    My grandmother told me to put half of all money incoming into savings. Never buy on credit. SAVE to buy a new car. SAVE to buy a house. She always paid cash, lived through the S.F. Earthquake, the Depression, both World Wars, was a single mom/widow and traveled the world. Died a millionaire at 90. Amazing life she had.

    Building wealth from nothing involves consistent saving, disciplined spending, and strategic investments. Begin by creating a budget to track expenses and identify areas for savings. Prioritize paying off high-interest debt and establishing an emergency fund. As you build a foundation, start investing in low-cost options like index funds, and focus on continuous learning and improving your skills for better income opportunities.

    1:40 $50/day for 20 years. You’re right man, super simple, because every 40 year old that hasn’t started saving yet has no problem coming up with an extra $1500 a month!! Who knew it was so easy?!

      Emerson I think he ment working days... so $50/day at 20 work days per month is $1000 a month.... looking at most Americans situation, that not common... about 1/2 the population in America struggles to come up with $1000 for an emergency, even $500 is hard for about 40% of people...that’s not good .

    • @thund3rstruck
      @thund3rstruck 5 лет назад +4

      To be fair, $50 per day is only $18K per year. The 401K contribution limit is $19K and every 40 year old should be secure enough in their career where they are able to max out that 401K contribution.

    I admire the financial independence of people, But you can live better if you work a little more. After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me, retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income-generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum. I plan to work until I'm at least 45

I'm 38 and there's never been a time in my life where finding a job wasn't a soul destroying, all-out struggle. I've held on to the job I do have for 11 years now, but it's seasonal and low paying. Barely surviving on unemployment right now. Save money? Yeah.

      When I was a kid we opened a Bank Savings Account when we were in grade school. Learning how to save should start as soon as you learn how to spend/count money. Starts with a piggy bank and not having to buy everything you want on any given week. Or day. It's called self-control.

      If you can, then start in your 20s. Not sure if social security will be around when you're able to retire. Also, expenses go up every year. Those 70 year olds probably had less expenses than you or I will.

    If you have 1.18 million, you should be able to live on the interest for the rest of your life, not 30 years. Maintain a 4% rate of return during that time, and $40,000 should be easy, without touching the principle.

      I know one person at my work place. She is over 50 years old and said she couldn't save.
      She said she rather had fun in her younger days and still wants fun in her current age. She now has a 20 years old kid but she wants to use the incoming money for traveling.
      That's why she has not that much savings or none (according to her).

      I have around 54k saved and a paid off car thats only 2 yrs old but $0 in retirement accounts or 401k's, the reason is because I was hoping to put a 20% down payment on a house and hopefully have a 100% paid off house by the time that I retire at age 65-70 but in the area where I live the real estate market has gotten so crazy expensive ($250k - $300k+) for starter homes from the 1950's - 1980's that I decided to just keep saving and hope that real estate prices normalize back down to $150k to 200k for starter homes, if they dont normalize by the time I have around 100k cash saved up then I will just take the 100k cash I have saved and move further up north to an area where brand new construction houses are $125k to $180k. I can get a 10-15 yr loan to pay off the 25k-50k that I need to finance to finish paying the house putting 100k down, ill probably save some of the 100k too in case I lose my job or something. I'm not 40 yet though, im about to be 35 next month.
