The survey was super easy, barely an inconvenience. Paused the video to immediately fill it out.

Always a fun shake up to see Rebie behind the desk!

I’m typically a podcast listener but came on today to You Tube and subscribed!

I’m so exited for your 500k subscribers! Congratulations! 🎉 Well deserved! 🍾🥂

When yall compile the data from the survey, when showing the net worth responses could you please have a chart that separates it by income ranges? My SO gets deflated when hearing about people’s high net worth, when hers is well above average and she has a pretty average/median salary. I think comparing to her actual peers would be valuable information.

The survey was missing one big thing I expected to see. "Do you have a pension"

This is one of the only channels I've seen where the OG main host isn't present and the people he has under his wing take over flawlessly, usually when the main host leaves on most channels they don't get as many views or the entire channel dies off I firmly believe if Brian passed it down to Bo to be the main host from now on forever the show would only continue to grow at the same rate or better in time

If the average US investment balances are all well below $100K for all ages and you know it takes 7-9 years to reach $100K, then why is the lowest number you can click on the survey "less than 100K"? I hypothesize most people are going to be in this range and it would be nice to have more granular data (i.e. 0-25, 25-50, 50-75, etc) There is a big difference between $5K savings and $95K savings.

This channel has blown up! Remember when I joined around 10k! Congrats! Look forward to visit Nashville!

The survey was fun, but I wish there were more opportunities to enter narrative responses. A lot can be gleaned from raw data, but as you often say, personal finance is personal, so it can be enlightening to elaborate on the data in a more personal way.

For example: To the question "At what age did you first take finances seriously?" I answered 16. I opened my Roth IRA as soon as I had earned income from my first Summer job. But I made mistakes. I only knew "Roth IRA = Good!" but I didn't know anything about investing, so those dollars I saved just sat in cash for years. It wasn't until much later that I learned that all investing isn't a risky gamble and properly allocated an investment mix. I was learning then, and I feel like I am continually learning now. There's not really a single point when I decided to take it seriously -- I feel like I always did -- I'm just constantly growing, learning, and evolving.

I subscribed back when you were excited about nearing 100k subscribers, thinking I’d just support you since you asked. Little did I know it would turn out to be one of the best financial decisions I’ve made. The wealth of knowledge I’ve gained, along with your weekly encouragement and reminders to keep investing, even through the messy middle, has brought me both peace and confidence. It’s reassuring to be guided by those who have already walked this path and succeeded. Huge congratulations on hitting 500k — it’s truly well deserved!

For me it would be beneficial if you guys talked about a cash management plan in practice, and with a variable income. Like which buckets and how to organise things, such as fun money, necessities and everything. Some practical examples would be great as I’m not in finance and sometimes some terms pass over my head. Great content as always and the only people I follow 💪

The problem with the average Erica is that once you have 20k saved you start thinking we can now take that Disney vacation or 40k you can now renovate that bathroom and raise your roof. It's like against people's religion to save money

[ranep]

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?

[dennisshea]

Brian has never looked better than he does today.

[TheFreeRunPorject]

I’m not American but I really enjoy watching the show since 90% of the content is still great advice for my context. Can I still fill out the survey?

[Youknowwhoiam]

6:37 survey done took 5 mins. Congrats on 500k. Y’all are great!

Hey I love what you guys do! I filled out the survey and got my free resources which included the military resources. There was one thing that no one really talks about that should be added, it’s called continuation pay! It’s an entitlement in which you can receive between your 8-12 year mark and is 2.5 times your monthly salary!
