@@slydawwg yikes. What a clown

Early knowledge makes extraordinary outcomes

Amen to that!!!!

how are you doing now?

I am almost 30. I have two properties. Net worth is about 500K. I am moving overseas (military) for 12 months with some tax and other financial incentives to offset the location and regulations since they are not desirable. Hoping to save 100K while gone. @@cuteclown3331

So great you're helping your partner and friend get interested. The decision is ultimately theirs, but at least you know you're doing what you can!

My recommendation: Don't merge your finances. Have your own accounts. No matter how great things are now, a breakup can be ugly. Go with Vanguard, index funds, not individual stocks. You will thank me in 20 years. Good luck.

@@sct4040 Why Vanguard and not Fidelity?

Nice work! Why did you leave for Europe?

@@RunnersUniteCoaching Thanks :-). The cost of living in countries we were interested in was much lower, and we preferred Europe over Asia. It´s been great so far. About a third in Spain.

@Charlie Bee Really? Why, and where will you be heading to?

@Charlie Bee Aaah... I understand completely. Getting my papers in America was just as nerve-wracking and took years. Asia is popular because of visa runs. Let´s hope they don´t change things up too much post covid. Good luck :-).

@Charlie Bee Perhpas you could look into Portugal (very similar to Spain but easier process). Take a look at our rich journey on yt.

you are absolutely right honey

Don't worry, 90% of people lack the drive and commitment

It wouldn't crumble it would flourish

@@johnnylabedzki personal finance would flourish. People hanging onto their money instead of frivilous spending would crumble the economic markets.

@@candisellis185 Economy wouldn't crumble.. People will have more money to spend if they learn to not over consume. The economy will adjust and markets will change into different services and products. The current one's will not do well but markets such as real estate, home based services, dropshipping just to name a few

Ditto!!! I am still in debt for now but digging my way out.

@@sarahthomas3562 keep going ! sometimes it hurts bow your head and keep going, you`ll find things will get easier and easier!

I'm 31, soon to be 32, but I'm shooting for that 40ish age as well. I'm not sure if I want to build up a little more which means I'll extend a couple years more or not, so I'll figure that out along the way. You're not alone!

@@myfinancialclimb3121 Nice! That’s exciting - are you doing any side hustles to accumulate more cash? I’ve been really busy this quarter with my primary job but I want to do something next year to help build up more and exceed my nest egg goal too.

@@diegopradillo2743 Yes, I've been working on a little side hustle to supplement my income. It's been a work in progress. I've done it for about a year and a half now, but just recently I've started to put my foot on the accelerator to grow it faster. I just recently got it to pay out an extra 2k a month, but now the goal is to maintain that level, or continue growing. I haven't paid myself through it yet though. Everything is being reinvested in it, to grow it fast.

I’m 26 with 30 k saved 😂 how far behind am I ? I got a two year health sciences degree just still trying to get a decent job

Not trying to be negative but you’re going to need like 5 million to retire at 40 lol. Unless you want to live on super tiny budget your entire life.

@@slydawwg May I ask your generation?

@@slydawwg Cool story bro. Got any other lies you wanna spew?

She's also in Boston so you should reach out and see if she'd like to go get coffee and trade tips

U are right also I worked very hard in my 20s which led to me not being able to work a lot now in my 30s cause of burnout. Fire is great but it has its limits

No. You live in America and you have lipstick on so automatically, you are feeding crap companies. Either move to a rural reserve or a rural area of a country being exploited by America or sit your self righteous ass down.

@@froyokid while I have been feeding crap companies unknowingly my entire life, I have made many positive changes however I can not afford to make the sustainable choice in every aspect of my life. I do better where I can and I strive to do better every day. Sometimes I mess up and sometimes I don't have a choice. Also, wearing lipstick does not equate to feeding a crap company because there are sustainable options out there which you could not tell by just looking at my lipstick. Now, this photo was taken 5 years ago and it was an old lipstick that was gifted to me so in a way someone had to support a crap company for it to end up in my hands. I don't even wear almost any makeup anymore. I try my best to support local and sustainable companies with my dollar and take away from the big guys. My little bit is minuscule but it still means something. So I'm not perfect but I am working towards doing better and I don't want to make matters worse by investing in crap companies that will do well just in the interest of a high return. I don't see what is wrong with that. Levi from levihildebrandsavestheworld mentioned a cool company that you can invest with where they only have sustainable companies available but they are only in Canada the last time I checked. Something like that sounds like a great start to me.

Probably yes. Gunna require a lot of constant research on your part though

I feel the same. Like I wanna have my own house without having to be a sellout.

I got APPS, SQ, and some other former hot IT stocks. Down 4% a day is average the past few weeks. I got a transportation etf that is down 25% in 2 freaking days. That is an ETF for goodness sake. I put $2500 in it and it is like $1600 now. Insane for an etf.

@Walker Chaplain Thank you for the information i just researched her accreditation and qualifications on FINRA and SEC, she seems really solid. I’d go ahead and leave her a mail on her websíte

I think I might have come across this name on a Bloomberg interview where she spoke about how the financial market is being affected by the pandemic and the ongoing issues in Iran also, I really learnt a lot from her

When it comes to effective tools ""Juliana Gunawan Lee, and her students have been killing it, I can’t recommend her enough, neìther can her students to get more insights about her and her services just search her name online.

Investment is good but the market seems uncertain for now; however, you can get yourself a professional financial advisor who will manage your investment for you.

Yup that's the snowball effect. Earlier you start the earlier you become a millionaire

@@codewraith1 ohhh got it. 35 kind of late for me, lol.

@@KKatee777 It's never too late honestly. The younger you are you just have the advantage. I'm doing the same being 24 with a 6 figure net worth and wanting my million by the time I'm 35

You're doing great, keep going, of course. Best of luck!
