I have a $90,000 portfolio that I've been working on for 5 years, but lately the volatility in the market scares me... Is the bull market over? I'm thinking about moving my investments to safer options like a hysa or T-bills. What do you think?
It depends on your goals-whether you're looking to grow your money, earn income, keep your savings safe, or how much risk you can handle and how close you are to retirement.
Accurate asset allocation is crucial with an Experts guidance. I have 850k in equity, 75 cash earning 5.25 interest, 685k in roth ira, 120k in 401k, Gold and silver bars. age is 48. My advisr helped me realign my portfolio to my risk tolerance and it boomed shortly.
Melissa Elise Robinson is the advisr I use and im just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Mate, 10 years ago I was too busy wasting money, thinking I knew everything and that I was going to live forever. 30 is still young. When you are 40, then 30 will start to sound really good. Good luck 👊
@@BryanInvest😆 56, on a close to minimum, casual wage. Some weeks I only get 8-10 hrs work. And I lived overseas for 24 yrs, so I have barely any super. I was ok at saving, but always been on a low wage & knew nothing about investing. Think yourself lucky, because it can always be worse. Don’t regret those 10 years because you still have heaps of time.
Hey brother, like i am 18 and i am soon coming to Australia to study... I believe that this age is perfect for me to understand investing money.. So i would like to ask a question like if i have $400 a month, how should i start risk free? Kindly reply ❤
I would love to start investing too but the constant market volatility and diff manipulations by big sharks makes me wonder if people still make profits investing.
There is no such thing as "risk free" when it comes to investing, so forget that from the start. My advice would be to invest in an index fund each month, which you can do via direct debit/Bpay. Set and forget and you don't need to worry about market movement, you just invest $400 worth every month. Good luck
@@randolphwagner7658 I make profits/achieve growth through investing in the market via an indexed fund. For me it's the best option as I get access to the 200 or 300 best stocks in AU, or an overseas index, and someone else manages the buys and sells when certain stocks fall out of the indexes. If you commit to investing the same amount each month, you will end up with an average price for the year, rather than having to try to time the market through the highs and lows which is easy to get wrong. Warren Buffet is a big advocate of an index fund for the majority of people, as most of us won't beat the market in the long term, unless you're a professional investor.
Check out a broker called Pearler. RAIZ micro investing also possible. Pearler offers micro investing too. However, depends on your longer term plan. Might be better to save up and buy an etf every 3 months with 3x $400. Per transaction pearler charges $6.5. So waiting 3 months to buy one packet is not a bad idea. Min packets are $500. Pearler is unique in that you can set up automatic investing. CHESS holding is important for Australian shares, not recommended to chase the cheapest brokerage fee and not have CHESS holding
Thank you for the kind words, Leanne :) Reminds me of the saying: 'The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today'. I wish you all the best for the future 😊
Absolutely. You need to be realistic about your goals but at the same time have an abundance mindset. This is absolutely achievable for most people. It may just take longer for some.
Avocado! Great video, thankyou Bryan 😊 I've never had a well paying job or been in a position to ask for a raise - Casual work, apprenticeship, temp, and now a small business owner, so basically under, at or just above minimum wage for my whole working life (I'm mid 30s now). I just wanted to point out to everyone that it's totally still possible to invest and make passive income, even on a low salary. I invested in shares and property and now half of my income is passive income. And I fully own one property with no mortgage. Obviously if you can get a raise or higher paying job, go for it, but if you can't (like i couldn't) and/or you just really enjoy working in a low-paying industry (yep, that's me again), you can still invest on the side. We can all get to FIRE 👍 New sub from me Bryan, thanks again!
Hey Rachel, thank you for sharing! That’s a great point. I think a lot of people just give up before even trying. FIRE is definitely something everyone can strive towards. You start small then build up momentum. Even if you can’t increase your income, your wealth is always compounding. Wish you all the best on your journey 😊
Nice video - good explanation on debt recycling. Also good that you highlighted the fact that it's not a "sin" to go back to work (part-time/volunteer) coz of boredom. People usually use this as an excuse to stop their FIRE journey - saying "I will get bored anyway" or "You're not doing FIRE if you work again, why bother".
Thanks Angelo 👍 yes, I agree that people just use it as an excuse to stop FIRE. The whole point of FIRE is to take money out of the equation when it comes to doing what you want. People do get bored and need a purpose in life.
Avocado. Thank you for making videos for Australians!! It’s frustrating when other videos keep talking about Roth 401 etc. Please keep going! You have a new sub.
Haha I know what you mean. I hated it when I first tried to look up investing info on CZcams many years ago and it was all American! I appreciate your support 💙
Biggest lesson i learnt in 2023 in the stock market is that nobody knows what is going to happen next, so practice some humility and low a strategy with a long term edge.
Nobody knows anything; You need to create your own process, manage risk, and stick to the plan, through thick or thin, While also continuously learning from mistakes and improving.
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
I don't think I need a finance advisor. I can manage my own money and investments. I don't want to pay someone else to tell me what to do with my hard-earned cash.
@@JasonAmir-qo4uo I used to think like you. I thought I knew enough about finance and investing to handle everything myself. But then I realized that I was spending too much time and energy on researching, analyzing, and monitoring my finances. I was also overwhelmed by the amount of information and options available. I decided to hire a finance advisor and it was one of the best decisions I ever made. They saved me a lot of time and money, and gave me peace of mind.
That's a risky attitude, My friend. You might be missing out on some valuable opportunities and strategies that a finance advisor can offer. A finance advisor can help you plan for your short-term and long-term goals, optimize your tax situation, diversify your portfolio, and avoid costly mistakes.
Wonderful video, Bryan! I'm about to start my journey so perfect timing. Are there tax implications for living overseas as an Australian Citizen? (Avocado) 🥑
Hi Sarah, that's great! Good luck on your journey. Yes, there will be some tax rules you need to be aware of. If you are seriously considering moving overseas then I would recommend seeing a tax accountant. However, this article is a good start: www.ato.gov.au/Individuals/Coming-to-Australia-or-going-overseas/Australians-living-overseas/
Avocado Thanks for the video!! But remember, if you look after your health and well-being when you are young, you don't have to worry about inability to travel when you are old 😊
Great video as always Bryan. Any thoughts on what you should do if you're coasting so you don't have a huge amount of tax to reduce through "good" debt? I.e. at what point do you think your "good" debt has done enough so that any more income generating investments do make money, but obviously get taxed at your marginal rate (which admittedly might not be that much if you're just barista/coasting). Anyway, should help us all enjoy a bit of avocado toast as we enjoy our later years.
Cheers Rory. That's an interesting question. I suppose it comes down to how comfortable you are with using debt and your risk tolerance. The barefoot investor always recommends avoiding debt and to pay off your home outright due to the psychological benefits. Also, if you're coasting then you basically only need to 'make it' until you turn 60. So you technically only need to earn enough for you to cover your monthly expenses. If you want to just live a fairly comfortable life over a more luxurious one then using 'good debt' to squeeze out every tax benefit becomes optional, rather than a necessity.
Loved the video, great info. You know this effortlessly as breathing hence you talk super fast, pro tip while educating perhaps you could talk slower for the learners, I had pause several times and go back but it was worth it. Thank you!
Great video. I alway grapple with whether we should pump savings into an offset account against a mortgage versus putting it into the sharemarket. With the offset you are "saving" the 6+% and i'm not sure you will get the same "guaranteed" "savings" from shares. In addition, in my experience, maybe because of the shares i've been dealing with, but the dividends received barely amounts to having enough to buy a Big Mac meal.
Hey mate, thank you! You made some good points. Another advantage of leaving money in offset is that the savings are both guaranteed AND tax free. Whereas, we have to pay tax on dividends and capital gains for shares. Also, shares are not guaranteed to go up all the time. It comes down to risk vs reward. In time where the interest rates are low, shares may be more attractive and vice versa. As for dividends, if you set them to DRP, it will help the compound effect over the long term.
Thanks a lot mate. Yeah, property investing would have the same principle but with different strategy. I'll do a video in the future about FIRE with property.
Avocado. Nice style Bryan. Could you make a clip exploring the sums around how much super is enough, so no further contributions are required? I.e. mid 30s, 100k in super, at 7% growth, by the preservation age, is that enough? Taking into account inflation as well. Using your super seems to significantly impact the fire number, if you only need to get to 60.
Hi Bryan invest. Ok my request from you is to do a video on super fund performance AFTER fees. I never understand why all the various experts worry about fees as its the outcome I’m interested in. What were the best performing superfunds for 5 and 10 years after fees? If you make 10% after fees but had to pay 50% fee then who cares. If you make 8% after fees but 1% in fees than that is not as good
My health will be shit by 60 when I can access super. I’m reducing my salary sacrifice to superannuation and putting that money into my non retirement portfolio. I want to be work optional by my 50s. I will still probably work because I enjoy it but I’d like to have options.
I have some experience in the cryptocurrency space and would be happy to share what I've learned along the way. Whether you need help understanding market trends, setting up secure wallets, or deciding when to buy or sell, I'm here to assist you.
Avocado. Please could you make a video on FIRE options for Immigrants in Australia? As a son of an immigrant parent yourself, I. Sure you can relate. Thank you.
Haha asked for a $1 payrise got told I should be getting a pay cut due to wellbeing tax (2%) and super going up (0.5% each year) plus interest rates going up on corporate homeloan which all of the employees salary is stored as they can take 3-6 months to pay our contract company. Glad there's plenty of positions available but I'm pretty happy with my income. In Victoria it's a terrible idea to invest in real estate but it's good in Qld, buying my first home shortly then will be investing money left over into ETF which is good that I'm doing that now as theyve all gone down a fair chunk over the past 6 months. Im only 33 so doing pretty darn well, already did the FHSSS the tax when taking it out sucked haha. I love working so doubt ill retire early, $130k pa gross at the moment, travel paid for, food paid for, hotel/fuel, i only have to pay for food when im not travelling for work 😂 helping hundreds of people daily, hardest part was 4 years of uni on centrelink, being homeless on $70 a fortnight and getting out of that situation, ive done good but i know i can do better XD
Mate, thank you for sharing this with us. Well done for getting to where you are. It seems you know the direction you want to go and already on your way. The part about the $1 pay rise made me laugh out my coffee! LOL. I wish you all the best on your journey. Keep doing what you’re doing 👊
@@BryanInvest cheers man keep it up, buying the house today which is exciting XD should have it paid off in 4-6 years whilst migrating it to good debt XD
I would recommend watching these videos: czcams.com/video/5wOkzuPzGaY/video.htmlsi=fN3aGDhN6J-zYGZW czcams.com/video/Xg8qykyFfdo/video.htmlsi=TpzVHSZ9RqiqOsAd czcams.com/video/w3PRA2czQJY/video.htmlsi=q_xP5kT7nqmd9pVL
Hey Bryan , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you enhance editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Assumption is that you’re already in the housing market young, and half the house half paid off. Doesn’t work in Australia unless you’re a kid of wealthy boomers
Yeah, it’s unfortunate for this new generation to enter the housing market. However, you could move to a cheaper state or town if you really want it to work.
Hi Byran, I just came across your channel this is my first video of yours. Its so professional. Along the lines of a different source of income. I have recently started a youtube channel. How did you learn how to do your videos? Which courses did you do to learn this? think media, Ali abdaal? Thanks will be watching your other videos thanks.
Avocado....... I am 58 and so disappointed that I didn't learn so many of the things that you discuss in your video. If only I knew 25% of what I know now. Really great content...
Thanks mate. I appreciate it. I feel your pain. It grinds my gears that these life skills aren’t taught in school instead of learning how to calculate the circumference of a circle 🤷🏻♂️
I have some experience in the cryptocurrency space and would be happy to share what I've learned along the way. Whether you need help understanding market trends, setting up secure wallets, or deciding when to buy or sell, I'm here to assist you.
It depends on what you want exposure to. In the past the US and Aussie market have performed quite similarly. However, this does not mean it will continue this way. All we can do is speculate. You could look at an ETF that has a bit of everything so that you are well diversified.
Can you make a video about options trading? I got an account with interactive brokers and although I meet all the criteria they publicly ask for (experience in stocks and options) they still don't give me access to short options and refuse to tell me why 🤷🏻♂️. Can you please make a video about that?
This may be off topic, but I’m interested in the differences in risk between mutual funds and index funds. I know that mutual funds are more expensive due to being managed by a fund manager. But from a negative risk perspective is there much between them? 🥑
Not much in them. In Australia, Mutual Funds are called Managed Funds and you can invest in them directly from providers like Vanguard. The easiest way to invest in Index Funds are through an ETF. For example, VAS which is probably Australia's most popular ETF has a Managed Fund or ETF version on the Vanguard website: www.vanguard.com.au/personal/invest-with-us/etf?portId=8205
Is that house deposit thing possible in some other way if I've owned before? No ones interested in talking to me if I'm not a first home buyer it seems. 🥑

You sure can mate. As long as you are working on increasing your income.

Hey mate, love your positive attitude. I have no doubt you will go far with this mindset. I wish you all the best with your journey! 🙌
Thanks Bryan, I can't wait for your next video!@@BryanInvest
Love your content. When it comes to saving and investing would love to get more info. Do you have a website or guide
Thanks James. I don't have one yet but I may soon be starting a website and a newsletter. Keep a look out!
Avocado 🥑 Thanks Bryan for this content. Really informative. I wish I knew all these 10 years ago.
Thanks mate. Me too! Wish they taught this stuff in school.
🥑Thanks Bryan great video.
Thanks Carol 😊

No problem! Thanks for watching mate 😄
Great video bud
Cheers mate!
Very informative - well done (avocado).
Thanks mate! 🥑
Please make a video if u wanna sell ur house and live overseas and rely on interest
Avocado. Nice style Bryan. Could you make a clip exploring the sums around how much super is enough, so no further contributions are required? I.e. mid 30s, 100k in super, at 7% growth, by the preservation age, is that enough? Taking into account inflation as well. Using your super seems to significantly impact the fire number, if you only need to get to 60.
Thanks mate. Interesting idea. I think it will help a lot of people to use a case study as an example. I'll definitely put it on the list.
Great work buddy, we need more aussie avocado farmers😂
Awesome
Avocado 🤙🏻
Making me hungry mate 🥑
10K payrise is only $5300 for some of us. Its easier to spend $5300'/less than get a 10K payrise.
That's a fair point mate 🙏 Luck and circumstances does play a factor.
Hi Bryan invest.
Ok my request from you is to do a video on super fund performance AFTER fees.
I never understand why all the various experts worry about fees as its the outcome I’m interested in.
What were the best performing superfunds for 5 and 10 years after fees?
If you make 10% after fees but had to pay 50% fee then who cares. If you make 8% after fees but 1% in fees than that is not as good
That sounds like an interesting video. I'll put it on my list. Thanks!
avocado, thanks for the info, its was great
Cheers mate! All the best 👊
My health will be shit by 60 when I can access super. I’m reducing my salary sacrifice to superannuation and putting that money into my non retirement portfolio. I want to be work optional by my 50s. I will still probably work because I enjoy it but I’d like to have options.
I feel the same way! All the best to you 👍
🥑 I am just starting to wake up in how to save money to pay off my personal loan sooner. Thank you for the video
I have some experience in the cryptocurrency space and would be happy to share what I've learned along the way. Whether you need help understanding market trends, setting up secure wallets, or deciding when to buy or sell, I'm here to assist you.
Avocado. Please could you make a video on FIRE options for Immigrants in Australia? As a son of an immigrant parent yourself, I. Sure you can relate. Thank you.
That would be an interesting video! Thanks for the idea. I will put it on my list.
Haha asked for a $1 payrise got told I should be getting a pay cut due to wellbeing tax (2%) and super going up (0.5% each year) plus interest rates going up on corporate homeloan which all of the employees salary is stored as they can take 3-6 months to pay our contract company.
Glad there's plenty of positions available but I'm pretty happy with my income. In Victoria it's a terrible idea to invest in real estate but it's good in Qld, buying my first home shortly then will be investing money left over into ETF which is good that I'm doing that now as theyve all gone down a fair chunk over the past 6 months.
Im only 33 so doing pretty darn well, already did the FHSSS the tax when taking it out sucked haha. I love working so doubt ill retire early, $130k pa gross at the moment, travel paid for, food paid for, hotel/fuel, i only have to pay for food when im not travelling for work 😂 helping hundreds of people daily, hardest part was 4 years of uni on centrelink, being homeless on $70 a fortnight and getting out of that situation, ive done good but i know i can do better XD
Mate, thank you for sharing this with us. Well done for getting to where you are. It seems you know the direction you want to go and already on your way. The part about the $1 pay rise made me laugh out my coffee! LOL.
I wish you all the best on your journey. Keep doing what you’re doing 👊
@@BryanInvest cheers man keep it up, buying the house today which is exciting XD should have it paid off in 4-6 years whilst migrating it to good debt XD
Thank you!! Avocado :)
Ah thanks for watching! 😊🥑
Thank you so much 🥑
💚💚💚
Avocado good on you Brian, love your video's.
Thank you, Deb 💛
avocado
good stuff mate, thanks a lot
Cheers mate! Enjoy the avo 🥑
Been investing in LICs and ETFs for 10yrs this year. I’m interested in a video about differences between LICs and ETFs
Thanks for the comment! I'll definitely do a video about this topic soon.
That’s awesome. Either is great. Depends on your current income and financial goal (retirement or financial independence) which one is more optimal
Avocado! was a very good video mate, appreciate it. One suggestion would be to speak a little bit slower if possible!
Thank you! Haha, yeah I get that a lot. I'm trying my best to speak slower on camera.
Smashed avo on toast! Great content, thanks.
Thanks Laurence! 🫡
How do i start investing is shares or where do i learn about share, dividends etf etc? Where does one start who knows nothing about it?

Avacado : hey can you do a video on interactive brokers like you did on stake vs cmc
Cheers mate. Haven't tried interactive brokers yet but I'll put it on my to do list :)
Avocado.. Great video! My new found CZcams finance guy 🥑👌
Hey Bradley, I’m glad to have you here mate 👊
Avocado!! Amazing video
Thanks so much! 💙
Hey Bryan , really nice video! I was wondering if I could help you enhance editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your video to reach to a wider audience .
Thanks mate. Not looking to hire right now but I'll keep you in mind when I do 🙂
@@BryanInvest Sure , No problem
Avocado - can you making a video on your tips to invest on US funds please?
Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll add it to the list!
Avocado! Great vid
Thanks!
Assumption is that you’re already in the housing market young, and half the house half paid off. Doesn’t work in Australia unless you’re a kid of wealthy boomers
Yeah, it’s unfortunate for this new generation to enter the housing market. However, you could move to a cheaper state or town if you really want it to work.
Hi Byran, I just came across your channel this is my first video of yours. Its so professional. Along the lines of a different source of income. I have recently started a youtube channel. How did you learn how to do your videos? Which courses did you do to learn this? think media, Ali abdaal? Thanks will be watching your other videos thanks.
Avocado....... I am 58 and so disappointed that I didn't learn so many of the things that you discuss in your video. If only I knew 25% of what I know now.
Really great content...
Thanks mate. I appreciate it. I feel your pain. It grinds my gears that these life skills aren’t taught in school instead of learning how to calculate the circumference of a circle 🤷🏻♂️
I have some experience in the cryptocurrency space and would be happy to share what I've learned along the way. Whether you need help understanding market trends, setting up secure wallets, or deciding when to buy or sell, I'm here to assist you.
Can you talk about how hosing in australia impacts fire?
That’s a great idea for a future video! Thanks
Avocado! Thanks mate
We are currently doing this. I don't think I could ever retire fully though.
Congrats and good luck Maggie! Yep, I am the same. I won't be able to sit still.
Cheers mate. 🥑

Hey mate. Does it matter which combination of ETFs to invest in? Should we focus on Australia or American ETFs? 🥑
It depends on what you want exposure to. In the past the US and Aussie market have performed quite similarly. However, this does not mean it will continue this way. All we can do is speculate. You could look at an ETF that has a bit of everything so that you are well diversified.
Avocado, cheers mate
Thank you mate! 🥑
Would it be better to debt recycle to a new investment property instead of ETFs?
Good question. You could absolutely do that if you prefer real estate over stocks. Not sure if it's 'better' or 'worse' though.
Avocado cheers for the info
Cheers Phillip 👍
I enjoyed your free avocado thanks 👍🏻 by the way pay rise…?🤔
Thank you Ashley! Did you ask for a pay rise at work this year?
Avocado! Great vid.
Thanks ☺️
Guacamole! 🙂 Thanks for the good content.
Thanks Adriana! That’s my FIRE goal. Have enough money so I can afford extra Guacamole in my burrito 😄
Avocado 🥑 thanks again!
Cheers Sian 👍
Can you make a video about options trading? I got an account with interactive brokers and although I meet all the criteria they publicly ask for (experience in stocks and options) they still don't give me access to short options and refuse to tell me why 🤷🏻♂️. Can you please make a video about that?
I'm not really an options trader but it's an interesting topic so I'll put it on my video idea list. Thanks!
This may be off topic, but I’m interested in the differences in risk between mutual funds and index funds. I know that mutual funds are more expensive due to being managed by a fund manager. But from a negative risk perspective is there much between them? 🥑
Not much in them. In Australia, Mutual Funds are called Managed Funds and you can invest in them directly from providers like Vanguard. The easiest way to invest in Index Funds are through an ETF. For example, VAS which is probably Australia's most popular ETF has a Managed Fund or ETF version on the Vanguard website: www.vanguard.com.au/personal/invest-with-us/etf?portId=8205

Is that house deposit thing possible in some other way if I've owned before? No ones interested in talking to me if I'm not a first home buyer it seems. 🥑
No, unfortunately if you have previously owned a house in Australia then you won’t be eligible for the FHOG.
