How I Saved $380K By Age 29 To Retire Early | Fired Up
Пікірлер: 1 200
I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

A lot of folks downplay the role of advlsors until being burnt by their own emotions. I remember couple summers back, after my lengthy divorce, I needed a good boost to help my business stay afloat, hence I researched for licensed advisors and came across someone of utmost qualifications. She's helped grow my reserve notwithstanding inflation, from $275k to $850k.

These are very valuable rules for anybody who wants to get rich. Unfortunately, most people who will watch this video will not really be able to apply the principles. We may not want to admit, but as Warren Buffett once said, investing is like any other profession-- it requires a certain level of expertise. No surprise that some people are losing a lot of money in the bear market, while others are making hundreds of thousands in profit. I just don't know how they do it.

It's easy. Allocate a steady safe amount, cost averaging no matter what the market does. That's exactly what your employer plan is doing it only goes up faster due to that match instantly giving 100 percent growth no matter what the market does so is harder not to invest. Keep a dip amount and only invest on the really bad days. I mean BAD. This has worked out of me. If it's bad after the very ugly day by more...buy until it bottoms and ride the recovery. No big moves. If we hit a recession keep doing it. But remember the fall. It will teach you to allocate to safety once you have decent returns. Not to too greedy. Stocks appreciate and deprecate quickly... If you need it within the next 5 years... It shouldn't be invested.

After watching this I think there are people out there, on the extreme, who plan to die early just to be able to retire early. To each their own but to me retirement isn't just about not having to work, it's about having the freedom to do whatever you might reasonably want, such as travel, buying things, enjoying life, etc. I don't think I could retire with less than $3m in income generating investments, maybe $2m at the very minimum.

@Airplane Mode Style III I disagree. Yes, friends and family can make great memories, but so can money. For example, I take solo trips sometimes (usually a couple days) cost a few hundred bucks, and I go hiking by myself. Some of my favorite experiences are ones where I'm alone. These trips aren't possible without money. I'd also back up the claim of someone else who said something about renting cars. Yes, having friends there makes the experience better, but at the end of the day, going 200 mph is an experience, with or without friends. The same goes for Para gliding (something I want to do and will probably do it alone. Most of my friends are to scared.)
I wouldnt brag about not buying running shoes new. Running shoes should be replaced every 500ish miles. They are super important to keeping your legs and joints healthy. The first time I had shin splints in ten years of running was because my shoes were well worn past their service life. I ran distance in high school and now run regularly for the military so I'd say I'm somewhat qualified to speak on that. Invest in your health!

Keep grinding!! FIRE is totally worth it and your net worth continues to grow after you leave your job. I fired the 9-5 at 28 and it was the best decision I ever made.
A couple of things I noticed in this video: 1. He looks a little older than his age and nutritionally deficient. I wonder if that has to do with his diet and how he lives his life. I'm imagining that he doesn't eat as much meat, which provides essential protein, nutrients, and fat, because of cost 2. I wonder what his wife thinks about his living habits and values. Even though she has been with him for quite a few years now, I'm sure differences come up in terms of how to live life, spend money, do activities, etc. I would venture to guess that he might be depriving her of things she wants to do for FIRE 3. His math of $25K/year to retire will most likely be wrong. He will quickly find that in retirement you still have to "work" i.e. do things for money to keep his life sustainable and purposeful. 4. Saving is good, but if the decision of spending vs saving is giving you anxiety, obsession, and dysfunction, that you can't live properly and feel like you're not in control of your life, then you have a problem. This sounds to me like he used to have a psychological problem with respect to money and that's not good. All in all, I'm more in the camp of "having greater capacity to make more money" instead of "saving as much as possible given a set income" and this video demonstrates why.

Phenomenal video and enjoyed the content. The scariest word in this title is actually save... For me it comes down to investing and growing money not saving... Using the word saving can be very damaging without the right framework on building wealth!

comparing families to bank!! LOL! i guess it's just different culture. to us it's weird and to them its normal. then again, it is normal for them to kick their kids out at 18 or charge them rent and put their parents in nursing home when they grow old. Their values are just in different places.

Someone should do a study on people who are drawn to the FIRE movement. I'm sure there are variants and many different reasons why they are so intriguing with having the option to stop working. I'm one of these people, however I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. I want to FatFire. Actually I can now, but there are extremes on this end too. Some can stop at the $5million marker, some at $10mil, some at $30mil, and it keeps going.

Dis you just really make it seem like going to the gym is a bad thing. You're going to end up just like this loser, frail, and in wheelchair at 55.
Feeling anxious about money and having a fear about spending it does not make you financially independent ever. You will never have true wealth and freedom unless you learn how to manage, earn, save, invest and SPEND money. It’s an art, and not everyone is an artist.

@@ihatejpmorgan Traveling the world, going on vacation, living in a major city, driving a nice car, having nice clothes, and having personal trainers does not necessarily mean you have a better life at all. You could be a completely miserable person and have all those things. Also, that $100k of debt is going to haunt you as you go through your life.
I want to be financially independent but because I know my income isn't as high as someone working in tech or investment banking, it will take my another 15 years until i hit my number. There are things I could cut back to get there faster but I am making a choice to not deprive myself like this family is. Like this is beyond extra. And not even for them but the kid.

I wish I could play board games with you guys. We are also a family with 1 son and we also use second hand everything... We are not cheap, we prefer experiences vs objects and I am teaching my own children fullfillment does not have a price. We did go everywhere and don't miss a thing : laws of attraction works, and you can teach it from a young age. I don't ever interrupt when my child says 'I WANT' or 'I WISH'. Every day I remind myself of all we have, and I tell him: how lucky you are! Just like a mantra, even when rainy days comes, how lucky we are because we can splash!!! Like a mantra, really works.
I live in the Minneapolis area as well, will definitely need to check out Ruby pantry since groceries isn’t cheap nowadays unfortunately.

Buying used shoes for running is terrible. He should just invest in actual shoes there if that's his thing. Running degrades shoes like nothing else and proper cushioning is good to prevent injuries.
I respect what you have done. Great work. But I also think that it only takes a week in the hospital to drain that HSA and then some.
