@@LordFluffingtonsaccording to my calculations (🤓), 500k growing a few thousand a week (assuming that is 3500), would mean close to 40% a year. Don’t think you will get that from dividends. The few thousand a month is more reasonable and would (I think) be a bit under 9% a year (still assuming 3.5k a month). I know it’s being withdrawn and not left in to grow, but the market wouldn’t care right? also disclaimer my calculations are a bit rough. A rate of 9% a year is a bit much to expect of dividend stocks, they wouldn’t be very stable to achieve that. edit: acknowledging that you said might, and weren’t overconfidently asserting your numbers and strategy.

Hey man, i haven`t watched for about half a year now and the editing and entertainment of the videos is so much better now. good stuff.

I let an insurance salesman talk us into a whole/term policy. Had it for about 20 years. The term served its purpose and we got rid of it when we no longer needed to hedge against possible death (financially speaking). But in the end the whole policy was essentially just a forced-savings plan at the rate of inflation. We just roughly got our money back from the whole premiums. We could have invested those premiums in the market and made a *LOT* more money. Whole might be good if you really just want to move cash from one place to another and not have a huge tax bill for your heirs. That assumes you have cash in excess of what you spend and save and invest (most people don't). For the typical saver, my advice is just get term when you're young and drop it when you no longer need it. Skip the whole insurance and invest elsewhere.

With the college thing… I don’t know how it is in the US and Canada but in a lot of German speaking countries there’s something we call HTL (höhere technische Lehranstalt, basically a vocational school) that people can attend for specialized education in a specific career. It’s an alternate education path that starts from 9th grade. I know a few people that have taken that path and while they aren’t as academic or as broad in their knowledge, they tend to be insanely knowledgeable in their specific field. They also enter the workforce much earlier and earn pretty well. Really wouldn’t recommend it for everyone though, because 15-16 is really young to decide on a career.

you are one responsible person.

Warren Buffet: age: very old; stock knowledge: 10/10. Charlie Munger(rip): age; also old; stock knowledge 10/10 Santa Claus: age: infinite? this would mean infite upside when taking financial advice from Santa
