Sal Khan, 31, moved from California to Texas to live with his parents during the 2020 pandemic. They insisted on not charging him rent. He saw this as an opportunity to build a stronger relationship with his parents, save money, and potentially purchase some properties for his future. Now, almost four years later, he has been able to save over $200,000 and has a real estate portfolio consisting of four properties across the U.S.

I wholeheartedly concur, which is why I appreciate giving an investment coach the power of decision-making. Given their specialized expertise and education, as well as the fact that each and every one of their skills is centered on harnessing risk for its asymmetrical potential and controlling it as a buffer against certain unfavorable developments, it is practically impossible for them to underperform. I have made over 1.5 million dollars working with an investment coach for more than two years

I'm happy to see the perspective of an adult living at home (by choice); as mentioned, there is a cultural aspect to this. As someone with a different cultural background, one that emphasizes hyper independence, it is great to see a different perspective. Secondly, I think it's great that he is able to rent one of his homes to his sister, it seems like it is a mutually beneficial relationship. That being said, am I the only one that is getting tired of this dystopia of homes as a commodity/part of the portfolio? I think too many of us are told to "invest" in real estate, but given the housing crisis, NIMBY, and inflated housing prices, its just so hard to be ethically invested in real estate given our current climate. I'm not saying to not do it, and I'm not even faulting folks that choose to, the incentives are there. There is just something that feels wildly inappropriate about our current system.

My parents supported me throughout my 20s and into my 30s. Now, I support them for life. It's a cultural norm in India and Pakistan, and I have an Italian friend with a similar arrangement. Drawbacks include less freedom for fun activities like clubbing and the constant scrutiny of others. You might feel like you missed out on the carefree nature of your 20s and casual relationships. However, there are advantages too. You mature faster than your peers, enjoying your 30s more fully. Personally, I've had the opportunity to travel to Japan, Mallorca, Thailand, and Dubai this year. Additionally, owning multiple properties and being successful as a man has made it easier for me to date and find a life partner.

One thing that Asian Americans in general do so well is leverage group economics by staying home longer (helps to have an in-tact, loving family unit also.). So much needless suffering happens when people get tossed out into the world with no support or real leverage (most lean on credit card debt and end up screwing themselves long term). This should be normalized more. I'm back home and this guy is me. Difference is I don't have properties and am preserving capital for other opportunities.

Guys non of this is the answers, the reason he pays the minimum and hasn't paid it off is because it's the first and oldest credit line on his credit which helps his credit file, if he pays it off it will drop his credit score and length of credit history in return affecting his interest rate on future financed properties

not sure what his interest rate is on his loan, but if its under 4% interest, there's no reason to pay it all off because you have high yield savings accounts paying you 4 - 5% interest to hold your cash there; for me i have 2.5% interest rate, only like $5300 left on student loans, i can pay it off in one go, but why? I rather have my existing money make me that 1.5% - 2% difference and pay off my loan in a 20 year period for that fixed interest rate

Great job; the only criticism I'd have (but not knowing the entire situation maybe there's a good reason for it) -- why does he still have college debt? That 19k left from the 22k (from 2016!) is a waste of interest, unless the rate is so low it's somehow worth it? He could knock that out quickly and be done with it and still be able to invest in more real estate. He's far ahead of most (including me), so his decisions are great lessons in managing wealth, but seems odd to hang on to that particular debt. (And I did think about the college loan forgiveness, but that wasn't an idea back when he graduated, and I thought there were income caps, which he far exceeds--being able to still make $220k/yr in TX is massive since the CoL is lower than CA.) BTW, mentioning the Costco fee is a bit digging, isn't it? It's $60/yr, relatively cheap (it's been that for decades!) compared to the savings from buying at Costco.

As a landlord myself, the whole “renting to my sister” seems like a big risk. If she gets into financial issues and can’t pay rent, then what? Evict your sister and nephews? Have your parents guilt trip her into paying rent? If your parents refuse to comply then I guess he’s got the added leverage or threatening to kick out the parents if they don’t 😅.

This is not the case for this man and they have a good relationship so good for them👍

The smart survive! No matter where you go on this planet, the smart ones who do the right things will always survive...especially in America. In America, there are so many opportunities but you have to seize the opportunity and plan your life wisely around it. Too many people follow the "not so smart" lifestyle and end up in big debts, work 40 years, suffer physical illnesses, and be abandoned and lonely in old ages by their own adult kids who will by the way repeat the same dumb lifestyle that will cost them everywhere they look. Family sharing a house is the biggest cost-cutting one can make. And the rest of your income is ALL savings and Investments. Imagine a life with only a meager expense.

It's one of the rare few jobs out there that you can get a job in that doesn't require experience at all since most companies train you, they pay very generous starting salaries ranging from $75k to $95k OTE with roughly half of that being a base salary on where to the company is located rather than where you are located, and you can work remotely. It's not for everyone but I'll just say the potential to retire in less than 5 years is there for the taking.
