IT'S WHY HE SAID " ITS LIKE THEY SET HIM UP FOR FAILURE" ..EVERYONE SHOULD LEARN ABOUT MONEY/FINANCES NOT JUST LEARNING HOW TO MAKE MONEY AND SPENDING IT. STUDY FINANCING BECOME YOUR OWN ACCOUNTANT BEHIND YOUR ACCOUNTANTS..SO YOU'LL ALSO KNOW WHATS DUE TO UNC SAM, AND TO SEE IF THE PPL YOU HIRED TO OVERSEE YOUR FINANCES ARE TAKING YOUR MONEY AND STASHING IT FOR THEMSELVES.

      Before you started a business did you ever have a job
      Ever notice when you earned $600 you only got $425 😂
      Or you earned $1k but you got $760
      And then at the beginning of every year you never heard of tax season
      , H&R Block , file your taxes.
      Never got a tax refund ?
      Never knew they take social security so when you get old you get social security 🤔 🧐 I’m seriously asking not bashing because I know school don’t teach anything that’s truly important for life success. 75% of what they teach is wrong 5 years later 😅

  • @seanrojas

    Basically, every time you make “taxable” money outside a 9-5, save a chunk of it because you’ll need to pay taxes on that money later on during tax season.
    Example: If you make a check for 10k, you don’t get to keep all of it. And even if you spend it all, you still gonna have to owe taxes on that original 10k.
