    I only make about $50k/yr right now but I have my paycheck automated like this, 6% goes into my 401k (my company matches up to 6% so free money) and 5% goes directly into my emergency fund/savings which has a 4.7% apy. It’s not much but it’s a good start. I started this bc of you so thank you Ramit!

      Good start. Keep pushing. Try to increase by at least 1% per year until you get to double digits and eventually to the 401K max per.year. Also, try to start investing some in a brokerage account (maybe s&p 500) as well especially after interest rates drop.

You've helped me a lot Ms Sonia Karen ! Imagine I invested $2,500 and received $18,200 after 2 days days.

    -Redeeming my childhood- learning new sports that we couldn’t afford growing up

    There was no "Brutal Financial Advice" in this video. In fact it all ranged from the common sense to the enlightening and even inspiring. You can't make excuses and expect your life to change. If you can only afford to save or invest $20 a week then that is what you should be saving or investing. You don't lose by taking the first steps and continuing to move forward.

    Hey Ramit, it would be interesting to see you do a video with another financial youtuber to discuss and compare your methods. Someone like the Money Guys or a Ramsey personality would be an interesting clash of opinions, or someone like Caleb Hammer where you could compare a compassionate approach with a more in your face "scared straight" method. It seems like your method may have better results than Hammer's, but hard to tell with the limited follow-ups.

    I'm not sure target date funds are necessary, because you wouldn't be taking out all of your retirement right at day one of your retirement, ideally, right? (I'm not a financial expert by any means! Just a thought)

    • @laundrygoddess4
      @laundrygoddess4 2 часа назад

      I work in finance and I wouldn't do target date funds. I would do an index fund and pay a planner to do a financial plan to optimize taxes. Index funds should do you well until 50 depending on when you want to retire.

    • @justanotherjessica
      @justanotherjessica 55 минут назад

      If there are funds with cheaper expense ratios then you should choose those but sometimes you're stuck with really high expense ratios and your best option is to only contribute enough to get whatever match is available and put any additional investments in an outside retirement account like Roth IRA or traditional IRA.

    I currently have my TFSA maxed out in a managed account through wealthsimple. The fees are low, but they are starting to add up. I can't remember what the fees are off the top of my head. But, would a target date fund be cheaper than a managed account even though it's also technically managed by someone?

  • @rosanacampos8553
    @rosanacampos8553 4 часа назад

    For high earners who are independent contractors, do you recommend to invest first on a back Roth IRA then in target day funds? Or at the same time? I’m a bit confused about how to invest, but most information out there is for salaried employees that can take advantage of the 401Ks provided by their employer…

    • @kevinmejia3289
      @kevinmejia3289 3 часа назад

      A Roth IRA is just a brokerage account you can contribute to if you meet all the requirements. (the requirements are you can only invest 7k per person a year and your earned income must be under 146k as a single person or 230k married ). A Target date fund is a collection of stocks and bonds that someone is taking a small percentage of your earnings to manage and making the portfolio more bond than stock, as you get closer to retirement. Bonds are safer investments that don’t grow as fast and stocks are more risky investments that grow faster. Personally, I put everything into a mutual fund that tracks the S&P 500 that has really low expense ratios because I am younger and have 20+ years to let it grow. The reason you want a Roth IRA is because it’s a tax advantage account and you pay all the taxes upfront so you won’t be taxed for the earnings later when the tax rate goes up. (As it has done historically.)

      that is how you stay broke and living paycheck to paycheck. If you want to get ahead, you need to think ahead. Put money in savings THEN pay your bills. Anything left after that you can enjoy on yourself (within reason).
      You dont even need to put a lot. Like $100 each paycheck is enough. something to get the ball rolling and build up habits. Little by little and you will pay bills, save money and turn your life around.
