      Disappointing. No one should be using a party name as an insult--certainly not when the other party has increased our national debt by over $1 TRILLION DOLLARS since inauguration day. We should //all// be contributing and getting this debt gone. The US is actually broke! I mean you couldn't run a household like this, just like he always explains to us.
      I love Dave as a person, but I really wish he'd "put his money where his mouth is," in how he views politics.

Only, after I got married and beset by multiple hardships (losing everything in a natural disaster, multiple medical issues, and a wife having a nervous breakdown because of all this), I woke up one day and wished I had learned to budget when it didn't matter instead of having to figure it out when it did.

    I like investing in close-end funds that pay monthly dividends. The trick is to hold long term and reinvest the monthly dividends plus buy more shares on a monthly basis or when ever you can afford to. This can be easily done because close-end funds are bought and sold on the stock market just like regular stock. That’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between $50k to $70k in dividend income

    • @AddilynTuffin

      I totally concur. I'm 60 years old, just retired, and have about $1.2M in outside retirement savings. I don't have any debt, and the amount of retirement savings I have relative to the overall value of my portfolio over the last three years is minuscule. To be completely honest, using a portfolio advisor when investing is brilliant!

      The name of my investment advisor is "Sharon Louise Count." She is a true genius when it comes to diversified portfolios, which make portfolios less susceptible to market downturns, and has a strong reputation in her area. You may already be familiar with her name; a Newsweek article gave me the information I needed. She is someone you could Google.

    I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller.

    Certainly! I understand that living expenses and taxes can take up a significant portion of one's income in the UK, which can limit how far that income can go. Even 100k doesn't get you very far and the dream of retiring early is starting to seem like a fairy tale. I have roughly $200,000 in 401(k) that I need to grow quickly.

We maxed out our Roth IRAs and retirement accounts every year and also invested in the stock market with the help of a financial planner. We love our way of life.

    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get 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.

      Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks.

      We're going from spending on whatever to trying to spend nothing at all, which is a huge change. I get that. So we worked out a compromise. When we get paid, we take a certain amount of cash out of our bank account that we use to spend on whatever we want. Judgement free. No questions asked.
      Having physical currency is slightly more difficult to spend, so my wife is starting to spend slightly less, so it helps. Since we started this, there have been less debit transactions from our bank account, and we have 100% accountability of where our money goes.

    We followed Dave and became debt free in 2008. I am 60 and working 1 day a week cause I WANT TO not because I have to. My husband works because he WANTS TO not because he HAS TO he is 58. Thank you God and Dave for what you have shown us. WISDOM.....we have been able to give, help and encourage others and have a sizable nest egg. listen to his wisdom that was given to him by God and experiences of daily life. It works!!!

      But that’s an incredibly simplistic view of finances. Many people leverage their debt to allow their money to work harder for them than if they simply paid off their debt. This leads to a higher net worth in the long run and many people who are loaded actually carry some debt.

      If you can save/invest 90% of your income do it. For some it may only be possible to do 10%.
