    I'm 54 and my wife and I are VERY worried about our future, gas and food prices rising daily. We have had our savings dwindle with the cost of living into the stratosphere, and we are finding it impossible to replace them. We can get by, but can't seem to get ahead. My condolences to anyone retiring in this crisis, 30 years nonstop just for a crooked system to take all you worked for...

      Just buy low sell high. Stick with a good company by either not selling when it’s going lower and/or buying more at that time. Almost always the good well managed companies will come back strong at some point. The other is to get yourself a financial-advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on the shares/ETF you focus on.

No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it.

    I wasn't even trying to save that much, years just went by and I was trying to save as much as possible. I grew up poor and was dreaming of living differently.
    I set new milestones everytime I passed one and eventually made itnto 100.
    I'm not used to nice things, buy a car, don't go to restaurants, movies, malls, clubs etc. I had no life but that was ok because some of those years were during the pandemic.

    Charlie munger actually said "Saving your first 100 thousand is a Bit$h" but I'm thinking you already know that. And he was right it is. Especially when you basically have to save 90% of it yourself before compounding takes effect in any meaningful way.

    The way you broke down the challenges of saving the first $100,000 really resonated with me, especially the part about lifestyle inflation. It's so easy to fall into the trap of increasing our spending as our income rises.
    I'm curious, do you have any tips for resisting lifestyle inflation and staying disciplined with saving and investing?
    Also, What's one financial goal you're currently working towards, and how are you staying motivated to reach it?
    Thanks for the awesome video, can't wait for the next one!

    • @TravisMaciejewski
      @TravisMaciejewski 9 месяцев назад +1

      I have not listened to the video yet, so maybe this is covered. To avoid lifestyle inflation, I treat 50% of each pay increase as pay bump for "future me." If you just let the money hit your account, it's very easy for it to disappear (even with a budget). Bump up the 401k or have a savings auto transfer on payday.

    • @TheFirstRealChewy
      @TheFirstRealChewy 9 месяцев назад

      It's psychological. You need hope. Start by visualizing the minimum lifestyle that you'd want. How much does that lifestyle cost? How long will it take you to realistically achieve that lifestyle? Will you still care about that lifestyle by the time you achieve it?
      If you answer those questions and feel good, like you are on track, then keep going. If you answer those questions and it makes you feel sad or depressed, then it will be more difficult for you to resist lifestyle inflation.
      So the first thing is to find your FI number and check if it's achievable. If it's not achievable, then what number is achievable? Can your reduce your lifestyle to fit within your achievable lifestyle, and accept that this is your current reality? If so, you're on the path to greatness. The reason is that once it's achievable, then the next thing you'll likely do is try to accelerate to that goal. The faster you get there, the faster you can surpass it. Lifestyle inflation will only slow you down.
      Looking back I noticed how some of my coworkers lived quite frugally. Surely they could afford a nicer place, car, etc. I on the other hand lived a nicer lifestyle, and it was fun. Fast forward to almost two decades later. They are now living a similar lifestyle as myself and have achieved FI. I'm still working hoping to reach FI by retirement age.😅 I can't help but feel like I chose the wrong path. The future feels so far away until it's here, then you wonder where the time went. I want the future me to look back and say "good job" instead of feel regret.

    I've come to realize that the key to amassing wealth lies in making sound investments. I purchased my first home at the age of 21 for $87,000 and sold it for $197,000. My second home, acquired for $170,000, was later sold for $320,000, and my third property, purchased at $300,000, fetched $589,000, with buyers covering all closing costs and expenses. Not reaching a million before retirement feels like an unfulfilled goal..

    • @finrodson1288
      @finrodson1288 9 месяцев назад +5

      The latter. You didn't really do anything if you bought a house in 2020 right before the real estate prices exploded and now your net worth increased by 100k, let's say. And the equity won't really do much for you as long as you decide to not rent anymore, since the equity most likely will need to be rolled into your next home.
      So yeah, actually saving getting your liquid and semi-liquid accounts to 100k is what he is talking about.
