    Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got to talking about investment and money. I started investing with $150k and in the first 2 months, my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and get more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.

      Hi. I’ve been forced to find additional sources of income as I got retrenched. I barely have time to continue trading and watch my investments since I had my second child. Do you think I should take a break for a while from the market and focus on other things or return whenever I have free time or is it a continuous process? Thanks

    A lot of my friends ragged on me for paying off my house before covid happened while interest rates were low instead of investing. They're now struggling with 7-9% interest rates along with higher inflation with groceries and catching up after their work gaps during covid. They've had to pull a lot of their retirement funds. Something about a paid off house is so comforting and empowering, and that money that's just freed up every month feels better vs. having to potentially pull money out of retirement and be taxed on it. My friends haven't ragged on me in a few years for obvious reasons. Im happy when i hear people like this have a paid off house cause i know the peace of mind that comes with it.

    • @ourtube4266
      @ourtube4266 Před 4 měsíci

      If you already had the loan before COVID when interest rates were low and they got stuck with high rates later, it’s more about getting lucky with the housing market and has nothing to do with paying off that mortgage. In fact, if you secured a 2-3% mortgage then that’s the absolute best loan to keep for its duration and focus on investing.
      Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy for you, but I think you just got very lucky by locking in a great rate.
      Unless, you had a variable rate mortgage, in that case you absolutely crushed it and you probably did the best thing for your finances.

With the profit from selling we would be able to pay off our home and then some. Everything else is paid off. We are thinking of adding a second story in the next 5-7 years so not sure if this is the way to go. Thoughts?

Texas law the ex wife got the paid off house and kids we adopted even as I was mr mom. Man discrimination my humble opinion. Perhaps I should of claimed I was trans and Texas would have fallen alk over themselves to grant me custody. Lol.
    Wife had a job she loved a career I helped her pay for I thought If anything happened to me I wanted her to be able to get a job she liked or I had insurance, savings etc. So she would not need to work . Silly me. Continuing she did get free house in divorce winnings and 2 grand she thought as future child support. After all her mother told her if she divotced she would get this much.....She Lost paid off house by getting home equity loans to buy 3 new cars. Lost job. Kicked out son we adopted. Court this time no child support to be paid by either party. I went back to work for another 18 years at various jobs I could find .i.always loved work and started a working as a child on a dairy farm at 10 years old. Boring sitting around anyway. Now 65 after lost last part time employment at 58. So either unemployed or retired. Social security income zero . May wait to 70. IRA income zero, waiting on this as well. Have a small house. Paid off and 33 year old adopted son still in house. He Works and may go back to school. In the mean time I am Living off savings in a vanguard balanced fund that actually did do better than sp 500 fund and some growth too. Son pays a portion of utilities as he should.

We need to replace the roof the electrical and the plumbing because we were busy putting our children through college and basically focused on that getting them through college and did not do any major upgrades to the house because we couldn’t afford it. Now that we’re going to be paying off their house we are debating if we should pull money from the equity or take out a loan to do all the things that we need to do to the home or turn around and try to sell it and move to a home that doesn’t require a lot of work.

      I am 33, my husband is 34. We have 3 children, 12,11,7 and we never made over $65,000 a year. I am a "stay at home mom". We are mortgage free. Our house is worth around $325,000 to $350,000 as is with room for some sweat equity. We also just purchased a duplex for cash. We started investing in real estate on the side when we were 20 and i helped my husband with building homes in addition to him working his normal job roofing. We are just now enjoying the results of sacrificing and working hard

    Diversify if you want to settle down. Don't diversify if you're still trying to be aggressive and are okay with a higher risk.

    I would hate to think of how difficult it would have been without two people working on it!!!!! They also have about 360K they are making so in the top percent of the population already. WHAT CR*P how many listening could not do similar if they made that much in a place not know to be super expensive!!!!!!????

    Why would I pay a mortgage at 3.1% off early? I can triple that in the stock market every year. Everyone paying off their low interest mortgages (5% and down) early are leaving money on the table. What is the point?

  • @chriswalker83cw
    @chriswalker83cw Před 3 měsíci

    With interest rates still being relatively low paying off a mortgage doesn't really make that much sence when the same money can be invested to earn compound interest instead. At least that's my take on it.

  • @mihaiconstantin-pau5116

    I am amazed by how many lack financial skills and are excited about this. Paying otna low interest mortgage is the most wasteful thing you can do with your cash
