I think after 10k seeing 5 figures in your bank account is a total mind shift for the average person. Most middle class people don't have 1k in their bank account so seeing that 10k sets you on the path🎉
@@VincentChan Yes having 10k mentally signaled to me that although I'm far from rich and have a low income that I'm not struggling anymore and If I'm short on rent or have an emergency that I can cover it. I actually had a 1500 car repair this Summer that I paid cash for because I am against loans and financing. Now I'm on the path to saving another 10
Yeah when I started working,I was surprised by the amount of people who didn't even have 1k in the bank. Like even with all your bills it's easy enough to reach 10k in less then a year & keep increasing the amount.
I gotta disagree, I think middle class people have way more than $1k in the bank. Now people just making the household median in most major cities, those people probs don't. Hell even people just above the poverty or below have more bc they need to budget to survive.
I do the same but I keep them in a HYSA instead of a bank, I only keep like $1000 in the bank. I took financial analysis course to manage my own investments and always updating every now and then by analyzing current market state with and grabbing tips here and there from videos like this one. Closing in to $100K pretty soon in investments and I’m proud of it 😊
Saved my first 10k in 2023. Now my networth is 31k :) I’m 23 and make 50k a year as a forklift driver. I work a lot of OT and save as much as I can. I’ve also been pretty fortunate with my investments.
Dude, you are ballin. Keep building those assets and one day your money is going to work harder than you do! I wish I had 31K at 23. For perspective I probably had around $15k at 23 and now at almost 29 I have $115K in net assets. So if you keep on the course you are on you will 10% of your way to a millionaire before you are 30!
Very similar situation as you, 65k invested now as I've been doing it for 4 years but my first job I did forklift, hit 10k in mid 2021 and because of the bull run saw it run up to 20k around August that same year. As a kid who literally had maybe 2k starting in 2020 I felt rich! After that nothing was the same, and I focused on investing as much as I could. I've had 3 jobs since then and most only payed a little over $20 an hour.
I saved my first 10k and then my basement flooded and my car completed broke and then mt family got 8k in medical expenses and now Im back to square one lol
This is so true. Telling a newly college graduate to concentrate on saving $10k is much more realistic than to say try to build wealth. Your videos are always helpful.

Ive been walking on eggs shells aka paycheck to paycheck since 18 years. 1 year ago at the age of 37 i decided to cutback spending. I reached 10k in savings in June, currently at around $11,150. I didn't realize how the average American didn't have much saved. My stress level has taken a nose dive since saving 10k. Trust me once you reach it, its a game changer
@@SamLee-e3b I felt accomplished but not relaxed because 100K isnt that much money at least where I live. I need to move to a cheaper state and actually have a chance of owning a house
I remember when my bank account hit $10k for the first time. I called my mom to share the news because I was so proud. It really did produce a big mental shift.
This is absolutely true. In 2016 I was homeless for a few months and by the end of 2017 I was stable with about $6k saved due to some remarkable coincidences. The difference in how I felt was unfathomable.
Hit my first 10k 3 years ago. Jump to 40k. Then used that money to buy stock, S&P500 started a side business with $10k, and I used the remainder in high-yield saving accounts.
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies
The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

I'm 21 with 68k in investments working for only 3 years at Publix. For the first year I paid no rent then the last 2 years I have paid $700 a month to my dad who takes care of every other bill. This has allowed me to save almost every bit of my money minus the small things I've wanted for myself.
I told myself when I get 10k I'll get tattoos from a prestigious artist. I hit 10k and said "20k is just 10k away." I hit 20k and thought "20k is close to 50k." I hit 100k and bought a house. I never got the tattoos.
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
One big part is "your new zero". When i first hit 1k i never wanted to be below that again. Hitting 10k does the same. Youll stop hitting zero as you want to avoid feeling broke. But now if you hit zero from a big expence you dont take on debt, you just lose your savings which inflation was eating anyway
I don't make enough for that but if I do really well with my money I can do 1300-1500 a month. My goals though a little different in that I'm just trying to get my dividend payments to net me 1c an hour. Which isn't much but it's a start. Still conscious of the money saving goals that he mentions here though.
A Millionaire acquaintance of mine told me to stop buying so much jewelry, and at least open up my own Jewelry business. Long story short, still don't have the store up, but many jewelry stores online purchase wholesale from me, and I make a living doing that. Prior I ran a cell phone business on ebay that grossed 10k per week and around 400 profit per day, ran a dvd business that did 500/day but Netflix ended that for me long long ago, Lol.

$10,000 is when you really start feeling like your savings and investment strategy is paying off. Every time that number goes up 50% or doubles up, you will get another big dopamine hit. After you hit about 1x to 2x your annual salary in capital you might even have to start forgetting or checking less your accounts or you will lose every drop of motivation you have in your body to work hard 😂😂...that is when you start obsessively dreaming of working part-time, joining quiet-quitting, going for early retirement, and so much more that involves not being the most productive worker out there...just a heads-up. Massive mindset shifts coming with those milestones that you might not even consider possible...for example, money becomes of secondary importance when considering lifestyle choices, it is just not as front-and-center as it was before having that massive financial cushion...also material things sort of lose a bit of shine and hype when you can easily afford them, this also ties up with the mindset shift to less motivation to work hard and chasing endless stacks of money.
i’m in a lost grey zone, i saved up my first 10k and had it stolen from me by someone i thought was a friend, im still in the process of recovering that damage. i had to move out of my home state to somewhere idk anybody and work a job that paid half of what i used to get paid. i have almost no room to save by the end of the month and it’s now september, and i’ve been applying for jobs since october. some days i feel the motivation and other days it’s hard to see light at the end of the tunnel. i think what’s helped keep my stuff slightly together is my self discipline, there’s not much reward from being able to freely save but i guess i’m not homeless still. i think about it everyday on where i can save and how i can save but by the end of the month it was just to make my bills.. it’s a mental roller coaster
I was happy to hit my first 10k last year, im currently sitting at 24k this year. It might be slower growth since I now have my own apartment, but slow and steady (and also aiming for higher wages)
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
First of, great job! But I do have to say that having $1000,000 "doesn't sound like a lot" is actually quite the opposite. Investing $400,000 per year is impossible for most people, but hey, good for you man! I wish I could invest that much. I'm just tackling my student loans while also putting money in my emergency fund.
This is super true man.. started with 10k for an emergency fund after buying a house. Then we just kept going.. today I’m sitting on 160k that I’m continuing to roll over through hard money lending for flips with a partner. Now that I have momentum I’m making about 7-12k every 5-6 months. Literally the opposite of the debt snowball.. financial momentum is the real deal.
It’s similar with pricing, they all usually end with .99 or .95. That HD TV cost 999.99 vs 1000.00 will get people’s psychology mindset towards yes. Great video! 👍
First $10k, then $100k, $250k, $500k then $1M. It’s all about leveling up! It’s 100% possible to do this. We have reached Coast FIRE and only a few years away from full Fire now.
You should be saying “invest” instead of “save”. Savings assumes someone is putting that money in some type of savings account which does not have the type of returns highlighted in the video.
@@jwat3217Constructive criticism is considered complaining now? Also, your point has nothing to do with the specific point in the video that I am criticizing. Perhaps you should enroll back in school?
Nothing beats the involvement of an expert in any business, trade or investment, selfishness and greed held many back and they ended up suffering huge losses, and the crypto market- Currencies are no exception.
OMG! i never thought of this but guys this is real. I 100% remember after hitting 10k it got so much easier to add to that pile rather than take from it. Thanks for sharing Vincent Chan. It really did change things for me and I'm slowly trying to grow it more. the first 2 years I hit 11k - the third year I hit 50k.
There is another important component to why your returns are higher when you have more liquidity: You can take advantage of a very good value offer that pops up: A machine for your business for sale, a cheap investment property, a stock crash. To a penniless investor, missing out because you cant afford anything right now is opportunity cost.
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless
I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured some money in value stocks and digital asset, i accrued over $80K in dividends last year
A mental trick I've used is keeping my checking account within a certain range. If it goes below the target range I do everything I can to cut expenses, and if it goes over it immediately gets invested. The point is to force myself into never being too comfortable. When that surplus always gets invested and you intentionally leave yourself on a tighter budget it's much harder to talk yourself into unnecessary purchases. I also started reoccurring investments and just treat it like another bill. I work as a freelancer btw, so I can have drastically different incomes month to month. This has helped me structure my money and keep me from making dumb decisions after one or two good months.
Saving and investing is really important and this video is really good and will inspired a lot of people. However, i feel like its really important to mention something that a lot of banks and savings motivation videos fail to mention, and that is that inflation takes a huge negative impact in the overall interest return that investments or savings could benefit you. Taking the example of the video, where a 10% interest return per year is mentioned (without considering the risks), is important to consider that you're not actually gaining 10% over your investments or savings. For instance, using the approximate devaluation of the us dollar from 2023 to 2024, which is of 4.5%, you will be actually only making 3.5% in real terms in your investments or savings. So even if you achieve the goal of 10k in 8 years, it will be actually worth $7,495 now, this calculation was made by using approximate inflation rates for each year from the last 8 years. Again, I really liked the video, it’s really good and will help so much people, but I felt that its important to mention this.
After 10 000 in my bank account, all of a sudden, my bank took notice. Tried to "advice" me on possible investments they offer. Too bad for them that those 10k are my emergency fund.
I’m 23 & I hit my first $10k last month while only making $39k/year within 6 months (aggressively saved). Im desperately looking for ways to increase my income but finally hitting the $10k goal is very moving & inspiring. What are some ways I can save more in a faster time frame??
You can try opening a CD account. But if you have capital one,save that money on a performance savings account as you will gain up to 4.25% interest a year and you can take or add money out of there whenever.
Nice video the market trends hint at lower prices, but this could also open doors for smart investments. Despite a possible short-term slump, remember the market's long-term potential. Downturns can be entry points for portfolio expansion. Success lies in informed decisions and strategic planning.

Just keep going. I started with my Roth IRA in 2017. I have maxed it out every year. It's now at $80,000. I'm 32 currently. Don't try to do it all at once, I just kept putting it away every month - and kept increasing it ever year as I got raises.
I'm a little confused on Reason 4. While I understand the greater reward I don't think I understand How its a lower risk. If I invest $10 and the market downturns I can at max loose $10 if im simply buying stocks and funds. But if I invest $10,000 and the market downturns I can at max loose $10,000. So isn't the risk also growing proportionally to the return.
yea that part makes no sense. not sure if he made a mistake or something, only thing i could think of being higher risk is wasting your time and energy in setting up a 10$ investment.
I'm 19 and got my first 10k saved up. From there it's been pretty quick and almost hitting 20k with half a year. The mindset shift a little which present me from spending on useless stuff and start to invest.
I’m 18, with 20000 in saving and 10000-20000 in investments where I have a financial advisor watching over it. My technique was simple, just don’t spend. Spend as little as you can, but remember to enjoy life and spoil yourself once in awhile. I believe in everyone here, enjoy you life’s.
I invested 10% of my income and in 2 years I was at $20k. I upped contribution to 15% and in just a year Im at $31k. My employer also contributed 3%. Im also debt-free excluding my mortgage. If I can do it, you guys can do it! Nose to the grindstone fellas!

Technical analysis is a crucial part of understanding market trends, especially in the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies. Historically, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced significant corrections, often around 30% or more, This pattern offers a valuable insight for strategic planning. Despite these trends, BTC is showing promising signs, potentially breaking through the 60k mark, demonstrating its resilience and potential for growth. While there are external factors, like ETFs, that could influence the market, these elements add to the dynamic nature of crypto....At the heart of this evolution is Aldona Šabanienė, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment.
The current market conditions can be tricky, but having a professional crypto expert ensures that you stay informed and make decisions based on data rather than emotions.
This is absolutely true. Felt like forever to get to 10k. Took me no time to get up to 20k. Paid off my truck which took me down to 10k again. Already back to 13k in a few months.
Had this at the gym when i started (lost over 40 kg over 1 year) When i was less motivated but my "average" was allrdy 1 hour cardio per day.... i didnt go to the gym with "oh no.... now i have to do 1 hour...." i said "Well today i do 20 minutes" When you reach 20 minutes you're not stopping, youre like "ok ok... maybe 10 more is fine." Then you reach 30 "Ah screw it, i do 45.... i can do that" And at 45... "Eh might as well do that last 15 more...." it works. Reaching your goals is much easier if you only "HAVE" to reach 10-15 minutes more... despite doing maybe 1 hours anyway in the end. This works for money-goals too.
I saved 10k at 19but got into a roofing business with a friend and it all went down hill I had to go through my savings but now I’m making over 40 an hour at 20 so I’m re starting this video gave me a boost. Thanks
Currently 26 - have student loan debt but with that factored in have a net worth of 85k - working 60+ hr weeks managed to also save up 40k In cash for a home purchase just gotta stay on the grind to 100k
Nearly made millions by investing 1K last year but I didn't buy the dip I had the good fortune of seeing, in part, due to thinking I might need the money for an emergency. Dip was actually in a project I believed in long-term that looks on track to making millions with the position I already have in it. But the point here is that opportunities are out there if one saves up and looks around (brain frying as research may feel).
My strategy for saving money is i have 2 accounts. I set a minor goal like $1k to reach for the first account and once i reach that goal i get that satisfaction of reaching a goal. after i reach the goal i move the money from the first account into a second one. :)
I managed to save 25k during my undergrad. Now i worked a bit and im doing my masters and have 45k saved. Im hoping the investments stay strong and hopegully can get to 60k saved in a bit...as you said now 100k doesnt seem so impossible
Thanks for the vid, will definitely share this one with my sister, since she is in the early ages of financial proficiency. Just a small pointer: Murphy's law actually states: Whatever can happen will happen. This includes a secuence of negative events, but it applies to a series of positie events just as well. 😊
I hit 10k a year ago in 6 months and was so proud went through hell but did it and then ended up spending it on myself and my patents now restarting with way lower income and way more bills idk if i could even do it in 2 years
I'm 23, making 1900€ a month and save 600 every month, so within the last 10 years I got easily to 30k, and a soon as I'm done with university it gets even easier when you can manage a decent lifestyle
Rumor has it that Master of Digital Business was removed because it reveals too many online business secrets. The author mysteriously vanished, and now the book is only on Borlest. It might not be there long.
I think there is definitely an issue with scale with this idea. My wife and I have had full time jobs in our careers together for less than 2 years and currently have about 75K saved up and a combined roughly 50K in investments. I think the idea of the first 10K can be applied to your first 100K easily as different people are in different brackets and I'm at a point in life where the financial RUclips I'm looking for is more about how to grow and protect my wealth since saving it isn't much of an issue. Some people may not like that, but thats just how things are sometimes. Someone making 50K a year will have a harder time saving 10K than someone making 350K a year.
I work full time and did side hustles and doing great. I got to my first 10k, then in a little over a year it jumped from 10-20-30. Then…. I purchased a house, then a toy, and reinvested more in myself. I’m now below my first goal of 10k. But hoping the investments I’ve made over the summer will be able to get me to around the 20k ish range again before spring this year.
18 and I've saved 10k just now and net worth of about 35k. Working hard at swing trading and working as a stage hand at my local theater to get to 100k.
It took almost ten years to save 10K, then another ten to save 40K. Thing is i just wasnt paying attention to how much my improved habits had contributed to preserving the few small raises i had gotten. Now im scrambling to get it into a retirment fund while balancing the thought its probably netter there, instead of waiting for an emergency that hopefully won't come. There multiple psychological events tgat characterise ones behavior, and at first it was just struggling to not be watseful, but later in life you have to get over that hurdle to not see your potential future as a detrimenral expense, now. Breathing room is nice, but it can also becone an anchor.
8:45 True! Including paying off student debt. I racked up about $98,000 in student loans, so my goal was to pay it off quickly. Most money I got was put in it. What's nice is that through the pandemic, I got forbearance, and it made it easier to pay off my loan! I managed to pay it off in 4 years. Also, thank you, Ramen noodles, for being so cheap through that time, LOL. Now to eat something healthier. 😂
Only saving a couple thousand a year is crazy for me as I grew up being taught to save because life is crazy. If you think about it you could save a lot more if you cut back on things you don’t really need.
I absolutly agree on the small goals. When saving for retirement I found it helpful to break the lump sum into chunks using my personal budget so for example say hulu is 20 bucks so 240 a year so if I save $6000 dollars (using 4% rule) That is much easier to do that save 1million+ which seems unattainable. Do this for all your typical expenses and arrange from smallest to largest

I've had over $10k on my account, and I've been overdrawn. The only thing I realized is having the ability to hop on a plane tomorrow is intoxicating... And that $10k doesn't go very far. But that just means I need to push further.
Saving the 10k was the easy part. Now I'm focused on saving money for my nieces quince (15). Apart from my saved money, 401k, stocks & some money hidden away. I would have not believed myself 5 years ago.

I remember when my bank account hit $10k for the first time. I called my mom to share the news because I was so proud. It really did produce a big mental shift.
This is absolutely true. In 2016 I was homeless for a few months and by the end of 2017 I was stable with about $6k saved due to some remarkable coincidences. The difference in how I felt was unfathomable.
Hit my first 10k 3 years ago. Jump to 40k. Then used that money to buy stock, S&P500 started a side business with $10k, and I used the remainder in high-yield saving accounts.
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies
The key to big returns is not big moving stocks. It's managing risk in relationship to reward. Having the correct size on and turning your edge as many times as necessary to reach your goal. That holds true from long term investing to day trading.
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $80k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
My CFA “Sonya Lee Mitchell” , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
I searched for her full name online, found her page, and sent an email to schedule a meeting. Hopefully, she responds soon. Thank you.
Saved first 10K at 17. Now 21 with 50K saved
i'm 20
Do you have it a stock market or all in saving
Any advice on how to make the first 10k? Did you do it with a traditional job ?
@@Ionaprods.I’m in same position as him yes full time warehouse because I live with my parents
I'm 21 with 68k in investments working for only 3 years at Publix. For the first year I paid no rent then the last 2 years I have paid $700 a month to my dad who takes care of every other bill. This has allowed me to save almost every bit of my money minus the small things I've wanted for myself.
I told myself when I get 10k I'll get tattoos from a prestigious artist. I hit 10k and said "20k is just 10k away." I hit 20k and thought "20k is close to 50k." I hit 100k and bought a house. I never got the tattoos.
This is the one
there's a book called whispers of manifestation on borlest , and it talks about how using some secret tehniques you can attract almost everything in life it's not some bullshit law of attraction, it's the real deal
Where can you find it?
One big part is "your new zero". When i first hit 1k i never wanted to be below that again. Hitting 10k does the same. Youll stop hitting zero as you want to avoid feeling broke. But now if you hit zero from a big expence you dont take on debt, you just lose your savings which inflation was eating anyway
I’m saving $2000 a month right now
Same
We gotta
I don't make enough for that but if I do really well with my money I can do 1300-1500 a month. My goals though a little different in that I'm just trying to get my dividend payments to net me 1c an hour. Which isn't much but it's a start. Still conscious of the money saving goals that he mentions here though.
Same here
A Millionaire acquaintance of mine told me to stop buying so much jewelry, and at least open up my own Jewelry business. Long story short, still don't have the store up, but many jewelry stores online purchase wholesale from me, and I make a living doing that. Prior I ran a cell phone business on ebay that grossed 10k per week and around 400 profit per day, ran a dvd business that did 500/day but Netflix ended that for me long long ago, Lol. I started all of these businesses with $0-$100
You should have bought shares in Netflix back then.
You are a born entrepreneur!!

$10,000 is when you really start feeling like your savings and investment strategy is paying off. Every time that number goes up 50% or doubles up, you will get another big dopamine hit. After you hit about 1x to 2x your annual salary in capital you might even have to start forgetting or checking less your accounts or you will lose every drop of motivation you have in your body to work hard 😂😂...that is when you start obsessively dreaming of working part-time, joining quiet-quitting, going for early retirement, and so much more that involves not being the most productive worker out there...just a heads-up. Massive mindset shifts coming with those milestones that you might not even consider possible...for example, money becomes of secondary importance when considering lifestyle choices, it is just not as front-and-center as it was before having that massive financial cushion...also material things sort of lose a bit of shine and hype when you can easily afford them, this also ties up with the mindset shift to less motivation to work hard and chasing endless stacks of money.
Best comment. You understood it all!
Fair outlook this one!
i’m in a lost grey zone, i saved up my first 10k and had it stolen from me by someone i thought was a friend, im still in the process of recovering that damage. i had to move out of my home state to somewhere idk anybody and work a job that paid half of what i used to get paid. i have almost no room to save by the end of the month and it’s now september, and i’ve been applying for jobs since october. some days i feel the motivation and other days it’s hard to see light at the end of the tunnel. i think what’s helped keep my stuff slightly together is my self discipline, there’s not much reward from being able to freely save but i guess i’m not homeless still. i think about it everyday on where i can save and how i can save but by the end of the month it was just to make my bills..
it’s a mental roller coaster
may god bless you and your path to making that back! Learn from that past experience turn it into a lesson
dont give up, you can do it again,
Sounds like an expensive lesson.
I was happy to hit my first 10k last year, im currently sitting at 24k this year. It might be slower growth since I now have my own apartment, but slow and steady (and also aiming for higher wages)
Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling!
How you’d do it? I have $40k in debt with minimal savings?
First of, great job!
But I do have to say that having $1000,000 "doesn't sound like a lot" is actually quite the opposite. Investing $400,000 per year is impossible for most people, but hey, good for you man!
I wish I could invest that much. I'm just tackling my student loans while also putting money in my emergency fund.
YMAX has a 43% dividend, pays monthly and is highly diversified. YMAX is a Yieldmax ETF
That's totally a great thing that not a lot of people, myself included, can't legitimately claim
wait how did you earn the money to pay all of that?
This is super true man.. started with 10k for an emergency fund after buying a house. Then we just kept going.. today I’m sitting on 160k that I’m continuing to roll over through hard money lending for flips with a partner. Now that I have momentum I’m making about 7-12k every 5-6 months. Literally the opposite of the debt snowball.. financial momentum is the real deal.
I like high yeild savings accounts, when you make a few thousand a year in intrest it makes saving 10k very easy!!
It’s similar with pricing, they all usually end with .99 or .95. That HD TV cost 999.99 vs 1000.00 will get people’s psychology mindset towards yes. Great video! 👍
exactly! did you learn anything new from the video?
@@VincentChan - it’s a refresher video.
First $10k, then $100k, $250k, $500k then $1M. It’s all about leveling up! It’s 100% possible to do this. We have reached Coast FIRE and only a few years away from full Fire now.
I can't wait to retire, but far from it at 36.
You should be saying “invest” instead of “save”. Savings assumes someone is putting that money in some type of savings account which does not have the type of returns highlighted in the video.
You could make your own videos instead of complaining. Everyone’s path is different.
@@jwat3217Constructive criticism is considered complaining now? Also, your point has nothing to do with the specific point in the video that I am criticizing. Perhaps you should enroll back in school?
You gotta save & invest at same time. Life isnt all about investing in markets
It doesn't assume anything. You assumed that.
@@Andrew-it7fb go back to school because you clearly never learned to pay attention.
I’m at 10k but working on paying off a debt before I really start investing and saving even more , thanks for this video!
Nothing beats the involvement of an expert in any business, trade or investment, selfishness and greed held many back and they ended up suffering huge losses, and the crypto market- Currencies are no exception.
I agree because most people I know complain about losses due to poor market analysis and recent bear market situations
Which professional would you recommend? I'm new to the world of cryptocurrency and I really need an expert to guide me.

OMG! i never thought of this but guys this is real. I 100% remember after hitting 10k it got so much easier to add to that pile rather than take from it. Thanks for sharing Vincent Chan. It really did change things for me and I'm slowly trying to grow it more. the first 2 years I hit 11k - the third year I hit 50k.
Nice video! Same logic and math as the $100k rule we hear all the time, but much more approachable and attainable. I like it! Keep up the good work :)
thank jack appreciate it
There is another important component to why your returns are higher when you have more liquidity: You can take advantage of a very good value offer that pops up: A machine for your business for sale, a cheap investment property, a stock crash. To a penniless investor, missing out because you cant afford anything right now is opportunity cost.
19 years old and I just reached my first £10,000 I currently have 2 investments (ISA + Premium Bonds) which i'm planning on diversifying soon!
Man I’ve been trying to save up to 10k but everytime a new semester rolls around, that private institution tuition drains my bank account
I'd say $100,000 as a big vacation or buying a car puts a dent in $10K and $100,000 makes those seem like less of a hit.
Right, definitely less of a hit.
That's not wrong but I think that misses the point. Imagine that hit with no savings :-o
My advice to new investors: Buy good companies stocks and hold them as long as they are good companies. Just do this and ignore the forecasts and market views which are at best entertaining but completely useless
Tesla?
I had my share of ups and downs when I first started looking for a consistent passive income so I hired an expert advisor for aid, and following her advice, I poured some money in value stocks and digital asset, i accrued over $80K in dividends last year
A mental trick I've used is keeping my checking account within a certain range. If it goes below the target range I do everything I can to cut expenses, and if it goes over it immediately gets invested. The point is to force myself into never being too comfortable. When that surplus always gets invested and you intentionally leave yourself on a tighter budget it's much harder to talk yourself into unnecessary purchases. I also started reoccurring investments and just treat it like another bill.
I work as a freelancer btw, so I can have drastically different incomes month to month. This has helped me structure my money and keep me from making dumb decisions after one or two good months.
Saving and investing is really important and this video is really good and will inspired a lot of people. However, i feel like its really important to mention something that a lot of banks and savings motivation videos fail to mention, and that is that inflation takes a huge negative impact in the overall interest return that investments or savings could benefit you.
Taking the example of the video, where a 10% interest return per year is mentioned (without considering the risks), is important to consider that you're not actually gaining 10% over your investments or savings. For instance, using the approximate devaluation of the us dollar from 2023 to 2024, which is of 4.5%, you will be actually only making 3.5% in real terms in your investments or savings.
So even if you achieve the goal of 10k in 8 years, it will be actually worth $7,495 now, this calculation was made by using approximate inflation rates for each year from the last 8 years.
Again, I really liked the video, it’s really good and will help so much people, but I felt that its important to mention this.
After 10 000 in my bank account, all of a sudden, my bank took notice.
Tried to "advice" me on possible investments they offer.
Too bad for them that those 10k are my emergency fund.
put your money in a high yield savings account
I’m 23 & I hit my first $10k last month while only making $39k/year within 6 months (aggressively saved). Im desperately looking for ways to increase my income but finally hitting the $10k goal is very moving & inspiring.
What are some ways I can save more in a faster time frame??
You can try opening a CD account. But if you have capital one,save that money on a performance savings account as you will gain up to 4.25% interest a year and you can take or add money out of there whenever.
Put the 10k into a high yield savings. Start investing at your current savings rate in index funds/etf's
That’s how I set goals for myself, completely small goals adds up, definitely works
Nice video the market trends hint at lower prices, but this could also open doors for smart investments. Despite a possible short-term slump, remember the market's long-term potential. Downturns can be entry points for portfolio expansion. Success lies in informed decisions and strategic planning. Thanks to Shea Ardolf’s insights, daily trade signals, and my dedication to learning, I've been increasing my daily earnings. Kudos to the journey ahead!

Investing in Bitcoin is the wisest asset to be in, not trying to shit on other stocks, it just won’t outperform Bitcoin over pretty much any long time horizon…reality over feelings!!

Just keep going. I started with my Roth IRA in 2017. I have maxed it out every year. It's now at $80,000. I'm 32 currently. Don't try to do it all at once, I just kept putting it away every month - and kept increasing it ever year as I got raises.
I'm a little confused on Reason 4. While I understand the greater reward I don't think I understand How its a lower risk. If I invest $10 and the market downturns I can at max loose $10 if im simply buying stocks and funds. But if I invest $10,000 and the market downturns I can at max loose $10,000. So isn't the risk also growing proportionally to the return.
yea that part makes no sense. not sure if he made a mistake or something, only thing i could think of being higher risk is wasting your time and energy in setting up a 10$ investment.
I'm 19 and got my first 10k saved up. From there it's been pretty quick and almost hitting 20k with half a year. The mindset shift a little which present me from spending on useless stuff and start to invest.
I’m 18, with 20000 in saving and 10000-20000 in investments where I have a financial advisor watching over it. My technique was simple, just don’t spend. Spend as little as you can, but remember to enjoy life and spoil yourself once in awhile. I believe in everyone here, enjoy you life’s.
Reason 4: Your risk grows in proportion to the amount you put in
I invested 10% of my income and in 2 years I was at $20k. I upped contribution to 15% and in just a year Im at $31k. My employer also contributed 3%.
Im also debt-free excluding my mortgage. If I can do it, you guys can do it! Nose to the grindstone fellas!
Massage chair is the gift that keeps on giving -
A 45 min massage is like 80 bucks plus tip - let’s say 100
Massage chair probably 1k
You just have to use the chair everyday after work for a year and the price per massage is $2.70 if you us it more than an 45min it’s even less. Causing less mental and emotional stress to help you start living happier thinking more clearly and in turn making smarter financial decisions. Seems worth it to me.
Lol love the video keep up the good work

Love how you took the 100k that everyone does and made it more reasonable for most Americans
Business doing 10k/month at the moment ontop of my job. It’s taught me ham to spend money to make money, rather than save. Taking risks has been the best thing I’ve ever done.

Technical analysis is a crucial part of understanding market trends, especially in the dynamic world of cryptocurrencies. Historically, Bitcoin (BTC) has experienced significant corrections, often around 30% or more, This pattern offers a valuable insight for strategic planning. Despite these trends, BTC is showing promising signs, potentially breaking through the 60k mark, demonstrating its resilience and potential for growth. While there are external factors, like ETFs, that could influence the market, these elements add to the dynamic nature of crypto....At the heart of this evolution is Aldona Šabanienė, whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment.

The market has gone berserk! whether you're a newbie or a veteran trader, everyone needs a sort of coach at some point to thrive forward.
Nice info, i appreciate your concern this will help a lot especially to the young investors who have no or lesser knowledge on how the market works.
The current market conditions can be tricky, but having a professional crypto expert ensures that you stay informed and make decisions based on data rather than emotions.
Still working on $1
This is absolutely true. Felt like forever to get to 10k. Took me no time to get up to 20k. Paid off my truck which took me down to 10k again. Already back to 13k in a few months.
Good teaching. Mindset change is key to even saving $10K or $20K.
im at 413k not too bad soon hitting the 500k mark in 2 years
For me it was 1k, 2.5k, 5k, 10k, 12.5k
Got a job at Yosemite and worked everyday ( literally 90 hours a week) saved 10k in less than 2 months. Next goal is 50k.
I was given 30k but I have self control and discipline. Been adding to it for a while now.
I had this feeling when my savings surpassed 5k. now I am at almost 14k, still going strong.
Had this at the gym when i started (lost over 40 kg over 1 year)
When i was less motivated but my "average" was allrdy 1 hour cardio per day.... i didnt go to the gym with "oh no.... now i have to do 1 hour...."
i said "Well today i do 20 minutes"
When you reach 20 minutes you're not stopping, youre like "ok ok... maybe 10 more is fine."
Then you reach 30
"Ah screw it, i do 45.... i can do that"
And at 45...
"Eh might as well do that last 15 more...."
it works.
Reaching your goals is much easier if you only "HAVE" to reach 10-15 minutes more... despite doing maybe 1 hours anyway in the end. This works for money-goals too.
I saved 10k at 19but got into a roofing business with a friend and it all went down hill I had to go through my savings but now I’m making over 40 an hour at 20 so I’m re starting this video gave me a boost. Thanks
Currently 26 - have student loan debt but with that factored in have a net worth of 85k - working 60+ hr weeks managed to also save up 40k In cash for a home purchase just gotta stay on the grind to 100k
When your referring to the 10% return in the stock market are you referring to domestic stock or another form of investing?
Halfway there, 5 saved, 5 invested. Had absolutely nothing in April of this year.
Currently at 13k and keeping strong 🔥🔥
Nearly made millions by investing 1K last year but I didn't buy the dip I had the good fortune of seeing, in part, due to thinking I might need the money for an emergency. Dip was actually in a project I believed in long-term that looks on track to making millions with the position I already have in it. But the point here is that opportunities are out there if one saves up and looks around (brain frying as research may feel).
From $1 to $10,000 it’s like 10,000x but once you pass that 10k to 100k it’s just 10x. No need for 10,000x anymore
My strategy for saving money is i have 2 accounts. I set a minor goal like $1k to reach for the first account and once i reach that goal i get that satisfaction of reaching a goal. after i reach the goal i move the money from the first account into a second one. :)
I managed to save 25k during my undergrad. Now i worked a bit and im doing my masters and have 45k saved. Im hoping the investments stay strong and hopegully can get to 60k saved in a bit...as you said now 100k doesnt seem so impossible
Just hit 10k at 22 years old. Saving was the best thing I ever did.
Thanks for the vid, will definitely share this one with my sister, since she is in the early ages of financial proficiency.
Just a small pointer: Murphy's law actually states: Whatever can happen will happen. This includes a secuence of negative events, but it applies to a series of positie events just as well. 😊
I hit 10k a year ago in 6 months and was so proud went through hell but did it and then ended up spending it on myself and my patents now restarting with way lower income and way more bills idk if i could even do it in 2 years
The intro had me hooked in!! I never thought of it this way Thank you
I'm 23, making 1900€ a month and save 600 every month, so within the last 10 years I got easily to 30k, and a soon as I'm done with university it gets even easier when you can manage a decent lifestyle
Rumor has it that Master of Digital Business was removed because it reveals too many online business secrets. The author mysteriously vanished, and now the book is only on Borlest. It might not be there long.
Would you put this into a savings account or an investment account such as investing into the s&p
I think there is definitely an issue with scale with this idea. My wife and I have had full time jobs in our careers together for less than 2 years and currently have about 75K saved up and a combined roughly 50K in investments. I think the idea of the first 10K can be applied to your first 100K easily as different people are in different brackets and I'm at a point in life where the financial RUclips I'm looking for is more about how to grow and protect my wealth since saving it isn't much of an issue.
Some people may not like that, but thats just how things are sometimes. Someone making 50K a year will have a harder time saving 10K than someone making 350K a year.
I work full time and did side hustles and doing great. I got to my first 10k, then in a little over a year it jumped from 10-20-30.
Then…. I purchased a house, then a toy, and reinvested more in myself. I’m now below my first goal of 10k. But hoping the investments I’ve made over the summer will be able to get me to around the 20k ish range again before spring this year.
18 and I've saved 10k just now and net worth of about 35k. Working hard at swing trading and working as a stage hand at my local theater to get to 100k.
15k savings, 15k in banked up PTO that I can cash out when needed, 18k in investment account, 10k in metals. 164k in 401k. Still feel behind.
Why everything changes after 1 000 000, Why everything changes after 100 000, why everything changes after 10 000, why everything changes after 1000, why everything changes after 100, why everything changes after 10
I’ve 2 CDs a 5K as well as a 1K is there any way to grow it safely I’ll be honest I really like dividends but I’m just not sure any advice?
It took almost ten years to save 10K, then another ten to save 40K. Thing is i just wasnt paying attention to how much my improved habits had contributed to preserving the few small raises i had gotten. Now im scrambling to get it into a retirment fund while balancing the thought its probably netter there, instead of waiting for an emergency that hopefully won't come.
There multiple psychological events tgat characterise ones behavior, and at first it was just struggling to not be watseful, but later in life you have to get over that hurdle to not see your potential future as a detrimenral expense, now. Breathing room is nice, but it can also becone an anchor.
8:45 True! Including paying off student debt. I racked up about $98,000 in student loans, so my goal was to pay it off quickly. Most money I got was put in it. What's nice is that through the pandemic, I got forbearance, and it made it easier to pay off my loan! I managed to pay it off in 4 years.
Also, thank you, Ramen noodles, for being so cheap through that time, LOL. Now to eat something healthier. 😂
Only saving a couple thousand a year is crazy for me as I grew up being taught to save because life is crazy. If you think about it you could save a lot more if you cut back on things you don’t really need.
I absolutly agree on the small goals. When saving for retirement I found it helpful to break the lump sum into chunks using my personal budget so for example say hulu is 20 bucks so 240 a year so if I save $6000 dollars (using 4% rule) That is much easier to do that save 1million+ which seems unattainable. Do this for all your typical expenses and arrange from smallest to largest

9:39 great advice everyone should know.
Your content is always so much more relatable, relevant, and most of all ENJOYABLE to those who need the wisdom than other financial help videos I've watched. It is amazing to see how vastly improved in terms of style and clarity your videos are compared to when you started out a few years ago. Well done!
You are probably missing the “don’t make the same video 10,000 times rule”
I've had over $10k on my account, and I've been overdrawn. The only thing I realized is having the ability to hop on a plane tomorrow is intoxicating... And that $10k doesn't go very far. But that just means I need to push further.
Intoxicating ?
My advice : spend 5k in travels and find an idea. Then use 5k as an investment to start a company. 100k might come in 2 years. Don't let money sleep.
Saving the 10k was the easy part. Now I'm focused on saving money for my nieces quince (15).
Apart from my saved money, 401k, stocks & some money hidden away.
I would have not believed myself 5 years ago.
How is the risk of investing 10$ the same as the risk of investing 10000$
