"Money talks but wealth *whispers* "
Is a great quote. Dont live to be showy to others
Indeed. Genuine wealth is subtle and understated, unlike ostentatious displays of money, and emphasizes the value of modesty and authenticity over seeking attention.
Husband is 18 months from retiring. We still live in our first/starter home that's paid for, our cars are 19, 16, and 13 years old-all paid cash for them and are well maintained, we don't care about labels or designer stuff, I shop at thrift stores and Aldi for groceries. We help our kids when we can, and we tip well when eating out. It's a simple, small town life for us, and I guarantee most people have no idea our net worth is over 7 figures with 0 debt. 😊
Do you have a wealth management firm?
My wife and I aren’t wealthy by any means but we do have a nice home(w/ mortgage), and nice vehicles (all paid for) with cash in the bank and separate emergency fund
Net worth is under $1/2 million but we feel “wealthy” with keeping a simple lifestyle
I prefer the name from that landmark book The Millionaire Next Door. There's nothing stealth or sneaky about it. It's just simple living below your means.
I live in the hood. I can bet my Roth I have more in savings than anyone in my apartment complex I’m trying to get to that $M THE RIGHT WAY 💪🏿
The best thing money can do is buy you better neighbors lol.
Cool. You have to pmay the cards in your hand. I'm in the same or simular boat. We m, you and I are on the journey. I long to have coffee with like minded people .... I have found none that are on the journey. I have however ran across many excuses. I like you already!
@@Joe-ip9ov I know how this feels. It’s a lonely get money journey. I’m 27 and met my girlfriend a year ago at 23 and she is my twin financially and mentally. It took me 5 years to find her.
@@Joenzinator loool right but rn I got to lay low till i come up.
I grew up in a lower income home and neighborhood. Now we have stealth wealth and our kids live a lifestyle I could only have dreamed about. Where you start doesn't indicate where you will finish. Good luck, live below your means, and keep grinding!
Stealth wealth here. Still live well below our means because it is way more fun to build wealth then to spend it. Our splurges are Organic Food and Private Healthcare.
"it is way more fun to build wealth then to spend it". Well put!

*Thank you😊 for this video, do you offer account management or have any recommendations?*
As a beginner investor, it's essential for you to have a guide. Myself I'm guided by Mrs Victoria K Walter, a widely known consultant
If you’re using a good manager, it’s easier to earn from the market
I've been trying to trade but I keep making losses and it's frustrating
There seems to be constant mention of
"Victoria K Walter" everywhere I turn. Are the accolades and reviews truly worth her?
I started working with Miss Walter after I got a loan from a friend and now after receiving profit, I paid my friend and put back my earnings over and over again. I must say she's a very transparent and an honest personality
I don't even know where my wealth is because it's so stealthy.
Lol… same .. havent seen em in years😂
The Millionaire Next Door (book) Studied millionaires and how they really live. Interesting book.
Yes, I have stealth wealth. I know I have it cause I don't see it.
LOL
😂
I do tell people in work, that I work because I want to. Not because I need to. But other than that, I keep myself to myself. But I do like tipping people in restaurants when I'm out...........
I don't know that I buy the "stealth" label. It's simply respecting your money. Not 'worship', not 'love'...respect. Respect for the effort necessary to earn it makes most people want to keep a big chunk of it and grow it, rather than spend it.
Hi Rachel. Just finished your podcast episode on stealth wealth. Very interesting listening. Before I discovered Ramsey, I was doing what I thought was the most common sense. My biggest fear was that I wouldn't be able to help my children and I was always affraid of mortgage even though modest. I started Ramsey beginning of 2022 and I can't get over the progress. Thank you so much for all you teach I am so grateful 😍
Definitely stealth wealth here. I wear old clothes, DIY a lot of projects at my house, drive an old minivan, etc.
You might be poor
@@Trackpad12Thank you, I lolled
@@Trackpad12lawl bawl
Minivans are the best!
My Dad use to always say you can't be rich and live like it too
Thank you thank you!!! Seems like the music has been turned down!!!
So much easier to hear 😊😊😊
I have an above average net worth. I’m grateful. People generally think we don’t have money. I like it that way. First, comparison is the thief of joy and there’s no reason to draw that comparison with others. Second, there are much more important things to discuss.
Additional habits:live below your means,know the difference between compounding interest and finance charges and how to positively apply that in your plan.Have a written out game plan on how to withstand a 40% correction/drop in cash flow
Do not tell people you have money.
I wish I could give you 1000 thumbs up. Never tell people what you have! You cannot un-ring the bell.
I am quite comfortable but a few times a month, work takes me to some shady parts of the city. ZERO interest in getting a luxury car or even a new mid-priced car. I feel a lot better driving the 11-year old Civic with fading black paint. It runs very well and people just assume I don't have anything worth stealing inside.
11 years old Civic has a lot of life left. I just handed down my 2004 Civic with 228,000 miles to my high schooler😊. Used it since June 2010.
@@AlEx-hk1pf Good to know! My daughter probably won't be thrilled that she will be getting an old Civic in high school...but it beats the 1990s mini-van I was borrowing from my mom
I have a stealth wealth mentality but not wealthy yet. But it will happen with time
The difficulties that the current generation faces are quite depressing. I wanted to know how to use some money that I had. I used a small portion of it for online sales, but that failed. My primary concern is safeguarding my $300K stock portfolio from loss, but l'm not sure how to go about it.
Yes, things may be difficult now, but l've realized that there are always possibilities to make significant gains in bear and bull markets, recessions, and economic booms. I used to call people out when they boasted about making a fortune in these down situations, until I actually did.
Keeping some gold is usually a wise decision.
You would be better off keeping away from equities for a bit or, even better, seeking advice from an expert given the current market conditions and everything that is at risk with the current economy.
You have a very valid point, I started investing on my own and for a long time, the market was really ripping me off. I decided to hire a CFA, even though I was skeptical at first, and I beat the market by more than 60%. I thought it was a fluke until it happened two years in a row, and so l've been sticking to investing via an analyst.
I love your top, Rachel! You should start making your own Amazon store front etc
One of your "signs" made me chuckle. Maybe the person driving the 10 year old BMW is wealthy, but I know from first hand knowledge that really broke people will often buy a 20 year old BMW, Mercedes, etc., which looks really cool, but then they can't fix it when breaks down...and it will.
My dad is nearing his 80s and has a 40 year old BMW which he bought used about 25 years ago. It still looks nice from a distance but up close it shows its age!! He loves it though. Its constantly breaking down but he's retired and loves to tinker with it as a hobby, which would be fine if he also had a reliable car, which he does not 😬
I miss my 2004 Pontiac Vibe. The paint was stripping and it was getting rusty. I would drive it around and snicker "people think I'm poor." But alas. Earlier this year the repair prices began exceeding the sale value. So I upgraded to a 2018 Honda Fit. Now I just look normal 😭
Funny thats what I’m cruising. Love my vibe
I'm not sure a honda fit is normal.
We have the opposite. We had a ton of equity when we sold CA house. Because of it, we got to move into a neighborhood that was inconsistent with our income in Indiana. I think for a couple of years we were probably the poorest people in the neighborhood. Neighbors would be talking about the mongo expensive birthday parties they were throwing for their kid, and we would head back to the house for bean and rice bowls for dinner. Income came up quite a bit but we still go on the cheap for a bunch of stuff. Why not?
Great content. Looking straight into the camera builds a relationship with your viewers. Looking off to the side disengages them.
When you don't follow the Jones life is alot better.
Unless you are a Jones 😊
The meaning behind "Travel light and keep it simple" is missed here. When you are stealth-wealthy you travel often enough to know what you need and are aware of the hassle of bringing too much stuff. You also have the confidence that all you absolutely need to bring is your passport, credit card, and prescription medicines. Everything else you pack is to avoid having to shop. For us, even if we drive there in our ten-year old Predawn Gray Sienna, we usually just have a carry-on sized piece for each person.
Being wealthy is defined differently to different people, and not all wealth is measured in money alone. Each person have to decide what their rich & wealthy life looks like and work towards achieving it. Also, comparison is a killer of joy. Just be content with your God-given talents, purposes & life as a whole 😊
A lot of people invest money in their cars and they feel wealthy because of it. 😂
I chuckle when I see it.
100% agree! Great video, Rachel.
I framed an x-man comic with Mr. Sinister on the cover. Looks fancy in my front room.
Can you make the every dollar app available in the UK please? Could call it; 'every pound'.?
We have three +13 year old Toyotas and Hondas
Were looking at buying a 15 yr old Toyota Highlander with 115k miles, lol. Cash deal and It should be getting just broken-in. Any tips on what to look out for regarding maintenance and repairs in the 100-200k mile range?
I just learned I inherited $3,000,000.00 from my Father (Trust). On top of this inheritance, my net worth is now well into 8 figures. I still drive a 2011 white colored Prius even though I could easily buy (in cash) 8 Lamborghinis and still have lots money left. BTW, my kid inherited 1.5 million dollars (USD) from his Grandfather. The only hint we might have some money is we fly “Business Class” when fly to Asia or Europe (we fly “economy” if the flight is 5 hours or less).
Weird flex but okay
Stealth wealth here. Love that lifestyle
Asking someone how they made their money is incredibly gauche.
What’s considered wealthy? It’s all relative. Most of these stealth wealthy people don’t think they are wealthy. I think that’s why they aren’t showing off because they are still afraid of running out of money. This same concept is why they have money- they saved and were smart about spending. They might have a few million and statistically that is pretty well compared to most Americans but they are looking at people like the Kardashians and Pelosi and feel like they aren’t rich. I’ve learned over the years you can’t really get a good idea how much money someone has by looking at their homes, cars, clothes, or vacations.
I wear a Timex not a Rolex, though they each tells time one is significantly more affordable.
We have a 9 yo Jeep and 12 yo Kia Rio. And we’re going to keep them for quite some time!!
I just replaced the transmission in my 9 year old minivan. I hope to get another 9 years out of it.
Love this! You don’t want to make people feel bad.
Some people think to be wealthy means you can finally throw money around. Even though a thousand bucks is a small percentage of your income, a thousand is still a thousand. No, not buying Swifty tickets for a spoiled teen.
Jerome Powell literally said it on 60 minutes (maybe indirectly but anyone watching this gets it). Let's keep that aside. Everyone should have BTC in their portfolio.
I feel sympathy for our country, low income people are now suffering to survive yet inflation and recession keep increasing daily, many families can't even enhance the good cost of living anymore. You've helped me a lot Sir Brian! Imagine I invested $50,000 and received $190,500 after 14 days
Very possible! especially at this moment. Profits can be made in many different ways, but such intricate transactions should only be handled by seasoned market professionals.
Some persons think inves'tin is all about buying stocks; I think going into the stock market without a good experience is a big risk, that's why I'm lucky to have seen someone like mr Brian C Nelson.
Finding yourself a good broker is as same as finding a good wife, which you go less stress, you get just enough with so much little effort at things
Brian demonstrates an excellent understanding of market trends, making well informed decisions that leads to consistent profit
I'm going to give you a different side of the stealth wealth. My daughter is a showy person but doesn't have a lot of money. She bought a set of Kate Spade bags for 70% off but doesn't tell anyone they were 70% off; she buys people's meals that she knows doesn't have any money when we go out with our social groups knowing she will be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches till the next payday. Basically she lets people think that she has more money than she does but she never complains about it that's just the type of person she is.
Isn’t she just posing?
Sounds like an awful way to live. Buy other people meals? Then turn around and neglect your own health with peanut butter and jelly? Is your daughter trying go virtue signal and take the moral high ground or what?
What she’s doing isn’t Stealth Wealth. It’s Stealth Poverty.
Great video, I have a quick question. I am an aspiring trader, I am looking study some traders and earn off their expertise rather than investing myself and lose money emotionally. What's your take on copy trading? Do people really make money?. Just looking for some reassurance.
Focus on long term investments in property, stocks, and bonds. Avoid copying, day trading and 'chart astrology'. Diversify across different geographies, industries, and value chain stages - to reduce your risk. You can do this with ETFs, or by selecting different stocks yourself. This is the best way to invest for more than 90% of people
Ashley Airagahi is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works at ALGO LAW FIRM. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you for this tip. It was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before emailing her. She seems proficient considering her resume.
Love my 2008 honda odyssey :-) ...wish my kids would stop pressuring me to get a tesla.
We have a 2005 odyssey. It is still running most of the time at 190k miles. Bought it for $6200 nine years ago.
2012 odyssey and a model y Tesla lol
"According to Google"?? Google is a search engine that points to websites. Which website did that quotation come from? It was not "Google".
Define wealth
She is a beautiful woman
Your tan's looking great. Happy summer!
Love this! 😊
Great video 🥂
This is nothing new. When I was growing up (I'm a boomer) they were called grandparents.
Thank you Lord Jesus for the gift of life and blessings to me and my family $14,120.47 weekly profit Our lord Jesus have lifted up my Life!!!🙏❤️❤️
I'm 37 and have been looking for ways to be successful, please how??
Mrs Lee Wallace Stacey
😱Sounds familiar, I have heard her name on several occasions.. and both her success stories in the wall Street journal!
Her services is the best, I got a brand new Lambo last week and paid off my mortgage loan thanks to her wonderful services!
Wow wow please is there any way to reach there services, I work 3 jobs and trying to pay off my students loan for a while now!! Please help me
I am financially blessed, thank Jesus, $32,000 weekly profit, no matter how bad the economy is.
Thanks to Mrs. Amanda Camila
She's a licensed broker here in the states
How
..? Am a newbie in crypto investment, please can you guide me through on how you made profit?
I'm surprised this name is mentioned here, I came across a testimonial from one of his clients on CNBC news last week.
Having raised up to $325,000 from trading with her, I bought here in Russian a new house and a new car, and also paid for my son's (Oscar) surgery. Praise God Shalom
One of my friends has stealth wealth. His work equipment, personal vehicle, and house all need to be condemned and demolished. He never buys anything new and low balls every offer on something he wants. I guess some people think that the only reason to have wealth is so you can flaunt all your stuff. My reason for wealth would be to not live in a slum house or drive something that leaves you stranded in heavy traffic.
That’s just being cheap.
@@eandrgoodwin I think he is in denial. Hehee.
So what’s the point of having money if you’re going to live like a bum?
I was thinking the same thing
Try working more with prompts instead of reading a script. It will seem more personal.
Isn’t this about the same as the “Old Money” persona that was big last year?
E.g., Old Money would NEVER wear clothing with logos on them!
Do you ever read any Dean Koontz or Anne Rice?
One sign of stealth wealth is keeping everything they own well-maintained without worrying about the cost.
Real wealth is getting stuff fixed when it breaks and not being overly concerned that you’re being charged too much.
If you have a ton of cash, what does it matter if your plumber charges you a little more than they should?
BTW, I am definitely NOT at this point yet!!
The worst of the showy flashy wealthy wannabes are the ones that rent wheel covers for their car 🤦🏻♀️
I'm living 6 pack to 6 pack.

Saw this pop up in my feed, thought "Oh, some new content I've not seen before, awesome." Saw the "R Ramsey" logo, nope'd right out...

“Im still a million dollars short of bein a millionaire”- Del Griffith.
On a concrete level, that makes absolutely no sense.
I have an £560,000 portfolio from my old job and retired six years ago. Lately, it’s been doing poorly, with only 6% growth in the past three years and I feel stuck. I desperately need to revamp my investments. Any advice on what to do with my money would be greatly appreciated.
Same old advice. Check what funds you are invested in. Make sure it's stocks & shares. Not bonds & cash. There was a large increase in the markets at the start of this year. Mine went up just over 10% in a few months.
@@loud9090how bout switching to real estate..
most of the advise here circles around to bite itself in the a$$. like the Burkin bag BS & logo-less luxury clothes.
Nah, i want to be rich like Americans too. They live in a 3,000 sqft home , drive a V8 truck and smile with paper white teeth.
That’s a typical middle class family :)
@LifeandLifeMoreAbundantly I can only afford paper white teeth. That kind of house costs 25M U.S dollars and V6 truck costs over 200,000 U.S Dollars. So we live in shoe box apartments and take public transportation in Singapore.
@@j.t1682 oh my ! That’s so much! Ever thought of moving to the USA 🇺🇸
You can become a millionaire in a lifetime with enough time and intentional work.
