    Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

      Certainly not, as I've diligently monitored the progress of my portfolio and have observed a remarkable growth of $482,000 in just the past two quarters. This journey has enlightened me about the strategies that skilled traders employ to achieve substantial profits even in seemingly volatile markets. Undoubtedly, it's been a bold and highly rewarding decision I made relatively recently.

      Strategic investments are crucial. My ideal investment is a varied portfolio of stocks, bonds, and ETFs. It provides an excellent long-term return and has performed admirably thus far, but I needed to diversify my portfolio at some point, so I approached a coach who devised a system that aligned with my goals; so far, I've made a whopping $580k, and scaling my portfolio to a million by the end of the year does not appear too far-fetched to me.

    At 30 years of age I was married to my soul mate, had 2 kids, a stable job that I loved and a big house. Add to that a couple of dogs and 6 horses, and I had a negative net worth. I didn't know it at the time because of all the stress, but those were the best years of my life.
    At 47 my wife had died. At 48 both my kids were grown and moved out. At 57 I became a millionaire.
    My net worth increases by about $100,000 per year solely through my investment growth. At 59 my net worth is $1.2 million. With no inherentance and retired.
    I have no money problems, and it has been a fun ride, but I'd give it all up for the life I had at age 30 again.

    It’s not a race against other people but it is a race against yourself. Large amounts of money are much more valuable when you’re younger than when you’re older. You can have more fun with the money when you’re younger, you can see larger returns from the money when you’re younger, and the money just means more when you’re younger.

Then 12/31/2021 it was at a record high of $1,309,000.00 even though I left that job and stop contributing around August 2019 to that 401k account.....about 10 years later .

Compounding is al good but the dip in the market of 2022 wiped out tens of thousands of my fund growth that hasn’t really recovered. My new adviser is now more invested into US stocks which will hopefully help in future. Ive got around $750k invested, which is only as high as it is, mainly due to having a very high income for the past 4 years to be able to invest a lot.

    Let's assume you graduate college at 22 you would have to invest $8k per month to be a millionaire by 30. Millionaire by 40 means saving $2,100 per month since 22 years old (all assuming 8% rate of return and that you do not own anything else like a house). 22-45 saving $1,300 per month you will be a millionaire. 22-49 saving $875 per month you will be a millionaire (might be doable). It's not easy and buying new cars every few years will make it harder. I'm 38 and should be a millionaire by 41 or 42.

      Having a financial advisor can really make a big difference, especially in a market like this. Stocks are a bit shaky at the moment, but with proper analysis, you should be okay. I've seen stories of people making over $250k in just weeks or months, so there's definitely wealth transfer happening if you know where to look.

    As far as timetables go, all you can do is all you can do. If you are investing the maximum that you can in appropriate investments, you are going full speed ahead in the correct direction. Since there is nothing more that you can do, everything else is outside of your "Circle of Influence," so you should not worry about it.

    True, you dont need to be, but it really improved my lifestyle as a millionaire. I became a millionaire when I turned 22, and have been able to make numerous investments to further improve my wealth. I now go on 2-month long holidays every year (except during COVID) with my boyfriend.

    Great video. Getting worked up about always saving and making more is not good for people. Definitely a balance.

    The problem is that million dollar is not enough to raise the family 😢

      Why is that a problem? Having a million at 30 is an amazing start. It doesn't mean you can quit working and spend the next 60 years living comfortably while raising a family.

    This is false. You have to achieve this by 40 as a guy because you have to maximize your sexual market value by 40, your peak year.
