Also I am super loving ALL your book recpmmendations!! When I arrive there in Nov to spend the winter I will have a stack of good reads for the beach thanks to you!!
This video is super interesting! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and insights on how to improve your future!! I just shared your video with my 25 year old son Esteban and I am sure he will appreciate all your advice! Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your day! Hi Ana 😊❤☀️
Thanks Adriana, all the best to you and Esteban and thanks for sharing with him! I hope he finds some value there and something truly life-changing! Ana says hi back! Salud 🍻 🇲🇽😎🏝️❤️
This is great information. I'm heading to Playa Del Carmen to save on the cost of living and to think about investing, thanks to your videos. Also, I am happy to see that Anna is feeling better.
So cool to hear that!! Playa is definitely a great spot to live your best life but also save on rent and cost of living for sure! Thanks for watching and many thanks for the good vibes for Ana!! 🍻🇲🇽❤️🏝️😎
thanks rope monster. from Toronto. In Playacar on vacation now. Your vids on playa are great info. (i,m 49 now, retired at 40. your financial advice is what I did also since College). More young people need to hear your advice because it is correct and it works). Muchos Gracias Amigo!
Hola Ivan!! Thanks for the great feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying Playacar… such a beautiful area! How are the beaches and water in the area looking as of now? It’s definitely my hope that the info on financial freedom reaches as many young people as possible! Congrats on retiring so young, my friend!! Enjoy to the fullest, Salud 🍻 🇲🇽🏝️📈😎
Hey, beaches here are surprisingly blue and little to no sargassum. We are in Riu resorts area. shallow sandbars to knees far out in the water. It is as nice as 10 yrs ago (last time.here). Pleasant surprise! Lets hope Beryl doesnt ruin it.! (Keep.up the good and important work. Young people dont know how, with a bit of discipline, they can have a good life. (Your vids have the power of changing lives, muchos respect buddy!)
You’re the best! My son is going into his senior year of high school. This video mimics a the conversation my wife and I have had over the past year. My wife and I are seriously considering him learning a trade and saving. Unfortunately my extended family has alway been hell bent on education. I don’t want him entering the workforce carrying that debt. My wife and I didn’t pay off our student debt until we were in our 30s. Very informative! Thank you! How is Renzo? Can’t wait for a slice next summer. We plan to grab quesadillas too. We haven’t been to Playa since 2019. We have the itch. Question - Is Romeo’s Pizza still open. I think it was on calle 4 between 10 and 15. If not 4 it was calle 2 or 6. They had a real good pie.
Thanks Patrick for sharing that!! Sounds like our extended families are very similar regarding education.. that social pressure and “shaming” is very real and can be hard on a young man for sure. But with that being said, my brother went the route of learning a trade and saving and has done incredibly well. He’s a foreman electrician in his 30’s and well on his way to financial freedom. I wish your son all the best! Funny you mention Renzo, I just saw him yesterday at Volleyball. He always seems to be in good spirits and full of life! I’m sure he’d be happy to see you guys back and enjoying his pizza and lasagna! The other pizza spot I haven’t noticed so I’m not entirely sure. I’ll keep an eye out for it! Salud 🍻 📈🇲🇽🏝️😎
@@theropemonster yeah we have a lot of decisions to make. On top of that, my wife and I considering retiring to Playa within the next couple years. We had a great pizza at Romeo’s years ago. I saw on Google maps that it is still there. Calle 4, next to Manne’s. Have a great day! I love your videos. My small dose of paradise.
Really cool that Ana is feeling better. She had to hustle to keep up with you 😅 . Informative video for the young folks trying to retire early or just jump ahead of the rat-race. But also, maybe some 'time refined' folks that are just now thinking about the prospects of investing, it's never to late to start something good in life. Keep up the fine work my friend.
Haha you noticed that lol 😂… I realized that when I was editing like “was I really walking that fast?!” 🥲. I really appreciate your feedback, excellent point about the “time refined” folks… there’s absolutely no reason this strategy can’t work for people in their 30’s, 40’s, 50’s or even 60’s! All the best to you my friend, thanks again for always being present here on the channel!! 😎🍻📈🏝️🇲🇽
@@theropemonster i have been visiting Playa del Carmen for about 18 yrs. I still find your observations and information about Playa informative. I am enjoying being keeping up with your channel my friend.
You are truly a great motivational person, and I appreciate you. I am 2-weeks short of my 50th and I've only started investing seriously a few years ago. I mainly own stocks in the co. I work for and have maximized all my contributions. However, (and I speak on behalf of most Gen X) had I heard these wise words when I was younger, I would have been retired by now. PS. The beach, and Ana look grea!! ❤
Hey sweet Jiji!! Thank you so much for the kind words and sharing your situation here! I think we all wish we could have started earlier or avoided certain mistakes or setbacks, but as I mentioned toward the end of the video, there ARE ways to speed up the process, “super-charge” the strategy, and make up for a little lost time! For now, hopefully you can just get into vacation/party mode, and enjoy the big 5-0 to the max here in PDC!! Hope to buy you a birthday beer for sure! Thanks again for checking out the video! 🍻❤️😎🏝️🇲🇽📈
Delayed gratification as well as figuring out what is happiness will help young people make better financial decisions. I wish someone told me about ETFs and Index funds when I was 16 as well as Roth ira and 401k. Great video!
You and me both my friend!! Imagine being equipped with that knowledge at 16 🤯🤑. Thanks for your feedback and checking out my channel! All the best to you my friend ❤️🇲🇽🏝️
Thanks for the great question Alex! I’ll give a brief but hopefully helpful answer! It’s important to know that Dividend Growth stocks are the best compounders…these are companies with growing cash flows, that regularly raise their dividends. In this case, we are focusing on the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the dividend: Let’s take JPM for example. They have a 12% dividend growth rate over the last decade. (The dividend has more than DOUBLED since 2017!) Assuming that you’re reinvesting these dividends, then your growing dividends will buy ever more shares than previously… and with more shares, come higher dividends still, which buy even more shares. Eventually this becomes a runaway freight train, where each quarter, your dividend is buying you 10’s and eventually even 100’s of shares. Thanks for checking out the video my friend!! All the best to you 😎📈🇲🇽🏝️
and dont forget, you have to physically reinvest the dividend (its not automatic on some platforms). (don't let dividends sit "in cash", a mistake I once made).
@@ivansostaric6973 words of wisdom!! Thanks for sharing that! I know that Charles Schwab and a few others, you can toggle on the “auto reinvest dividends” tab but not on the app, you have to do it on your computer!
2 BIG gaps. Inflation is not considered. ETF's are at about 10% (SP 500 since inception) That brings the return on capital at about 7%. 100% agree that sooner is way better.
Not all ETFs perform equally. Some, when dividends are taken into account, outperform the SP 500! Dividend growth accounts for and outpaces inflation if you pick good quality funds with quality, dividend growth companies. Thanks for watching 📈😎🏝️
there is always inflation. The point of the vid is to simplify a strategy for young people. (not exact %, which is variable for all aspects). For more indepth detail, there are a million vids for further education. Rope Monster is 100% correct with his message.
@@ivansostaric6973 Start saving young. Agree. But examples are very crooked. A more realistic example can be given. Also if those accounts are not registered they are taxable. Dividends will push capitals gains. If it was that simple...
This video is GOLD!! Exactly what 16-20 year olds need to see and understand as they begin to plan their life. You're awesome!! Thank you!!
