@IndexAndForget Increase your savings rate by 1% every year. you wont even notice its being siphoned into an investment acct

For people with 100k plus portfolio... One advice that really helped you get there?

@FluentInFinance for the ballroom, silly

Most worrying stat of 2026: Over 70% of Americans say they're struggling to afford basics like food, housing, and healthcare, per CBS News. Why are we paying taxes if over 70% of Americans are struggling?

@WallStreetMav i think this is why we need more college prep classes in high school. go through average earning potential for various degrees. degree in accounting or finance? 1000% worth it. English? not so much

Most people are coming to the realization that many university degrees are worthless, or at least not worth 4 years of your productive life and not worth $100,000 to $200,000 in debt. Looking back at your degree, was it worth it? Or was it just a good time for a few years? Would you do it again? My degree was a complete waste of money (business school) and I ended up in a career that didn’t require it at all.

@SelfMadeMastery 150k/yr for a family, or an individual? big difference

If you can’t live comfortably off $150,000 a year, you probably have a money-management problem.

Police DO NOT REDUCE CRIME. Affordable Housing, employment, food, REDUCE CRIME.

@TheRobertBshow if the gig was so good, why dont men want to do it?

To replace everything a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom does for her family, you'd need $180,000 a year. Instead we told her to get a job. Handed her empire to strangers. And called it progress.

@DarlaShine @TheRobertBshow less women killing their abusive husbands

@TheRobertBshow Name one thing that has gotten better since the feminist movement?

Because too often, men took this as an opportunity to exert financial control and financial abuse over their spouse. So women said enough is enough, and took control for their own safety and well-being. So yes, it is progress. Having financial freedom and means to leave a toxic situation is progress.

@karomancer first day of retirement: *deletes linkedin* I dont want to spend one more day on that god forsaken site than i have to

God I hate LinkedIn. Everytime I log in I feel a bit of my soul leave my body. Does anyone actually enjoy using it? It's everyone just faking it while crying behind their screens?

@drgurner This is so true. I'm 10000x happier that I'm not stressed about having enough $$ for rent each month. And not stressing about how much a meal out with friends will cost. Or about the cost of going to the doctor.

There is a weird myth that making more money doesn't make you happier. I assure you it does. It makes your entire life easier. It takes away many concerns. It gives you options. No basic need is a concern, and with specialized needs you have choices.

@trentjhughes CA and NYC are expensive, but they are also home to much more economic activity, more opportunity, and you're surrounded by ambitious, successful people everyday. You wont find this in North Carolina. So yes, geography is the most underrated financial decision you'll make.

Unpopular opinion: most people don't have an income problem They have a zip code problem I know people making $80k in North Carolina living better than friends making $200k in California Geography is the most underrated financial decision you'll ever make

@darrelltalksfi 1. how old are you 2. are you factoring taxes 3. what % market growth are you using in your calc to get >1M?

I just hit $100k in my 401(k) and it only took 6 years. If I don’t contribute another dollar, I’ll retire a millionaire. Compounding is truly amazing.

@shaguncrypto They're not, and its all by design. Keeping people poor and uneducated so they are easy to control.

Boomers needed about 2 years of salary to buy a house Millennials needed 5-6 years Gen Z now needs 8-10 years How are people supposed to keep up?

@InvestingAddict same reasons as sports betting

Can someone explain to me why 20 year olds would rather light their hard earned money on fire picking dog shit stocks instead of just investing in the S&P 500 and building wealth?

@InvestingAddict 1. social media 2. the guise of instant gratification (i.e. chance a stock will hit it big, rather than waiting 5 yrs for S&P to go up the same amount)

War in Iraq: $2.1 trillion War in Afghanistan: $2.3 trillion Projected cost of the war in Iran: $1 trillion Somehow, there is always money for war, but never enough money for housing, education or the needs of working people. We must and will change our national priorities.

@theficouple additionally, i dont think we can rely on social security and medicare anymore. yes, it still exists, but how long until the rug gets pulled out from under us? retirees should plan to have sufficient safety net in that case #financialindependence

The average retiree spends $5,400/mo Social Security covers 37% of that. Investment portfolio of $850,000 could easily cover the rest. So if someone says you need $3 million to retire comfortably? … They’re out of touch.

@theficouple $5,400/month isnt enough to live in most major or second cities, and it is definitely not enough to pay for increased medical expenses (even with medicare). some people want to enjoy their retirement, not just make due.

@Codie_Sanchez who you choose to marry/partner with will be the biggest financial decision that you ever make. full stop.

Marrying well is the biggest life hack of all.
