    What percentage of your net income do you currently save and invest each month? Please tell us below 😀
  • @kieranpatel2188
    I just started saving at nearly 30. Also following Dave Ramsey’s baby steps.
  • @outdoorsman1140
    I heard a quote years ago which really struck a cord with me… “I will do today what others will not so I can live tomorrow as others can not!”
  • @stuey8214
    Great content as always Ken, there's something about seeing the figures on the whiteboard that makes it so motivating to invest and continue to work hard.
  • @Sultanrx
    very nice and informative content, it is appreciated!
  • @robburton5449
    Ken, your ability to inspire and create motivation is unbelievable. Keep up the incredible work! And my future self thanks you! Had very little savings at the beginning of this year before I stumbled across your videos; in a much better place now and Improving every month. Thanks again!
  • @shayseats726
    Thank you so much for this video. You are an amazing teacher! I've seen withdrawal rates and FI flying about and I never actually understood the calculations to work out the FI number. My mind has been blown! Thank you for this video.
  • @MissDoktor
    I am so happy I found your channel. I am almost 35 and you have just done the math for me 👌🏻 I am literally bing watching all your videos. Thanks so much for all your work.
  • @BENGRAHAM11
    Great video. Everyone that would like to retire early should watch this.
  • @jackiea7965
    Great Video Ken , I have previously made that mistake of lifestyle creep and also not being intentional and asking myself what actually the purpose of money is to me. Seeing it on that board really helps.
  • I love your videos because you’re so enthusiastic and it really comes across! Makes it so much more interesting when you’re passionate about what you’re saying. I can tell you really want to help people! I’m saving quite about 40-50% but I struggle to know where to put it. I’m trying to invest for my retirement so want to put away ASAP to let it grow on it’s own over time, but also trying to save for a first time house deposit! Trying to be patient 🙈
  • Hahah Really liked the video. This shows the hard work behind each videos = consistency !!! Well done Ken We love it. and Thank you
