    Hi this is the girlfriend. I wanted to make it clear that I am a senior at Arizona State University finishing my bachelors of science in Applied biological sciences. I have been with clinton before he had this much money, so I love him with or without money. We split all shared costs minus the mortgage (I offered to pay, but this was Clinton’s choice to help me cut cost while I am in school). My sister katelin is only 19 and just moved in with us a couple months ago to get out of the small town we grew up in for opportunities here in Austin. She plans to get her own place when she starts school in August. Clinton is very kind to let us help her start a healthy adult life.
    The video does not explain our situation well, but It did explain how awesome clinton is. I am happy he can share his wonderful story. Thanks for watching.

      Hey! He is a nice guy and It shows that you both are grateful for his support. My boyfriend paid for some of my education and rent for my last 3 semesters at uni. We had been together for 2 years and decided to move to the US. Because my immigration status I could only work 10 hours/week at university so he picked the tab. But as soon as I graduated and was able to get a good job I paid him every cent ( some cash and covered his rent for 1.5 years). At times I wished I didn’t have to, but I felt obligated to do it, mainly to honor his generosity. But I have always been extremely independent and while I do appreciated his support I don’t want to owe my success ( whatever that means) to anyone. We have been happily together 7 years . Good luck to you guys ( he is a keeper for sure 😉).

      To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal. Remember, diversification is an approach to help manage investment risk. It does not eliminate the risk of loss if security prices decline.Because investing can be complicated, consider working with a financial professional to help guide you on your wealth-building journey.

      Way below his means, no. He could have bought a condo and gas car. He's somebody that likes to buy everything he wants, but is sure to invest consistently. Also, two months of emergency expenses is nothing. I guess he just intends to use it for car repair, and minor house repairs.

      This is a good comment. Most of the ppl here have unrealistically high side hustles that make their income breakdown atypical. To be fair, this guy’s expense breakdown is a little misleading too, as a large portion of his investment is probably RSUs and are received as part of his salary and are not immediately liquid.

    The girlfriend needs more independence. She living under a paternalistic stipulation "or furthering herself" rather than setting her own boundaries. He's not your dad. And you're not married. If you break up, how will you support yourself? How will her sister support herself at 19 with no education in an expensive city like Austin? It just seems like her/her sister's financial stability is entirely contingent on this relationship, and while he seems nice enough, this level of codependence imo isn't healthy outside a legal commitment like marriage. (not to say marriage is for everyone, but she literally has no safety net if this relationship goes sour). If she can't afford her half of this lifestyle without him, she basically has no autonomy.
