@BuildingBread Would it make sense in my 30s for allocating like a 70/30 mix more so in bonds as of right now, then when things get better, back to 70/30 S&P? Then do that same cycle when this happens again? So as to feather in a stable bond profit amount to reach retirement. Late 401k start with a heavy S&P side.
@@mextamacion1097 Great question. History has shown us that if you're in your 30s and you have a 70/30 mix, it is best to stick with it. I can do a video explainer on my channel if its helpful.
it’s so refreshing to see a financial expert/advisor actually clearly verbalize that they believe the system is rigged to benefit the rich! thank you for not gaslighting as so many in the field do.
Yes. I think the only thing that aged poorly was "food prices are high because there are too many dollars chasing too few goods" because now we've had time for supermarkets and the brands they sell to admit they were colluding to raise prices above inflation.
Talking finances with people to be very emotionally charged. This guys charisma and presentation style really helps defuse that. If I was in the market for a financial advisor, this guy would make me feel confident and calm.
The system isn't rigged. Less wealthy people can also take advantage of capital gains. What he didnt say was that if you raise capital gains, there will be less investment and surprise...fewer jobs. The closest it is "rigged" for rich people is they have enough money to hire financial experts to put their money in low taxable areas. This is not the system being rigged, it's smart money management.
As someone who's been investing for over 20 years, this guy's answers are all 100% correct... he does a great job explaining it to people who might not understand it as well
What I've spent in years trying to understand some of these talking points, this guy explained in 15 minutes. This was so easy to digest and understand. Please bring him back for a part 2+!
Talking about money and savings etc is usually such a stressful time for me that I tend to avoid it. This video came on autoplay but I'm so glad it did! Thank you for such digestible information without the added pressure and "you should be doing better/understand all this" attitude that I seem to see a lot of the time.
I am 26 and felt that there is a huge room for improvement for my financial literacy. Certainly not easy when you always have your wants and it is insatiable at times 😭🤣☕
Hi! I love when people in their 20’s start taking deeper looks into their finances. RUclips has some great resources that are totally free to get you started on understanding financial concepts. My faves are “2 Cents,” produced by PBS; Tiffany Aliche aka The Budgetnista (she has a book and a Netflix documentary out now); and The Financial Diet with Chelsea Fagan. I hope these are useful to you! 💛
Love his response, all the anti-college sentiment is going to get a lot of people stuck in dead end jobs and unfulfilled business ventures in life. College is way too expensive but community college is cheaper and can get you great opportunities
3:54 This is the most concise explanation of this particular concept I’ve heard. It also explains why rich folks who’s stocks tank end up brankrupt. Well done.
holy crap, this guy is dropping serious nuggets of wisdom for the average person. i took actual notes. Normally the money convo is scary but this made me want to take action. GG
I was watching this so hard. I’m a 22 year old women. I have a good job that pays well but I feel like I’m not using my money wisely. Money talk confuses me and honestly scares me. I keep thinking about that lately. Hopefully I will make it through!
You will make it through! It may take a little time, but it’s worth it! Think of it as investing in yourself and your joy 😊 I love it when people start learning about finances! It's never too early or too late! RUclips has some great resources that are totally free to get you started on understanding financial concepts. My faves are "2 Cents," produced by PBS; Tiffany Aliche aka The Budgetnista (she has a book and a Netflix documentary out now); and The Financial Diet with Chelsea Fagan.

I read "The Simple Path to Wealth" by JL Collins, and it helped me to be less afraid of investing. I am now investing in index funds, as the book suggests. I highly recommend giving it a read!
I love being educated in a way that makes topics comfortable and easy to understand. I’ve always had a personal problem with being money motivated or having a “hustler’s mentality”. But I’m super creative and smart so I feel obligated to try and monetize myself and become more business minded… I’m just an artist at the end of the day
Thank you for explaining these concepts in the most simple way. I usually have a hard time trying to explain these things because compounding interest, and explaining tax breaks can be challenging.
My high school professor gave some very good advice on how much loan is worth taking for college: if your loan is less than or equal to the annual salary of your future job, taking that loan is worth it, otherwise its not.
Give this man a RUclips channel omg he’s so good at explaining these concepts in a way that not only makes sense but motivates me to act! Redoing my budget now since mama ain’t having fun with my money haha
Yeah 50 30 20 is a standard budget. That's been true since my freaking parents were in grade school. My question to you is what do you do when roughly 90% of your income is household expenses.
he made his answers so clear and understandable. I felt like I could listen to him break down difficult subject matter into easy bites allll day! Thank you for creating accessibility to this knowledge area :)
There are financial management classes in a lot of high schools nowadays. Especially for kids going straight into the workforce or those who choose to not take advanced math courses. Kids just looking for a third math credit to graduate that aren't planning on college usually take a personal finance class.
My brother, you are the man. Thank you thank you so much for this video. Lord, knowledge is the key it's a lot of folks don't know this million dollar advice you giving man. I'm 45 years old and I'm just not learning this stuff. This is a blessing. Thank you so much again bro and you be blessed.....
So glad to see someone clarifying that ROI for a college degree comes in the long term. Many people won’t see the value because they look at the short term. Definitely agree that you shouldn’t be breaking the bank to go to college but since most of us will live past age 32 it’s still a great investment
Honestly talking about fineances and money can be scary. Realistic and sad money is how people survive and live. Some are lucky and sadly some are not lucky. Not everyone has money for a roof over head and food on the table so it can be scary. But not gonna lie he makes talking about money and fineances comforting.
Hard to tell if this is the right platform for this. But ill try anyways as this is still considered business. Given the present conditions, is it better to invest into Real Estates or into Stocks? Which would yield better output.
Very sound advise! I have been into both for long and though I won't say I have lost a fortune, I have squandered quite alot... If it's not a problem, do you mind recommending the pro you worked with? I could definitely use the help of one right now... I look forward to your reply...
This right here is the second time I am coming across this name in a week. Came to my school for a lesson and it was lit and yes, she has a really cute southern accent.
Been doing this for years it works so well! If you can, Set up a second checking and have your check send the 50 to one for bills, and the other 50 in the 2nd. Set up a auto transfer on pay days to move the 20% right away, always save first and spend later, to avoid overspending and saving whatever is left (usually less than 20% in my experience 🤣)
Notice how this video only has 380k views but a guy answering coffee questions has 1.3M views and a guy answering video game questions has 1.4M views. It makes you wonder where everyone's priorities are. (Yes I'm aware it's just entertainment but something can still be said about the type of content that the masses consume). Just something I noticed. PS: Great video. Shoutout to Kevin.
Omg I was seriously thinking the same thing! This man is providing wonderful information that can really help someone make a financial difference in their lives! And “mostly” Americans wonder why they can’t get out of debt
It’s the algorithm too. Most younger people especially those in HS and not working aren’t looking for financial advice. Also, people who know the answers don’t need this video. So careful with the generalization. I only wanted to see the answer related to college because my investment paid off.
Currently pursuing my financial advisor licence here in Canada. I've always been intrigued by the financial world and how things operate. Learning is a continuous process. Slowly but surely, these subjects don't frighten or drive me away. Hoping to assist families in achieving financial independence and financial literacy.
I think this is a pretty good segment, considering how much and how accessibly any person can cover extensive and complex concepts in an engaging way, and over only ~fifteen minutes.
Wow. The chapter of realistic budget is so helpful. I have actually seen this 50/30/20 something somewhere else. But it didn't attract me because of the annoying names and alias people gave it. So, perhaps what I need all along is a clean explanation like this one. Thanks, Kevin! 🙂
The definition for a recession is not two consecutive quarters of negative GDP; that's just a rule of thumb. Other than that, great video. Financial literacy should be in all high school curriculum so people learn these types of things before adulthood, again to capitalize on money's greatest growth ingredient: time!
11:28 Arizona ice tea is 99 cents, they've cut down on a bit to make the radius of that can smaller and improved the can design to use less aluminum, it's just the stores that are selling it over 99 cents
Minor tweak on the treasury bonds answer: the government doesn't need to collect taxes to pay the interest on bonds. They can just sell more bonds to make current interest payments.
You know you can do the same thing as well. You can always show assets to take a loan without having to liquidate them like a loan with house or gold collateral
I know right. I'm even worse off. Hahaha. Thanks to hyperinflation and the lack of any kind of social safety now that exists in the United States and the currency exchange between pounds and the US dollar you actually have more money than I do.
8:24 Could not agree more on this. Passive investment is the way to go for most of us, you are simply not smart enough to beat the market. Even if you are, as a retail investor you still don't have the time and capital to compete with the absurd amount of hedge funds out there. They recuit the smartest, brightest PhDs in the world to try to beat everyone else, and they are all being PAID to do so. And you know what? Most of them can't even consistently beat the market benchmark despite all this. If you still think you stand a chance, good luck.
The other thing is, most hedge funds are not trying to beat the market. Places like Jane street are trying to beat the market and are very successful at it
@@fifthdimension5278 I didn't say all of them can't beat the market. Of course there are some firms that can consistently generate positive alpha. I am just pointing out that MOST of them can't do that, and even if they do, most of the time it is just pure luck.
Regarding the 50/30/20 rule, can you provide a "definition" of sorts to help determine what qualifies as an expense vs. fun? For instance, Netflix, seems like an expense at a high level, but if you think about it, it is technically for fun - it is not a "need" to live.
Netflix is definitely not a necessary expense, 'expense' should be rent, bills, groceries, public transport/ car costs, pet food...thats pretty much it (if not a parent)
that being said if you do already pay for Netflix, it is an expense by definition, but its expendable so you can afford to cut that out if your budget doesn't permit
tf you mean used to be .99? arizona iced tea cans are STILL .99 if you're spending more for a can of Arizona iced tea the store is ripping you off, inform the Arizona iced tea company

Netflix is definitely not a necessary expense, 'expense' should be rent, bills, groceries, public transport/ car costs, pet food...thats pretty much it (if not a parent)
that being said if you do already pay for Netflix, it is an expense by definition, but its expendable so you can afford to cut that out if your budget doesn't permit

$1.25 for the liter bottle at dollar tree
@@stoundingresults haven't seen a litre bottle of Arizona before lol. Maybe it only gets put on shelves in specific regions. Are you sure you aren't thinking of Brisk?

This was surprisingly very useful and interesting
What I want to know is why when I pay off my credit card balance my score goes down, yet when I'm spending on it the opposite occurs, it's almost as if the whole system is designed to keep you in debt to pay their exorbitant interest charges.
