    Nope. Paying 24% because you don’t want to loose a 10-12% return on your investment is completely crazy to me. You’re paying yourself back 5%, and saving 14% interest which is a gain of 17%.

      Don’t forget the loss from using post tax dollars to pay it back, which get taxed again when you eventually withdraw.

    I unequivocally disagree. This really depends on how old someone is and how much debt. Being buried in debt and not making any headway year after year. Taking out a 401k loan or cashing out CAN be a way out. It's not for everyone though. I did it in my 30s and don't regret it. Sometimes the cycle of debt has to be broken first. It depends on a person's mindset.

      I sort of agree. In the 20s and 30s to just take a small loan under 10 k is ok to do in my opinion. But I'm broke and trying to get through like I assume the rest of us watching the content so maybe don't listen to me 😂😂😂

    I paid off all of my credit cards with a 401k loan several years ago. I then canceled all the cards and paid my loan back over 4 years. I’m so glad I did it. No more credit card debt and no 401k loan. Better to lose 5-7 percent than pay 25 percent to a credit card company.

    I think the point is really that when some people take out loans against the 401k, they start being frivolous. If you can control yourself and be smart, 401k loan can pick you up out of really sticky situations. But if you haven’t even taken the first baby steps then don’t even think about it.

    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

      Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

    51k / year, and he thinks they will pay it back in 1 year?! That's 3.5k / month take home. Let's assume 1k for home+tax+insurance. (Obviously incredibly generous). That's 2.5k for all other living expenses and he thinks they can put ~800/month on a CC? Is it just me or does that seem like bad math?
