Original caption

Your paycheck won’t make you rich. What you do after you get paid will. The goal isn’t to earn more forever. The goal is to build a portfolio that pays you back. Earn more. Build an audience. Invest the difference. That’s how ordinary paychecks become a $5M portfolio. If you have money saved and want to work directly with me, DM me “PASSIVE” right now! First 20 people will be accepted!!

Transcript

Here's exactly how much money you would need to invest in order for you to retire with $5 million. Let's say you started investing at 60 years old, which means you don't have that much time for you to retire. You would have to invest almost $60,000 every single month in order for you to retire with $5 million. Let's say you started at 50, that number drops significantly. You would have to invest $10,000 every single month. Here's where it really changes. If you started investing at 40, you would only have to invest around $2,500 every single month. Let's say you started at 30, like I did, you would only have to invest around $700 every single month to retire with $5 million. Let's say you start when I told you to start in your 20s. You would only have to invest $233 every single month in order to retire with $5 million. And at 18, you would only have to invest $180 every single month for you to retire with $5 million. I want that to sit with you. Some of my parents are 60 years old or older and they're still working. You would have $5 million. I hope that this video helps.
