Original Video by Andre Jikh: • How Much Money You Sho...
By 20 Year Olds:
First, go and get yourself a credit card.
Second, make sure you also open up a Roth IRA.
Third, I would aim to have 1-2 MONTHS of expenses saved up.
Fourth, get yourself invested in the markets in some way or another.
So, overall…by 20 years old, there aren’t really many NET WORTH or SAVINGS goals you should aim to hit…but, instead, it’s just about setting up a good foundation from which you can build from.
By 30 Years Olds:
First: You’ll want to have at LEAST a credit score of 750 or higher.
Second: I’d recommend you become COMPLETELY BAD-DEBT FREE by the time you’re 30.
Third, because everyone wants to know “HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I HAVE!!” - I kind of agree with the 1x your salary as a bit of a baseline to aim for.
And fourth - I think by 30, it’s reasonable to suggest that you aim to save at least 20% of your income every month.
By 40 Year Olds:
First, you should focus on MAXING OUT YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS EVERY YEAR.
Second, you should also look into potentially BUYING A HOUSE if this is something you’re interested in.
Third, by 40, you should know EXACTLY how much you spend every single month - and have AT LEAST 5-7X your annual spending invested.
By 50 Years Old:
First: I think having 5x your annual income saved up is a good goal - but, if you can get this closer to 7x or higher, I think that’ll put you in a much stronger position for retirement.
Second: Depending on your situation, you should be about halfway through paying off the mortgage on your primary residence.
Third: You should also have a VERY clear idea of how much you’ll need in retirement, and when you plan to retire - and that needs to be calculated, NOW.
By 60 Years Old:
First: You’ll want to aim for at least 10-12x your salary saved up.
Second, I think it’ll also be wise to have almost paid off your primary residence by now - so, if you haven’t already done this, you’re getting close.
Third: It’s usually said that this is where your earnings will have somewhat peaked - so, if you’re in the highest earning years of your life, now is the time to save as much as you possibly can with the income you have.
Fourth: If you want to, NOW is the time where you can begin withdrawing from your retirement accounts without any penalties.
And really, from there …the rest is up to you, and those are the goals that I think you should aim to hit in every decade. Obviously, this is only going to be a rough ballpark and some people may be way ahead of this or way behind this - but, that’s not important - it’s more important to realize that NOW is the best time to begin working towards these goals. It’s all about starting this as soon as you can, even if you’re behind, and then working within your means to understand what you need to do to reach your future goals.

awesome video We all aspire to financial security and a better quality of life. With the correct investment, modest lifestyle, and planning, accomplishing this is not difficult. I'm pleased I was taught to work hard for financial independence at a young age.
My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. Yet, investing can be challenging and dangerous if done alone. For this reason, I suggest getting professional assistance (financial advisors). The problem is effectively applying it, not merely watching videos and reading investing books.
@@Brittany-reeds Sincerely, I'm genuinely moved by what you said. I have a sizable amount of money that I am willing to invest if given the appropriate knowledge and I am highly interested in investing. My greatest concern is losing money on a bad investment. I'm open to hearing your advice on how to make sensible investments as a result.
@@Victoriataylor5668 As an OAP with extensive experience, I firmly think that having the appropriate information is essential to the success of any investment. Regardless of what others may say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer frequently advises, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." The secret to succeeding even while others fail is undoubtedly this. Working with financial advisor ALICE ELAINE HAYHURST, I earned $100,000. So far, working with her has been a promising experience.
@@Brittany-reeds Please, how do I connect with your financial planner?
@@Victoriataylor5668 quickly do a web check where you can connect with her, and do your research with her full names mentioned..
Great Video Mav! Maybe make a video on potential investments in this current market that would fetch substantial profit, been coming across articles on bloomberg, business insider etc about folks raking in $200K averagely in 6weeks using some sophisticated strategy and I'd love to know how.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
@Dan Brooks My advisor is ‘’Christine Jane Mclean’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market.

Just buy meat, make jerky out of it and vacuum seal it with O2 absorbers and stick it in the fridge (to prevent botulism). Meat's gone up around 35% in just a few months, so by 2021, it'll probably be 3,000 dollars for a slice of steak.

I've just begun investing at 19. Want to start good habits early!
The retirement fund that my husband and I have built up is doing quite nicely. The majority of the money, which averaged roughly $2 million, was made by taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase luxury stocks at a significant discount during the Great Recession. 2009 saw my stockbroker fired, all of my mutual funds liquidated, and I purchase individual dividend stocks. You can succeed if you are patient, don't panic, and do your homework.
Also, Stay in touch with an Investment-Adviser. Based on firsthand encounter, I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch, I've raised more than a million since 2021.

By age 20, open a Roth IRA and deposit your negative 27,000 into it.
😂😂
Yeah that way it’ll be tax free by age 59 and a half
Lmao, aaahhh that was good
😭😂💔
negative 27000? more like negative 100,000
the fact that the $500 in my savings account means that I’m already ahead of most people my age is a little concerning tbh
You should be concerned wit just the $500 lol
Guess who gets to pay for their retierment...
You are ahead of 40% of americans.

According to my Adviser; *Investing for Retirement is better than Saving for Retirement.*
What I think you need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit
*Teresa Jensen White,* That's whom i work with
I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits learning and investing with her for a few months now.
Teresa Jensen White is one of the best mentor/trader I have ever worked with in the past few years, she knows how best to deal with whatever market situation.
No she's not!... RUclips is a public place; i can't drop her information here but You can just put her name on google and you will be directed to her website and drop her your message.
i am 46, and only started about a year ago or two to really care about my savings . I had been doing "normal" things that most of us people do, buying too much car, spending small amounts (but many times) on very silly things and so on . So now I have a bit over a year worth of salary saved in cash, and i feel so much better than when i had virtually zero in my bank accounts . But it hurts me very much to think that had i started 20 years ago, i would have been in a much different position right now . But hey, better late than never !
Yep better now than never
I had to start over at 48, and in 12 years managed to get $450k in savings, paid off all bills (including kids' college) and my house is owed less than 8k. It can be done! good luck!
@@e-spy damn , that’s a lot of saving power in 12 years . I am trying to grow my side jobs to increase the income flow but I would not be able to save as much as you did . If I do a great job I might save 15k (euro) to 20k a year . But that’s enough for me . You did an amazing job .
@@albertobenelli Thanks, but keep in mind the market was doing really well the last 10 years. Most made at least 15%, but I did pay attention and got around 45% on average. I saved 25% of my salary for investments, another 25% into savings. The rest went to pay down debt, so I bought nothing. My car is 18 years old, for example, but runs great. I knew I had to get it together if I ever wanted to retire. The sacrifice was worth it, though I now have a reputation for being too frugal, lol.
@@e-spy I think you did an amazing job and pesce of mind has no value . I have to say my savings are now growing at an exponential rate so i might be surprised by how much I might save in the next 10-15 years . After a very strict beginning now I decided to let go every now and than to spend some extra money on a nice night out with friends or with my daughter . If a month I save a bit less than average, I save more the following month . It must not become an obsession either . Thank you for sharing your experience . I wish you a good day .
Realized I don't have 1x my annual salary saved up so I just quit my job and now I'm an overachiever.
This is the way
Gram : the average is -27,000
My exact debt: 27,000 👀.
Well 50% of people are worse off than you so you got that goin
Well the -$27,000 is net worth not debt, so if you own literally anything you have a higher net worth than that.
Given that only 41% of people enroll in college, and the average also includes all the people who didn't go to college, so it sounds like you're doing pretty well (if you went to college)
You're just an average guy.
12:00 I think every 20 year old needs to hear that! It's so insanely eye-opening. Thank you for making financial topics intersting Graham
This is cute, but most of us are here at age 30+ because we were absolute morons with our money in our 20s 🤣
Lol yup I’m 31 and burly gettin out of debt and less that $2,000 in saving
Yeppppp lol 34 here
I have a lot saved but little invested. Am an idiot.
Guess I’m going places I’m 19 have 15k invested and 5k in my bank act and I’m stressing balls worried what I want to do with my life just working till I get a idea haha

There’s a show called the “money guy show”, they’ve been covering this for a few years now. They even mention you a couple of times, (they see you as a great mentor). But their numbers by age are higher and always mention the power of compound interest, so $1 spent as a 20 year old is $80 wasted when you turn 60. You should check them out.

I'm so lucky my dad is a financial planner. This stuff was ingrained in my brother and I.
I was 17 working ToGo orders at a Texas Roadhouse during the summer of the pandemic and the tips were really good, I also hardly spent money since everything was still restricted and I lived at home. I focused on my schoolwork as well, fast forward at 19 I currently have 18k in savings and will have no student loans since my merit scholarships cover tuition (in school for nursing). I’m paying rent with a roommate right now, but hopefully next year I can find my own place to share with my partner! My goal right now is to start saving into a Roth IRA account, and build credit!
good job! I've got 11k saved up rn at 18. I'm planning on making a ROTH IRA with vanguard
If u are a refuring to a partner as a woman, DON'T. Every experience I have EVER seen in the last 20 years puts them in the cost side. Women are not built how the were 30 years ago.
Please don’t live with a “partner” depending on the outcome, you could lose half of what you worked so hard to earn 😕
Women are expensive and they generally do not know the value of savings. They are here just to have fun so make sure she’s the right one.
a little update and clarification: I am the woman in my relationship and my partner is my boyfriend, who is in school for mechanical engineering. I decided to pursue two degrees since my merit scholarships cover all of my tuition and I thought 'why not.' I have a little over 19k saved now, some in investments as well, and a credit score in the 'very good' category. We are planning to wait to live together since it is very expensive in my city and we are on the younger side, but we are overall still going very strong
"-$27,000 in debt at 20" Im sorry is this some sort of American joke that im too european to understand?
Most younge adults that go to college after high school (18) or a little older say 20. Are in debt because of college
@@johny9567 because instead of community college they go private due to bad grades not getting a scholarship or some such and want to live on their own.
meaning rent. in cities like nyc a year of rent will put you down that rabbit hole even with a job. its a slave trade there.
solve the rent problem you solve the student loan problem.
meaning you need to destroy the rental and property value market.
or raise min wage according to rental and property value market.
imagine getting 5-10% raises?
lmao.
min wage if they want to be fair in a ratio should be tied to the rent + property value market averaging it out.
kids getting creative living in their cars to avoid rent because rent is too damn high aka property values are too damn high and needs to crash to 3x income.

Hi Graham. Been listening too you and a few other youtubers all year. I am getting my finances right this year!
I save at least 50% of the money I earn every month. It is very easy when you are over thirty years old and you still live with your parents.
Are you happy tho?
F in the chat but also what a chad
Same here but I am moving out next month. So I am going to be broke :(
Lol I'm 25 but the same situation. Saving about 2/3 of my monthly income ($3,200) and investing consistently, but there's really no shame in it. You're doing the right thing by living at home as long as you aren't too much of a burden on your parents. Times are different, there's really no reason to move out in your early 20's if it means you'll be burdened by rent or even mortgage payments. In my opinion (depending on how much you're earning) buying property isn't always the best move if it means most of your paycheque will be going directly to home equity and interest. It could easily inhibit your ability to build multiple streams of income if you make that leap too early.
Ah so you’re the rich kid a school who’s parents will pay form them

Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately $950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Nicole Desiree Simon, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her

I'm 48. March 2020 I had 0 saved. Today, I have over $20k invested, thanks to Graham and others. I had a bunch of collectible crap I sold off (amazing how many eyes were on Craigslist during covid) and put a $1000 a month of money I was really just pissing away. I'm laser focused now. I think I can do $2k a month from here on out for a while (maybe the next 5 years). Sorry honey, no traveling for a bit. Covid makes saving a lot easier. Thanks Graham for your no BS videos that provide so much great information and get to the point.

awesome man!!
Hey man, I suggest you invest in Aston Martin, I predict over 1000% increase in the next 5 years. Analysts have yet to catch on to their recovery potential but its an area I have followed very closely for years. Do your own research though.
If they taught this in high school, we’d have a lot more STEM majors.
What is to teach BASIC MATH taught in grade 4.
Why, there aren't enough now? They already want to do away with liberal arts majors because most people are going into STEM.
It doesn't really work like that.
That’s not really how it works. Just because you have a Stem degree doesn’t mean it’s easier to get a job or that you’ll make a lot of money. Some of these career fields have too many people compared to the amount of jobs

I was raised a by 2 dave ramsey fanatics, so we follow the baby steps religiously. I always had an emergency fund set aside for myself. I started investing at 16 between mutual funds and roth ira. I plan to get into my 401k next year upon getting a fulltime job once i graduate and really plug ahead on investing more. Saving up for a duplex/multi family home to start that passive income, and have 5 side hustles/income streams at the moment.
Live below your means, save 50% or more your income, keep expenses low, live frugal, say no to debt, and INVEST AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
Its channels like these that motivate you to reach your financial goals.
Hows your eating lifestyle? Breakfast lunch dinner snacks etc. Just curious
Those are not reasonable for most people. You're in the
@@goaliedude32 Yeah especially the scholarships part. I applied to probably 50 or so scholarships. Didn't get a single one. The only scholarship I had was offered by my school that was basically canceled out by the rise in tuition. I also go to an instate engineering school while already being a year ahead in my program (to save money lol). Rippp
Do you have time for leisure time? Do you enjoy your life and what’s one of the side hustles ?
Lmao sounds like a really enjoyable life you live
Very informative video. I appreciate all of the time you put into this video!
Thanks for sharing!’ We agree it’s a great measurement AND motivation if we happen to get off track!! Definitely hitting the like button!!
Starting in my twenties, I put away $50 a week as an emergency fund. So when an unexpected expense (ex. dental) came up, I would pay with a reward credit card, then I would dip into my emergency fund to pay the balance in full to avoid paying interest. 😀 Doing this avoided some stress in my life!
I need to save $100,000 so I can spend it all in 56 minutes like Jake Paul did. 😉
Thank you for your tips and motivation Graham btw!!

Love your videos Paul
@@laurabilze3105 woo thank you Laura!!!
Lol how did he do that in less than an hour? Not the wisest spender lol
*laughs in Creole* 🤣
It's great to have a series of targets to shoot for. One of my favorite quotes is "if you aim at nothing you will hit it every time."
Awesome video, I feel like I am late to the party at 23 but after reading these comments I feel that I found this video at the perfect time! A common trend I am seeing is that spending recklessly in your 20's can destroy your whole future.
A year ago I was 20, had no savings, no investments and was constantly stressed about bills and over drafting my checking account. In the last six months I've got two high-interest savings accounts along with an emergency fund saved up, making money on my investments and am building my credit score. Thanks Graham.
I really love it when youtubers take the time to write the summary in the description box. The effort is really appreciated!
Probably his editor
This si priceless advice
Thank you.
This is by far one of your greatest videos ever Graham
I’m way ahead in the positive and I’m only 16 years old. I started my RUclips channel at around 13 and it’s now making me money.
I just watched a video on your channel that has 4.3 million views! That's insane brotha!
Just seen your channel wow man great going keep grinding you’ll be made before you’re 20!
Do you have any tips?
That’s epic. How much have you made so far?
tinydough I’m commenting to see when this gets answered
My relationship with money has changed since I found this channel. Thanks for your videos Graham
so happy to hear!
Found your channel researching real estate investing and love your videos. You’re fun too which is a bonus haha, keep it up and thanks for the info!
Great video, thanks Graham!
My only complain is that I didn’t find you sooner. Crazy how within just a few videos my mind set has changed in the way I view things. I would always blame school and parents for not teaching us the things we really needed to learn. However as an adult is our responsibility to go out and learn it. Thank you for all the advice you have shared with us.
Money doesn't buy happiness, money can buy experiences but it's up to you to live in the moment. As much as I love saving money, it should be a fun task rather than a chore - having tangible goals helps a ton (like I want to buy a car, house, etc) rather than "I want a million bucks"
Sounds right to me.
Money may not be able to strictly buy happiness, but it can eliminate any problems that cause unhappiness, in turn increasing your overall happiness.
@@Trey50Daniel I definitely agree with this to an extent, like man if I had enough money I would eliminate other peoples' unhappiness every single day because I love helping others.
just ask dan bilzerian for some money
@@rienokimchee6687 He's my cousin and I love him but I've never taken a dime from him, I'm self-made and want to keep it that way lmao
17 years old. Thank you for this information, you’re teaching better, the most teachers
I’m 20 and this channel has helped me so much! I now have a 401k, roth IRA, brokerage acc w fidelity, and am saving for my first house. Thanks Graham!
Watching a few of these videos leads to a dedication to smart decision making... watching too many of these videos leads to crippling anxiety
I'm 19, have $7k in my Roth, and $1.2k in Robinhood. No debt, college is completely paid for and working an internship!! Credit score of 760 ;)
Bruh I'm 17, teach me your ways 😂
Congrats
That’s amazing! Congrats!
Nice work!
Big Jamal 😂😂mann but he did say college completely paid for so I’m assuming handouts ?
I've chose the right time I think to watch this video thank you
I’ve been investing since I was 16, I’ve been blessed to finally be able to this year I’m 21 live off passive income and not erode my base capital while still having money to invest into other income streams. Thanks for all your help Graham. (Will I stop working, yes my 9-5 but there’s so much other asset classes to profit from and I’m excited for the knowledge and adventures to come )
Graham: Go get a credit card!
Dave Ramsey: Sell the car, get a second job, get rid of the card and live off of rice and beans!
Graham’s advice is WAY better if you are a responsible person!
@@JasonClineShow Mr. Ramsey's clients be like "I'm just 10 years old and 1,000,000$ in debt!!!"
Not to mention that he was burned by the collapse of I think it was the housing market that drove him to bankruptcy, so he treats credit almost like a recovering addict. Combine this with his target audience, and it's not a surprise he gives the advice he does.

My family and I are first generation immigrants. My parents never taught us about investing, little about savings. It was about survival for us for a long time. I wish I knew about all of this a decade ago so that I could have planned and started. But your channel is opening up a lot of opportunities and new goals for me Graham. Thank you!
Same, bro
yesterday was the best time to start, but today is the second-best time :)
The big thing I am taking from this video and the comments is this.
Graham's advice is this fantastic guideline for what we should aim for. However, many of us (myself included) Never had anyone sit down and talk to us about this. There are a few commenters saying "Hey I did X and X millennials are so entitled I'm not one of you." I get this train of thought, but it's just availability bias. Heck, I got my start on TikTok at age 28 because that was my first exposure to finance.
The best advice that appears consistently is this - no matter how old you are, start making moves. Improve your income potential, pay off credit card debt. Save 10-20% of your income in some sort of an investment account. If you are older you just have to work harder. Learn to live below your means and say no to people when you need to. Remember 3k a month after-tax retirement income when you own your house is enough to not be terrified of life. As long as SS is still implemented you also should have additional income from that. One thing at a time - consistency is key.
The big caveat here is that you also need to balance this with your life and what makes life worth living for you. The other commenters saying "why don't you spend all of your spare time with x side hustle and save it." Well, we only get a single life to live and it is important to live it. Stress is a killer and not spending time on the things that matter to you to save a few bucks is a huge mistake. (my opinion).
Believe in yourself, live life, and make your retirement something that matters.
Oh my goooodnesss I love your channel so much 😭
Graham: “save 5-7x your income by now.”
Lots of people: can’t afford a $500 emergency.
Yeah he's not very in tune with reality.
most people??? come on do door dash if you have free times. dont be lazy, if you are single then live in the room cheaper than a apartment, learn to cook. lot of way to save money. infact im saving from 100% from my 2 job (door dash and restaurant) my tips are literally cover my expends. house paid off. just work your ass off for 10 years then you are good to go.
@@danielwells774 No, your reality is made by hard work. Graham isn't well off cause he is lucky. It's cause he researches, and puts in the work. Both in terms of making and saving money.
If you want to live a victimized life by thinking that it's impossible to make a decent living or save a lot of money, then you won't do very well.
Do research, put in the work and you will get results.
The reason most people can't afford to save is because they spend too much and they don't try to get a career, they just work a minimum wage job their whole life, because learning something is hard.
@@danielwells774 Most people bury themselves in credit card debt. The good ol' "Too many people are buying things they can't afford, with money that they don't have... to impress people that they don't like!"
According to the US government: The mean credit card debt of U.S. households is approximately $5,700, according to most recent data from the Survey of Consumer Finances by the U.S. Federal Reserve
The average interest rate is ~20%, so if they weren't paying 1k+ in interest every month they'd be easily saving 12k a year without changing their lifestyle.
Guess those people should start with trying to hit the advice for 20 y olds
So you're telling me I'm richer than most 20-year-olds and I'm 14 and don't even have 1k. I feel very special.
Save like crazy while you’re young kiddo, and if you plan on going to college, apply to scholarships like it’s your job. Good luck
Get a job dog, get ahead of the curve. You could easily have enough for a 20% down payment on a house by 18 if you spend minimally and work the legal limit (or a full-time side hustle)
Anyone here know if weeble is actually any good?

As a 14 year old with more money than most 30 year olds, I know how you feel!
Awesome advice buddy 👍
Love the office space reference
You're speech at the end where you said "it's all about starting as soon as you can, even if you're behind. And then working within your means to understand what you need to do to hit your future goals... the best time to start taking this seriously is now and it's never going to be too late to begin catching up or working harder to achieve these..." That made me feel better lol because this is kinda overwhelming. No matter what I try to do, thinking about retirement and needing more and more savings feels overwhelming. I know a lot of people who could use your advice too.
I’m nearly sixteen and so glad that you’re making these videos! Even though I’m young I think it’s absolutely essential to figure all this out now so I’m prepared for my life. Thank you so much!
Happy birthday lol
You should do a video about good habits one can culture, motivations, focus and keeping your eyes on the ball
Bruh, BEST video ever!!!, I have been looking at some equation about optimal Retirment benchmarks for months and honestly I kinda never gave you a chance because (Stephan).... knew somebody with that name and I mean, sorry man.
You are good man, thank you for the video and I def hit Subscribed now.
For anyone who lives in the UK we have the same version of a Roth IRA which is called an ISA and you can save up to £20,000 per year tax free!
I'm saving 40% of my income and I'm 38 year old single parent. Thanks to Graham I have kicked my savings into gear.
Nice work!
Keep inspiring Robert!
That’s amazing
Good video! I didn't have any debt when I was 20 though. I can see how car loans come into play to besides just student loans.
Thanks for the content. Awesome!

Thanks for your feedback.
Send a msg to my financial advisor.
Tell him i recommended you.
As a 18 years old, I'm glad to have found your channel long ago. The day I was 18, I got a credit card to build up my credit score. I invest money as you said. I mean, in my last year of high school, my "finance" teacher should have put your video in front of the class instead of him. I'm grateful. Thank you Graham!
It’s CRAZY seeing what the “average” numbers are!... I’d love to see how they would compare to the average of Graham’s subs
agreed!! I'd be curious!
Actually, I think the numbers Graham is listing are "recommended" not actual averages.
@@OmniscientlyMe I feel it's safe to say the actual averages are much much lower 🙃
Do a poll @graham! I think that could be really cool!
A lot of coin
Great the CC for a college student when studies show most don’t pay off their CC. It teaches them to go into debt/borrow money.
All of this is excellent advice. Just hope you don't have any down turns that take your savings from you or keep you from paying off your house.
Currently 24, saving 80% of my salary. I know this would be nearly impossible if I weren’t living with my parents though. Still, even if I were living on my own, I would still be saving 60% so feeling pretty good about myself.
Definetly! Wow
👏👏👏
do you pay rent? wowzers
@@kieran7585 why would she pay rent to parents 😂

Great topic 👍🏾
not sure if you already have a video on this, but would love to see one about how working right after college then deciding to go back to grad school affects the age/savings trajectory, especially if planning to attend phd program where you are out of traditional workforce for ~5 years.
Glad I was thinking like this when I was in my 20's. House paid off two years ago and have almost 8x my annual saved at 40 with zero debt. I do hear from many though that I have not done well for myself since I don't work a white collar 9-5 job.
You've done incredibly well
Haha those are the same people living in crippling debt. 😂 Cheers man good job👌🔥
Thank God I have a Brother just like you xD
The average Plummer makes more in a lifetime than the average doctor or so I’ve heard
What do you do?
I'm amazed at how many of these finance channels and influencers recommend buying a house so late in life. It must just be the culture of the area I live in, but as far as I know most people aspire to buy a house as soon as they can afford to after getting married. My wife and I just bought ours this year at 20 & 23 years old to save money since it's $960/mo for our 1400 sqft home that would've cost $1k+ in rent each month. It obviously helps having two full-time jobs, no bad debt, or kids.
