I’m sorry but this is very poor advice. If we all knew “good” companies then we’d all be well off. Financial advisors, especially early on in your wealth building journey, is also not appropriate. They’re costly and can stunt your financial growth. Investing in index funds or target retirement funds is an easy way of having a low-cost, diversified portfolio. Index investing beats managed accounts 9.5/10 times. Do yourself a favor and keep investing simple. You’re right about time though. The longer you keep the money invested in index funds the more time you give it to grow. Compound interest is real.

My own circumstances were different from the 19yo in this video but similarly I had very little debt and was essentially starting from scratch. The big difference is social media was in its infancy at the time so financial information was gatekept and not at all accessible unless you understood the lingo. I wish I had been thinking like this 19yo and get a head start in life. So much of investing is simply time and I wasted my 20s by not taking advantage of my debt free situation. Now in my 30s I'm trying to play catch up. I'm doing okay for my age but I know I would be more financially set if I had taken advantage of my debt free 20s. My 30s has been incredibly rocky. I lost 3 jobs in succession. I haven't really been able to save much in recent years. I only have what I have because I was at least smart enough to save in my 20s but I wish I had known more about investing. That's the time to learn and take risks and figure it all out. Kudos to any young people out there getting a head start!!!!

The college student was basically me when I first started investing. I lived as cheaply as possible, so I could save all my scholarship money (didn't have loans, cause my family was so poor, I qualified for all the financial aid in my state). Because of that I actually graduated college without debt, and net worth positive, which really helped when I couldn't find a full time job for the first 2 years after graduation. And come today 12 years later, I've kept that same "live way below your means" spending and investment habits, and pretty much hit my Coast FIRE amount already... 20 years earlier than expected. If my current job and work environment wasn't so good, I probably would have retired already.

Note about PayPal credit: Often times the way their 0% interest promotion works for PayPal credit is it’s building up in the background and will hit you like a freight train, If you wait for the promotional period to end, if it’s paid off before the six months or whatever you will owe no interest, but otherwise you owe all the interest backdated to day one.

From what I see, the third portfolio’s individual stocks are mainly dividend kings/aristocrats. Seems they are going for living off dividends, but still that is a ton of holdings lol

Nice analysis. Would suggest taking into account all three were younger, and from what it sounded like, had not started a family of their own yet. Advice and outlook changes drastically when incorporating a family into financial futures.

Im still only on the first guy, and something that never gets mentioned in these is a 5% down conventional or FHA loan. I know everyone wants the 20% down to avoid mortgage insurance, but sometimes it's still a good idea. I've been fortunate as a military member and was able to use a 0% VA loan. But I also used a conventional loan with 5% down because there weren't rentals i wanted to live in near my new station and have made 80% of my net worth from those two properties that I originally had almost no equity in. I know it's a risk, but in my mind, it's a worthwhile one.

Love this format. Keep it up! I relate to #3. I have about 27 individual stocks I bought years ago. Many are doing VERY well and others not so much. But as of about 2 years ago I stopped buying individual stocks and now only buy 4 index funds. Now it’s just a timing factor of how to exit the underperforming stocks. Have been tax loss harvesting.

$2 million isn't much to retire early on... after a few decades of inflation he's going to wish he worked longer to build a bigger nest egg.
@arh12342 ай бұрын
$2M should provide $70k/year, adjusted each year for inflation, likely forever (Bill Bengan says 3.5% SWR likely to last for infinite retirement. ) Pretty closs to his current spend, and doesn't even account for any Social Security

@@arh1234I have $3M plus a $750k paid for house (and no other debt). I wouldn’t even think of retiring for at least another 10-15 years. I will also get a pension and SS, but those are not enough.
@glasshalffull29302 ай бұрын
@@user-tb7rn1il3q Everyone’s situation is different,but you may consider retiring. I’m curious as to how old you are, what your annual expenses are and what your pension/SS would be. I also have a pension and bridge SS as I’m a government retiree. My portfolio has been 100% S&P500 for 34 years. I retired at 55 with $1.2 million nine years ago. I figured my pension/SS and about a $100K in emergency cash would keep me afloat during any major market drop. Because of this, I stayed 100% S&P 500 and it has grown to $3.3 million even after taking $52K a year for the past four years. IMHO, unless you have huge annual expenses, your portfolio/pension is so large that it could withstand a major market downturn.

Currently, at 34k USD net worth at age 20, I am projected to be at 58.5k USD by the end of summer 2025 as I will be working the first 8 months of the year and investing most of it. Then, I will be returning back to school. Fortunately, I have a resp, which here in Canada is an educational tax-free account, so I got tuition covered. On pace for well over 85k USD or 100k cad by graduation!
