if my investments go well for the next 20 years ill be a millionaire and ill semi retire.

[ButterySkater]

i dont think being a millionaire in 30 years is going to be a big accomplishment anymore. there are already over 11 million millionaires.

I invested ... lost money in the Tech Bubble bust, lost money in the dot.com bust, lost money in the subprime bust, etc. So screw it. I bought a boatload of Combloc ammo and firearms when the Soviet union collapsed and resold it on the Milsurp collectors market and recovered. Now only invest in real estate.

She sounds like a slightly imperfect, but nonetheless very well honed AI voice generator. "Heloooo, well yeeees, you want to save up to the company match alwaaaays."

My father Steve will retire in about 7 to 10 years and earn a fortune...likely a million dollars.

Possibly the worst interview I’ve ever seen

Any body with a healthy brain can do it, it's not required a rocket scientist to figure it out!

[Hurtzilla]

Garbage advice. You need to triple up to your company match to make a million

[charleshoang]

I think any normal human being can save million dollars after bursting their ass to work for 30 years!

I saved 1.2 million for my retirement back in 2007, I lost 970K in stocks in 2008-2009. So yea listen to these guys in put all your money in investments.
