    My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

      Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.

      How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

    I have about $250k distributed across various investing accounts, with 35% of my capital invested in an IRA and 25% in index funds. In Q3, 2023, I suffered a great deal. I'm just searching for methods to get better in 2024 right now.

    Hi Mitch - great video. One thing is confusing me. Do you suggest putting in an amount each month into the index fund? You mentioned you started with £400 every month. Was that consistent irrespective of the fluctuations in the share prices? Or do you ignore that and stick to the consistency. If it does well though won’t you always be buying high?

    • @MitchShoesmith
      @MitchShoesmith  2 месяца назад +1

      Hey, thanks! I did £400 a month because that was what I could afford at the time and invested it automatically irrespective of the stock market prices. I did invest more when the market collapsed in 2020 on a couple of months to capitalise from lower market prices but generally I’d say invest what you can afford, and don’t worry about market timing ☺️

    • @MitchShoesmith
      @MitchShoesmith  2 месяца назад +1

      Hey, I have got a video on the channel somewhere about exactly how it’s set up! I think it’s a video called “how normal people can become rich” I made it a few months back. But yes, the way it’s set up is through a Ltd co, and is funded by my RUclips business (also Ltd co). I’m currently employed so I don’t take any money out of either business account, so hopefully I’ll be able to reinvest the money quicker ☺️

    Boring ETF investing, is the best ETF investing.
    I’ve held mine in the S&P and an All World for years. I’ve only really just started on individual stocks as my disposable income outgrows my ISA & Pension ETF allocation.

    I am confused. You are speaking about buying index funds but you actually bought an ETF, isn’t that right? Can you buy actual index funds on T212?
    Or am I confusing index funds with mutual funds?

      In the same way whatever he's indicated as the monthly payment won't be worth as much in the future so in the future you'll be paying in monthly much more than you are today?
      That's why many use 6 or 7% as a realistic rate of return as it accounts for inflation and as such the final figure given would in effect be in "today's money"
