    Thank you for this. I'm 67 years old and still ride my bicycle to the grocery store, not because I'm poor, but because I enjoy it. Yes, I'm frugal, but I like the exercise part of this activity. I have a nice home and car, no debt, and am one of those millionaires next door. With a little discipline it can be done.

    • @ezmaass
      @ezmaass 11 месяцев назад +2

      There's no pain free secret formula for it, unfortunately. It simply comes down to allocating more of your income to investments. Only you'll know where that can be done, but it's often not cutting out a cup of coffee (the financial advice cliche). It may be few but large sweeping changes, like moving to a less expensive home if applicable. At 46, you'll need likely double the recommended savings rate to effectively catch up.
      For example, if you make $100k/year, and you're following the 4% safe withdrawal rate rule (extract no more than 4% of your portfolio, adjusted for inflation), that would mean you need roughly $2.5M saved. Well, in order to get to $2.5M in the next ~20 years (age 66), you'd need to save about 40% ($40k/year), which would bring you to around $2.2M from your starting point of $75k and assuming an 8% annual return. I don't like to count on social security, but you might assume that it can make up the difference here... and then some (if it remains intact).
      Alternatively, in this scenario, working longer (until 70) could mean putting in a more modest $30k (30%), and then achieving $2.8M over that time horizon. Theoretically, it could be lowered further to account for a larger social security pay-out at 70 years old, too. But, there's a huge risk in assuming you CAN work until 70 years old - most people have reasons why they stop working well before this point, with an average retirement age of 62.
      In short, you likely need to substantially increase your contributions as a starting point - 30% might be a good target. Some of this may come from an employer match, and if your salary won't allow for it to all be saved pre-tax (401k / 403b limits), then going to after-tax or an IRA makes sense, too. Second, make sure you're aggressively invested. This isn't the "normal" advice for someone going into later working years - you typically want to dial down equity exposure the closer you get to retirement, ending somewhere around the "ideal" 60/40 allocation between equities and bonds/fixed-income, but in your case, you're going to need as many high growth years as possible - which means more equity exposure. Make sure you're using simple, passive, low-cost investments like S&P 500 or total market ETFs... NOT actively managed mutual funds, which will charge more in fees and under-perform to boot. You need to maximize your annual return, and those fees and under-performance can cost you big in the long run.
      Best of luck - there's still time to get it right, but it's going to mean much bigger sacrifice at this point in your life. You'll likely need to get creative to lower expenses in meaningful ways OR raise your income in an equally meaningful way. Just be aware, that while earning more is a good thing, keeping expenses higher means your retirement income (and portfolio) needs to be higher to maintain that standard of living, too.

    Making choices like those counselled by Dr. Stanley's book is to commit to being counter-cultural. The burden of living in a capitalist, consumer society is that not only do we need money to maintain our lives, but we are addressed constantly by advertising and marketing that draws on a century of consumer behaviour research to transform who we are and what we value in life into commodities. We are socialized into all this, before we are aware of it, and thus to succeed at money (and life) have to deprogram ourselves. That takes opportunity, information and motivation. My own experience of being counter-cultural involved minimalism, getting a decent education, overall financial literacy, and specifically learning to save aggressively and invest via dividend stocks and ETFs. Thanks for the patient teaching on your channel, Tae!

    This book is educational and was in some areas really surprising to me. I have used the information to great effect. I am 58 and on my third car - a 4 cylinder Toyota Tacoma 2-door truck with only automatic transmission and AC as options I purchased it 19 years ago and it has only 99,000 miles on it. Everything else on the truck is manual because that is less that can break. I just recently had to replace the original belts and hoses because they were old. It gets me back and forth to work each day. My wife and I love Toyota.

    One of the best video's on this I have seen. Sadly, most people succumb to advertising and try to look wealth. They also find finance "boring", but want to be wealthy. It's fine to splurge on things every once and awhile, but the lifestyle of living frugally is good. I'd rather have financial freedom of my money working for me, rather than my having to go out and work for my money. (I retired at 56) The freedom of buying what I want, when I want, but actually not buying much. Not having to save for things, as the savings are automatic because of our lifestyle. We live below our means and are HAPPY! (what a concept) We live in a townhouse, but in a nice area. (Always buy the cheapest house in a good area.) I like sports cars and bought myself a Porsche 911...used...base model. We contribute a lot to charities, secretly. I am the multi-millionaire next door, but you wouldn't know it.

    So, this book is simply another pop self-help book on the list of to read but not buy for me. I didn't read the book but listened to the audiobook. It has good stories and stats to really get deep into I must say.
    Watching this video made me just recall from another self-help business book that I read in 2013. It is all obvious what kind of book I am going to read though so this video was useful.

    The talk about not being "cheap" but frugal also boils down to the fact that most wealthy people "cry only once" - they'll spend (sometimes substantially) more to get better quality in whatever they buy and keep it for longer. The example I use is they may buy a new refrigerator (after their old one costs too much to repair) and spend more for a model that should last much longer than the "latest / greatest" one with an LCD screen and that makes ice spheres. Wealthy people also understand that time is NOT money - time is worth way more than money and anything they can hire out to free up their time for more important (and lucrative) activities they will - I really love to mow my lawn but it doesn't make me money or compared to what I pay to have the grass cut I can earn more in that 75 minutes.

    I tick on most of these. I am a sucker for a nice car though (but don’t use finance). Marry well, that’s an interesting one. I did in some senses in financial terms as she is a very hard worker and has a good job, she has a competitive outlook like I do but she’s also a spender. So as I’m so frugal (overall) this can lead to some ‘discussions’. Nice video and summary :)

About 6 months later, I asked her if she was still enjoying her BMW as much as I was enjoying my Golf. She said she missed her Camry.

    Great summary of a great book. I was still in school when TMND came out and saw it at Barnes and Noble one day after work. I ended up reading the whole book right there. The lessons in that book have never left me.
    As I’ve gotten older, I spend much more time doing things that I want to do. A good life really is freedom and good relationships, not how much cool stuff you can get. It would have been very difficult to realize that if I had climbed aboard the Hedonic treadmill.
    P.S. I bought the book and have gifted many copies. It really is that good!
