Bullish or bearish, AI stocks will still dominate 2024, even beyond. Why I prefer NVIDIA is that they are better placed to maintain long-term growth potential, and provide a platform for other AI companies. I know someone who has made more than 200% from NVIDIA. I'll also take these other recommendations you made.

The people you’re claiming don’t benefit wouldn’t have benefited with or without the private equity buyout. The business was failing before private equity came in, they just more efficiently manage the end of the companies life. Most likely allowing most companies to work there longer than they would have been able to do before.

It was a huge moment for me too! I told friends and eventually told everyone. At first, it felt embarrassing to admit that our four collective degrees (me/my husband, both a BA and MA) had us in over $100k of debt, even with lots of scholarships and working through college. I later realized our friends and family got really excited with us and were so proud that we had put our minds to it for so long (2008-2020) while raising little kids. I loved hearing this woman talk about that moment for her to. This is such an inspiring interview!

To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal. Remember, diversification is an approach to help manage investment risk. It does not eliminate the risk of loss if security prices decline.Because investing can be complicated, consider working with a financial professional to help guide you on your wealth-building journey.

Hi Stefanos. The grocery budget is done by buying most food in bulk. We have Costco and a store called Winco here in Seattle. You can buy oatmeal, rice, quinoa, beans, pasta, etc. for less than $.90/lb. Fresh vegetables are relatively cheap, too. Make your own sauces by starting with the fresh ingredients. Try only buying fresh vegetables, grains and meat in bulk. I'm vegan, but you can still do it if you eat meat. Just buy a whole chicken - cook it and eat the meat. Then use the bones to make chicken stock and soup. Figure out what works for you and your diet. See what your grocery budget is after a month of only buying fresh foods and starting in the bulk section. I definitely eat 3 meals a day (plus snacks). :-)

Big truth is just that the awareness for passive incomes isn't viral. So many folks still lack knowledge therefore fully relying on the 9 - 5 for wealth accumulation

If I have so much money I would certainly drive something better. Heck, I am not a millionaire and I still drive something newer (and get clothes from Goodwill). Too many crazy people on the road and you have only one life. That means more to me than just money

I restarted rebuilding from almost zero in my early 30s. Life’s low let you reevaluate what is important. I Had two life defining events in past 25 years and both inspire me look for an alternative plan and I also came across FIRE ~15 years ago. I believe I definitely achieve the FI many years ago but RE is totally my choice since I have a job I still enjoy. She is very young and she will definitely achieve it even with additional set backs because she has a plan, focus and intelligence. Her spending is surprisingly low and her saving is extremely high!

Amazing what priorities, goals and plans to reach them can do! Congratulations! These things should be taught in schools and at home at an early age.

I retired 20 years ago at 45. I was a software engineer but I did not have a pile of cash. At times I had less than $15k. What I've done is live frugally. I like gardening, writing software and remodeling homes. I buy a dump house in good areas. Live in the house and slowly improve the landscaping (a hobby) and slowly remodel the house doing all the work myself. Instead of going to a gym I swing a hammer. I sell the house about every 5 years. The first $250k of profit is tax free. I've had income over these 20 years under the tax filing limit so I don't need to file tax forms. Then I buy another dump. During the 2008 crash I did get caught with 2 houses and had to rent for several years. Here's the thing about rentals...are you actually retired or have you just switched jobs to being a landlord? It's the same with investing in stocks. I suck at stock investing and I don't like it. I don't want my new career to be landlord or stock investor. I'm getting my Phoenix home ready to sell in the spring of 2022. I should net just under $500k. Then I'm moving to the Philippines where I'll probably do the same thing because it's fun. Only there I'll buy land and build because I have the skills and labor is cheap (carpenter = $10 per 8hr day). There I will build rental units for foreigners to rent as they pay more and I understand what kinds of units they like. I can hire out the management. Or maybe I lay in a hammock. I have no need to take social security until I'm 70 so my total monthly income should be $4-5k. That goes pretty far in the Philippines...but might move to Malaysia. Getting a pile of cash is only one way to retire. To me skills gave me more security. I knew I could always go back to writing software for a salary so I felt safe. I could always pick up work creating landscapes, home remodeling. A funny thing happens when you have basic needs covered, you don't have to work 40-80 hrs / week just to stay a float. You can do jobs you enjoy for less money, less pressure. It's more fun.

As she started telling her story I thought, a smooth transition. As soon as I had that thought....

Sylvia needs to have a KZread channel of her own and share her wealth of knowledge and experience about FIRE. I would be the first subscriber !!

Very impressive! The Honda Civic made me smile. That was my last car (same year) and the fact that she still has it is awesome. What a hard worker!

FANTASTIC! Such an inspiring and heart warming story. I smiled through much of it 😊

She is so beautiful. We just downsized our cars from two to one. We cooked a lot but we can't manage to $300 spending a month/person. I love when she said she focused more on the "FI" instead of the "ER". Financial independent is something we should dream of, not thinking about early retirement when we are upgrading our cars constantly.

This woman is so beautiful, living money to others purposefully… you are the epitome Sylvia ❤️

YOU ROCK!!!!! I wish Sylvia would coach Vets like me on this method. She is a real game changer and thank you for sharing her story!

Yes! More black people need to do this. Please! We don’t need to be the oppressed group anymore. Educate yourself about finances

@@TheOne-vf2yw the funny thing is everyone says eating healthy is expensive when it is the exact opposite (unless your buying ‘organic’). My grocery bills are $7 to $20 per week. Just depends on what you like to eat. If I don’t make a fruit and veggy smoothie, I make potato, broccoli and egg ‘stir fry’ for breakfast… it’s all super cheap. Have a meat of some sort every other night but nothing expensive. I buy eye of round in bulk and slice into portions, bag up and freeze. Make that with some rice and gravy and steamed veggie. I buy the good stuff when it’s on sale only, or the stuff discounted when it’s on the last sell by date, then freeze for later… just common sense really. The problem is people are brain washed by marketing techniques. To feel they have to go out and spend a ton of money. Most don’t know how to improvise, and THAT is a huge mistake.

@@TheOne-vf2yw idk how you can buy fresh for months at a time. Maybe canned stuff?? Vegan diet is ok, my ex was vegan so I know what it’s like. But she was crazy and even did a fast for 15 days straight with only water 😳 I think a single person can easily do $150 for that period of time. Ramon and veggies (with hot sauce), beans, fruits, potatoes go a loooong way, so many combinations. She’s pretty active so I imagine she like me and can drink a smoothie in the morning, coffee til 4pm or so, a few beers (for me 🤪) then dinner around 7pm. Good to go. Maybe a mini Baby Ruth for dessert 🤩 Paper goods? Not much of that…. only for a number 2 - use a sprayer and rag for #1 😉

Love this story!! Thank you Silvia por being such an inspiration!

Wow, inspiring, and with the exception of minor details, everything that she’s done is shown on screen. Very informative, great insight to see someone so disciplined. Nice.

Wow!! I love her humility. More power to you girl. Can’t wait to start my F.I.R.E journey too

Good on her for having the discipline and determine to go after her dream!

Love to hear these stories. This is the path.

So blessed. Ooh my the resilience. God has blessed you.

Way to go Sylvia! Love this ❤️ I am an aspiring rich auntie myself and you just gave us a blueprint. Best wishes ✨

Wonderful! Congratulations!

Monthly Budget: Groceries = $60.00. How did she do that? Even if you have no snacks and only one meal a day, that's only $2.00 for all the calories & nourishment. Is it a woman thing? Assume someone will be buying you meals? I don't get it. And her total monthly budget for transportation is $92, and $77 of that is car insurance. Again, I still don't get it. How do you operate a car for an entire month for $15? That's like filling up the gas tank four times per year. Did she work from home and grow all her own food?

Excellent storey. Investing In rental properties is definitely the key to reach FIRE sooner because you can use leverage on a stable asset. Real Estate is what got me to retire at age 28.

The tax treatment of rental properties is what makes this work. It is not without downsides to the wider community however which is why in the UK the tax treatment has been tightened up to make it fairer to the community all round.

Clever girl. Using the system to her advantage.

This woman is a gem. Humble, firm and simply blessed 👏🏾

LOVE Sylvia's journey! I'm already way past 42 (I'm 52) but I am still planning to retire slightly early, at age 58. Personally, the idea of managing and maintaining real estate properties in retirement doesn't appeal to me because it's too much work. When I retire, I wan to be DONE with work and just be able to travel and enjoy life and, based on my projections, I expect to have plenty of tax advantaged investment income (403b, Roth, HSA) to provide the lifestyle I want. Also, like Sylvia, I plan to leave a legacy to my nieces and nephews as well. I love to see this!

While I think this lady is very admirable and deserves all of her success (her starting budget was amazing), that was my thought as well - so many people buying up and renting family homes, taking them off the housing market. We have the same issue in Canada with housing prices skyrocketing, making it much more difficult for first-time buyers to get in the game. At least the interest rates are low for now, which helps I guess.
