A lot of folks downplay the role of advisors 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.

Her name is BRIANNA MCKEE HARRIS, can’t divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like

It's recommended to save at least 15% of your income in a 401k. You can use online calculators to estimate how much you should save based on your age and income. Saving at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) can help ensure that you have enough money to retire comfortably. By saving this much, you can take advantage of compound interest and potentially grow your retirement savings over time.

According to the New York Times, the average savings of a couple reaching retirement is $110k I’m closing in on my retirement and I’m under pressure to grow my reserve of $330k, despite the fact the capital gains you can make on growth stocks far outweigh dividend yields, and even in downtrends folks still pull off 6-7figures gains in months. surely the risk is much greater, but I’d love to know how.

The uncertainties accompanying this present market is more reasons I have my daily investment decisions guided by a portfolio-coach seeing that their entire skillset is built around going long and short at the same time, both employing profit-oriented strategy and laying off risk as a hedge against the inevitable downtrends, coupled with the exclusive information/analysis, it's quite impossible not to outperform. Netted over $1.5m in return on investment, since using a coach for about 2years.

The retirement fund that my wife and I have built up is doing quite nicely. The majority of the money, which averaged roughly $2 million, was made by taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase luxury stocks at a significant discount during the Great Recession. 2009 saw my stockbroker fired, all of my mutual funds liquidated, and I purchase individual dividend stocks.

What's needed? Liquid cash. Everyone only has credit. If you have stacks of cash, you can capitalize on everyone's credit. A recession as bad it can be, provides good buying opportunities in the markets if you’re careful and it can also create volatility giving great short time buy and sell opportunities too. This is not financial advise but get buying.

What also helped is to always ask myself before a purchase if this is an asset or liability. It helped big time growing wealth.

Exactly how we live. Always lived on way less than we make and I keep a very intentional budget. We have a paid off house that we bought for $100,000 and is worth over $300,000 now with sweat equity. We’re now worth over $2 mil with investments and in our early 30s. We work because we like what we do and we have a lot of fun camping and hiking with our kids. While our friends blow money on depreciating assets, we drive modest vehicles. You don’t need to blow money to have fun in life. We are comfortable, content, happy, and stress free.

Fantastic and TRUE!! I used most of these philosophies and paid off my house 10 years earlier thanks to a lot of wise things like renting out my basement. No debt, spending 30-40% below income etc. I am now retired happily since the age of 50...still save much more than my passive income. I did work as an hourly IT consultant getting paid for results and high hourly rates. I also did part time real estate for a few years. Fantastic real advice Graham ... good job!

Great video! I'm so glad to see more and more people discussing FIRE and financial independence! 🙌 my husband and I are on track to be financially independent in 12 years, with a paid off house, kids and all. That puts me at 41 years old when we accomplish this! But I don't think I'll ever stop working, I get too much fulfillment from it. But I'll be excited to have the freedom to pursue whatever I want, even if it's a lower paying job that I love.

My husband mentioned wanting to retire early shortly after we purchased our first home a year ago; I thought he was joking, but he wasn't, so we looked into it, crunched the numbers, and were surprised to see we could actually do it. We were already living well below our means, which made the decision easy. We just made some investment adjustments when we started to understand the power of compound interest, and now we are well on our way!

Having a good retirement investment plan and making the right investment early or rather at an early stage plays an important role in becoming a millionaire even before your 50s...make more thorough researches before investing or better still, get a fin. advisor.

Saving and investing at least a small portion of your income is crucial to ensure you have money set aside for your future. Great advice, Graham!

Even if you dont go into the investing thing, this video has really valuable tips. You are a saint :)

Essentially financial independence is elementary, all you need to do is keep monthly expenses very low, then make money, save money then invest that money. Once you make more than spend every month, you are now financially free. Hopefully, this simplified the whole process. Thank you, love your video by the way.

I learned some years ago that you have to acquire skills that add value. Try learning some kind of skill that will increase your earnings. Like maybe a course for x-ray technician, or sonogram technician, even plumbers do much better than $30K per year. You can do it! When I got out of the Army I took a Aviation Technician course. It was only 18 months, 1 1/2 years total. With that one skill I started making $50-60K per year. Later on I became a Mechanical Engineer and started making $70K-85K per year. These days I'm making over $100K. How? I increased my skills which in turn increased my value. Find a course that will increase your value and you will get there! BTW, some aviation courses are subsidized through public schools. Mine was too, so it didn't cost like a regular trade school. So my aviation course only cost me around $1200 for the entire 1 1/2 years. I would go to class from 4pm -9pm on weekdays. I made that money back in a few weeks working in Aviation Maintenance at the airport. Have a great day!

I still have to pay off a car but I don't really regret it because it love it, it's a GTI and it's been one of my dream cars. It shouldn't depreciate horribly so I should get a good chunk of the money back when I sell it. Hopefully by then I should have way more than what the car is worth in savings.
