How I Earn $6,500/Month In Passive Income | Fired Up

Amberly Grant, 34, vowed to be a millionaire after reading her first finance book at age 15. Then, in college, she discovered the FIRE movement, which stands for financial independence, retire early, and began working toward her dream of retiring early. Living in Denver, she was hired as a full-time project manager, started investing in real estate and launched a financial education side hustle. Today, Grant has accumulated a net worth of $835,000, and recently welcomed her first child.

How I Earn $6,500/Month In Passive Income | Fired Up

[ChristopherAbelman]

The truth is that everybody wants to be financially independent and live a better life. With savvy investing, an inexpensive lifestyle, and diligent budgeting, this is not difficult to do. I'm glad I realized early on that achieving financial freedom requires hard work.

[DavidRamseyIII]

As an accountant I find a lot of clients are completely delusional about their financial position. Either stupidity or wilful ignorance. The video is so poorly thought out and missing critical information so I can’t say for sure, but it sounds like she has a boat load of property loans and is eating the net rent. Not retired, not anywhere near retired. Whoever produces these videos is really half arsing their job

I've just completed the sale of a property located in Portland and I'm considering reallocating the resulting funds into the stock market. Despite prevailing sentiments regarding its readiness, I'm unsure about the timing of stock purchases. How long until we witness a full market recovery? Furthermore, I'm puzzled by the methods allowing others in the same market to achieve gains surpassing $200k within months.

Literally nothing in this video makes sense. None of the sums add up, she is contradicting herself with every sentence. How can she even own 3 properties worth $1.7m with a salary of $150K CAD / $110k USD while supporting her partner and baby? How does she have 835k but the chart is 220k? How can she have 835k net worth if she has only just started making decent salary, and after travelling for years? None of this video makes sense

[RobertBrown..]

As an investment enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have a significant amount of capital that is required to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

[AddilynTuffin]

I am working on a ballpark estimate of $5M for retirement, and I have a good 6-figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity for a boomer like me? I'm nearly $1M after subsequent investments so far

[FrankBrook-jsyh]

Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

props to the foreign husband who doesn't talk, has no money, no visa and doesn't pick up the restaurant tab, just takes care of baby, and stays at home. He hit the jackpot

Title correction: “How I built $238k in net worth and hope to retire by 34 | Overleveraged-Up”

My wife and I have re-budgeted and will be putting $30, 000 a month into our portfolio starting in 2024. We live off of my income and invest all of hers. Having a partner who shares your goals is powerful.

[PotBellyPete]

I was advised to diversify my portfolio among several assets such as stocks and bonds since this can protect my portfolio for retirement. I'm seeking to invest $200K across markets but don't know where to start.

[neilpatrick-xjyr]

I’ve had majority of my holdings in tech stocks and I've had 25% increase in my portfolio, especially with Apple’s P/E (price to earnings ratio) but with much uncertainty now, my question is what stocks can be the next APPL in terms of growth for the next decade?

[TylerofSc]

Many thanks for the video. Everybody needs financial freedom. Let this be a thread for some more simple, Reproductible approach from anyone who have build wealth. I have saved up $190k to get started.

[Raymondjohn]

The thing to me is, if you invest and have other income outside of dividends then you will be able to live off dividends without selling. Which means you can pass that on to your kids which will give them a leg up in life. $52k dividends received in 2022.

[SamuelIlari]

Hi! I’m excited to be here in your channel and I’m interested in learning more about investing and saving up for my retirement but am a little confused about the whole process. Any advice or tips to get me started up would be greatly appreciated.

[veramonique]

There are a lot of strategies to make a tongue-wetting profit that the average Joe don't know. Personally, the financial market for me seems the only way forward with my long time horizon (accrued roughly $457k in gains since Mid 2021 ) but if you don’t have that fortune of time it’s a tough market out there almost nowhere feels safe!

[joesphcu]

Investing in alternative income streams that are independent of the government should be the top priority for everyone right now. especially given the global economic crisis we are currently experiencing. Stocks, gold, silver, and virtual currencies are still attractive investments at the moment.

[Chrissieb.rackett]

The name of the video makes no sense!! She’s not retired!! This series has been doing this a lot lately. “This 30 year old retired early on 800, 000” Cut to the video and said 30 year old is managing 25 rental properties and has a YouTube series and a podcast. That’s not retired!! (But this lady is even more not actually retired!!)

[Doracox]

Everyone’s been preaching investing lately as a source of passive income but with a 70 hour weekly jobs and limited knowledge of financial instruments, how can I actually stay on top of things, I see every YouTube video saying BUY BUY! But when and how do I sell for profit at the right time?

[rickyguitierrez]

I'd love to learn how to trade after listening to a guy on radio talk about the importance of investing and how he made over $460k from initial capital of $160k, somehow this video has helped shed light on some things but I'm confused about the current market volatility, I could really use some advise I'm a newbie and I'm open to ideas.
