I retired at 52 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner. The 9-to-5 grind always steals your freedom for a paycheck that barely scratches the surface. My advice? If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s, start saving for FIRE now (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) And if you’re in your 50s, invest smartly and break free from relying on your job. Market trends, like the Trump Effect, have made millions for many, including me. Stay focused, stay consistent, and remember financial freedom is within reach if you make it a priority.
Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.
A 3 month poker phase is so perfect. Mine lasted 3.5 years when I cut out all gambling because it was so self destructive. Learning in 3 months that you should stop is amazing.
Needed to hear this, im 24 and im in a bad financial situation. Not the worst but annoying, yet i still buy stupid things. But i am learning! And the relationship thing isn’t going so well rn, but im figuring it out slowly. Thanks for posting this, many of us guys needed to hear this
At the end of the day you know what you want. If you get a chance today write down what you want in life and whats stopping you and assess what you can change
Hey stars, I'm 23 (and I'll be 24 this year) and hearing this helps a lot. I'm scared of the future but I know I can only go forward in life. Thank you for sharing man.
I was just like you at the same age, aging comes with plenty of experiences. Failing is learning. Once you get older you will have many experiences where you learn so much and will help you advance in life because you will learn a lot from the journey.
I'm 25, gonna be 26 in half a year and I started a Call of Duty channel just like you and it's comforting to see people who are in their late 20s and sometimes in their 30s still playing video games. It's been my escape for all my life and it's nice to see that I'll prob keep this hobby for the rest of my life. Good video man, subbed!
I appreciate the comment and sub! Gaming is a great for any adult at any age once you are exposed to the real world. Obviously you will have your own problems and see everything that is happening in the world you need some sort of break from reality or you will go insane. gaming is perfect for that. i won't stop gaming.
Im glad you got something out of the video. Just remember you can learn something everyday wether you're 17 or 77. Nothing better then preparing for the future.
You'll be wiser than 99 percent of people your age to actually use the information too. I was taught at a young age many similar things but I didn't stick with them/believe it.
I just turned 26 a few days ago and I feel even worse about being behind for simply not having a college degree/career and still live with my parents. I went through burning bridges and a self-sabotaging spree last year for not being happy with myself hoping I'd get a push, which has made progress. All I am incredibly concerned about is have a better job through college and move tf out. Maybe my fault is becoming desperate about those things, I set myself back.
I lived with my parents up until 26 and saved tens of thousands of dollars doing so... don't feel like a loser at all. I don't have a college degree either but I made things work. Just please don't compare yourself to others its the worst thing you can do. You're running your own race.
I think the second most important thing outside of just living is GET SMART, learn everything you can and want, you’re going to get further when you know more. And I don’t mean go to college, while that’s good and all, and it teaches you how to prepare for the workforce, it’s just learning, not “getting smart”. Books are only so important in my opinion, I’ve read enough to know that you will only ever get what someone else knows, you still have to learn for yourself as you said. Thanks for the advice mate
I love this getting smart is key to a lot of things in life... learning new skills is easy these days with the power of the internet. I try to learn new skills every month wether it be a skill with my camera, a program on my computer or something at the gym.It's essential you get with the times
Great message for some of the younger guys and gals watching. I think my big takeway is around the 5th minute mark about finding out what you don't like. I am blessed in that I did not have an issues of "What I want to do." The one conclusion I made if I am faced to give someone advice who feels stuck and doesn't know what they want to do is to find out what you really don't like doing quickly and get the hell out of it ASAP. I've had many jobs where just like the warehouse that I never want to come back to ever again.
27, fiancé, son due next month. Buy don’t rent. Only advice I have. Started in college and it was scary, and I’m still cash poor… but if I sell the assets I invested in, all would be good. Don’t rent.
self improvement - subtle art of not giving a f**k, the consistency formula, Relentless & Atomic Habits finance - rich dad, poor dad & money master the game this is just to name a few I might make a big video on books to read and what I got out of them

Exactly My point! The 9 to 5 grind is just not worth it the stress and low payoff. What specific steps did you take to break free?

Got it! Thanks for the tip! I was curious, so I looked up Lorrie
I have 5 more years and I can’t wait to retire!

I was making about $87 an hour and it all went crashing down... realised I couldn't hit that form again and moved on... It was a good experience
