      first, if your income is close to zero, this video is useless. For that, you have to go watch a video about how to get a job or set up an income.
      Second, what you invest in depends completely on where you live and how much you make. But i'll share my example. I'm a 25 year old living in a developing country. I don't make a lot of money yet. As soon as I started earning, I set up a life insurance policy (provided by our government) and every six months, I pay about a month's salary as premium.
      In about 15 years, i'll get all that money back with interest, It'll be almost 75% more than what I spent in total. It means that, even when i'm out of work or making less, my money is *still* growing for me. All I have to do is make sure I pay my premiums.
      As middle class people in our specific country, this is what we did. You have to find something that works for your country and social class. Find someone who can advise you. RUclips grifters will never tell all this boring stuff, they'll just trick you into buying courses or crypto.

    Solid advice.
    I grew up in a poor household and was neglected during my childhood. After being kicked out and living on my own, I've quickly learned the importance of a dollar. Landed a full-time job at 17, and invested the remainder of my first paycheque after clearing monthly expenses. I've done that every paycheque since.
    Paid my own way through part-time school while working full-time and renting a small apartment.
    Lived frugally, never buying anything I didn't need, but instead spent cash on experiences and whatever it took to meet the right people.
    25 years later my family and I are financially independent, and travel the world on a whim. My investments pay all my expenses. But I continue to contribute all excess cash to my investments, and otherwise spend little (15 year old car and cracked 5-year old smartphone because it still works!).
    Wealth is there for the taking-- it requires direction, discipline and TIME. Of course living in a relatively wealthy country, in terms of both GDP and opportunity, certainly helps!

      Think about this: When you say "My investments pay all my expenses".. who is really paying your expenses? Your investments don't create any products or offer services that have any value. They are nothing but a virtual variable in a virtual system. They don't do anything good for anyone.
      There is a finite amount of currency in circulation. If you gain money without offering a product or service in return, someone has lost that money. It doesn't just appear out of thin air. So if someone loses money without you giving anything in return.. you just stole from someone. And in this financial system that means money was ultimately generated on the backs of disadvantaged nations, crime or environmental damage. We may look at investments as a harmless thing because it looks so clean. But if you look at what it really means then you figure out "investments" are the same as human trafficing, narcotics, deforesting the amazonas or any other dirty business where people get rich by taking/harming others. Playing the financial system for any gains is nothing to be proud of, but to be ashamed.

      That’s so often what happens to me. Client’s repeatedly hire me because of my excellent work, but striving for perfection limits my progress. I suffer from the “paralysis of analysis”. I micro manage so much in my mind, that I’m exhausted before I start the project. It’s near impossible for me to expand because of my quest for perfection.

Management has made it harder to pick up extra hours... I have so many bills at the end of the month that I'm essentially saving for each month. Those small little endeavors for new clothes or a night out with my girlfriend are all I have to look forward too. But... I do have a lot of free time. Enough time to start a small business or pressure wash around my neighborhood. Maybe hedge trimming. I love outdoor physical work.

    I grew up, poor my whole life and understood nothing about accumulating or retaining wealth. It wasn’t until I started saving 10% of everything I made when I realized how powerful that is. After a couple years of doing that at one day, found myself talking to one of my richest clients about business and such. Anyways, when I told him out, save 10% of what I make the only thing he said to me was “ save 30%” that was some of the best advice I had ever gotten in my life and now I’m at the point where I save anywhere from 40 to 60% now if I want to go on a trip and spend $5000 it doesn’t even dent my pocket. When I do spend a piece of it, I pay myself back 10 to 20% the quantity every time I get paid, including my 30%.

    Sincerely enjoy your YT presentation and your delivery is very understandable--seems other financial based pods have not started out basic enough for me, at least! I have felt like I was sitting in a 6th grade class but I had not yet been to 1st grade. Seems it was assumed I was starting out with more basic info than I actually had.
    Your 'step 1' is, for me, an encouraging guide and 'do-able' place to put my foot on a roadmap that seems hopeful to create a plan and a journey that could possibly 'NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND AND I DON'T JUST FEEL OVER-WHELMED, DEFEATED, STUPID, A FAILURE WHO IS LESS THAN THE REST OF THE PACT, UNABLE TO KEEP UP WITH THE CONTENT DELIVERY, DRINKING FROM A FIRE HOSE INSTEAD OF A GLASS!'
    I'm ADD (not hyper, rather inattentive). Staying focused finding ways to effectively/efficiently/quickly return to to the big picture, the map, the process, and the destination, visually- keep regularly refreshing my commitment to each step toword a consistent destination is my challenge due to the 'slipped gear' in my brain lending to ease of getting distracted and off focus; all of which is the achilles heel I must control. What helps this snag is a manageble system with simplicity and clarity getting started and regular weekly coaching!
    Hoping your podcast can assist😊

    presentation and transparency is your fertilizer for growing your channel, HEY, YOU ARE A NATURAL! ay

I’ve heard about paying yourself first and I’ve been making extra money selling vintage stuff on eBay we have lying around and on Etsy I’ve been selling my art. I invested in a cricut machine to make stickers and also a button maker. I felt immense guilt because it hasn’t taken off how I want, I get sales but it’s not consistent, but you’re so right investing doesn’t have to be like the stock market and it’s something I really enjoy doing. It makes me so happy to see the kind messages and reviews people have left me! I’ve also been doing commissions and applying to freelance work too. The earnings I make I’ve been dumping into a high yield savings account and not touching it either, but it takes time as you said and I guess this is how I diversify because it’s not enough to have a regular job anymore and I see the greater potential to work for myself at this point.

      You've really got a lot of hustle! I'd recommend a diversified index fund from a company like Vanguard or Fidelity to put your money in so that the money you have at the bank isn't losing money to inflation. If that makes you uncomfortable then at the very least I would move the money to a money market account (not a money market fund, that's a different thing). The money market account gets a much much higher interest rate (5% currently) while still be FDIC insured and some of them let you write checks. Don't throw money away to inflation!

I've always been the kind of person that didn't think about financially freedom. Crazy as it may sound, I was raised to not think as a " free" man. At the age of 14 tho I started to save up money and it compounded over the time and I'm happy for that. Lately thanks to you and others youtubers that talk about finance I'm discovering new sides of me and the urge of be independent is high. Another issue of mine is that I consume too much self development content and use my time to learn foreign languages. Languages are a double end sword. They let you open new opportunities but if you don't use them on a daily basis they can be useless as an exchange value you were mentioning in the video.

    I dont make alot of money, but i still own a house in a pricey area, a decent car and i can go on atleast one vacation and several long trips per year. The key is to always save a little bit of your income, spend less on shit that you dont need, and to bring your leftovers to work the next day 😅

      This a powerful trick to fool yourself. Use only cash to spend. First you pay your mortgage or rent, phone bill etc. and then you have a few envelopes for each month where you put cash for necessities you need to spend on. First envelope should be groceries, second can be gas or hobbies etc. When you have spent your cash, it’s over. You can’t spend more. This was a piece of advice from a financial coach. Wanted to pass it along, wish it serves you well. Cash is way harder to spend than to save.

    I very much relate to the chucky cheese analogy. I am very guilty of acting like a fool for 30 years, buying trinkets and treats, treating my money just like some dumb kid that won big at that spinny lights game at the arcade. Blablabla bad habits from my parents blablabla. Being a fellow Canadian, watching the housing market here in the GTA has given me this hopeless “might as well just order ubereats again since saving for a house is impossible" attitude which I know isn’t helping anything. I really need to find a way to bring in more money.

    • @HenkZ-po4fw

      What helped for me is, when tempting to order something, look up the recipe. Calculate the cost of making it yourself + time spent (and cooking skill improved). If you think it's worth it, by all means, do it. But 99% of the time, you're better of making it yourself (duh). Anyways, I don't order in or take away, just because it hurts me spending all that money, just on a bit of food. Guess it's the kind of mindset you'll need in order to save it.
      Another thing is, calculate the money you save by making it yourself, compounded over say... 20 years. If you only save 100$ a month by cooking more yourself, that'll be $51041,- compounded by 7% interest over 20 years. That's enough motivation for me :)

    Excellent video! Folks who have this issue/think about money this way, consider getting yourself a “treat” drawer! I HAD to do this. Essentially, when I have a little extra money that I can splurge on something with, I will buy myself a couple of treats online. For me, It’s usually clothes. Then, when they come in the mail, I will go stash them somewhere. When weeks go by and I’m feeling that retail therapy urge, I will instead go to my treat drawer and I am instantly satiated and no money from my paycheck was spent. I do this about 4 times a year and usually budget to spend around $200 max on my “treats”.
