The avg. American is having a tough time, I know I am not alone. There are others in same position as me. By certain statistics: 22% of americans have no retirement savings. 64% are worried that they will not have money in latter years while 47% of adults who are not yet retired think they have to work part-time in retirement. How can I best grow the 100k I have saved seperately outside retirement access which of course had depleted over the years

People dont understand that the prices of things are never going back down. This inflation is deeper than we think. Those buying groceries are well aware that the real inflation is much over 10%. The increments dont match our income, yet certain investors still earn over $365, 000 in stocks and assets. Wish I could accomplish that.

I often think about the Roman Empire, especially how it relates to the current state of the country. I’m an ISTJ personality type so maybe that explains it.

If you read your new testament on the regular you are thinking about the roman empire a lot.

Obviously rachel has been reading, "The richest man in babylon."

Well, when I was a young adult there was Rome Total war. Rome the TV series, there was also the old tv series I Claudius, Caesar 3, later Rome 2. Also if you enjoy history Rome would be a large amount of content.

So the Richest Man in Babylon (written in the last 120 or so years ago) is ancient Babylonian wisdom? Great book, but streatching it a bit.

I prefer $2000 starter fund then a separate 1yr. Full Emergency Fund

Many quotes used the word "thy" which isn't actually ancient. That's definitely second millennia language.

[lynnbeam]

I love the book, The Richest Man in Babylon

TLDW:
1. Save up $1000 if you're in debt as an emergency fund
2. Invest 15% towards retirement
3. Invest in a home
4. Track your spending (Budget)
5. Leave your kids some money (Rachel knows a lot about this one)
6. (BONUS!!) Be generous with your money

I feel like every video on this channel just comes back to ~The Baby Steps~, just with different wording/theme each time. It's honestly impressive how unoriginal the content is, but seeing as though Rachel is a nepo baby I suppose she can't relate to being an adult and struggling with money so she can't share her own stories since there aren't any. But middle-class midwest housewives and simps for Rachel eat this s*** up so they keep pumping it out as she relaxes in her $2.5 million home.
