If you have no savings at 30, the good news is, you’re actually not as far behind financially as you might think. At the age of 30, most expert recommendations online suggest having one times your annual income saved, which for the average earner is about $50,000. But that is just what is recommended, not what 30 year olds actually have. The actual median net worth of a 30 year old is much less, sitting around $14,000.
If you are in your 30s and have a net worth of $0, don’t worry, it is far from being too late to catch up. You are relatively young, and you still have the majority of your working years ahead of you still. So even if right now you have a few thousand dollars less than the average person your age, you have plenty of time to catch up.
To catch up you need to earn how to budget. Next you need to reduce your expense, so that you can start saving money fast. You also need to learn how to make more money, to further increase your savings. The last step is learning how to invest. I talk about index funds for beginners and how to invest in a Roth IRA. Follow these 4 steps to retire early and achieve financial independence.

I started at 38yrs old from $1K in chequing and no savings and now have $50K in savings and $54K in investments and bought a condo at age of 41. 1) I worked hard and got several increases 2) COVID presented a major savings opportunity 3) now this might be controversial but I saved as much as I could. I was aggressive about it. I know people find the idea of giving up their daily Starbucks but it really makes a difference. Make coffee at home.
I am technically broke at 30, but not because i didn't use to earn a lot of money. I moved to another country because I got married. My employer hid the fact they are not okay with me moving there and fired me. I can't find a job here because the country's laws are very unfriendly toward foreigners (non-citizens, no local passport), and I can't find a job in my own country because the laws there don't really allow remote work (companies can make it work, but nobody wants to).
Good tips. Budgeting is definitely the first step. I went from paycheck to paycheck to saving and investing in a year. And now I have a budget I just increase my savings every time I get a raise. And with current inflation it doesn't hurt me as bad. Since more money comes in than I spend.

Fuck if you start saving even 10% and stick it into your 401Kwhen you start working at 17 or w/e, you'll be ahead of 95%+ of people your age by 30. wish someone told me this.Sounds like a long time but time flies FAST
Karson, your insight and practical lamens terms approach to investing has been so helpful to me.

When you say “savings”, does this mean investments, cash savings, or both? Im about halfway to my 6-month E-fund goal so my cash is lower than that average savings amount, but I have quite a bit in my IRA and 401k

I would save 50% and invest 50% after I save six months of expenses. If investing in the stock market I would buy mutual funds. Hope this helps. Do this ONLY IF YOU HAVE INCOME COMING IN. If no job/income then put in high yield savings solely.
Are you at all worried about an upcoming economic recession tanking investments ?

well said miss!
Most people on these channels are too young to provide seasoned guidance; however, I particularly liked the investment of $200 per day into the ETF. That’s a pretty good tactic; however, the costs of buying every day will eat into the investment gains. Transaction costs eliminate gains, especially at $200 per day; however, over time the costs can recover, but the investment must earn quite a bit to overcome time & the initial investment. It’s interesting to watch, especially when KZread becomes an influencers main source of income. Good luck!

That might be true of classic brokerage firms, but my experience with Robinhood (and their whole gimmick) is no fee investing. I invested last week and have successfully only lost the market fluctuation percentages. So far as I can tell.
wow with only 27000 subscribers and this video only having 646 views you are making nearly $2000 per month is impressive... even more impressive is your content with deep analysis... keep up the good work

Maybe you can think about job that you could do past 65 that would still give you a good quality of life. My mom tutors kids remotely and make a great hourly age. Maybe you can develop a skill that would allow you to work part time as you get older. Also consider other types of security besides money. Maybe you could garden to decrease your food budget. Best of luck.
