    I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

    I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time .This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life.

      I often listen to people who say they've done that, however they never put great margin between income and expenses and they never put knowledge to use by taking necessary action to get rid of their debts and consistently invest in higher growth options over the years. So, they have not accumulated much to care for themselves in their latter years and to be able to give abundantly and consistently to help others.

The reason i feel like avoiding social media (or at least limiting it to a bare minimum) is ideal, is because it can affect your mental health as well as create "comparison-itis" ...

      They don’t really teach personal finance when you’re a finance major. There’s classes you can take specifically on personal finance, but there’s no major requirements for it because major isn’t typically catering towards that. Personally, you definitely get a good understand of how money works from a perspective, and have learned how loans work from physically scheduling them, to how powerful interest it, insight on how banks operate, but yeah we don’t really learn personal finance. It’s like every school jus expects you to learn on that on your own… after all a lot of them require people to take a lot of student loans out

    The formula is fairly simple:
    1. Get a job that you enjoy. Making lots of money doesn't mean anything if you are miserable.
    2. Pay yourself first.
    3. Live within your means.
    4. Don't be bedazzled by shiny things.
    5. Don't overspend on depreciating assets (cars, boats, etc)
    6. Learn about compound interest. It is like fire, it can be of great benefit and it can destroy.

    • @thecurrentmoment
      @thecurrentmoment 3 года назад +8

      Regarding a job that you enjoy:
      Once you get your savings/investments/budget system up and running there's really not a lot to do with it, maybe an hour a week to keep everything in track, and you will be doing that for a looong time. This means that if you have the attitude of grinding your way through it you are going to be not a very enjoyable person, to yourself or others. For such a long game it pays to have something you can keep, hence work and hobbies/interests that you enjoy. This helps you to enjoy the journey and stick with it, which is important for a 20-30 year goal. If you think you will hustle and grind for 30 years ... good luck.
      When I was building wealth on a low income, having work that I enjoyed, friends, social activities, and regular hobbies that I was learning gave me something to look forward to every week. I could sustain that indefinitely. Once I got my habits in place, there was really nothing to do but transfer money on payday (5min max) and I knew everything was taken care of and I needed something else to do with my time apart from manage money. When I decided to tighten the belt even more and make faster process I dropped a lot of those things and didn't sustain it.
      So sometimes going a bit slower but with something you can keep up and sustain is the better option. And that is the role of doing things you enjoy, including work.

      I know what you mean. We all go through something stupid and make dumb decisions at a young age. I was told the same. You need credit blah blah. I received 41k when I was 18 because my father died when I was young and it was from social security. I blew through that money in 3 months and boy did I have a lot of “friends.” If I would have invested that money in a broad market index fund and forgotten about it until now, that money would be worth around 200k and that’s without contributing toward the investment fund. Hard lesson to learn for sure. But eventually I got intentional like Chris and Ramsey talk about. My wife have budgeted every red cent for a long time and have lived almost like we are poor. We have been saving for 10 years with a 600k net worth now. We will be millionaires hopefully by 42 and retire by 45 all because we made the decision to be intentional and live well below our means. You and everyone else can do the same.

    What I've learned in 2 years of marriage,, regardless of your spouse if you get married. Create a road map for everything you both wanna do. In the road map create a way to either increase or platue your finances based on what you want to do. Don't plan without thinking and don't spend without a road map to help alleviate your debt. As an example going to an out of state mall, we plan to spend x amount of money, and we either setup a stand to pay for the trip or we cut something out of our lives to pay for it.

    Wealth is a mindset, being secure is another thing. See so many people searching for quick riches. Focus on changing your lifestyle. Make sure you have own home and pay off as quickly as possible to make sure your kids have something to build on. Be striving for more but don't over reach and risk your own security

They say money is not everything or at all important, yet we find ourselves working for it . In my opinion money gives you more time to do the things you really want to do , you don’t need millions to live a peaceful and financial free life , just need to manage your money well enough to make it work for you . In my opinion 👍🏻 thanks Dave for your videos ❤️

Jobs were scarce in 2008 and it didn’t get better till around 2012. Took 12 years of working up the ladder at jobs completely unrelated to my major to pay off the loans. Maybe by 35 I’ll be able to afford a 20% down payment on a home haha

    Like Dave says, your income is the best tool that you have for building wealth. Get off unemployment and get out there into the workforce. Not only will the pay be better but you'll also build experience and grow your network. Neither of those things happen sitting at home collecting a check. Also, plan to move out of the house shortly after graduation. There's no motivator and growth catalyst like needing to cover your own rent and utilities. I'd rather have a bit less money in the bank and already be out on my own (in fact that's what I did in my early 20s) than have a bigger bank account balance while acting like I'm still a kid living under my mom's roof. In short, go out there and get it!

    If you are focused on it at 22, becoming rich is pretty simple. Investing into the growth type funds Dave recommends, and targetting 15-20k a year and you will be there very soon. Even on low income, do 10k a year and live cheap for 10 or 15 years, then let that money sit another 20 years and you will still have a ton of money at 50 or 60. Note, I didnt do this because I wasnt focussed and bought too much house (and a new car), so it set me behind. I will still get there, just not as early as otherwise. Regardless, if it is your goal and you are focused at age 22, you absolutely will get there if you invest your money
