      As much as I initially enjoyed Caleb financial audits, not being rude, but it got old fast. Why? Because all he (Caleb) does is find people who don’t really have any real income and people who are not looking to really become responsible for their finances and make change in their behaviors so that gets old fast. This gentleman makes six figures so he has a huge shovel to dig out of his debt. It looks like this channel does a lot more vetting as well which Caleb sucks at😮🤷🏾‍♀️ sorry not sorry!

    Its very easy for people with a high income to be bad with money. That's because the high income hides all of the problems. Its when that income gets cut that you find out if there was ever a budget or a plan.
    Income from a job is good, but it doesn't provide the same financial security as income from your own investments. Don't get too comfortable and think your job income can't go away.

    I know you get people comparing you to other finance UA-camrs; but I really appreciate your calm, measured, and respectful approaches to your guests. It's really quite refreshing and soothing. It's nice to listen to finance UA-camrs without having too much of a sensationalist approach. You let your guest do the talking, and it speaks volumes to you understanding their situations better and approaching them with empathy. I feel like I'm watching a real conversation with a stranger vs taking their situation as entertainment value.
    Thank you.

    How Romain says "Fluctuates" @21:35 is *so* very very awesome, and *so* very very French... I love how his pronunciation of American English "Flooooktuates." 😂. I hope he never changes... That aside, I also love how he interviews people in different financial positions. It's very diverse, and that format speaks to a very broad audience. This channel is clearly not simply for entertainment, as some finance channels have become. Romain's style is so buttery smooth, and the videos are so exceptionally edited and formatted that it's hard not to binge watch a bunch of episodes.

    I love the calm, informative approach to these audits. I am currently working towards having a 1 month emergency fund. We have no debt aside from our mortgage. Dual income (1 FT and 1 PT income) with 2 small children. Our needs are so high, and trying to get them down is really difficult. Housing for us ends up at nearly 38% of our income. We would never be able to buy in this market again, though, so just trying to get our utilities and other costs down as possible.

    Car loan payment plus registration plus insurance plus maintenance plus fuel plus parking could add up to a lot more than $663/month. Plus there are no worries about road rage, theft, vandalism, and finding parking.
    In the interest of transparency: when we still drove, we bought good used vehicles for cash and drove them till they cost too much in maintenance and repairs. We've been car-free for five years and use public transportation. It costs less than it cost to own a bought-for-cash car.

    I really like this channel and Romain. Compared to another mainstream financial situation reviewer (who I am not going to name), Romaine's content is alot more practical and relatable. It appears as if Romaine actually wants to put out quality content rather than just fish for clicks, unlike a certain other individual. I have seen some similar content out there by other UA-camrs, but it seems they lack the integrity to respect their viewers intelligence. Though maybe I'm being too harsh on Romain's competitors' fans...who am I to judge someone who loves watching trashy reality tv type garbage. I really hope you keep emphasizing quality over clicks and keep producing content like this Romain. Your growth may not be as fast, but it will be consistent.

    Unemployment in Nigeria is 75% and your cousin in Nigeria decides to father two children in that situation is not being responsible. And now his cousin in America is sending money to support him and his family, maybe for a specific period of time I would do that and that it. Regardless of any cultural and/or family expectations. Being responsible, sensible, and smart about one's situations

Make them accountable and make them explain how they are using it. They can build a castle with your money there while you re suffering yourself.

    So interesting to me that educated people don’t often understand basic finance.
    Having and investment account at RH with 10k balance that on avg yields maybe 8% apy , depending on assets while having a credit card balance of 12k with 18-25% apy is kinda a no brainer to me. Not to mention the private loan.
    Pay off the credit card with the investment account then rebuild investment account. IMO…..
    Investing in stocks/ crypto definitely should be done but after debts are paid…. As they often out weigh gains. Variables as always…..
    Question for Romain, I know you’re against 401k withdrawals for obvious reason, are you against 401k loans for some larger purchases like car or house, as the loan is repayed back to the borrower with interest as well….
    P:S made comment prior to listening to very end and his suggestion pointing out investing vs debt %….

    • @itsRomainFaure
      @itsRomainFaure  5 місяців тому

      Thank you for your comment, I personally recommend not touching 401K under any circumstances except for massive emergency. Why you may ask, given that you pay your own interest? Well you are liable for that debt, and you don’t know what could happen defaulting in your own payments then it can quickly go downhill from there.

      Rude. That is not how that works. I had my university paid by my parents and am saving for my own children but know many loving, thoughtful parents who truly believe it’s more important for their children to figure out how to cover those costs themselves as adults, sometimes with quite a safety net of their parents planning financial gifts later in life, like an inheritance. This can be because of the “skin in the game” idea mentioned above or because the parents believe that the best gift they can give is to ensure that they themselves will not need any financial help from their children as they age. Again, it may not be the approach I plan but to tell someone their parents don’t care for them is ridiculous. My husband needed to take student loans, and we had no problem at all taking care of those in our 20s. His education was worth every penny of interest because he made a good educational choice just like this guest did by getting a computer engineering degree at GA Tech.

    All those food delivery really add up because of the tips. I would suggest try to avoid places where you have to tip. That will save you quite a bit. Buy a car but the least expensive that is still good. And I think that 1,000 in expenses sending overseas is way too much. Like you are born here, why are you sending to a cousin in Nigeria, or if you really really want to be the "good person" send but less, but I don't think sending to a cousin is the way to go. Maybe a sibling and even then. I would have loved to hear who else he's sending money to. I feel they're taking advantage of him.

From what I learned like many in my age group is there a lot of so called advisers or managers was theu were trying to sell you something so ghey coukd profit on it, and two the focus on one thing back to selling you something. Romain is excelent. He deserves all the likes and subscribers he can get, hes probably saving lives. If you kmow how so many honest hard working peoples lives were ruined because of scamers. It like saying here take my money to lose it. The third, get rich quick scams plus get out of depts just pay them adding to your debt when you see you can do yourself. To be careful who you listen to. He gives you the fishing pole nit sell you a fish no pun to fisherman literally but taking comtrol , a goal and incoragement.
