- Erik816 9y agoYou have a very skewed perception of "poor." Following this will net you a very substantial retirement account, especially if you are married and your spouse does the same.
- tejohnso 9y agoDoesn't seem like a guide for poor people at all to me. A poor person is not going to be able to get past step one, let alone step two which requires a decent job and thousands of dollars of discretionary income to save each year.
- oligopoly 9y agoIndeed, you also want to enjoy your life when you a virile. What's the point of working until your retirement when you are at a point you hardly can take advantage of it. Start a business. You probably won't hit the unicorn lottery but making enough to retire in your early X shouldn't be out of reach. Find a solution to a problem and learn some sales and marketing.
- loeg 9y agoI'm at something like 1st percentile age-group wealth on 4th or 5th percentile age-group income following this simple strategy. On track to retire before 40. It works.
- loco5niner 9y agoReally, how much wealth do you need? I don't need a yacht or a mansion. I also don't feel the need to take on a lot of risk in the hopes of a yacht and mansion.
