It was a great read. He’s simply stating one message: indexing is the way to go.

It’s a rather long book for essentially one message but it was his strategy.

I am sure his net worth is way more than $1.5m knowing the reach of his book alone.

I’ve read most of the books above, they all have some good nuggets of advice and insights and are a good foundational resources. In the least they should all inspire you to take action with your $. I’m now at a point where I’m focused on topics that are important and of interest to me and follow those specialized newsletters/thought leaders. I’ve noticed a crop of young millennial investors on social media gaining traction and sharing new stuff that is even new to me - think it’s awesome they all happen to be women also and men can also benefit: your.richbff and herfirst100k etc

He pushes people to his recommended financial advisors. That costs money and people using index funds don’t need that. He says put some in the SP 500 but the rest in growth funds that beat the market. He suggests you should expect a 12% return. He is not a passive index fund guy. As I said he is very good if you want to get out of debt but I have no use for his investment advice.

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home
