Step 1: The first step to investing $100 per week…is to have an extra $100 per week to invest:
The first thing I would do is look at your day to day spending and see if there’s a way you can reduce your overhead by $14 per day. But, for those people who simply can’t cut back any further than they already are…then it’s up to you to make up the difference through a part time job, switching careers, learning a new skill, or doing anything else you can to increase your income. Thinking about investing at this point is NOT going to have as high of an ROI as increasing your income - so finding any extra work should be a priority, until you can get to the point where you have a little left over to consistently save and invest.

Step 2: Make sure you FIRST build up a 3-6 month E-fund.
This is just a “Savings Account” with money that you keep, in cash, to cover 3-6 months worth of your expenses in the event something happens, you lose your job, the money printer stops going BRRRR, and they still can’t agree on a Stimulus Deal…at least you’d have 3-6 months worth of cash on hand to cover your overhead until you get yourself back on your feet.

Step 3: Use $100 per week towards maxing out your Roth IRA.
This is a tax advantaged retirement account that lets you contribute post tax money…meaning taxes have already been taking out of what you earned…and by the time you’re 59.5, all the PROFIT in that account can be accessed completely tax free.

Step 4: Another Alternative to a Roth IRA is the potential of investing in what’s called a 401k…and, depending on your employer, this one could be EVEN BETTER than the Roth IRA.
This is an account that you invest PRE-TAX money into, and then you’re taxed when you begin withdrawing the money after the age of 59.5. From my perspective, the 401k really only makes sense in a few scenarios:

-The first is when your employer offers what’s called a 401K match…this is when they will match your contribution, dollar-for-dollar, up to a certain amount.

-Secondly, a 401k makes sense if you’re in a REALLY HIGH tax bracket now…and expect to retire on much less, in a LOWER tax bracket ,

Step 5: Use this extra money to pay down any high interest rate debt you have.
Paying down debt is like getting a guaranteed return on your money at whatever interest rate you’re paying - because, otherwise, if you didn’t pay it down - it’s COSTING you whatever the interest rate is.

Step 6: Spend $100 per week investing back in yourself.
Here’s the thing - when you look at the initial ROI of investing $100 per week, in the very beginning, it’s not much. Even if you get an INCREDIBLE 20% return within a year, we’re talking about MAYBE $1000 in profit…well, that could very well PALE in comparison towards what YOU could do for yourself.

Step 7: Invest $100 Per Week in a taxable brokerage account.
By doing this, you’d have access to ALL of your money, anytime you need it, without paying an penalties for cashing out before the age of 59.5…HOWEVER, all profits will be taxed, which is why I recommend you familiarize yourself with the benefits of long term capital gains taxes, and understand which bracket you fall under so you can best understand how much you will owe if you sell.

Step 8: Use this money towards your own business that has the potential to generate even more money.
Similar to investing in yourself, THIS is an area where $100 per week could have an INSANELY high ROI.

I miss these older style of videos. I like the variety lately, but classic Graham is always refreshing!

[nikitaweaver]

I really appreciate that you don't take the "everyone can reduce their spending" approach and talk about the hard fact of "you may have to work more hours."

This video would provide more practical benefits for a high school student than all of their math and finance classes combined. It is so complete and well laid out and true.

Graham: Invest $100 a week at 8% for 40 years and have 1.5mil

[patriotcapitalinvestor]

I have used Graham's advice and have been able to save and invest over $21, 000 in one and half years! Listen young and old people!

A year from now you’ll either be happy that you started or wishing you had started

Did anybody else realize the desk tag changed from “do epic sh*t” to “i dont work here”?

[andrestorres]

Gram I put $120 a week to my vanguard started last year thanks to you and also have invested on voo

Even us Iced Coffee veterans can use a refresher course every once in a while!

Living proof of step 6...
Was a substitute teacher making 15k-20k/year... got some computer certifications (A+, Sec+, ...etc) and climbed from Help desk to working in Cyber Security now I've literally quadrupled my salary 5 years later! Those couple hundred dollar tests (And the time to train for them) & The extra computer hardware to play around with and have fun working on them made a significant impact on my well being way more than any investment would have!

Not a tip in this video was Graham's idea. Not a single one. They are other people's ideas. But I love how he presents it like it's his own knowledge.

Graham has a 6 lifetimes emergency fund 😂 it's the reincarnation plan

[andresfx]

Hi Graham. I remember when your channel had less than 100k. Your content is so valuable and good. Thank you.

[jordanw]

who else is going to stop the procrastinating and start investing!

[pyrotechnicsbrotherhood]

Hey Graham, I’m 19 right now and currently buying my first house. You helped me so much to get to where I am so fast. My closing is the 4th of December, I honestly can’t thank you enough for your content!

I did basically everything he said regarding the IRA/401k starting at your age (and started at $50/week for the first several years), I was a millionaire by my late 40's. It works.

My big fear now with so much gov debt and interest rates near 0%, we very well could be going into a decade, or possibly even decades of depression like we did during the 1930's where everything was basically flat for close to 50 or 60 years when adjusted for inflation. Not to mention the dollar being the world currency very well could be coming to an end very soon with a new digital currency the unified or central banks are going create. Lots of dark clouds on the horizon... I'm not so sure what has worked over the last 40 years will work so well for the next 40 years!

Time is an investor's best friend!

Thank you Graham!! As a young recent college grad that is just starting to work in Consulting, your videos have helped me immensely with managing my finances now that I have a steady source of income. Your breakdown of Roth IRA vs 401k is better than any other video/course that I've seen so far.
