      Even in Germany things are way different, we don't lose retirement funds trough stock crashes but trough demographic change (and loosing European support and migration).

    Investing wasn’t even a thought when I was a young teenager. That exposure is so important!
    I started investing in the same way. 401k & a small brokerage account! -Akeiva

    Love this video! When my daughter started working (minimum wage), I told her whatever she put in savings, I would match. She loved watching it grow and also learned about the lousy interest rates on bank accounts.

    I can testify to everything said in this video. I started my financial journey in earnest last August and my investing strategy is basically everything she described. Sure, my gains are coming in slowly but I'm in for the long haul. Also, to add to what she said, be careful of starting your investments in earnest before your emergency fund is sorted. I started investing last year, and while I'm glad I did, my goal this year to put a pause on that until my emergency fund is sufficiently funded.

    No mention of a Roth IRA? If she's contributing more than the amount her employer matches into her 401(k), she should be putting that difference into a Roth IRA instead. With a 401(k) you are limited to the accounts that your employer's plan offers, but in a Roth IRA you can choose the brokerage and the funds you want to invest in.

    so perfect! I'm 31 and this is my situation making less than 30k a year, living in new Jersey.
    The crazy part I'm on track to retire by 35 latest 40, my difference I decided to learn about money fully. Did research on real estate did 4 wholesale deals with the funds paid off my worthless college debt thank god!!.😑 (school was a complete waste for me) whatever I had left over found a mentor to teach me how to day trade, then he set me up with a prop account for a least a year.
    And this very moment after closing my prop account went straight to Robin hood and applied my knowledge started last September of 2018 and within the end of the year my account was already over 15% its march an I'm already close to 18% total. Since I live a SUPER frugal lifestyle by july of this year I'll have enough I'll have enough saved to buy an investment property, I'll most likely will be living in my parents house🤣 still.

    @markbernier8434 5 лет назад

    See Mr. Kilby below. Also, it is nearly certain that you will become a millionaire. It won't mean as much by that time but you will. It is probable that by fifty, you can afford to retire if you want to enough. If you have children the time to discuss investing and interest is about 10 or 11. Schools won't. It is up to you. It is astounding what paper route (remember newspapers?) can turn into after 45 years.

      Do some research on the psychology of cults, religions and MLMs and tell me if they differ from one another. Look up videos of ex-MLM members and see what they have to say. Why did they leave if the MLM is meant to be so good?

      Avoid them. Half of the people WILL get screwed.
      For example, Person A signs up B and C; then, B and C then sign up, respectively, D/E and F/G. A through G = seven people, but D through G will need to find eight new people to sign up.
      Even if a wildly successful company managed to convince every person on Earth to sign up - that last level of people looking for new recruits would make up 50% of the world's population.
      MLM is not sustainable if it requires you to sign up new people to make the big bucks. If you get in early, you might make some money - but you do so knowing that a lot of people who sign up will not be able to make any money.
      In my opinion, It's one thing to sell a product; it's another to sell opportunities to make money when you know that you're just trying to pass the losses on to the next person in line.
