      Society manipulate you that money is hapiness. Cause that boost country economy & give tons of tax revenue to the government. They dont care about your hapiness

He just visited Europe for the first time and is excited to travel the country in a camper van with my mom during retirement.
    My MD makes over $2mm a year (in addition to a highly-paid spouse) and stresses about private boarding school tuition, misses family events, takes weekly 6am cross-country flights, and regularly questions if the delayed gratification plan he's had for the last 20 years will be worth it.

      @@burt792
      Your numbers are all wrong. Your keywords on google are also wrong. Don't put "EU average income tax", but put "How much income tax rate do the average people pay in EU?" In short, your numbers are average by countries, not by people, which is what really matters. In reality you have way way more people on the 60% tax bracket instead of the lower ones, thus subsidizing the rest of the EU. For corporate, that number is even more absurd, closer to 70%. How are you going to stimulate growth this way? Eventually, the money has to come from somewhere. You're (or someone else is) paying for it, just under a different label. If you were to pay for your hospital bills why would you ever wanna have an inefficient middleman (a.k.a the government) is beyond me. Why not just pay for it directly? This way everyone can be responsible for themselves, it forces you to put effort into staying healthy because we can all agree that paying sucks, so this cut off the very unneccessary people with "who cares, someone is paying for me anyway" mentality to be carried of.
      I supposed your number on US was also wrong, so I went on a little adventure for the real number, and even if accounting for four income-based categories of taxation (Federal, state/local, social security, and Medicare), the number comes at 29.8%. So... half the amount than that of the EU, of course you guys got 'free stuff'.

    He is 23. He has worked for his company for 2 years. Therefore, he started working at 21.

When you and he take vacations, for example, that difference is irrelevant and he's effectively saving money versus someone whose salary is scaled directly. The same is true of student loans, savings for retirement and personal expenses, and a number of other things.
      When all of that is considered, he's still probably able to save and spend more than someone making, say, $100-120k/yr in an area with a medium cost of living (especially given his high savings rate).

      I never track expenses or plan a budget either, just minimize expenses and maximize investments. I guess some people feel more organized when they do it. I always found it limiting.
      For example, this guy allocates $500 a month to his Roth IRA, so what happens when he has an extra $100 lying around? Usually people stick to the plan; invest $500 and find a way to blow the other $100. But, if expenses are minimized why increase them to stick to your plan?
      It’s also possible he made the budget just for the video, but he comes off as someone who would have a budget.

      @@pineapple8048 Why? He's not wrong. Millennials are people born between 1981 & 1999. Some include early 2000s. But most not.
      Generation Z follows on that, late 1990s, early 2010s. Obviously, you have overlaps. And he's dead in the middle. So he's both.

      I legit thought this was a Graham reacting video! I was a little disappointed that it was the actual millenial money video but the guy was very likeable so it was good :)
