Mindset is important, but a dose of reality is also maybe equally important. Like when my brother was ending college, he had a goal of reaching x amount (a very lofty goal, like your subject on this video) of NW by age 30. With a rising stock market and discovering alternative ways of accelerating his market gains. Things were looking really positive. Things really took off when he got a high paying job right out of college. Then the Dot Com crash hit, and let's just say he got derailed, like the train overturning type.

Because of my age I’m willing to take a lot more risk. Now I’m shifting my strategy to investing more into ETF’s, high yield dividend Aristocrats and kings, as well as trustworthy growth stocks such as Apple.

Being able to invest $6000 per month is a very aggressive goal, not just for a 23-year-old, but also for an adult who makes good money in the US. In order to save $6000 per month, it would require a salary of over 100K a year! But then you need to account for the essential expenses like rent or mortgage, groceries, car payments etc so you will probably be left with about half of that or $3000. This doesn't mean that this goals is impossible, it just means it will take 20+ years to get there.

For European nationals, investing in the US stock market can seem useless particularly when you would like to invest in dividend and/or as a long term retirement plan: e.g. Issues with having access to your investment, taxes, and earnings as a non-American. Do you have any recommendations of where to start?

I'm glad some young people are planning early. I wish I had done better, but at 50 at least I'm ahead of the curve. Even if very early retirement isn't achieved, it will at least set you up for more financial freedom. You'll be way ahead of the curve.

Keeping a positive mindset just can’t be emphasized enough! Especially now. Thank you for always keeping that focus.

This is amazing about this young lady. My husband and I are so looking forward to retiring next June, 2024 in Portugal. We are looking forward to a peaceful, gratitude and simple life there.

I purchased one of your packages at the beginning of this year (I believe it was a brand new one that built on itself each month for the course of 12 months). I started it but didn’t fully use it as I was focusing on paying off my credit card debt that was at $18,000 in January and is now at $1,900. When I started paying it off it was at $37,000 so at the end of this year I will be completely paid off! It took me three years and downsizing my rental expenses to having a roommate. It was so hard to think about investing with that monkey on my back. I’m excited to use it now. Even tho I won’t get the full benefits of what I purchased just having the guided template is helpful! Thank you for all you do!

I would love to be financially independent, but to be retired early is another story. I need to interact with people going through similar challenges as I am. I need to work, even if part-time. The best thing about the FIRE movement is that it views retirement as an option, not necessarily the end goal. Perhaps we should just call it the financial independence movement.

Question for anyone that can help - My spouse had mid 250k in 401k last year down to about 220k now. This entire year she maxed 401k all in S&P 500. She will be ending her employment to be a stay at home mother starting the beginning of next year. The plan is to roll everything into an IRA and continue with S&P 500. Is it reasonable to think that in 17 years with average returns of 9-10 percent this amount could grow to one million? Contributions will stop so dependent on reinvested dividends and market growth. Financial advisor told me this was unrealistic, but I’m thinking that this is what the S&P averages over time.

There is a huge difference between average rate of return and actual rate of return. Don’t get me wrong. You can make a lot of money in stock market.

I’m a nurse . The question is how to learn skills , ideas for a side hustle . Tyvm

Hi guys, this is a great great episode! I have a follow up question: how would the numbers be different if the timeline was a bit shorter or a bit longer? Given the magic of compound interest, my guesstimate is that even a couple of years would shave off the monthly number exponentially. So in a sense, sometimes I think getting there a bit more slowly can pay off.

I am sorry but I have to remain skeptical after watching this video. The 23 year old caller said she wants to have 1 million pounds after 10 years. It means that in a period of 120 months, she has to save over 8300 pounds each month. I just assume she just graduated from college, what type of jobs she can do to save that huge amount every month?. I am not sure she can even make that amount every month. She really needs to be realistic and evaluates her FiRE number again.

Great people. It’s crazy how they immediately garner trust
