Caesar starts at this hour in chicago high seas or how are you are doing good,
You know what that says as it sets out caesar either it is Julia,
god it up did I are not measured up good. How can I help you
yeah, I'm twenty three years old today did from Chicago. I have passed
a hundred thousand my baby? I have a parking with fifty thousand.
Mutual funds, their parked in
Roth, I re raw or one k and I feel like I have a lot of options. There's a lot of pressure to buy
the opinion about buying the building
and she is putting a lot of pressure on me, but a lot of options. I really dont know what to do at the moment, and I would like your advice about my situation. Do you have any debt?
Euro debt zero debt weight ago. Are you married.
I am not married, wiser. Some woman snap, you up you're right
no there's the woman man you're killing it. Why you're good you're
why to go. I'm proud of you! So as your mercy,
Maybe your personal residents paid off as well
Where are you admire? Yet I am right.
At the moment in chicago- and it was my situation for writing them, but to bed room
on the other, the monti letting you
The room five million dollars each wow stone
so you're, not in a hurry to get out of that not deal now. So what
Are there not shooting down the street either
No no you're, not you're, not you dumb street, so
what do you actually? Is your question like? What are you hoping to get from this call? Ok, there's a general question because the question of doing a lot of power,
by my own building a month at family homes and
into that who pressuring you you know
The question is: do you chicago, like the thing to do? You know why
Ah, among twenty seven well you're to do, but that doesn't mean that smart, for I mean do you,
you have really good instincts. You have really good scales. You are so
or ahead of normal normal shocks as broke. Has no money. I mean you got,
money piled up. You ve done a great job way to go.
If you want to buy
condo, live in, that's fine, but don't buy back,
the society that stupid things, you should write, mackay
you buy because you got by because you looked at it. You should I like these numbers. I mean you're, the guy
in a five hundred dollar rental situation, Chicago you're that guy
score, you're, the you're near the smart guy be listening to him. He's got more going on. So if you
go by your condo. That's great! You got one thousand dollars to put down and
being set back an emergency fund of three to six months from expenses
and set back anything else, you need to purchase everything about buying a car. You they abide by whatever, so that you don't go into debt for the
future items. But after that, the rest.
that money's your down payment, condo or whatever. If you want to buy something but
but when you say by a building you know I'm hearing you been reading real estate investment crap on Tik tok. That's what it sounds like
Now it's my grandfather, all the moto family home, a lot of you, my circle. You know a lot of a lot of them.
the older generation owns a multi family home. So I was thinking why don't our house catch yet a rents are on the top floor, live on the first floor in rents out
that's, not a bad idea, what you should do it
As you looked at it, you ve got a that's how I
went to live because
right news, as your tenants are attached to you, the bad news
Is your tenets are attached to you that?
gonna knocking on the door to a am, if they don't like something,
unless you really should some real clear boundaries is very difficult to manage a multi van
that you live in from boundaries perspective shop. If you
what to do that, that's fine! There's nothing wrong with ever. There's nothing says if you don't do that, you're stupid, because you ain't stupid, dude,
I know that's right, people need to be listening to you, instead of you listening to what they're saying. So, if you want to take whatever you want to read five thousand bucks that what do you, what do you make so I'll make a parking
five thousand a year to my my full time, job in our own business, and what does it make up? I'm combining the income from
Oh, so you make seventy five, including owning a business. Not all seem accounting looking at it from amazon. If you want to take seventy five thousand of the one hundred leave twenty five for an emergency fund, and you,
continue out of your monthly budget, doing investing into your return.
Plan at your workplace, there
and you wanna go by your multi family live on the main fort there's another hour, there's not a bad plant at all, but this
yeah that somehow I don't
here's, your good rule of thumb. Ok,
whatever everyone else in america's doing, do the opposite and you'll probably have some money. True. That now can I play devils advocate
why? Because I'm sitting here thinking warriors my thought, I'm like ok,
was buying a personal residents, and he knows that he can afford it without
went without any rentals. You know just
his own great, but if he's
Buying this building that's more expensive and he's depending on the right coming in. Should he not pay cash for this property
It wouldn't matter if that you're residence and you're gonna get a mortgage allows you can pay the payments.
if you have to have the rent to buy the payments. No, that's what I want! That's what
being with Caesar, I want to make sure he doesn't need the rent.
from the other people. Even upstairs downstairs. You don't go buy something that you can't. If, if you're renders all don't pay, you can't be up a greek right, so he's gotta, you gotta be able to afford this regardless, if
renter caesar. That's just log back here. You gotta keep because here from
new have an empty apartment and you have to make payments. You become desperate
when you become desperate right after that, you get stupid and that's what
put a wrong turn it in any way.
A bigger mash than an empty apartment question, and so, if you don't have to be
The payments you, if you don't have to have somebody to stay alive, right
you know inside the inside the unit there than you make better decisions on who goes in to the EU.
Well, he's got his family, but I am also thinking
family is also the ones that is like hey this month,
we'll take gimme.
Next month, so there's a little little stuff there that him he might need to consider before going in absolute absolute, but overall do it?
because it's the lifestyle you want to live. I want to live on the first floor, willing to do
this phase of my life, I'm willing to the alternative next door
not doing this, because my grandpa did it right, yeah, nodded,
because this autumn tiktok that's
not doing that and arm.
Not until we arrived on the tick taxiing about a month ago. You could pretty well say that whatever was set on, there was useless garden

If in your finances, in fact, every other aspect of real life until you decide you're going to get married, and so I took a deep, diving
you. My finances took a strong look, it's sort of what I had left and dumb. Thankfully, my brother had taken F p. You, my dad, is hosted two sessions at his church down in florida. So was pretty familiar with. You dave and
I decided to do was to take your steps on a test run with my personal finances before we got married and in about
Eight months I paid off about seventy five percent of the debt that I cried before it carried out. It works. It absolutely worked on the budgeting app you work

you have any control over much as invested in. I can do so.
the three options on that side. I can do an alternative where I can put them into. I can put them into the funds that I want per se. I mean they have so much fun and

sixty or sixty one you're lulled by morgan, all my life, a model.
my we are that free accept our house. Waiting on
I've been that way for quite a while one,
goggles we're trying to be good spirits. But my question is this:

Got about. It looks like a dream.
about two hundred and fifty
thousand dollars come to maturity. When I johnson

I owe about one hundred and fifty thousand on our house.
get paid down to about a hundred and ten before retiring. Sixty five,
what I do with the two. Fifty one to pay off the house or
what what? What would you suggest
aside from that money market account? What's your network right now,
we ve got a guy about sixty
ninety thousand dollars and a breeze.
and then we ve got our emergency fund for four months. We've got

we would be
then the thing in your retirement, I'm suddenly at three hundred to three hundred fifty thousand looking at how much is in the slush fund.
the source bond is
right now, six
thousand dollars. We have about fifteen hundred dollars discretionary funds, monthly work,
that's why I said we're going to be putting fun. I'd. Do a thousand dollars extra a month against the house. When do you? What what is the the money? Is it truly a money market account?
you don't have invested in actual urge one
what they call it. That's what appears called it in time.
Tired wants already, I can have a check every time with them, so nobody knew not have invested better than a money market accounts as a money market accounts been you one percent right yeah. No, I can't
I can't do it
and pull money.
I remain inside it. They don't come from other investment, an option contribution at the ceta. It's still stuck to stay and bright put in it still stuck at the right yeah. Ok,
they not have other options other than just a money market that you can move it to inside the state programme.
now. That's why
and the third com, but that is above and beyond as different contribution.
our contribution to ten percent and mine employers contributions. Fourteen percent defy glasgow it onto the and so the, but the question
Usually they have more than one option that you can have it parked in to say it only has to be an money market is
