Speaker 2: they have to do as far as their personal finance

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 2: in regards today stuff that we talk about.

35
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: Number one, I love the debt snowball, So take off

36
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 3: your your smallest debt. Aim to pick that off first.

37
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 3: Number two, pick two to four stocks that you're going

38
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 3: to invest in for the next ten to fifteen years

39
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 3: of your life. Don't deviate from it. Number three, pick

40
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: an amount that you are going to invest and don't

41
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: deviate because sometimes people will hear these numbers and like, well,

42
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 3: I don't have sixty grand to put into the market.

43
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: Start with two hundred, and then once you see the

44
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: two hundred go to four, you're going to find one

45
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,280
Speaker 3: thousand or fifteen hundred to then and put into the vehicle.

46
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 3: Number three Not to be self aggrandizing, but to watch

47
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 3: us every week, because if you do that, you're going

48
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 3: to get a higher return on investment than if you

49
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 3: watch on the shows. If I made you money, please

50
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: put yes and chat. Look y'all, get the book. You

51
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,839
Speaker 3: deserve to be rich. Number four, find one or two

52
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 3: people that you're going to have these conversations with. It's

53
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 3: like having a sparing part nerve or someone to work

54
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: out with. I don't want you to lean on them

55
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 3: for accountability. But if like we've stuck together for five

56
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 3: years and we kept telling y'all we're going to stick together, right,

57
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 3: We've grown collectively and individually as a result. A lot

58
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 3: of times I'll see people trying and do this on

59
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: their own, and because they don't have someone to lean on,

60
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 3: they don't stay in a game as long. And then

61
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 3: number five kill the lifestyle creep like I see too

62
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 3: many of us get to that first hundred thousand, first

63
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 3: two hundred thousand and you get the blonde it on

64
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 3: Mike Emery and you want to talk to me about tariffs,

65
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 3: go shout with Johnny Dang. I see a lot of

66
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 3: y'all come out here and go hit Johnny Dang and hey,

67
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 3: how give your discount because people have been coming. I'm like,

68
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 3: I know, it's fun to look like you have all

69
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 3: the money in the world. It's more fun to actually

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: have the money in your possession.

71
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 4: That's effect. That's a fact. Now, that was great. That

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 4: was great for me.

73
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 2: It would be you have to secure your retirement, so

74
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: you start to invest in your four to one k,

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: have an IRA if you're self employed, have a set

76
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: plan the things that we talked about, but you gotta

77
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 2: have money or later on down the line of forced

78
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 2: savings that you don't even think about. That is tax

79
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 2: advantage where you're saving money on taxes. And you'll also

80
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 2: be able to have a nest egg at some point

81
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 2: in time in retirement because it's going to be here

82
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 2: before you know it. So securing your retirement is a

83
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,280
Speaker 2: major thing. And then if you have kids, you had

84
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 2: to plan for them. So we talk about five to

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: twenty nine plan, which is how you can save money

86
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: for college. Or you can have an UTMA account, which

87
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: is how you can just save money for your child

88
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: in general doesn't necessarily have to be used for college,

89
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: but you want to secure or start to, you know,

90
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: have some level of security for them, So that's important.

91
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 2: You could put money away to earlier you start the

92
00:04:57,080 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 2: better compounding interest. One of the things that weren't buffet

93
00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: you across the way life insurance. You have to make

94
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: sure that you secure your life life insurance. We've had

95
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 2: a lot of conversations about that. But if somebody's just

96
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 2: starting out, that's a great thing to do for sure,

97
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 2: you know, foundational purposes.

98
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 4: As far as your financial plan.

99
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,239
Speaker 2: I would say dollar cost average into the stock market

100
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 2: every single month from a brokerage account. You can open

101
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: a brokerage account. Put one hundred, two hundred, three hundred,

102
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: five hundred whatever you can afford. Whatever you can afford.

103
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: But you know, Ian says two tech two index. You

104
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 2: put together your strategy and you might have okay, s

105
00:05:38,360 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 2: and P five hundred, I'm gonna put two hundred dollars

106
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,120
Speaker 2: into that every single month. I'm gonna put two hundred

107
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: dollars in the Microsoft every single month. Put money into

108
00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: the market in a brokerag account. Force yourself for savings

109
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 2: every single month. That's important outside of your retirement. Two

110
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: different things. Your retirement what we call qualified. What's not

111
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: retirement is non qualified. So non qualified is just regular brokerage.

112
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 2: You can use that money whenever. You don't have to

113
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 2: wait until you're fifty nine and a half. But you

114
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 2: want to do two things simultaneously. And then the last

115
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,280
Speaker 2: thing I would say is a state planning. Put together

116
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 2: a will if you at the point where trust makes sense,

117
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: make sure your beneficiaries are listed.

118
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 4: That's important. So those are five things that last.

119
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 2: One for sure if you on your pathway, if you

120
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 2: just start now, or even if you haven't just started out,

121
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 2: you want to just look to make sure you're doing

122
00:06:29,279 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: things correctly. Retirement, college savings, or just savings for your

123
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: children in general, life insurance dollar cost average into the

124
00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 2: stock market every single month. And then a state planning.

125
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: Make sure you have a will, a trust, put beneficiaries

126
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: on things. Look to see if everything is set up.

127
00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 2: If you die today, will it be a mess? That's

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 2: how you got to gage this. If I die today,

129
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: is it going to be a mess? Meaning when I

130
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 2: say Is it going to be a mess. Is it

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 2: going to be how they going know with your passwords?

132
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:02,920
Speaker 2: Or how they going to know how to get into

133
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,760
Speaker 2: your bank account? How they gonna know where you have

134
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 2: bank accounts at, how they gonna know? So what you

135
00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:12,040
Speaker 2: should do is have a handbook where it's actually detailed,

136
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:15,240
Speaker 2: and you put it with somebody that you trust, your beneficiary.

137
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 4: Your lawyer.

138
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: So that way, it's hard enough you die, somebody is

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 2: gonna have to make funeral arrangements. But just think about that,

140
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: like you're doing all this stuff, you're acquiring all this stuff.

141
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 2: You've got properties over here. If nobody knows about it, Yeah,

142
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 2: probate your password or worst case scenario, it can get forfeited,

143
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,800
Speaker 2: or it's just not even it's just held. There's billions

144
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,239
Speaker 2: of dollars that's just held in suspense right now because

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: nobody's ever claimed it, because nobody knows about it property.

146
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 4: Think about it. Crypto, same thing.

147
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,440
Speaker 2: If you got crypto, nobody the coin base is not

148
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: gonna call your family like, hey.

149
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 4: You got dollars in ethereum waiting for you. What's your catchphrase?

150
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: Twenty one word? I got to think about it.

151
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 5: An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

152
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 5: in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

153
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 5: accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

154
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 5: filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

155
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 5: some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

156
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,320
