AGE 20: Average Net Worth: $39,915
1. GET A CREDIT CARD
The point is to begin building up your credit score as soon as possible, and since 50% of your score is made up from your on-time payment history and how LONG you’ve had credit for…this is something you should do immediately.
2. OPEN A ROTH IRA
This will allow you to invest $6000 per year and grow your money COMPLETELY TAX FREE by the age of 59.5…meaning, by the time you’re older…everything is pure profit.
3. SAVE 20% OF YOUR INCOME
4. INVEST IN THE MARKETS
AGE 30: Average Net Worth: -$1043
1. GET A CREDIT SCORE OF AT LEAST 750
2. BE BAD-DEBT FREE BY 30 YEARS OLD
This means you’ve paid off any loans or debt that’s above a 5% interest rate, you don’t have any credit card debt or personal loans outstanding, and besides the possibility of a low interest rate mortgage or student loan…you don’t have anything weighing you down.
3. HAVE A 3-6 MONTH SAFETY FUND
4. AIM FOR 1X YOUR SALARY SAVED
AGE 40: Median Net Worth: $80,000
1. MAX OUT RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS ANNUALLY
2. MAXIMIZE YOUR EARNINGS
3. HAVE A BUDGET - NO MATTER WAHT
4. KNOW HOW MUCH YOU NEED TO RETIRE
The rule of thumb is that, for a 30-year retirement, you’ll need to have anywhere between 25 to 30x your annual spending INVESTED in order for that money to last you without running out.
AGE 50: Median Net Worth: $212,000
1. HAVE 7-8X YOUR SALARY SAVED, OR 10-12X YOUR EXPENSES
2. BE CLOSE TO PAYING OFF YOUR MORTGAGE
3. HAVE A CLEAR PLAN FOR RETIREMENT
AGE 60: Median Net Worth: $266,000
1. AIM FOR 10-12X YOUR SALARY SAVED UP
2. PAY OFF YOUR PRIMARY RESIDENCE
4. BEGIN WITHDRAWING FROM RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS
Obviously, this is only going to be a rough ballpark and some people may be way ahead or way behind this - but, that’s not important - it’s more important to realize that NOW is the best time to begin working towards these goals, and showing you that - the sooner you start - the easier it’s going to be…even if you’re not as far along as you would’ve liked.

    I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my inherited portfolio of about $2.5m. I’m used to just buying and holding assets which doesn’t seem applicable to the current rollercoaster market plus inflation is catching up with my portfolio. I’m really worried about survival after retirement.

    It's often true that people underestimate the importance of financial advisors until they feel the negative effects of emotional decision-making. I remember a few summers ago, after a tough divorce, when I needed a boost for my struggling business. I researched and found a licensed advisor who diligently helped grow my reserves despite inflation. Consequently, my reserves increased from $275k to around $750k.

I've been watching Graham's videos for a few years now, and taking his advice - so far I can say that he is absolutely correct in what he says and the strategies he talks about work if you're willing to put in the effort.

I'm glad I learned early on to work hard for financial independence. As Warren Buffet said, he has seen this happen many times in his life. Not an investor, My husband and i never earned more than a middle class salary. We plan to get retired at 58 with a stock portfolio worth $4M. We have never sold so much as one share of stock.

    Most people do not understand the power of compound interest or are just impatient. However, for the average Joe, I think it's better to invest in the S&P 500 and wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long: many years, or just use an investment advisor and speed up your wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.

    While I agree that most of the technical stuff (like alla finance channels in the US) is purely focused on the American financial system, a lot of the advice given is applicable to other countries. Take the 3-6 month emergency fund, totally relevant to everyone. Or paying off debt, also applicable. Investing as early as possible? You bet! But I get it that advice around credit scores, Roth IRA, 401k, tax deductions and so on are for American viewers. Personal finance is all about behavior and common sense, regardless of where you live (unless it's a third world, war-torn country) ;)

    Would love to see a part two on this video going in depth on how to set these kinds of things up for everyone who is new, im 21 and am so thrown off by how much there is to offer when it comes down to long term investments. Love the video, would of loved to have seen the average hourly wage and career options when it comes down to younger individuals say with student loan debt. It's so impractical to say roughly $400 a month for the rest of my life into a Roth, when I've got a $600 a month in loan payments, cost of living being well over $1500 a month. Car payments, insurance for all thing especially after you turn 26...... there just isn't many job opportunities even into your 30's that can support the normal cost of living and thats why everyone's in debt statistically until they are well into their 30's to early 40's which just isn't right in a life that's so short.

    I love Graham but the problem with these types of videos is they do not take inflation into account. You're telling a 20-year-old how much they need saved to have a good retirement in today's dollars rather than in estimated future dollars in 40 years. That's going to be a huge difference that you should really account for in these types of videos that would make it a lot more useful.

    If you’re feeling discouraged bc you were like me, in your mid 30’s with nothing invested or saved for retirement. Even worse you’re still renting, had cc debt and student loans. There’s still hope. Invest in amc or GameStop. I made 10k this year, paid off my cc debt, then used 2.5k of that reinvested it into amc and have doubled my money again from one month ago. Amc changed my life and that’s just holding shares, and selling covered calls or cash secured puts. If I can do it you can do it. And that’s not even the short squeeze which is still on the table and hasn’t happened yet.

    Yo Graham, for future reference I'd recommend using the median rather than the average for most of the data points (such as income and amount invested). Based on the reference data in the video, the median numbers on that site are significantly lower, but also a far better indicator of how people are doing. (the average numbers are heavily skewed by the massive incomes of only a few people in those age brackets, whereas the median is a more true indicator) Was a great video though, great job on it.

  • @peterjoseph9292

    @peterjoseph9292

    2 жыл бұрын

    The reason you want a high credit score is that you will get better loan offers from banks, like lower interest rates and higher loan amounts. So I don’t think it matters if you have a credit card or not as long as you have a high credit score. But you do need a card at least till you get above the score you want, because closing an account will hurt your credit score. Hope this helps more than the bot reply
