Last Year: here is the full info ( three main apps) I was Using Acorns and I had invested: $24,605.85 – Which bought me something around 268 shares of etfs – This made me an average $633.56 annually which equal $52.80 Robinhood had: – $11,965.95 – Owned around 149 shares – Which made me $322 annually and $26.87 Sofi Money had: – $16,066.81 – I owned around 633 shares – and got paid around $900 annual or 75 a month ( but delta never started paying a dividend again, however, I did lock in a 100 profit from them So overall including some other apps: – had invested $55,040 – which paid around $158 a per month 2. My plan has changed so much today than what it was back then – Wanted to invest as much as possible so I could get to my goal of living off dividends and also using the 4% rule – Which when you withdraw 4% of your portfolio – So you never run out of money and you don’t carry that much risk But guess what: – I needed almost 1.2M dollars invested to get to that goal – It was so much money, and it would take years – And who knew when they would crash or if my income would stop 3. In 2021 I started investing very aggressively trying to get to that goal – But mid-year around April, I stopped because the plan had to many unknows But here is what I did do: – Invested a total of $313,546 – And that money makes me around $5,067 per year – And only around $422.31 per month Buts that’s not all: – If this grows at 10% average that’s 31k in gains each year – And I take out just 4% that’s 12,500 dollars each year Let me break this down: – These days I only use two account M1 finance and Vanguard ( I’ve learned simplicity wins ) – I also sold my single stock holding of delta for 100% profit turning my 14k investment into 28k – I stopped invested 95% of my income and now I only do 20% 4. My New Plan – I’m only investing around 31,500 which just enough to fully max out my retirement accounts – With my current 313k invested: in 7 years when I turn 30 at 10% return I’ll have around 939k invested But importantly Today: – I can’t be debt-free – Have a full-blown emergency account – And a paid-off home – Meaning that my Wife, Kids are taking care off and I can just continue doing what I love doing 5. How does this apply to you – You might not have a crazy income – But the math is still the same – Over investing can be a problem, because the market can crash – What I recommend – 1st Save $1000 for emergency and pay off your debts using the avalanche method first ( the debt that cost the most money ) – 2nd Save for 3-6 month of emergencies while you invest 1-5% max – 3rd Invest 10-20% into retirement and an additional 5% if you have kids for a 529 account ( the rest of the money use it to buy a home that cost no more than 33% of your monthly income including all expenses on a 15-year mortgage ) – then use all the extra money to pay it off fast – 4th you debt-free, paid off home, emergency account, a bunch of money investments, and still an amazing income Why: This plan makes sure your investing and building passive income but that you and your family are safe first. Building a Stock or real estate PORTFOLIO before doing this carries to many risks, because when things go wrong, your still not the owner of anything, and you have no security. * PRO TIP* INFORMATION IS EVERYTHING ????Merch???? https://teespring.com/stores/tommybryson ✅2 FREE AUDIOBOOKS✅ https://amzn.to/2Enayo8¬¬¬ ????M1 FINANCE $10????
