@mckenzie.mack: Are you investing too much? Is that even possible? There are huge diminishing returns the more you invest. Above 40% might not get you as far as you think. If you were Ashley, what would you choose?

This 200k example is unrealistic. 200k at 22% effective tax rate is 156,000 after tax. In your example of saving 40-50% of gross income that is $80-$100k which assuming post tax leaves $56,000. No one making $200k is living on $56k u less they live in a cardboard box.

Could you do this with a lower income example? is the math still similar with the 40% stuff?

This is super informative, I find myself in this conundrum right now - I’ve hit coast fire and noticing that keeping up with aggressive contributions really doesn’t return as much as I thought at this point. Really illustrates how time is truly the thing that makes compounding powerful once you reach a certain point. But I’m kind of addicted to investing😅

hi! i don’t think you’ll see this but i have been following ur videos for awhile on youtube shorts. i’m 19 and i just got my first credit card quite literally an hour or two ago. it’s the capital one quicksilver one. i’m a little bit nervous about it though, i have no credit and i really only got this so i could build my credit. is this a good card? also, i have heard that you shouldn’t max it out, which i do not plan to do, but you should spend a certain percentage of your limit so that you can get credit. how much should i spend then out of the $500? also, i was wondering what cashback really means. is it kind of just free money? i dont want to mess up anything so im really nervous.

For me, it is Financial Independence, Relax Early! I just want to be in a spot where I work for the health insurance & extra cash for hobbies (travel, hike, eat out).

Yeah sometimes it makes me sad that I just have to wait it out bc there’s no way I can invest as much as my compound interest will grow.

Do you have any videos on pensions? I have one but not sure how to factor that in to my investing plan if I’d like to do FIRE.

Keeping in mind this example is someone that looks fairly well situated, I’d take the $20k and spend it on the family, that’s vacations, experiences, etc it’s a lot! And for less than a 1.5 year increase in working? Totally worth it but to each their own!

For me personally, it's 15 months every time. I made $122K last year, but live exactly how I want to on about $2K-3K/month. Everything else is saved/invested.
