I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.

My wife and I went from -$250k (student loans) to over 2 million in 12 years, and got married, had 3 kids, bought 2 houses at the same time. How? Study your ass off until you are 30, make that good income, then only let go of those frugal poor international student habbits slowly.

I make just under 70k a year as a Correctional Officer in Canada, in 5 years that’ll be 89k and our contract is being re-negotiated right now with the government and we’re expecting to get a new contract that puts us just under 98k. I’ve been following your tips, I wrote down all of my fixed and variable expenses, cut my variable expenses as much as I could without sacrificing quality of life, while adopting new, less expensive habits to replace the more expensive ones. I’ve managed to put away just under 5k in 6 months. I have a child on the way so the pressure to put away a good chunk of savings into a high interest account is higher than ever. I’ve calculated that by next May I’ll have a savings account earning 500$ a month passively off of interest, and I’ll still be making my bi-weekly contributions which will make my savings account explode. I live in one of the most expensive regions of Canada and on a modest salary I’m still expecting to be a homeowner in 5 years. Your tips and your videos have been indescribably valuable to me. My family and my incoming son thank you, your work is changing lives and is going to help us achieve a much higher quality of life than we would have without your advice.

It's the result of the individual's poor habits & lifestyle choices. Spending extravagantly, not auditing one's own finances, really simple shit that most normal people pay attention to. 3. If U.S. is doing so bad, why are so many foreigners trying to move here? How are so many immigrants who don't speak any English, with no money or assets, come here & thrive? If the government was truly unfair here relative to other countries, why are more people trying to come here as opposed to leaving.
@@matw1x You DO have people leaving. But it's usually older people who want to retire in a cheaper country, using American dollars they earned at American jobs. My wife and I have discussed her country as an option for retirement. But we would starve if we had to work there at our ages.
I don't think anyone will argue that saving $20k a year while driving a Ferrarri and vacationing in Aruba is better than saving $20k a year surviving off of Ramen. Assuming that $700k isn't putting you into a debt bomb situation.
I was told I would be considered a millionaire by my FA if I go by certain criteria of asset -debt= net. But with inflation and everything so costly. I feel so darn poor😭.
The millionaire par isn't as high today as it sounds due to inflation particularly in housing. In my area your lucky to find a house under 600k with a 80k house hold median.
So as a couple you can essentially max out 401k (22,500 each before tax) and Roth IRA (6,500 each after tax) which equates to about $65k gross and meets the target. If you are single this would be more difficult due to tax brackets taking more of your income and having to put half the needed monthly amount into an after tax brokerage account.
My friend who worked at Walmart managed to save $300 a month for many. Many years. With compounding interest reinvesting dividends. She has about a million dollars in her 401
I save about 30% of my gross income. I spend 10% of my gross income on my child's "enrichment" experiences and education. Sometimes, I wonder if I should save that 10% as well so that I can retire sooner and have more money to pass down to my child. Other times, I feel this 10% is my investment in my child's cultural wealth and intellectual growth. I just hope my consistent educational investment grows with a compound interest like my financial one does...
Hi Humphrey! I was looking at your list of assets and I noticed there was no life insurance listed. Some argue that life insurance should be included as an asset when calculating net worth. How do you feel about this, and what argument would you make against including life insurance in net worth calculation?
10 years is too fast to be a reasonable goal. Make it 25 to 30 and almost any income over the poverty line can achieve it if you make the sacrifices necessary
My girlfriend and I are saving money to buy a house in 3 years. Do you plan to make any videos on how to make short term investments, especially toward a down payment for a house? Thank you Humphrey, I love your videos.
Love the videos!! My 9-5 only gets me about 50k per year but the benefits are great -- and it's fully remote. Ever since I made a vow to myself to earn an additional $600 per week, I've achieved it. That places me around $80k per year. I'm curious, would you stick with the 9-5 for now simply for the flexibility + good benefits, or seek out a higher paying main job?
@@quintessembo I have 3 VERY mindless side gigs that pay pretty good! I deliver pizza in a nice neighborhood, work security at the pro baseball team in my state and DoorDash!
@@brianbrown8339: Exactly. Exponential growth is multiplicatively self-similar. So, basically, the key is to max out an IRA for ten years straight. Make it Roth if you do not want to worry about accounting for the taxes.
I think he is talking about after tax. Remember you have to pay taxes every time you earn dividends. If not perhaps he took the average of a different range of years than you did.
I hate when rich people are so rich that they say, hey if you invested every dollar that make in the S&P500 for 10 years you'll have a million dollars lol Like how am I supposed to do this if I only make 50k a year lol
One thing that will get you to a million quicker than you think is dividends, especially if you are investing in individual dividend paying stocks that are increasing their dividends 6% or more per year and especially if you are re-investing those dividends back into the stock to increase your dividend each time it’s paid. It may not allow for a million in 10 years for someone with a regular 9 to 5 (it’s very few who can realistically keep a 5,000 a month savings rate) but after 10 to 15 years of contributing 4000 a year into a dividend stock can generate 5 to 10 thousand a year in annual dividends. Do that between 3 or 4 different stocks and that’s an extra 3,000 a month being generated in passive income or 40,000 a year being added to your regular savings rate. As opposed to just buying a S&P 500 index fund which yes will likely grow at 9% per year or more but isn’t generating hardly any dividend income, you can almost certainly hit a million between 15 to 20 years when you factor in dividends paid and re-invested for even someone able to save 1,500 to 2,000 a month…it just takes a little more time to get it rolling and compounding.
i like the video but think it's a bit too rosy on growth stocks and real estate. the 8% from index funds is already relatively high-risk, high-return but has the magical property of decreasing in risk the longer you hold them. historically, they almost never lose money over a period of 10 years, while growth stocks of course can easily go to 0 over that period. real-estate will also almost certainly appreciate over 10 years, but can screw you in plenty of other ways, especially if you're renting it out, and the leveraged appreciation aspect is overrated. because if you hold onto real-estate for a long period, you'll have paid most of the cost of it (via mortgage payments) so the appreciation is a smaller percentage of what you put in. so if you're treating property as a leveraged investment like that you have to hope for a short-term upswing to make an exit. maybe that will happen, maybe it won't. to say nothing of everything else you have to do to manage real-estate.
Wrong perspective. In 10 years, $1M is still a lot more than $1,000. Oh and by the way, the way life works sometimes, you will learn some valuable lessons along your way to $1M that you may not have learned otherwise.
Average 3% monthly gain and add $100 per month into your trading account. If you start with 10k, you can hit $1 million in 8 years. If you cant add the $100, then you need about a 5% gain per month. Be selective with your trades. You can look at wheel method too.
You are out of your head. Who can make 36% return year over year? You can’t count unrealized capital gains as growth but rather only the money you get from reinvested dividends. You will take 30 years to get a million and you will have to eat noodles and no live at all if you want to get there. This video is garbage…
@@carloslinan88 how is it misleading? He said in the beginning, most won't be able to save at this rate so he's acknowledging how difficult this will be. On top of the amount of discipline it would take even if you do make enough money.
Who knows? The only way to know is to work towards it and you'll see what it's worth when you get there. The question is come ten years from today, i.e., 2033, would you rather have the million or not?
can you help run the numbers with real estate. Like the interest from the loan? I am torn if I will be investing in real estate especially if it will be through bank loans due to interest.
Got it. Work 3 jobs. Forget about health. Forget all relationships. Don’t go out. Just work and serve 7 days a week 16 hours a day til you retire so you can enjoy the last 5 years with a buncha health problems. Makes sense suffer 30 years. Enjoy 5 lol
No, not till you retire, but yes for up to 18 months or two years. If you follow your own advice for about 2 years and you spend responsibly, you'd be pleasantly surprised at how your finances will change.
yeah, wealthfront sweeps your $ to a network of partner banks (I think they haev 15-20) where they keep the total amount less than $250k (covered under fdic insurance), right now even if a bank fails FDIC insurance will step in. Thats the point of the system. in the case of FRB and SVB, they had a clientele that often had way more money in their accounts than FDIC limits, so when they all went to withdraw - you saw those two banks go down. Some regional banks are suffering, but even if they ultimately fail, the FDIC steps in and that system is in place to ensure deposits up to $250k. Right now theres chatter about raising FDIC limits in general (last time it was raised was from $100 to $250k back in 2008)
How long can you have one of those accounts? If there is a set limit could you pull out that money and have your children continue with something similar? And then they do that with their kids? How long could that realistically continue? Wouldn’t the interest gains become literally impossible at some point? Would make a weird but informative video.
Nah, you probably have. But it is probably locked up in retirement accounts and, regardless, it does not mean that they are spending lavishly. If a millionaire follows the 4% rule, then they are living on only 40 k$/yr., which is below median employed income in the U.S.; that often has to support a household of at least two people. My dad is a millionaire right now and has been for at least half a decade, but he is still working and probably will continue for another five years. That wealth is not accessible to him yet because it is in retirement accounts.

Logo design and writing jobs are probably gonna get taken over by AI 😢. But on the flipside, the AI wave comes with tremendous opportunity for early adopters. What are your thoughts on using robo advisors to automate monthly or biweekly investing?
Congrats on 1 million Humphrey!!🎊
ty!!
I just wanna know how you open the door with the plant right there?
5:08 you forgot marry someone who also saves and will cooperate while delaying having children. 💵💵😄
I have a 3 fund portfolio consisting of 33% S&P, 33% Total stock, and 33% international. I feel a need to focus on complete growth so I went 100% stocks, but does the SP500 and TSM overlap too much to make sense holding both? However I’ve been in the red for a month now. I work hard for my money, so investing is making me a nervous sad wreck. I don’t know if I should sell everything, sit and just wait but watching my portfolio of $450k dwindle away is such an eye -sore.
There are many other interesting stocks in many industries that you might follow. You don't have to act on every forecast, so I'll suggest that you work with a financial advisor who can help you choose the best times to purchase and sell the shares or ETFs you want to acquire.
I agree, that's the more reason I prefer my day to day investment decisions being guided by an advisor seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time both employing risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis they have, it's near impossible to not out-perform, been using my advisor for over 2years+ and I've netted over 2.8million.
@@emiliabucks33 I actually subscribed for a few trading courses but it didn't help much, been getting suggestions to use a proper financial advisor, how did you go about touching base with your coach?
My advisor is Dawn Maureen Humphrey ’’ , a renowned figure in her line of work. I recommend researching her credentials further. She has many years of experience and is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market
@@emiliabucks33 Insightful... I was curious after reading what you shared, so I Googled her name. I came across her webpage.
My wife and I went from -$250k (student loans) to over 2 million in 12 years, and got married, had 3 kids, bought 2 houses at the same time. How? Study your ass off until you are 30, make that good income, then only let go of those frugal poor international student habbits slowly. The path to success in the US is much clearer and easier than in Asia. We are dismayed to see that most Americans are so bad at studying hard and live within their means. So many Chinese and Asians would give an arm or a leg to have opportunities like this.
$64,800 per year? You lost me. If I had that kind of money I wouldn't need this video.
keep watching the vid
You would be surprised how many high earning people waste their income and save nothing. People at all income levels need financial advice right?
I make just under 70k a year as a Correctional Officer in Canada, in 5 years that’ll be 89k and our contract is being re-negotiated right now with the government and we’re expecting to get a new contract that puts us just under 98k. I’ve been following your tips, I wrote down all of my fixed and variable expenses, cut my variable expenses as much as I could without sacrificing quality of life, while adopting new, less expensive habits to replace the more expensive ones. I’ve managed to put away just under 5k in 6 months. I have a child on the way so the pressure to put away a good chunk of savings into a high interest account is higher than ever. I’ve calculated that by next May I’ll have a savings account earning 500$ a month passively off of interest, and I’ll still be making my bi-weekly contributions which will make my savings account explode. I live in one of the most expensive regions of Canada and on a modest salary I’m still expecting to be a homeowner in 5 years. Your tips and your videos have been indescribably valuable to me. My family and my incoming son thank you, your work is changing lives and is going to help us achieve a much higher quality of life than we would have without your advice.
Kyle, that is amazing my friend. Consistency is the most important part and it looks like you have that quality. I am glad these videos have inspired you - you made my day!
Thanks for the content!
Plan for the future, live for today.
So does someone out all 64k in one ETF? Or Index fund? Please make a video to break down where to put the money?
Do you spread the 5400 a month in multiple accounts but not in retirement accounts?
I would do vtsax and VOO or VTI
1 out of 11 Americans is a millionaire. We are doing pretty damn good.
yeah Eugene!
@@humphrey But what are the net worth amounts for the other 10? As much as that metric looks good, it won't be good if 8 out of those 11 are in poverty for example.
@@SuSpicious9748
1. The poverty rate here is only 10% so that 8/11 figure is BS otherwise we'd all be in shambles.
2. Poverty here is a lifestyle choice, not because the government is being unfair or whatever force or entity people seem to be blaming.
It's the result of the individual's poor habits & lifestyle choices. Spending extravagantly, not auditing one's own finances,
really simple shit that most normal people pay attention to.
3. If U.S. is doing so bad, why are so many foreigners trying to move here? How are so many immigrants who don't speak any English, with no money or assets, come here & thrive? If the government was truly unfair here relative to other countries, why are more people trying to come here as opposed to leaving.
@@matw1x correct, many living here lack perspective and have never seen how the less fortunate in other countries live.
@@matw1x You DO have people leaving. But it's usually older people who want to retire in a cheaper country, using American dollars they earned at American jobs. My wife and I have discussed her country as an option for retirement. But we would starve if we had to work there at our ages.
I don't think anyone will argue that saving $20k a year while driving a Ferrarri and vacationing in Aruba is better than saving $20k a year surviving off of Ramen. Assuming that $700k isn't putting you into a debt bomb situation.
I was told I would be considered a millionaire by my FA if I go by certain criteria of asset -debt= net. But with inflation and everything so costly. I feel so darn poor😭.
The millionaire par isn't as high today as it sounds due to inflation particularly in housing. In my area your lucky to find a house under 600k with a 80k house hold median.
Do you have a link for the Google sheets net worth sheet
So as a couple you can essentially max out 401k (22,500 each before tax) and Roth IRA (6,500 each after tax) which equates to about $65k gross and meets the target.
If you are single this would be more difficult due to tax brackets taking more of your income and having to put half the needed monthly amount into an after tax brokerage account.
Congrats on hitting 1M subs!
My friend who worked at Walmart managed to save $300 a month for many. Many years. With compounding interest reinvesting dividends. She has about a million dollars in her 401
I save about 30% of my gross income. I spend 10% of my gross income on my child's "enrichment" experiences and education. Sometimes, I wonder if I should save that 10% as well so that I can retire sooner and have more money to pass down to my child. Other times, I feel this 10% is my investment in my child's cultural wealth and intellectual growth. I just hope my consistent educational investment grows with a compound interest like my financial one does...
Hi Humphrey! I was looking at your list of assets and I noticed there was no life insurance listed. Some argue that life insurance should be included as an asset when calculating net worth. How do you feel about this, and what argument would you make against including life insurance in net worth calculation?
10 years is too fast to be a reasonable goal. Make it 25 to 30 and almost any income over the poverty line can achieve it if you make the sacrifices necessary
Being millionaire is nothing, but becoming a millionaire by age 30 is hard
Thank you for focusing on having a positive attitude and for not having flames and red eyes focusing on inflation and yellen. 😝🥵
My girlfriend and I are saving money to buy a house in 3 years. Do you plan to make any videos on how to make short term investments, especially toward a down payment for a house? Thank you Humphrey, I love your videos.
HY savings account only for short term investments. Anything else is too risky and not worth it
Love the videos!!
My 9-5 only gets me about 50k per year but the benefits are great -- and it's fully remote. Ever since I made a vow to myself to earn an additional $600 per week, I've achieved it. That places me around $80k per year.
I'm curious, would you stick with the 9-5 for now simply for the flexibility + good benefits, or seek out a higher paying main job?
since you're fully remote id probably stick with it and then try to earn some income on the side for sure.
@@humphrey Thanks!
Can I ask what you are doing to earn $600 a week? That's amazing
@@quintessembo I have 3 VERY mindless side gigs that pay pretty good! I deliver pizza in a nice neighborhood, work security at the pro baseball team in my state and DoorDash!
What did you do to make an extra 600 per week?
3:53 for me it's more like "I don't have that much income period"
Can you do a 0 to 100,000 in 10 years? It makes it more realistic for all of your viewers.
Thank you!
Just divide what he did by 10 lol
@@brianbrown8339: Exactly. Exponential growth is multiplicatively self-similar.
So, basically, the key is to max out an IRA for ten years straight. Make it Roth if you do not want to worry about accounting for the taxes.
Great video! 💕
Isn't the average return of the S&P 500 closer to 11% 🤔
I think he is talking about after tax. Remember you have to pay taxes every time you earn dividends. If not perhaps he took the average of a different range of years than you did.
I hate when rich people are so rich that they say, hey if you invested every dollar that make in the S&P500 for 10 years you'll have a million dollars lol Like how am I supposed to do this if I only make 50k a year lol
Im 2.5 years in and already at 250k so seems easily doable within 10
One thing that will get you to a million quicker than you think is dividends, especially if you are investing in individual dividend paying stocks that are increasing their dividends 6% or more per year and especially if you are re-investing those dividends back into the stock to increase your dividend each time it’s paid. It may not allow for a million in 10 years for someone with a regular 9 to 5 (it’s very few who can realistically keep a 5,000 a month savings rate) but after 10 to 15 years of contributing 4000 a year into a dividend stock can generate 5 to 10 thousand a year in annual dividends. Do that between 3 or 4 different stocks and that’s an extra 3,000 a month being generated in passive income or 40,000 a year being added to your regular savings rate. As opposed to just buying a S&P 500 index fund which yes will likely grow at 9% per year or more but isn’t generating hardly any dividend income, you can almost certainly hit a million between 15 to 20 years when you factor in dividends paid and re-invested for even someone able to save 1,500 to 2,000 a month…it just takes a little more time to get it rolling and compounding.
Shout out Kobe 3:35
Who is getting a 5 to 10% raise a year? Genuine question I need to switch jobs.
I’ve just realized you’re now a millionaire (I’m talking subscribers) CONGRATS Humphrey!!!
yess ty!
Love it!!
Make a video on how the hell you buy a house!
i like the video but think it's a bit too rosy on growth stocks and real estate. the 8% from index funds is already relatively high-risk, high-return but has the magical property of decreasing in risk the longer you hold them. historically, they almost never lose money over a period of 10 years, while growth stocks of course can easily go to 0 over that period. real-estate will also almost certainly appreciate over 10 years, but can screw you in plenty of other ways, especially if you're renting it out, and the leveraged appreciation aspect is overrated. because if you hold onto real-estate for a long period, you'll have paid most of the cost of it (via mortgage payments) so the appreciation is a smaller percentage of what you put in. so if you're treating property as a leveraged investment like that you have to hope for a short-term upswing to make an exit. maybe that will happen, maybe it won't. to say nothing of everything else you have to do to manage real-estate.
Taking Notes 📝
Keep an eye out I will succeed
Congratulations on hitting 1M subs.Well deserve and thank you for all your informative videos.
second
Also, Humphrey I love your videos
Hi Oliver. Thanks man!
In 10 years that 1 million will be worth 0. So my broke ass is already a millionaire!
boom!
in ten years, you’ll need $2.5 million to have the same buying power as today’s $1 million. the average Joe earner is completely effed
$1,000,000 in 2013 is worth $1,295,672.59 today according to the CPI calculator. so yeah its a bit more than $1m but true true.
@@humphrey the next ten years will not be the same as the last ten years. the cracks are getting bigger.
@@blowinshtup6553 So what’s your solution ? Exclaiming the world is doomed ?
This calculation seems to account for inflation.
I'd still rather have an inflation-diluted $1 million in 10 years than nothing at all
I live poor for 20 years, average for 10 years, rich for the rest of your life
You are the best.
The thing is, in 10 years 1 milion wont be all that much money
Wrong perspective.
In 10 years, $1M is still a lot more than $1,000.
Oh and by the way, the way life works sometimes, you will learn some valuable lessons along your way to $1M that you may not have learned otherwise.
Average 3% monthly gain and add $100 per month into your trading account. If you start with 10k, you can hit $1 million in 8 years.
If you cant add the $100, then you need about a 5% gain per month.
Be selective with your trades. You can look at wheel method too.
You are out of your head. Who can make 36% return year over year? You can’t count unrealized capital gains as growth but rather only the money you get from reinvested dividends. You will take 30 years to get a million and you will have to eat noodles and no live at all if you want to get there. This video is garbage…
Thanks for another banger Humphrey!
you are welcome doge overlord.
10 years, that’s such a long time, it would be nice to have $1M in 1 year
You will probably take 30 years. This video is very misleading
@@carloslinan88 how is it misleading? He said in the beginning, most won't be able to save at this rate so he's acknowledging how difficult this will be. On top of the amount of discipline it would take even if you do make enough money.
10 years is sensible but in this age of instant gratification most people want to get rich quick. Us sensible ones prefer to get rich slowly.
Logos are outsourced to websites for a faction of the cost.
How much will a million be worth in 10 years?
Who knows?
The only way to know is to work towards it and you'll see what it's worth when you get there.
The question is come ten years from today, i.e., 2033, would you rather have the million or not?
A lot more than 100k in 10 years
can you help run the numbers with real estate. Like the interest from the loan? I am torn if I will be investing in real estate especially if it will be through bank loans due to interest.
Which is better if you have $10k. High yield savings or dividend stocks?
Ibit etf … your welcome
10 years is definitely a solid wait but if you’re 25 that’s having $1M at 35
Let's miss out inflation 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for this educational video, keep sharing your valuable tips!
Yes...we all have that friend that makes 700k a year but blows it all
And if this doesn't work for you, you can always just hope for hyperinflation
Have you done this yourself?
Got it. Work 3 jobs. Forget about health. Forget all relationships. Don’t go out. Just work and serve 7 days a week 16 hours a day til you retire so you can enjoy the last 5 years with a buncha health problems. Makes sense suffer 30 years. Enjoy 5 lol
No, not till you retire, but yes for up to 18 months or two years.
If you follow your own advice for about 2 years and you spend responsibly, you'd be pleasantly surprised at how your finances will change.
Solid breakdown 🤯

hey man. is Wealthfront still safe with all these banks crashing? like who the heck is green dot bank o_O
yeah, wealthfront sweeps your $ to a network of partner banks (I think they haev 15-20) where they keep the total amount less than $250k (covered under fdic insurance), right now even if a bank fails FDIC insurance will step in. Thats the point of the system. in the case of FRB and SVB, they had a clientele that often had way more money in their accounts than FDIC limits, so when they all went to withdraw - you saw those two banks go down. Some regional banks are suffering, but even if they ultimately fail, the FDIC steps in and that system is in place to ensure deposits up to $250k. Right now theres chatter about raising FDIC limits in general (last time it was raised was from $100 to $250k back in 2008)

Would you consider $QQQM more of a growth ETH compared to $VOO?
It's all about your savings rate 👌

graham is the 🐐
If bank keep printing money from air we will soon all be milioners
I'm sorry to say that your $1M in 10 years will worth like $200k now.
What 🤣 your math is a Little bit off
How long can you have one of those accounts? If there is a set limit could you pull out that money and have your children continue with something similar? And then they do that with their kids? How long could that realistically continue? Wouldn’t the interest gains become literally impossible at some point? Would make a weird but informative video.

Inflation is crying in corner😢
1 in 12 people are millionaires? Lol I've meet hundreds of thousands of people and never met a millionaire
Nah, you probably have. But it is probably locked up in retirement accounts and, regardless, it does not mean that they are spending lavishly. If a millionaire follows the 4% rule, then they are living on only 40 k$/yr., which is below median employed income in the U.S.; that often has to support a household of at least two people.
My dad is a millionaire right now and has been for at least half a decade, but he is still working and probably will continue for another five years. That wealth is not accessible to him yet because it is in retirement accounts.
😬 that's not starting from 0
Inflation: You are welcome.
Hello Mr. Humphrey, I have a question regarding the interest involved in the investment. Is there a way to have an investment without having any interest rate “usury"? If yes then it would be so kind if you to show us. Thank you.
If you do it roth ira it's tax free so $650,000 is the same
