    I had $25k saved up debt free by 25 but I got sick at 25 and had to use all that money on doctor visits/tests/medicine. Now I have to start back from 0, it sucks so bad but I’m glad to still be here and I’ll keep grinding to build my wealth back up. It’s gonna take me a while but I’m not giving up.

    Inflation is far more harmful to individuals than a collapsing stock or property market because it directly affects people's cost of living, which they immediately feel. It is not surprising that the current market sentiment is extremely pessimistic. In today's economy, assistance is critical if we are to survive.

Will live on the rental income I receive and live with my aging parents for the time being. At 60 I can withdrawal from my superannuation (401(k)). Have savings and eligible for the Australian pension at 63. In the future I may downsize, sell the property and buy cheaper property and add the left over money from the sale to savings. Lots of options for me. The way I see it if you have $1m at some point, that’d be enough to create a portfolio that would pay you between 50k-70k in dividend income.

    Building good spending habits is easily the most important rule here. Take any unnecessary expense you have each month and multiply that by 12x and again by 15x (if you're 40 years from retirement), the first # is how much you don't invest this year and the second # is how much you don't in at least 40 years (assuming a 7% growth rate). Weed, beer, games, sports betting, clothes, shoes, w/e it is it adds up after awhile and sometimes looking at the 40 year cost of somethings makes you stop doing it.

      Hang in there Our parents always taught us to look after our own retirement before your kids needs. Dad had a stroke and we kept him in his home for about 17 years. Worn out, we finally put him in a nursing home. It took 4 firemen and myself to get him loaded up (He was like a caged animal). He starved himself out in 30 days in the nursing home. He was a tough character.

They may qualify for a visiting nurse once or twice per month. Many assume this is a burden they have to take on alone just because no one is informing them of their options.

I wish i could go back in time and explain to my parents how to invest, they died with basically nothing, even after a life of work. I intend to not make those same mistakes. I am hammering into my kids heads that compound growth, avoiding debt, and saving/investing now will help them as they grow.

      One of the keys is to have a separate bank account that you never withdraw from. You deposit something in it every week; even if it's only $10 or $20. If all your money is in the same account; it is so easy to withdraw from it and then not save much. Money makes money so the earlier people start the better. Many people never get started so starting in your 50's is fine.

We have a combined net worth of over $200k. The biggest thing that worked was increasing our income and working side jobs that pay my mortgage off quickly. Highly recommend a strong budget and automatic withdraws of the Investments. Plan to retire at 55 and enjoy our older age.

    Thank you Brian! Will be coming into my 30s very soon and out of unexpected life events/poor financial literacy a few years ago, but have been working on discipline to set myself up for the future! Looking forward to educating myself and seeing more of your videos!

    Love saving tips that would only work if you come from money but not if you work

    This is good. I’m in my 50s. 5 years away from retirement. I started late in saving. One obstacle at a time. Got the kids thru college debt free! I work part time. Hard to save as much as Brian suggested, but I invested in learning. I got my notary license, and am working at creating more income. It’s slow to be honest, but it keeps me busy and not shopping. So that’s a plus!

      I hope your kids will be around to help you out for the sacrifice you made for their education.

      Woah amazing. I had student loans and it honestly stressed me out. I hope your kids will appreciate your efforts, it will really give them a great boost to their financial stability.

      He’s definitely making a lot of money here on YT. I’d venture to say though he’ll never show any income statements from it.

    Great video! I've also heard that not delaying taking social security benefits and then invest it yourself is an option for a better return. Also it depends on your tax bracket if you will end up getting taxed more or less depending on the total from all sources of income, including 401k, etc.
    Can you provide some numbers for people who live in California or other states that require more savings in order to retire?
