Very true. Comparing with others will only make a person miserable. Never be in competition with anyone but yourself. The best way to save money as well as to be happy is to ignore all ads and that includes your friends telling you about stuff they bought or have, because those are essentially ads too. Buy nothing that you don´t absolutely need and then occasionally buy something that you really want, but only if you can afford it without risking being in debt or losing your home etc. This is why I have chosen not to have a TV for over 20 years now and block ads on social media and the internet as much as I can. I also don´t go to shops much anymore and shop more online. When I go out, I mainly go for walks when the weather is good and that is absolutely free and good for health! Cook at home and enjoy nature outside. Bring a drink and snack with you and then no need to spend in cafes etc unless you feel like it, which ofcourse is fine too occasionally.

Being rich isn't having a lot of money. Being rich is not having any debt. Being rich is having meaningful people in your life. Being rich is being loved by friends and family. Being rich is enjoying every day with good health. Being rich is a lifestyle that incorporates a positive mindset. Life is precious. The fact that we are breathing, and are gifted with consciousness to be able to enjoy life's gifts, should make a person's perception of wealth. Be passionate about life and the people in it, and the money will follow.😊

When I started working at the age of 18, I was barely making 600 euro per month. I had to pay rent, food, and bills in my country. Even with this, I still managed to save 250 euro monthly, which was around 3000 per year. It was not much. But this habit stayed with me until today, and I keep using it after moving to Ireland. Then I see people complaining about prices and unaffordable costs. But I have so much money even with an average national salary as I learned of self-control from my early age. Next year, I will buy property with my savings back in my country Croatia, and I will probably pay it off in 3-4 years. Life is not balanced. You either spend or save

There is a cost to having a longer commute and it’s in non monetary terms, stuck longer on choked roads, standing in overcrowded trains (When they are running) and raising stress levels before you even get to work, so consider the health benefits of doing a local job you enjoy and make sacrifices, you’ll live longer.

Utter nonsense. Yes, London is expensive but £70k/year (£44,525 after tax and student loan payment) covers food, transport, rent and utilities easily even here. On half that, you'd want to look for some flat mates, but still not be in poverty. For people on very little, often with dependents too, poverty is a very real and horrible thing, so don't go conflating that with whatever your misconception of poverty is.

@@ratsliveonnoevilstar1 I mean, sole income providing for multiple dependents is not ideal anywhere, but when I said 'easy' on 70k I'm talking a flat with extra bedrooms acting as home office and lounge, and upmarket groceries for one, so it could be you use those rooms as bedrooms and shop at Lidl. So the budget should stretch to cover some family. I've not been in that situation myself but I'm pretty sure quite a lot of people get by like this. However I imagine at that point it'd be a no-frills slog. On the flip side, you could have more household income if that family includes a partner. Even just help at home so you can focus on work makes a big difference.

My entire work life I never made over 6 figure. I didn’t own a house. I bought 3 yr old used cars. But I had no stress from being in management (never got promoted) and had done a lot of travel and activities I enjoyed. I retired early 2 years ago with a small pension (half of my old salary) and savings in retirement account. I bought a retirement home using cash I saved aside over the decades. I have no debt and no worry about money. I thought about the trade off a long time ago. I may not have a whole lot of money and no work title but what I have is enough for me (I have no one in my life).

Interesting video. I'm 19 living with my parents (house paid off Alhamdullilah), but I am the top earner of the household. I grew up around friends with even lower incomes than my family, and we always dreamed of having all of these materialistic things like a nice watch, nice car etc. It's really hard not to want these things as somebody who has no rent to pay, but I will be putting my deposit on my first ever property when I finish my studies at university (or before, but unlikely). Anyone young like me knows how easy it is to get influenced to splash once you get your first pay check, but videos like this remind me that if I really want to be that guy, splashing more and more as my income goes up will only leave me broke when it's time for me to move out. So enjoy while you can, and once you can't, I guess you have to get serious. P.S. I can really relate to the Diderot affect. Crazy!

When I started my first job out of college I was earning $1000 cdn a month. It was a sales job and we only got paid when we sold and worked with clients (personal trainer). This job taught me how to be smart with my money and I still managed to save. Now I'm making almost 7-8x in a month what I was making before, but I still spend and save like I'm not. I still have the same car, mostly the same clothes. My cost of living changed because I moved out, but other then that I still save/invest the rest after bills have been paid.

I'm slowly getting better at this type of stuff as I've recently increased my pension contributions to 31% including the 10% put in by my employer and have started to max out my ISA allowance each year (£20k). I'm also making large overpayments on my mortgage in an effort to pay it off sooner rather than later. In regards to the later, it became apparent that the £170k I have left on my mortgage to run 16 years was going to cost me £240k (£70k interest) thanks the the jump in interest rates of late, however, if I paid off £90k (equity from a BTL property I've just sold) and took the remaining £80k over 6 years then it would only cost me £91k (£11k in interest).

The problem is inflation and things getting more expensive beyond the inflation rate. Salaries do not keep up. 100k is just a number. Tax brackets are not adjusted to inflation, most people at 100-130k are paying way to much tax. Things needs to change!

I'm one of these people but I still go with the rule to never overpay for something. Example, the car market has gone mental the past few years so the car I bought for £38k 4 years ago costs £45k now. So even though I want to buy a car the past couple of years, I'm not. I'd rather wait for opportunities to buy. I do the same for shopping in general. I also put my savings into investments rather than the 4% savings trap. One more thing about pensions, from a personal experience, they are not set in stone. When I left Greece my parents pension got slashed in half because of the financial situation in Greece. Pension funds do not guarantee you'll get your pension.

6:25 For workplace pensions, If you have the means to invest beyond what your employer is matching (let's say your employer will match to 5%), should you contribute more than 5% yourself? Or is it better to invest any extra contributions into a SIPP instead?
@fjohn8985
@fjohn8985 4 ай бұрын
If the MER is low for your workplace pension portfolio you selected and the performance so far is great, it should be fine. Check the portfolio/s you selected for historical performance. e.g. Your workplace will match up to 5% but allows you to contribute another 5% (total 10% from your paycheck/paycheque + 5% match). Review performance after 1 yr. Tweak as needed.

I am an Engineer on a salary in mid 30k-40k, living in midlands. I never lived in London but learnt pretty quickly that 30k in the rest of the country is equivalent to 100k in London. I have a house, decent car (above the banger category 😂) and gained 10k savings within a year in the role. Pretty content with that, I'm neither stingy nor extravagant. You can do well with £30k income if you avoid 5 of the 7 deadly sins.

Hi Nischa, great video as always. I was wondering if you could talk about the specific financial considerations people might have who are childfree. Often financial advisors are encouraging you to maximise your wealth so you can pass that on to your children but that is not the dream of some (it seems increasing number of) people. We would rather optimise our finances in a way that suits this lifestyles, however the traditional financial products are not always suitable. I would be interested in hearing your thoughts.

Good advice. I’ve lived within my means all my life and last year was able to retire early. When I told my boss I was retiring, he admitted he would like to do the same, but he had a mortgage for a big house and both him and his wife had loans for new cars. Too many people must have the latest and greatest “stuff” and think it will make them happy…it doesn’t!

The investment you choose isn't right or wrong, just depends on the kind of business person you are or simply the kind of person you are. However, the end game is investing money long term creates wealth every time. Just pick what you like and understand, invest and it will pay off. A lifetime of investing for 5 mil is not hard to accrue.

I've worked really hard and been really fortunate. Just five years ago (at 30) I was working (hard in) an entry level job and I've gotten two promotions since - I did one upgrade; from surviving to being able to do a few little things, and now I'm saving 15% of my income every month. I've gotten rid of all my debts except a mortgage and have become a tight budgeter. In theory I have it really good (I'm at six figures Australian - which is nowhere near six figures in GBP, EUR or USD) BUT because I don't have a safety net (family to fall back on, financially or residentially) that 15% saving still feels very stressful. I need those savings because if my cat gets sick, if my car breaks down, I MUST use those savings. So I still feel broke, strangely.

A lot of people think the reason why they get paid high is because they worth more value.... I say no. Part of the reason for the high pay is because if they companies they work for don't pay them high, then they won't be able to find a decent place to rent, let along pay a mortgage in those cities. If people have to leave due to high cost of living, then companies won't be able to recruit anybody. So in short.... a lot of people think those high income represent their own value, but in reality, those are simply values of the land, and Tax department.

Dear Nischa, Thank you very much for this interesting video. Let me allow one further question: What does reach mean? To be free? To do what you really love? To eat good organic food? To be healthy? On the other hand: Why would somebody become wealthy? Save money for the future w/o purpose is pretty dump (sorry for my language). Everybody should trade off between now and future. For instance: Why should you wait for being retired to start your most lovely stuff? Live today and save money if you can afford it. The one million dollar will not buy your youth phase. I am struggling a little bit with the purpose to become a millionaire. Just have fun in your life and do what you love. The money will come, trust me .

It is well and good to make more money but if people dont develope a habit of using their money wisely say to budget, save and invest then making more money is useless. Also lifestyle creep is real and I for one stopped buying the branded bags and shoes and used them to invest and save. That habit have resulted me in maxing my ISA allowance 2 years in a row even with me getting a 25% pay cut this year. Its all in the mindset and good habit. God is good ❤❤
