@@loeki6176 Ill tell you what my uncle told me at 14, im 15 now so not too long ago, save up your money, idc what it is it, if you get a 20 dollar bill save up 25% of if, then the rest you can use it for spending money while also having saved up money, everytime you get money you save 25% of it, you can save 15% so that you have more spending money, or if you're like me just save all of it because lets face it do you really need that "bag of hotfried" i think not, if your cant bc of your own situation, get a box or hide your money between your bed, save that money and it increases, ive been saving sine i was 13 and i now have 500 dollars, its not alot but its something

U.S. Highschool: Today in personal finance we're gonna talk about, you guessed it, business models and macroeconomics Students four years later: What's credit
absolutely spot on lol. I just graduated in 2019, and ive learned just about every piece of useful info on my own. although a few of my past teachers did help out outside of class
That's funny. I took one personal finance class my senior year, and it was by far the easiest math class I've ever taken. Basically applied algebra. But it showed how to calculate interest, budget, and taught students to be financially literate. I didn't learn how to do taxes, but I did learn how to access AZCIS, which is one of my favorite budgeting tools. We learned macroeconomics in economics 😂
Mine is more like being financially independent so I no longer have to deal with my parents bragging to me every day about how they are more superior just because of their age.(Ok, boomer)
saving tip: if you have 355$ dollars for example, keep 300$ aside and try to last your month in those 55$. so at the end of the month you’ll have 300$ in your savings. I’ve saved a lot by this method.

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
it all depends on how long you're willing to hold for and your strategies, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend shouldn't be a problem if you're a pro

Hi Greetings Invest in a secure platform and broker where you will not lose your funds. I'm new to trading, but I met Mr. Raini Titan here on RUclips where he teaches people to trade forex and stocks. which he guides me with a super platform and amazing strategy. I thought it was a scam, but finally I cashed my first $ 57,000 profit last week, he is very reliable and honest, he always tells me the actual time of buying and selling with 100 profit from his one-on-one master training.....Stay bless.
I'm 20 years old and you SOOO right!!!! When I went off to college at 17, I felt so bad about myself because I was going to a community college and I wasn't going to a 4-year institution but, now I feel so much better knowing that I'm in my third year of school and owning no money. Another thing, I did when I was 17 is asking my mom to take me to the bank and open a credit card with her. Now that I'm older I thank myself for that, I also plan to open a Roth IRA soon as a gift to myself for my 21 birthday.

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
Success is grace and favor not hard work alone. I am successful today in the ways and manner I invested my daily earnings, and let's stop always looking inward.

My parents got me a really basic credit card when I was 18 (£400 limit or something) and they didn't let me have it, they used it for shopping and on small purchases and paid it off every month which built my credit card rating for me because of them. They did the same for my older sister.

Self Control is skill that can be easily learned if one is willing to learn that skill. There are many tools/apps out there to track spending that are free to use that can help you learn how to manage money. Also, if you get a secured card and put money down it's a great safe way to learn how to use credit. If you screw up on a bill the credit card company will use your deposited money to pay the debt off. Good tool to build and learn how to use credit. Finally, if your really set a card for a specific purpose such as using the card for only gas or a subscription and set up automatic payments.
Smart! But now is a great time to start learning all you can about investing your money. Learn as much as possible so you're ready by the time you're 18.
I’m 19 now- from Australia. After graduating high school I worked 100 hours a week and saved 90% I had about 35k saved! It was a great feeling, but I had a reason, I have now moved to NYC and studying at my dream acting school- but after moving here and not working for like 2 months and Setting up my life (as well as exchange rate and bank fees) I had $84 in my bank accomt hahaha (nervous laugh) But I’ve been watching these vids- started up my photography business over here and I’m back on track Thanks for all your help!!
@@eliteking1471 So from 4:30am - 12noon I worked making sushi, then from 12:30pm to 4:30pm I worked in a cafe and then I worked from 5-9:30 at a takeawayshop as a manager. This was most days, on Saturday/Sunday my hours would vary. I just did the taxes for it, it was 35k saved in 8 months, I made about 50k between jan- august when I left for school. After looking back. I can highly advised against this tho. The toll it took on my mental health was much more than what it was worth. Now that COVID had come through and i've had time to slow down. I realise that deferring a year and saving at a steadier rate while working better hours would've been just as fulfilling without the constant feeling of 'I'm not making enough money" and "I wanna crash into a tree" But yeah. Very weird time of my life that lead to some of the best experiences I've had so far!
I'm very stressed out that I'm not optimizing my time as an 18 year old I did poorly in high school. And have been finding it difficult to determine how I want to progress as an adult. I'm finding that everything's kind of stuck. And I've been very unsure as to what I could do to better use my time. But after watching your video Stephan I'm a bit less stressed and a bit better informed. And I'm very thankful for that.
in the same boat buddy. best advice is research, research and research brother. the more knowledge you accumulate the more you understand what paths you can take to further your progress.

Ah, wish I watched these types of videos when I was in highschool, but graduated 3 years ago and now 22 years old. I've been watching other RUclipsrs about financials and how to become successful in life in like a year ago and now watching this video and I've already done some of the steps here. The only thing I haven't done what you've stated is to invest my money into ROTH IRA, into index funds, however, I did invest in 2 things and they were both cameras in hopes of making a YT channel one day :). I've actually gone to college, but currently took a break from it and started working a full time job, paying off the $10K student debt, got $30K saved up, hoping to run a business one day as well as a RUclips channel. And I don't spend much money on stuff that I don't really need, and I rarely hang out with friends. Thank you for this video Stephen Graham!
Amazing content. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds (mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months). I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance like you alluded to in your video.
I and my wife diversified my $400K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment advisor, I have been able to generate over $920k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, mutual funds and alternative investments.

It's called Austrian Economics and you can study it free at Mises.org ....or you can watch the first 4 episodes of "Hidden Secrets of Money" by Mike Maloney who is simply a layman who took an interest in our monetary system and has some well-made youtube videos.

@@loeki6176 Ill tell you what my uncle told me at 14, im 15 now so not too long ago, save up your money, idc what it is it, if you get a 20 dollar bill save up 25% of if, then the rest you can use it for spending money while also having saved up money, everytime you get money you save 25% of it, you can save 15% so that you have more spending money, or if you're like me just save all of it because lets face it do you really need that "bag of hotfried" i think not, if your cant bc of your own situation, get a box or hide your money between your bed, save that money and it increases, ive been saving sine i was 13 and i now have 500 dollars, its not alot but its something

You guys must've had some bad PF teachers
absolutely spot on lol. I just graduated in 2019, and ive learned just about every piece of useful info on my own. although a few of my past teachers did help out outside of class
That's funny. I took one personal finance class my senior year, and it was by far the easiest math class I've ever taken. Basically applied algebra. But it showed how to calculate interest, budget, and taught students to be financially literate. I didn't learn how to do taxes, but I did learn how to access AZCIS, which is one of my favorite budgeting tools. We learned macroeconomics in economics 😂

To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edge as investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it's the best time to get started on the market, what are your thoughts?
Since the crash, I've been in the red. I’m playing the long term game, so I'm not too worried but Jim Cramer mentioned there are still a lot of great opportunities, though stocks has been down a lot. I also heard news of a guy that made $250k from about $110k since the crash and I would really look to know how to go about this.
it all depends on how long you're willing to hold for and your strategies, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend shouldn't be a problem if you're a pro

If you wanna be successful, you most take responsibility for your emotions, not place the blame on others. In addition to make you feel more guilty about your faults, pointing the finger at others will only serve to increase your sense of personal accountability. There's always a risk in every investment, yet people still invest and succeed. You most look outward if you wanna be successful in life.
Sure! Is a better way to counter this foreseen inflation, because all this wars everywhere are politics.

Don't get a credit card at 18 if you don't have self control
Get one, cut it up, put a small subscription on it, and have your bank auto-pay it until you learn how to be a responsible adult.
Get Self Control yourr 18 not 14
robo9876 Don’t get a credit card at any age if you don’t have self control
Self Control is skill that can be easily learned if one is willing to learn that skill. There are many tools/apps out there to track spending that are free to use that can help you learn how to manage money. Also, if you get a secured card and put money down it's a great safe way to learn how to use credit. If you screw up on a bill the credit card company will use your deposited money to pay the debt off. Good tool to build and learn how to use credit. Finally, if your really set a card for a specific purpose such as using the card for only gas or a subscription and set up automatic payments.

But I’ve been watching these vids- started up my photography business over here and I’m back on track

@@eliteking1471 So from 4:30am - 12noon I worked making sushi, then from 12:30pm to 4:30pm I worked in a cafe and then I worked from 5-9:30 at a takeawayshop as a manager. This was most days, on Saturday/Sunday my hours would vary. I just did the taxes for it, it was 35k saved in 8 months, I made about 50k between jan- august when I left for school.
After looking back. I can highly advised against this tho. The toll it took on my mental health was much more than what it was worth. Now that COVID had come through and i've had time to slow down. I realise that deferring a year and saving at a steadier rate while working better hours would've been just as fulfilling without the constant feeling of 'I'm not making enough money" and "I wanna crash into a tree"
But yeah. Very weird time of my life that lead to some of the best experiences I've had so far!

I've been watching other RUclipsrs about financials and how to become successful in life in like a year ago and now watching this video and I've already done some of the steps here. The only thing I haven't done what you've stated is to invest my money into ROTH IRA, into index funds, however, I did invest in 2 things and they were both cameras in hopes of making a YT channel one day :). I've actually gone to college, but currently took a break from it and started working a full time job, paying off the $10K student debt, got $30K saved up, hoping to run a business one day as well as a RUclips channel. And I don't spend much money on stuff that I don't really need, and I rarely hang out with friends. Thank you for this video Stephen Graham!
Centauri A We are in the same boat bro ! Good luck to you!
Amazing content. I started a bit late (graduated from my doctorate program at age 30 in 2016 with 170k in school loan debt). Managed to pay off my debt by 2019 and currently have a house and 250k total in investments (combo of profit share, 401k and a brokerage account). I'm not very knowledgeable in investing, so I just have my investing currently in index funds (mainly voo, but have been putting a lot into schd the past few months). I dunno if that's the optimal strategy, but psychologically it is very set it and forget it, and prevents me from obsessing over individual stock performance like you alluded to in your video.
I and my wife diversified my $400K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment advisor, I have been able to generate over $920k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, mutual funds and alternative investments.
it all depends on how long you're willing to hold for and your strategies, stocks might likely tank further, but making serious gains in this downtrend shouldn't be a problem if you're a pro
@@meredithelbert6608 Sounds great. I could really use the expertise of an advisor. Just can't find while I'm away for work in New Zealand for another year. Who is this person guiding you?

Yeah I waste so much money on junk food I really need to stop.
Went to community college for two years then finished my bachelors at a state university. Excelled at community college and got a full scholarship to finish my degree. I continued to work 20 hours a week even when I had a full ride to school. Was able to graduate absolutely debt free and invested over $8,000 in my Roth IRA.
GO TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE!!!
Better yet, do early college! Started community college sophomore year in high school, going to graduate high school with an associates, completely covered. (Plus I get a $150 gift card per term for textbooks... if I need to buy them 😉)
@@juliaborcoman5388 that's awesome Julia! I always wish I had done that!
Amazing way to stay debt free! Wish more people our age looked into this option. very unfortunate to see my friends going into such high amounts of debt in just their first two years of state university.
Big facts! Did the same thing!
I looked into the roth ira. And I started it on vanguard. But once I put my banking info in how does it work
I’m 18 (turning 19 soon) and this is my stats.
1. I’m waiting my first credit card now. It’s coming either today or tomorrow. (Student discover card)
2.i had my own bank account since I was 16.
3. Never knew about to Roth IRA. I will look into it more.
4.I have no debt.
5. I have a seasonal summer job, and a student job at college
6: I save well. But I live in a low income family I often give my money to help my family. I working on it lol.
7. I’m turning a sophomore in college, I’m not sure what I want to do but I’m on a scholarship so I have no debt right now. Parents didn’t go so a lot of pressure is on me.
8. I want to invest. But Im working on it.
Adrianna Green You’ll slowly get there, I’m also turning 19 soon but I haven’t even graduated high school lmaoo and because of that I’ve been able to save a decent amount of money
I feel so positive now, Thanks for this beggining of my journey hope it works out

Take advantage of your age! Everything in this video is true! I started at 20. I grew up in a low-income household. Wish I could have done it by 18 but Now I'm 24 with 800+ credit score, 100k in total credit card limits, Roth IRA, 2 nice cars with low payments, and a co-business owner.

21 y/o here appreciate all the advice over the past few videos.
Investing in the right stocks that are profitable benefiting from secular shifts in consumer behavior can significantly increase the chances of finding a life-changing investment.
It's never too late to start investing. The best time to invest in stocks was always yesterday and the second best is always today.
Making the decision to embark on my investing journey really set me up for greater financial independence
All investing should be within the stock market, it sure does provide opportunities to earn some decent payouts.
I lowkey feel like the earth is gonna end by the time I'm 59.5 should i even do this

This is the first serious "turning 18" video that I've found that provides proper info that isn't a vlog/meme video like what I've found before.

Shut up bro
Rich? Probably not. Financially secure? More than likely.
Thank you for this. I had my teenage daughters listen to this and will have them watch again in the near future. I think it helps hearing it from someone else. I want them to be financially responsible and learn as much as they can now.
That’s good but do not force them to watch it, or they won’t like it(speaking as a retired kid)
Today is my 18 birthday, and literally just applied and was accepted for a credit card. Step one done :)

I turned 18 last October bro, did the exact same thing. my credit score is at 738 as of right now. ive also got a dividend portfolio worth $10,000, takes time but things eventually workout. best of luck bro
Hugo Vargas good job man. My credit score is at about 730 right now so pretty close there. No portfolio however. How’d you get into that?
Colby Emmons ive been into finances and investing since like 13 bro, i talk about it on my channel a bit. i asked around when i was young and literally went to the doorsteps of my local charles schwab to learn first hand, i was terrified seeing so many people in suits, but it worked out in the end😅 that experience was a big help

Hi grahamt, I just turned 13 and for my birthday my dad opened me a brokerage, your videos helped me stay motivated to continue working with stocks (I have made about a 30 percent gain) and your videos have taught me so much, thank you
THAT'S AWESOME TO START AT 13!!
DeadPixel oops it corrected ig
Jonah Dagher jeez 30% is amazing so far I’m losing 10% which isn’t good but I think it’s worth the gain in knowledge
5Jack_Attack5 thanks, I lost for the first few days but once I found channels like ziptrader (great channel would 100% recommend) I stated to understand the market and there fore make more money :)
Graham: stay out of debt!
Colleges:
*rubs hands sinisterly*
trato 2015 I'm sorry but I don't know where you come from where a masters or Ph.D. doesn't prove anything.
In school, nobody taught this type of stuff. No mandatory class. One of my math teachers taught us out of wanting to inform us. Too bad we were all barely 12.
This literally is the best channel being 16 I learn so much and I know what I have to do 2 years later
why cant we invest on index funds right now?
@@andresblandon8529 I think you can but it requires you to have a debit card and then using one of your parents social security numbers. One of my friends trades stocks and he is 15
I’m 17 and I’m so glad you have given me this info!
Graham hates on Dave Ramsey, but Dave is worth listening to as well.
I watch Dave already
@@kylee4128 very good. The last recommendation I have for a full view on finance would be Peter Schiff. Both Graham and Dave are against gold. Schiff is the pro-gold argument.
I’ll check him out. Thanks!
@@kylee4128 if you are a reader, Peter Schiff is doing nothing more than talking the same ideas Murray Rothbard (economist in the 1970s when the US went off the gold standard) wrote in "what has government done to our money". And both are repeating what Ludwig Von Mises wrote from Germany during the Weinmar Republic's hyperinflation. It's called Austrian Economics and you can study it free at Mises.org
....or you can watch the first 4 episodes of "Hidden Secrets of Money" by Mike Maloney who is simply a layman who took an interest in our monetary system and has some well-made youtube videos. Mike Maloney is pro Crypto. Especially the idea of Bitcoin being the new digital gold. But Peter Schiff (along with reading Murray Rothbard) will argue Bitcoin is nothing but modern "Tulip Bulb Speculation". So many successful people who disagree with each other. So you'll have to make up your own mind
Getting a job is a big tip, don't underestimate having experience on your resume, it will help you leverage experience in the future and move up.
William Smith I’m 19, never had a job coz no one will hire me Coz I have no experience... I really don’t know what to do
@@benj9380 Work in fast food/retail and try working your way up to management. Stay there a few years and aim for corporate. Volunteer at the courthouse of your city and get experience that way, and try getting involved in organizations to gain connections that could get you hired.
Ben J I would suggest first applying to simple office jobs that are not fast food or retail if you havent already (like in a library, post office, as a secretary, assistant, etc). Those usually dont have tons of requirements and hire younger people even with very little experience. If those dont work out, fine then get a retail/fast food job, but do that as a last resort as those are often annoying, dont give that many new skills, and pay less
Turned 18 yesterday, got accepted for the discover credit card, opened a Roth IRA and my own personal checking account, have a job, I also have investment plans and im looking forward to seeing where I end up in a few years. Thanks for the advice.
Goodluck bro
can we get an update?
@@ellasworld4214 I got another credit card soon after that, planning on getting a third one soon, my credit score is 717 now. That checking account I opened gave me 300 bucks for getting direct deposits, the ira account gave me 100 bucks, I think I've got some other bonuses as well. I opened a samsung money by sofi account and I have 2.5% APY in that account. I'm a little behind on the investing though, I have been investing but not as much as I should. All in all doing pretty good right now financially speaking.
@@lucasmitchell369 damn . Good luck buddy
I love that he wrote the tips in the description 'cause it means he's really sure about himself, like, "I don't care if u don't want to watch the full video, but here is its content, go make yourself a better life" (also, a summary was going to be written in the comments anyway, so...😂😂😂)
Na Mad ok?
When I was 18, my parents got me a cc w/a $200 limit. They stressed that I would be in charge of paying it off in full every single month, so I had to think carefully how much I would put on it. Best training ever! Rule #6 needs to be #1 for sure!
Graham, thanks for the most straightforward advice you can give to any young adult and teenager. You truly are an inspiration. Keep up the good work, keep doing what you are doing. Hopefully I will see you at the top and meet you in person someday
did it work?
Best consistent RUclipsr in the Financial - Real State topics. Really enjoying and making profit from your vids
Community college is the way to go you can easily stay out of debt and the 2 year degree is well worth it. And takes little effort out of your day.
Hesu Teravanesyan you have no clue what you are talking about lmfao go to community college and then transfer and you get your degree from there
@@hesuteravanesyan582 That's just not true. If you go to community and then transfer to a four year school and get a Bachelor's degree, no company EVER will care how you got that degree they just care you have it so you are qualified for the job.
Hesu Teravanesyan man how does your head fit on your shoulders
xckj also you can take business clases if you're into it.
Agreed! I’m lucky and have a program where I can graduate with a associate degree in Diesel Tech and go to a ford internship the year I graduate high school! I’m not spending a dime at all just got to keep grades up
I am about to turn 18 and this was extremely helpful.
Me to in 3 months I turn 18
I have an investment account set up with $1,166.43 invested already. Im 12 right now so hopefully by the time im 18 it will be well over 5k
That’s good, make sure you are aware of the interest rate. 1% and above is good, but many physical banks cheaply give 0.01% interest apr. 0.01% interest will not gain hundreds in 6 yrs, but 1% will.

He didnt attend university
Attend an in-state public University, unless the out of state public University, or private school, is a top 25 school.
Yeah I mean your guess is probably as good as his, he chose not to attend university. It probably be something along the lines of live below your means and be smart with you’re mean. Like rent textbooks instead of buying them and stuff like that.
Dolan White if you can live with parents, do that. If not try to live “creatively”. I lived in a boat for the last year (should have done it longer) and sold it after which saved me like 7000k which I used to invest.
