Welcome to Your Finance Guide

Here's the only finance video about lattes that you will ever need. I'm Tyler, I'm a former financial advisor and portfolio manager. Now I make financial content for free so that you don't have to pay for it.

The Daily Latte Dilemma

  1. Number one, you could spend $7 of your paycheck each day for the rest of your life to buy one grande latte.
  2. Number two, or you could do what a lot of personal finance gurus tell you to do, save that seven bucks. And if you listen to them and put it in a traditional savings account, next year when you're looking to buy that latte, you're gonna be disappointed because thanks to a 3% annual inflation, well, now you can only afford the tall latte.
  3. Number three, or you could invest that $7 a day in a low-cost index fund for the next 10 years, have it appreciate to around $40,000 and then use the annual 7% interest to buy yourself a whatever size latte you want each and every day for the rest of your life for free.

The Takeaway

And that is what the wealthy actually mean when they tell you to have your assets buy you stuff.

If any of this is helpful, like and follow and I'll keep trying to get you one step closer to where you need to be.
