What question can I help answer next week?!🎉💰

[jasonwright]

Thanks for answering my question!! I have another one if you have time: Is the S&P 500 still the best ETF? I know you talk about a lot of different ones, but which one is the absolute best?

What’s your best advice to someone who has a good income? In my case I’m able to cover all my expenses (mortgage, insurance, bills/leisure) and still invest between $2, 500-$3, 000 a month.

My problem at times is feeling like despite how much I’m able to invest, I feel like it’s never enough and no matter how much I gain or lose (I’m holding long) it’s not happening fast enough.

I’ll continue to invest I just feel impatient at times and find myself getting irritated some days for no reason at all.

How much should you save for your retirement? Maybe enough to reach your goal. Everybody's goal is different and you should probably have a goal if you want to have the retirement that you want.

Simply use a retirement calculator and use a reasonable rate of return and figure out exactly what you need to save. So you can reach your specific goal

A great topic and question. Thanks for sharing your insight.

May I know which one would you all prefer? VOO or VTI?
Both have the same expense ratio of 0.03% and have like 78% of the same stocks. The difference is VTI has mid and small cap stocks while the VOO does not. So in volatile times like now, VTI might do a small bit better due to the mid and small cap companies very closely related to the state of the market and economy. The only thing that is pulling me towards VTI is that it is much cheaper per stock compared to VOO

Question for your next video. What are your thoughts on dropshipping/dropservice?

I have started it out recently, and I am starting to plan ways to advertise my products, focusing mainly on niche products that got a lot of views and likes from social media. Its a concentrated market for sure, but it seems like a good side hustle. Will let you know if this ACTUALLY works out like some advertise. A lot of these "youtubers" advertise dropshipping and dropservicing by actually selling "tutorials" on how to dropship... wow, what a genius 😂 but people probably fall for it. I would like to make it on my own, thank you.

Definitely liked the running back analogy. Kind of sounds like what the Kansas City Chiefs did to Larry Johnson back in 2006. Great insight and video!

[AhmedAzraq]

What should be the percentage distribution. of investing into VOO, QQQM, and SCHD?

[lendara]

Late to watching this series! This is great video. I am pretty good at having a budget. Sticking to it has been a bit of a challenge depending on the month. Any tips for tracking and sticking to the budget?

[chrismacias]

Hey professor, in your bus 118 class, and just wondered what your take is on investing in real estate ? Do you have videos on that?

[rashaun_elway]

Should I invest in both VOO and SCHD or just one?

[muhammadbaki]

Are dividends from any company guaranteed regardless of the volatility of the stock? (Meaning, is it a general calculation of what you'd get without thinking about the ups and downs?) Just something I've been thinking about, google is a bit foggy on that subject.

I already have the 401k employer match and still able to contribute more to retirement and already maxing out roth. is it better to max 401k or do a brokerage account instead?

[stuartmorales]

Great video, what do you think about FXIAX for long term through a Roth IRA?

[dampedkhan]

Feel targeted 😂 but so helpful.... thank you!

[elvis.rojasm]

this time I didn't understand, example $1500 weekly X 10%- = 150 every week for. the k401 and 150 brokerage ? or Roth IRA? excuse me
