      @Camaro 1968 I hear ya, you just have a different lifestyle than I do. To me, being in a relationship would mean the ability to split the cost of necessities while doubling down on savings, all with the goal of creating passive income and a super early retirement of running off to live in the mountains or travel around the world. But, as evidenced by your comments, that's not what it means to most.

He can get that with his fiancee and have $564 more per year saved up, which is enough for a round trip flight to Hawaii!

    Dude cut up the cards and get back on Dave Ramsey’s plan! Pause all saving and investing, put $1,000 aside for a starter emergency fund and throw the rest of savings at the debt using the debt snowball method, then raise your emergency fund to 3-6 months of expenses and leave it there. THEN start investing 15% towards retirement and saving up for a house. The baby steps work every time if you do them in order. I paid off 40k in 14 months and I don’t make some crazy high income. Today I’m debt free except my home, have a six month emergency fund, and I’m putting away 15% for retirement. It’s an amazing feeling.

    God bless you! You've done a great job! Boston is expensive. I live just outside of Boston. It's expensive. I was single Dad here for years. I did manage to pay 100% for my daughter's 4 year nursing degree. You just have to stay focused as you know. Keep trucking!!!!!

    How does he save $1,800/month but only have $17,000 in Savings and $19,000 in Student Loan Debt? These videos would be far more relatable if they showed realistic break-downs of the budget, not the best case scenario.

      Also inaccurate if his pretax income is 60k. You cant possibly take home 4456.00 a month on a 60k salary after taxes. Not sure how CNBC did the breakdown at all.

      @@patty221 still, if it's added and accounted onto that pie graph, then his pretax would be higher than 60k making the video title inaccurate. 4.5 take home is close to 100k is all I'm saying. Not arguing!

    I got 0 in my chequing account. RBC in Canada lets you have unlimited deposits and withdrawals from your savings. So since we use credit card for everything these days, chequing accounts are pretty useless to me now.

    Why would you not purchase plane tickets on a CC, that's literally its best use. The CC generally give the best benefits for use with travel. If you don't have a CC that has free transactional fees, its actually better to use cash when you are in different countries.

    You don’t need a real estate license to become an investor. You can pocket all that money just by starting your own business in invest property. I had one and realized I didn’t need it and I didn’t like splitting my money with brokers.
