and just pat myself on the back when I'm able to contribute more. Really changes the psychological experience of saving.

    Total bull, I saved 50 grand by the age of 20 delivering pizzas but again the kicker is that by living at home you have no expenses. All I had was a $75 computer payment and a $30 phone bill as I recall it. The occasional repair on the car was a business expense.
    300 dollars saved every month is a lot of money on a consistent basis when you have bills to pay.
