    I just sold a property in Portland and I'm thinking to put the cash in stocks, I know everyone is saying its ripe enough, but Is this a good time to buy stocks? How long until a full recovery? How are other people in the same market raking in over $450k gains with months, I'm really just confused at this point.

      diversifying your investments is the safest way to handle it. One way to lessen the effects of a market crisis is to distribute investments over a variety of asset classes, such as international equities, bonds, and real estate. It's critical to look for expert advice.

      A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

    How to get $10 per day at any age. Quit smoking, quit drinking, shop for cheaper insurance (any type of insurance), cut cable, cut streaming services, shop at Aldi, make your own meals, get a different job, ask for a raise, get a side hustle. Turn down the heat by a degree or two, raise the a/c by a few degrees, pay off debts, buy a older less expensive car that will lower insurance and taxes, stop buying unnecessary stuff, lessen your travel budget (there are many ways to do this). Stop buying meals out, stop getting the daily coffee out. The list goes on and on.

    You can spot the doomers by the comments on this video: "BUT $1 MILLION WILL ONLY BE WORTH $250K WHEN YOU'RE 78!" First, these numbers already factor inflation in. Second, what's the alternative? To sit around and leave disaffected comments on youtube? If you want to become a millionaire before your 50s or 60s, start a business. Negotiate your salary. Find a new job. I show you how to do every one of those things at iwt.com/products. But you can't do any of those if you sit around trying to leave "gotcha" comments about inflation (which you're wrong about anyway). I share my material because I believe everyone should live a Rich Life. You can even do it with a low wage! But you have to start to take control of your own finances and not wait for things to change on their own.

      I love that: What's the alternative??
      I started getting serious about money about 20 years ago. My husband and I only started jointly earning $100k a couple of years ago. We're now jointly a quiet millionaire, with none of our net worth in real estate or cars. This is after annuitizing a chunk of our capital a year ago. He'd fully retired, I'm soft retired. I like my job and the 10-15 hours a week I work gives me mental stimulation, a sense of satisfaction with each project, and extra income.
      We did nothing flashy or clever. We've used our 403(bs), ROTHs, Traditional ITAs, cd ladder, and savings account. Boring! Boring is excellent.

    Hey Ramit. Love your content!
    So in the video, the example used was having an annual salary of $50k to become a millionaire. However, the thumbnail shows a wage of $9/hr which equates to $18,720 annually ($1560/month). Unless someone has absolutely no financial obligations, it's going to be very improbable for someone to invest and build wealth with that income. With $50k/year ($24/hr), it's much more probable to invest the way that was suggested. Salary definitely plays a role on not only how fast someone builds wealth but even if it is possible to do so.

    solid video sir. i agree with everything in the video, but i think you miss a key way to leapfrog years ahead & increase your savings rate. if/when you get some extra money like the stimulus money, tax returns, a bonus from work, etc. you should invest 100% of it and jump ahead of your savings rate by a significant amount(for a low earner this can be huge!). example, if you invest $400 a month then get a $4k bonus it is a ten month jump that compounds and that one move makes your yearly contribution double.

    I like that you put the return assumptions and rate assumptions. And I liked that you used a more conservative percentage. At the start of my career, I looked at the lifetime returns of the lifecycle funds offered at my university. None of them reached 7%, and I’m pretty sure those were the nominal returns, not inflation adjusted. Lifecycle funds are almost never all equities, especially in the latter half of the worker’s tenure and the market average people tend to refer to is stock market, not bond market. Long story short, I ultimately decided to only leave a portion in my lifecycle and put the other portion towards something more representative of the stock market.

    Here in Australia, it's the law for employers to give 11% of your weekly wages in 401k contribution. So, if you earn $2000 before tax, your employer must contribute an extra $220 to your 401k portfolio without wage sacrifice.

    Great videos and keep the good work up! I keep wondering on why leverage is treated so badly and never mentioned in your path to wealth. Leverage, when used appropriately, can make a huge difference to the timeline. Wouldn’t it be prudent that the people that want to become a millionaire should spend some time learning to use leverage; be it buying a condo and renting out the second bedroom or getting a small margin loan to increase high conviction potential investments? At all times you should be ready for the worst case situation, but missing out on this great tool just because it’s risky is something that I can’t fathom.

    Good work Ramit. I have been watching your videos lately because I like the idea of creating that guilt free spending room in my budget. I see when you are recommending set percentages for savings, fixed, investment etc but it is based on GROSS income. For someone like me taxes can be about 22-32% of my gross. How does that affect your recommendations?

    three tips on how to become a millionaire on a low salary:
    Budget Wisely: Prioritize saving and invest any extra income wisely. Cut unnecessary expenses and live below your means. Consistently saving even small amounts can add up over time.
    Increase Income Streams: Look for opportunities to boost your income outside of your primary job. This could include freelancing, starting a side business, or investing in passive income streams like real estate or stocks.
    Continuous Learning: Invest in your education and skills development to increase your earning potential. Take advantage of free or low-cost resources such as online courses, workshops, and networking opportunities to expand your knowledge and expertise.

    You're discussing the prevalence of deceptive gurus in the realm of dropshipping. Dropshipping serves as an initial means to assess a product's market viability. Once its demand is established, entrepreneurs typically transition to a more traditional e-commerce model where they maintain inventory. Moreover, many dropshippers diversify their investments beyond e-commerce, venturing into stock markets and real estate as well.
