  • Tony, a millennial, lives in Atlanta, Georgia and works as a chemical engineer at a consulting firm. He co-owns a house with a good friend and they rent out the extra bedrooms to two other co-workers, effectively operating a "house hack" resulting in very low housing costs. He also pays down his mortgage principle in order to shorten the expected term from 30 years to 14 years

    One thing I don't understand is he bought this house with a coworker. What if one of them or both want to start a family? Would each family get one floor? How would that work? Interesting video nevertheless, I make exact same amount before tax (that's why I found this video) but our expenses are vastly different. He seems to enjoy food and supplements so I am sure he doesn't see it as a waste of money, it's probably bringing him lots of pleasure so I can understand it even tho my grocery+eating out budget is almost 1/4 of his.

      David, you only need 5% down on a home loan, and with a credit score >840 I was able to get an insanely low interest rate. Couple that with the "house hack" Ian describes (that I rent 2 rooms), and this is a super cheap living situation!

  • @PaperRaines
    @PaperRaines 3 года назад +5

    This guy's salary is close to mine, some things look interesting in this video. The obvious being this guy is a walking contradiction. On the one hand he's frugal and efficient with his money, like buying a six-year old car with 100k miles, but on the other hand he eats and drinks everything in site on $1,700 a month between groceries, supplements, and dining out lol
    I'm not sure if I could live his exact lifestyle, but I think he's a decent example for people trying to do better in life. He doesn't have any credit card or student debt, he's building equity in his home at a very fast rate, and is really setting up a comfortable retirement. All in all, not a bad guy
    Although I question the accuracy of some of those numbers. I have a hard time believing he only spends $39 on hair cuts and massages. If they were that cheap in Georgia I'd drive up from Florida just to go get one 🤣🤣🤣

    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
