    My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are 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?

    Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience.If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.

    Hi Mitch - great video. One thing is confusing me. Do you suggest putting in an amount each month into the index fund? You mentioned you started with £400 every month. Was that consistent irrespective of the fluctuations in the share prices? Or do you ignore that and stick to the consistency. If it does well though won’t you always be buying high?

  • @MitchShoesmith

    @MitchShoesmith

    Ай бұрын

    Hey, thanks! I did £400 a month because that was what I could afford at the time and invested it automatically irrespective of the stock market prices. I did invest more when the market collapsed in 2020 on a couple of months to capitalise from lower market prices but generally I’d say invest what you can afford, and don’t worry about market timing ☺️

    Hey, I have got a video on the channel somewhere about exactly how it’s set up! I think it’s a video called “how normal people can become rich” I made it a few months back. But yes, the way it’s set up is through a Ltd co, and is funded by my KZread business (also Ltd co). I’m currently employed so I don’t take any money out of either business account, so hopefully I’ll be able to reinvest the money quicker ☺️

    In the same way whatever he's indicated as the monthly payment won't be worth as much in the future so in the future you'll be paying in monthly much more than you are today? That's why many use 6 or 7% as a realistic rate of return as it accounts for inflation and as such the final figure given would in effect be in "today's money"
