I left home with an engineering degree and $600. 19 years later, my wife and I were millionaires. 13 years after that, we retired as multi-multi millionaires. Didn’t start a business. Didn’t inherit any wealth. Didn’t poop out solid gold nuggets. I avoided these 8 pitfalls. I’ll add a couple “do’s” too: Avoid debt. When you do borrow $ for a house or car, pay it down aggressively. Live below your means. Pay yourself first, then pay your needs, then consider spending on wants. Invest early & often. And lastly, make sure your investments are providing you passive income.

That sounds familiar. I was financially hobbled by spending much of my adult life. After finally finishing graduate engineering school in 1997, I got a real job. Then came the 2000s where portfolios showed almost no inflation-adjusted gains. This was disheartening but I kept saving and investing, believing that the stock market would have its day in the sun. Indeed this happened and my situation is now similar to Slapdat's. People crow about how the stock market's rise in the 2010s is unnatural, but then they're forgetting the 2000s, where there were no gains.

I spent years trying to distract myself from my crappy situation, which resulted in continuously spending money on new projects that never got finished, new books, new clothes, new art supplies, new craft projects, new plants, always looking for something new to distract myself from my own loneliness and misery. I think the one thing a lot of people forget though is that been constantly poor means that we are constantly buying cheap stuff. The cheap toaster that doesn't last a month, the cheap kettle that might last two. The cheap tv, the cheap fridge, washing machine, Etc. We can never buy extended warranty and never buy goods that last. This includes shoes, clothes, cars, etc. Even simple things like pens. Quality goods cost money. Then add in the fact we can't afford health insurance, home and contents insurance, car insurance, funeral insurance, life insurance and all the other things wealthy people probably don't even think about it. So if anything is lost, stolen, damaged, etc. We have to fork out money to replace it and not expect any help or compensation for it. Then there is education where even if you get a loan to study something, you do still need to pay that off. On top of rent, clothes, food, power, travel costs, study supplies... do I really need to go on? It does become something of a perpetuating problem. It is one I am finally starting to solve by making myself wait until I have the money to start buying quality stuff that lasts longer and reducing the constant need to replace stuff but it's something of a long, slow slog.

many years ago people would say: don't bite off more than you can chew. i nibbled my way through life and i own everything i have. save money and pay cash.

the thing that mattered the most for me was to make investments instead of purchases.

Do not let advertisers, social media, or peer groups decide for you that you need to buy things or have experiences. Enter the marketplace as a consumer only when you can identify exactly what you seek. If you have a vague sense of discontent, then you are easily sold goods and experiences by skilled and highly paid advertisers whereas you yourself have no formal history of studying advertising techniques and how to resist them. If an advertiser seems to discover what you need before you do, then DON'T BUY!!!

I disagree with the last one partially. Sure it's good to have more than one stream of income in case you lose your job, and investing is a good option, but spread yourself too thin with a million side hustles and you're not gonna be good enough at any to make any meaningful progress. I don't think you should have as many income streams as possible, just more than one and try to maximize the potential of each. The other points are great imo.

You didn't mention car. Especially new car. It is just huge drop of money in "garbage". It looses it's value and have quite high service expenses.

I am on disability. But, live in inexpensive condo, drive a super old car, don’t take vacations and pay my medical bills. I don’t get Medicare right away. So, the psychiatrist and medications are out of pocket for now. But, I at least put away $25 a month. That adds up. Even if I can only save $5 I will. I also have a budget. So, I know what is coming out each month. I also put enough money away, so that I could live without income for 5 months, fix the car, fix the apartment when I had a flood. I’m paying the air conditioner off. But it should only be for 10 months. I got it at 18 months interest free. I also had to replace the water heater and electrical panel. I also have done my nails and participated in hobbies. But, if I couldn’t, I would stop doing that for a while. Also. I try not to buy anything I don’t need. I don’t expect anyone to come and help me out. I know what it’s like to live tight. I have to do that. Because, I am waiting on a high special assessment on my condo. Rent is so high. I had to get a place to live. Even with all of the expenses, owning something is cheaper. My condo doesn’t have any amenities like the rental. But, at least during hard times I can keep a roof over my head. I have schizoaffective disorder. So, sometimes I spend more money than I should. But, I have people to watch me when I get that way. So, I am not going to judge somebody else. People like me can get homeless. I’ve seen it. I also know people who always have money. Of course because of my disability, I don’t have a lot of money. That’s okay. Because, I have a roof over my head. Not having money is scary. Because, I don’t want to lose the condo and be homeless. I live in a low income place. But, my next door neighbor became disabled from an accident and she may lose her condo.

Change the mentality of buying, buying, buying to saving. Make it your past time. I shop at thrift and Goodwill stores and yard sales. When there's what I regularly eat on sale I'll stock up months worth and if it's half price then that's doubling my money right there, which, is what investors try to do, right? Make it a part time job or a challenge to live on nothing or dang near it. Embrace it rather than resist it and just enjoy seeing money stay in your pocket and growing. And I am a proud dumpster diver. I read there's some in places like NYC that have become millionaires dumpster diving and incredibly,I can see that. If you find something and resell it and make $20.00 then that's just fun! And don't worry about what people think, they first don't care about you anyway and second, while they drive by you in their car they are stuck making payments on, you're loading your paid - for - with - cash - car with free stuff!

A very important spiritual advise in Proverbs 10:22: The blessings of the Lord (God) makes rich and he adds no sorrow with it. My advice... Trust God, build a relationship with Jesus Christ (not with religion) and He will give you freedom, wisdom, joy and also success. :)

@Dave Lyon did you not read the rest of what I said? This also happens between countries. Rich countries with corporations extract wealth from others. It's almost a 1 way street.

The video is too long. As soon as the reasons are writen, call me.

spend too much on car payments and soy lattes

These ideas are super obvious, and this video is not helpful

If you do not have self control, do not get a credit card. Words of Wisdom. Think of it as Credit Crack, not cards.

It’s hard to change the federal government

I'm not young and there are programs that if I invest (social security), I can go to prison (not like there is enough to invest anyway). So maybe your plan doesn't apply to everyone. I see this a lot, but none of you will do the time with me. The law says not more than $2,000 on hand. There is almost nothing that can be done with that amount.

Practical Wisdom, lol.

If you decide that you want to work for a living then you will stay poor for that one reason alone😴

1000% correct statement

We don't need 8 reasons for poverty. Money is the problem, and money, and the money system is on its way out, along with all of it's cronies. The hand of The Most High is at work correcting things.🙂👍

😂😂😂 sorry, I had to laugh at the rent tip. Considering this was created 3 weeks ago, I would assume you live in a cave?? I would LOVE to see a place less than $900/month that’s not completely run down and in a safe area in 2023…

How many pounds of food do you think McDonald's goes away every night just in your that's a lot of people that could be fed that are going hungry every night money keeps the two apart

It’s easier said than done. Family screw each other over, loss of job and have to take a minimum wage job etc. truth is without someone helping in anyway like a college student not paying rent or helping mom and pop with a lot of money. The answer is depends. In the 80s and 90s life was sooo much easier and many jobs available. Now nope. Now with society not having feelings or sympathy or a heart for others it’s tough. People like bosses are assholes especially when it’s a guy. If it’s a woman and she young life is easy as pie if you use it correctly.

Buy duplex, rentals on your block. Buy and drive old car. Learn how to cook at home. Paying rent is foolish. Time will go by. That is the one constant.

American dream is gone. You supposed to be happy in the usa. Instead you feel insecure .rising health care insurances. Car insurance rent,home to expensive need 2 million to retire etc etc

Does TESLA exist without the Obama stimulus package of 2009? The answer is no, but the American people don’t know that. Corporate America abandoned Musk when Obama gave them tax credits and investment money when Toyota left, but I’m sure that was government tax payer money that went to waste.

America is not a country America it's a continent with 35 countries. The US government is actually using the name of the continent. We are US citizens. Citizens of the United States. The United States is a country but America is not a country America it's a continent with 35 countries. The whole entire continent was already named America after Amerigo Vespucci in the year 1507. Everyone on the American continent is an American likewise Asia are Asians Africa are Africans and Europe are Europeans.

I'm not making any money, so none of these are relevant.
