Sweetie, almost nobody makes these incomes…

Stop with the couples! How about single and becoming a millionaire?!

I do similar, but lately with also 529 account once I finally realized I can use that thing for myself. Never planned on having kids, so I never thought 529 was right for me, but I do want myself another degree or two so 529 is actually right. I wish I knew that 10 years ago.

Gen X are the parents of Millennials - Not “boomers”. This is noteworthy for the theory. Not as rich as the boomers I believe 👍

Woodrow Wilson signed the death warrant for this country when he gave the U.S. a central bank, the Federal Reserve. That system, that it fails, is inevitable.

If you buy it do you get updates?

I really like the point you're making here. So much on the focus is on the what and how in personal finance. I think we need to spend a lot more time on the why.

My dog, no health issues, clean bred with a certificate of health, had monthly premium more than DOUBLE when she hit 7. I could not afford 350 a month, so I dropped it.

I wish I had this video 15 years ago. But I have it now and that's awesome.

I wish I'd had these videos 15 years ago when I started managing my finances.

I didn't realize there was default pre-nup. Does it change if you move states?

I just seen the video where Ramit encourage us to follow you.

I use 50/30/20 as a guideline. Keep my wants under 50. Needs always at 20. And save at least 30. If my wants falls to 45 then my saving jumps to 35. Point is I try to keep overhead low, still get to enjoy the present, and preparing for the future.

Critical Mass, that's a Bob Brinker term!

Yes!!!!😂😂😂

I swing form all to nothing and back again

This explained pretty much nothing, thanks.

The 401k is good, because retirement choices determine a lot of things. My parents both spent same number of years in the civil service, but my mom was investing through a wealth manager, and my dad through the 401k. My mom retired with about 4.2 million, but my dad retired with roughly 1.8 million. So it really does.

Thoughts on taking the money from the RSUs and buying into the Employee Stock Purchase Plan at 10% off the stock? Say maybe this was the largest company in the world aka Microsoft? I always thought it was best to keep less than 10% of your portfolio tied up in single stocks. But how does buying that single stock at 10% off factor in? I will likely be fully funding a backdoor Roth, 401k matched at 50%, am saving, and investing outside of tax advantaged vehicles. I have a pension from the Army and likely a check from veteran affairs.

Thank you!

Missing in your analysis is the consequence of tax on the money invested (Brokerage) or the tax when selling if you use the exclusions that are available to you.

Here's the problem I have with Katie's channel. She doesn't understand the biological imperative that places more expectations on men than women. No matter her desire to work, she disrupts the nature of expectations. For example, if a man loses his job for a year or two, the relationship is likely to end. If a man makes more than enough to support the family, most women will lose attraction if he just stays home with the kids. The reverse isn't true. Additionally, men face undue risks like military service and other life-threatening events. Women expect more from men than vice versa due to their biological drive for safety and gene selection. Thus, parity between men and women in roles isn't feasible, and even if achieved, it would likely diminish attraction and arousal.

Stay away from Fetch, they are absolute scamsters. I will be reporting them to the state Attorney General...

Insurance needs to be financially reasonable, however like homeowners and car insurance you are paying for peace of mind that if the unforeseen happens you can pay it. After going through cancer with one of my dogs I wish I had done insurance. Thankfully she qualified for a trial and so far she is still healthy without it, it would have been impossible to cover the costs.

부국강병 재원 ok

It’s not your responsibility. Don’t tell people you have it.

Why do you assume all trad wives aren’t happy and financially secure? You see some influencers and make broad sweeping generalizations. I mean I don’t assume you’re a lonely toxic feminist unmarried and unfulfilled even though KZfaq is full of copies of you that are…

Saw you on The Compound and found very articulate and easy to follow. Subscribed!

Fantastic point on inflation not effecting your fixed costs such as your long term mortgages. For those who are living in their forever home especially.

You're right. I knew this going in, but it's always great to hear someone remind me about it. Diversify with gold and silver.

Sorry, but get a life, ladies, and mind your own business. Men need wives, not modern-day women who act like 304s and don't need a man. Help the next young women not sleep around like 304s. And help young men be goodmen, not Chads or low value men or players that you feminist like.

I appreciate your take on this topic. You demonstrated how some Tradwives are influencers and you also gave particle advice for those considering this type of lifestyle. I think some people only see the glamorized content Tradwife influencers are presenting and don’t see the underlying context of what is also going on behind the scenes. Wishing you the best and keep up the great work!

"The call is coming from inside the housewife" A+ no comments

I just wanted to say, those of us who are stay at home moms don’t just completely rely on our husbands for financial security. I have a nest egg I saved myself, we also have a prenuptial agreement in place. I also have a degree and experience under my resume. No one should ever quit their job for any reason without a back up plan. That’s just not very smart.

I feel so conflicted whenever I watch content on this topic. As a stay at home, homeschooling mother for over three decades, it feels like social media has pathologized normal, maternal behaviors that have been intrinsic to our species since the dawn of time. Rather than receiving the admiration that I once did for my life choices, all I hear today is politicized ideation of who I am from people who have never lived my life and truly have no idea what my life has been like. It’s surreal.

So because a wife works from home she's not a trad wife? And you definitely don't understand how these marriages work. We don't need permission to leave the house, we don't get an "allowance" or are denied access to the bank accounts. That's not how a healthy marriage works. Just because some of the relationships are like you describe doesn't mean that they ALL are. And frankly it's insulting that feminist say women have the choice to be what they want to be EXCEPT if it's a traditional wife.

what if you live in a major city where both parents have to work especially if you have a child with special needs

Ehhh….

❤

dude, why do you care so much about other people's choices and their marriages. Most tradwives are not influencers. They're happy living their dream life and you just perpetually grumpy at them.

It’s also funny that they assume that trad wife is what all the men want nowadays. As someone who has put off relationships to work on my career throughout the first 1/2 of my 20’s I’d much rather be with someone who is also carrier oriented, independent and on a similar financial page. But maybe I’m just weird.

It is safe for investors that educate themselves. That's why it's called 'annualISED ROI' and not annual ROI - it's a long-term strategy, such index fund/ETF stocks are not for day traders or those expecting to cash out in less than 10 years.

My favourite and may I add, the prettiest financial vlogger I know is back. So happy. Please don’t leave us hanging for such a long time again. Welcome back Katie.

2:55 did you honestly just stereotype what men invest in based on the cryptobro minority? 🤦🏻‍♂️

Welcome back! Missed you 💖

Are they influencers or paid actors and cult members?

Glad to see you back on this channel!

Reagan talks about government being the problem not the solution. What was Reagan. Part of the government. He and his policies created alot of the problems we are still suffering from to this day.

This was the most confusing BullShit ever!

Oh that’s cool!!!
