Transcript excerpt
You take your income and multiply it by 12 and a half, that number is the exact point where your money starts earning more than what your job pays you. If your portfolio is under that point, your savings rate is incredibly important because it's entirely possible that the amount that you save is actually greater than what your is earning. But once you're above it, your portfolio is earning more than you could even come close to saving in a single year. What's important to know is that the only controlling factor you have to get there faster is the amount that you save. It's what you actually keep. You can't control what the market gives you, so monthly consistent saving is the fastest way there.
