"Suspiciously" like 500 bucks 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I pray to God I get 12% returns over a 40 year period I'll be sitting great.

My dad grew up dirt poor. Walking 15 miles up and down a steep ass mountain barefoot. He worked since he was about 12 years old. He finally retired, got cancer the following year, spent the next year deteriorating, and died 3 years after his retirement. Hey dreamt of traveling the country on the motorcycle he had just gotten, wanted to build a house in Puerto Rico. Instead he spent the majority of his life struggling, worked nights, weekends, and overtime. Spent 20+ years slaving at a factory dreaming of retirement, just to drop dead. Do yourself a favor and enjoy life while you can. 5 million dollars when you’re old and sick means nothing but a really nice casket and headstone.

I dont have a car payment and im still broke. Its not the car its the house and everything that goes with it.

[natej]

Yes, I can’t wait to be able to have fun when I’m too old to actually have fun.

[Kpness]

i don’t want to be rich when i’m old, i want to live how i want when im young

[akmo]

Average life expectancy in the US is 77 years old. What good is $5 million at that age?

[googleface]

Your car payment doesn't last 40 years

[planflykt]

Finding a balance between living right now and saving everything for you children. Not always so easy

[frostpst]

So true, just quit driving, quit living in a home, quit working and you’ll have all the money you need 🤯🤯🤯

500 a month for 40 years at a 10% rate of return is about 3.16 Million. Still a lot, though.

Mine is $512 because I was dumb and went to one of those by here pay here places paying 24.1% APR on a 2013 Chrysler Town & Country, which has almost 200, 000 miles on it now when I bought it it had roughly 160, 000 miles. Since I started to seriously listen to this man, I have saved my tens of thousands of dollars over the last year and when he says it’s gonna hurt he means it but when you finally get that free or close to being debt-free, it will be worth it. I promise!

A few years ago, I preordered a model Y Tesla, but then canceled it because I realized how much I didn’t need it.
Still driving my 2007 Toyota Rav 4!

[EinSofQuester]

Ok i will go through life taking the bus and maybe when i am old il will start enjoying life

[MountainEagle]

Investing in this economy is absolute insanity. Not to mention that the dollar is burning as we speak. This was good advice many many years ago. Most people don’t even live to the age of 70 now.

[oneanddonediy]

It's a shame to waste the best parts of your life living broke and then being 'rich' at age 70.

[angelac]

Dang I wish I listened to you when I was younger. 54yrs old and just now discovered you. And I have zero financial peace now. Ignorance was bliss.time to get cracking

[nathanhodgson]

I’m not making a car payment for 40 years but I like the thought process. God Bless

[cptburr]

I have great working vehicles older than me with no car payments. Life is good

[richardjones]

It’s gotten much worse. The average car payment is over $700
