The fact that American spend 30% more money eating out then buying groceries in 2023 should be a wake up call to americans. The American spending habit is probably the worst in the entire world.

I am not a financial advisor by any means. But my trainee at work is approaching his final stages of training. You basically go from $25k at the beginning and end up at $150k at the end with $25k raises each step of the way. He’s at the $100k part. I told him he’s now living comfortably so it’s time to begin maxing out his retirement. I told him that he’s about to come into more nice raises and he won’t miss what he never knew he had so keep upping his savings contributions now. I think he listened.

I absolutely love your channel. I started out with basically nothing on a dirt road in an isolated farming community with no stores, schools or services of any kind. My parents were uneducated and underemployed. I was a first gen college student and then later one of the highest paid PhD students in Canada. I met my husband at university at the age of nineteen and we have been hustling ever since. Through saving, investing and just living simply and being naturally frugal, we are now worth well over $2 million, own a property outright, carry a 15yr mortgage on our family home, don’t have any other debt and still manage to raise three kids (two with medical disabilities) on one income. And we live well! We have a new house in a cool, dense neighborhood and we drive a new car (but just one for entire family) that we paid for in cash. We have lots saved for retirement and still contribute plenty and we have fully funded two of our kids for college so far - they’re still little so we have time! It’s all very possible when Mom allergic to shopping, Dad hates cars and neither one of us have social media. We love being financially stable! Your channel is just the best.

As an example of some of the things mentioned in the video, I’m American, but have lived in France for many years and am married to a French person. We’ve never had a car loan, have always bought our (relatively cheap) cars in cash, and don’t have any credit cards 🤗
I really appreciate the honesty in your content, Humphrey. Keep up the good work 🙏
Woah, 70% of the US’ GDP is dependent on consumption? Yikes, I was worried it was high, but still didn’t expect it to be that much of our economy. Thanks for the hard hitting facts 😅
These are great reasons. I try to better myself. I’m sure a lot of us fit into some of these reasons.
I just financed a used model y with rate of 6.5%. Then new model y has promotion rate of 0.99%. However I basically have the cash to pay it in full right away, so it didn't affect me. That's the upside for having cash savings
Great video- ❤❤
So what I’m hearing is that 401K took in $240k, and over 40 years converted it into $1.5 Million? If 40 years ago you got a mortgage on a house that cost $240k today that house would be far more expensive than $1.5M.

The concept that students coming out of school shouldn’t be poor, be having roommates, be having access to credit and be saving like crazy is so new. It was better when young people had no access to credit in the 1970’s

Filing for bankruptcy in this country (US) and culture is much easier and less painful than in many other places. In my country of origin, not only does the society and culture look down upon people who bankrupt, there are also fewer social and legal nets that ease the pain, so people tend to spend their money more conservatively, though that has been gradually changing among the younger generations. But it is true that many people go broke because they try to look rich.
lol, that thumbnail was for me😂 I budget for them though. The future and the present are both important. If we constantly plan for the future, we mightn’t even realise when it becomes the present. Striking a balance is key. Thank you for another insightful video, Humphrey ❤
I always see comments about how corporations are greedy but never see anything about how the consumer is greedy. The greedy US consumer taking debt to buy things they can't afford is the root of the problem in the US. The US has been able to scrape by despite it, not because of it.
Sometimes humanity needs a voice like you to put us back in place.(For those of us who choose to listen)

I guess that the low savings rate has something to do with the current inflation, if basic necessities are much more expensive and wages are not keeping up then it has to come from somewhere. Savings are usually the first thing to fall. I am in the EU but it's basically the same here.

I like to keep a running list of things I want to buy. After a few months, I often find that I no longer desire those items and that some of them are silly in retrospect.
We have a collective mentality around "enjoy your life when you are young and healthy", which I don't disagree with. The issue is that savings vs. living doesn't always have to be mutually exclusive when done thoughtfully.

Hello! I really enjoy your videos. They are very detailed and I like how you break things down so they're easy to comprehend! I do have a question in regard to savings accounts, I'm hoping you could give me some further information. I've been hesitant about opening a savings account since I don't like the reproductions of only being able to take out money during certain time windows. Also, I have heard that due to inflation the money you accumulate is undermined by the inflation rate so you lose rather than gain. Whenever I have the chance I take my money out and save it, I'm pretty good with saving money and hardly ever touch it. I'm also only 20 so it's not like I have a lot of extra income to constantly put away so will a savings account really help me if the money I put in is not enough to outpace inflation. (I bank with Chase btw)

how about stop buying random shit then you will have money
"Keep your housing expenses at less than 30% of your income." In a nutshell, that's why we're broke.
I've lived in the states and I've gotta say, being in debt is so completely ingrained in the American psyche. Gotta get a good credit score so have to have a credit card at an early age, huge culture of getting new or new-ish cars on finance then eternally trading up. We've got big problems in NZ with hire-purchase debt but nowhere near the same culture of being in debt outside of having a mortgage.
Rent at 30%???? lolol as if. Lifestyle inflation is real. Financial Education in school is also lacking. You can't start early if you have no idea how.

Humphrey, your argument on Consumption rate in the US is higher and Saving rate is lower compared to global is partially true, but not entirely correct. I recommend you follow professor Michael Pettis on the topic of Consumption vs Saving rate in the US compared to global. It will elevate your content and perspective in this very much Microeconomic topic. Here is a summary view from him: American Consumption has to increase because the world is pulling in their Surplus (excess supply capacity/ extremely cheap goods) into American consumer market. At the same time, capital flow piling into to the US stock/ bond/ real estate market drive down the US Saving rate.

$7000.00 per year invested at 7% per year = $100,000.00 in 7.5 years! Your FIRST $100,000.00 matters; after that it to SNOWBALLS fairly quickly to your FIRST million!
The key for me was to have the money automatically removed from my check and go to investments. After a while you just adjust to the smaller paychecks.
I’ve started a personal brokerage that I’ve bought a handful of ETFs that I’ve decided to let reinvest until the returns replace my job and even then I’ll still work.
Housing less than 30% flat out is not possible.
"Americans want instant gratification" is so true. I think that the federal, state, and local governments will be forced to set aside more subsidize housing to house the growing tidal wave of Americans that have little to no savings for retirement. I predict that this will cause a "silver" homeless crisis in the future.
I wait for a new video from you bro
This is the very easy and basic answer for why Americans are broke. The real problem is the low incomes. Companies do not pay enough. Also, look at cost of housing. I’ve saved and saved, yet still cannot afford these home prices. Can’t save your Starbucks coffee money out of this crap economy.

No, no, no, you missed the issue. We were ALL taught the compound interest example at 10%. We haven’t seen a 10% interest rate in years. The market goes up and down…the downs terrify so most people presume losses if they actually save. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it’s only partially based in reality…. Can we just admit that the Gucci brown on tan with red and green stripes is both well made and UGLY. We LIVE for the present not LIFE for the present.
Understanding the power of compound interest and planning for the future can be game-changers in achieving financial stability. 💰 Let's empower each other with financial education and smart decision-making to break free from the paycheck-to-paycheck cycle!

Start Investing, and good investing Starts with a good solid financial foundation. Make sure you have at least an emergency fund of 2-3months of living expenses.

It is highly important to create a solid financial foundation before investing. A 2-3 month cushion in an emergency fund for unexpected expenses is a buffer. Once that is done, looking into various tax protected accounts such as IRAs and 401Ks maybe a good place to investigate. Working with a respected financial advisor gets you personalized investment solutions, long-term success.

How can one find a verifiable financial planner? I would not mind looking up the professional that helped you. I will be retiring in two years and I might need some management on my much larger portfolio. Don't want to take any chances.

Angela Lynn Schilling is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

She appears to be well-educated and well-read. I ran an online search on her name and came across her website; thank you for sharing.

Humphrey, I have $7000+ worth on bicycles and gear for me and my family, granted these are high end road bike and mountain bike specific gear. It is a hobby, but it also keeps me in shape
You do realise that if americans dont spend, then the economy will be like china right? Basically american companies s&p perform so well is because americans spend. Domestic consumption is impt part of economy. So for u to get that 8% return, americans need to spend. Secondly inflation ia 4%, meaning the true return is 8%-4%=4% While quick fix financial advice is motivational, the fact is everybody gotta work and spend
Reason 3 is Parkinson's law

I wanted to hate on this video because I assumed it was just another shame piece a la the Ramsey universe. But nope, lots of reality here.
