    Hi everyone! 👋 thanks to those who voted in my poll - this was the most highly requested topic! How much are you saving or want to save??

      Hi Gabrielle! Just subscribed to your great channel thank you for the invaluable information. I gave a question when you take a capital loss on your crypto by selling it to balance your taxes how fast can you buy it back? There is a loophole in the states where they can buy back right away after selling for a loss unlike a stock. Would you know if Canada is the same? Thank you!!!

    Thanks for sharing your budget, Gabrielle.
    That's very considerate of you to help your parents with an allowance. :)
    I make about $80K a year and used to save 50% of my income.
    But then I moved into a bigger house and now can only save 20%. Lifestyle inflation is real, lol.

    Thanks for sharing Gabrielle. I am also a Tax CPA professional and luckily stumbled on your channel. I love Personal Finance and have always wondered how the heck I was going to not go over 30% to allocate for living expenses. I am currently paying off high-interest debt still and also planning to save for a downpayment for a mortgage down the road. Your tip on categorizing the principal payment portion part of the monthly mortgage payment to savings makes so much sense and if I do that, not going past the 30% for the living expenses excluding the principal payments is so much more doable. Thanks for sharing!

    You consider your mortgage principal payments as savings? 28% of your savings is mortgage principle? 🤔. I do get what you mean but it also skews the numbers a little bit. Most people with a mortgage don’t include the principle payments as savings though payments do increase your net worth over time. Not including mortgage principle in your housing costs also skews your housing costs down. I dunno, just a bit confusing 💕

    Hi Gabrielle, was wondering if you were to include the full payment of your mortgage pmt (P+I) what would your 'sensitized' savings rate be at that point? (Assuming your sister moved out too)

    Love this video! It's my first one. You are articulate, clear, thoughtful in your presentation. I've heard of investing in yourself, but not considering it as savings before. Very good idea! I never considered my principal mortgage payment as savings, but you're right about that too. Do you have a guideline per person in household to budget for? Is that the right way to look at expenses? I feel like my monthly utilities and grocery bills are out of control. You were absolutely right about mentioning subscriptions. People tend to "pooh-pooh" those because they're not a big bill each month/year. I will absolutely check out your other videos - you've got it all! Canadian Money Smarts Girl Power Planning for the Future! How much should we be saving each month? What's the goal with all these increases for families?

    Can I ask if starting a youtube channel has conflicts with your firms independence policy?
    I've heard of firms not liking employees essentially taking up a 2nd job, and that they ask for your tax return once you reach manager?

    hi sis, keep it up. GOD bless u. I am flabbergasted, observing your frugality. I never exceed 35percent of savings, after considering my mortgage. Please don't mind, it is shameful, I know. I only send 10percent of income to my parents. Please stay safe and give my respects to ur sister and beloved parents.

    There are other ways to increase your net worth over time. For example, use the lower tax brackets to creat more book value in your investments each year. i.e. sell investments at the lowest tax bracket and then reinvest. This will greatly increase your non-taxable (book) values and future withdrawals will be at a much lower tax braket (think retirement esp).

    • @MariamMariam-ue7vz
      @MariamMariam-ue7vz 4 місяці тому

      Can you explain a bit more about this strategy? I don’t understand. How can you sell at lowest bracket if you’re not earning at lowest bracket?

    Don’t cheat yourself thinking the mortgage principal is “savings.” It’s possible to get LESS than what you put in due to market.

    Saving 50% of income enables retirement in 17 years, while a 30% increase to 80% slashes the timeline to just 5 years, showcasing the non-linear nature of financial independence.
