    Summary:
    1. Don't live above your means - The money you save in your 20s is worth exponentially more than the money you save in your 30s due to compound interest.
    2. Build up your credit score - Get a credit card, spend some money with it, pay it off in full every month and increase your credit score.
    3. Don't wait for things to happen - If there's something you want, make it happen. Even if you have no idea what you want to do, use this as a time to try new things and gain new experiences.
    4. Take more risk - Put yourself in uncomfortable positions, try a new career, start a business. If you could do anything right now and you wouldn't fail at it, what would you do? You can do these things now while you don't have too many responsibilities.
    5. No one has it all figured out - Most people are just winging it as they go along. You will always have some doubt about what your are doing, but everyone else has those doubts too.
    6. Don't worry about nothing - If you spend your time thinking about things that are probably not going to happen, you will be taking that time away from other things which you could be working towards to better your life.

      @MissJamborina 3 года назад +4

      This is a whole mood. I think all the passive learning I did listening to his videos set me up for success for when I actually started a job and got an income.
      He’s the reason I know what a high yield savings account is, why APYs and debt interest rates matter so much, what the difference between a Roth and traditional account is, how it can be really cool and inspiring to live below your means and to take genuine pride in your savings and investments even if no one else sees or knows about them.
      And it’s all doubly important for women bc financial knowledge isn’t typically taught to us or encouraged in us bc of stupid gender roles.
      Thanks to my own hard work, a good bit of luck, and people like Graham Stephan, who are or at least feel quite genuine in sharing financial knowledge, I’ve saved and invested 20k this year alone. Super proud of myself. You can do it too!

    I was a mortgage loan officer at the time, and I am SO thankful that a bunch of my old coworkers practically held me down and FORCED me to set up my 401k, contributing 10% per paycheck, including the company match.

    I recognized how expensive Starbucks was, so every time I wanted to go get a coffee, I would put that money in a savings account and not go get one. Eventually I had enough money to buy an espresso machine, I did that and have been spending $0.30 on coffee daily instead of $6/day. Yesterday I went to Starbucks to see how close I was to their flavors (I’m trying to learn to make Quality lattes and such) and I was disgusted. Starbucks doesn’t even taste good compared to my home made stuff 😂. Thank you Graham for your amazing knowledge

It actually reminds me of a year when I was so broke that I could barely pay my bills. I remember the most important step in my life when I invested my last income with an experienced Forex trader who was recommended to me by a friend. It may seem a bit, but it took courage to know that investing was the right thing to do at the time. Today my small investment of just $ 300 generated over $ 80,000,After I kept Investing and reinvesting. To be successful, you must take a big step. It all starts here.

  • @Astillion
    @Astillion 4 года назад +1

    I can vouch for the advice about not taking risks. I played it mostly safe in my 20's, but I put a lot of things off and I didn't take the risks that I should have. When I exited my 20's I was broke, obese, and had never been in a relationship. But things started to turn around for me in my early 30's. I got a lucky break, and then fought my way back from the abyss. I'm now one year away from being financially independent. I've lost over 100 pounds and am in the best shape of my life. I have a goal of being able to do 100 pushups by the end of the year. I'm still single, but I've been on a couple of dates and it feels like it's not impossible to meet someone.
    I wish I had heard this advice when I was 20. Things would have been very different for me. On the other hand, the experience from all those mistakes has made me the person I am today.

My only problem is I took out student loans because I was not able to live at home and go to school and the school I go to has given me really great opportunities so I do see it as an investment and yes, not the smartest financial idea but I am majoring in Computer Science and should pay it off within one or two years post-graduation. The loans are also really low in interest rates.
