Something I need to be better about. I let things bother me too easily especially when someone says something cruel or untasteful first, I just stoop so much lower and say things you should just never say to people and then I regret it later.
I've never had a group of friends our even acquaintances that doesn't do this. I think it was a defense mechanism because I'm tall and probably a threat
There was this guy at work that was making fun of me. I stood up to him and he stop. Later I lost weight, learning investments, and learning stuff that caught my interest. Later I caught him using one of my recipes for my healthy meals. That's when I knew whatever hes asking me for something he was not going to get from me.
9 words You can love anyone you choose to, but they aren’t always the best choice. It’s not to seek better constantly, but to accept that things may go wrong, and that’s ok.
1. Take care of yourself (you only get one body) 2. Give 0 F*&ks 3. Take (calculated) risks - don't be afraid to fail 4. College is not the answer, it isn't always the best 5. Slow down & enjoy life, slow your roll
College was a terrible mistake for me. I already had a business and was making money in my 20’s doing something I loved. I’m lucky I was able to attend college and exit with zero debt. But I have NEVER, yet, worked a day in what I studied. 26 years later... I hate my job, most of the time, but it pays well enough to support my values and allows my wife to stay home and raise our children. My advice, acquire skills that pay the bills and do things that you enjoy. Don’t compromise your values, ever.
College is good for experience and learning things to get to your next step be smart about it and make sure to stay physically healthy and fit great time to take up great sports and hobbies and learn outdoors activities to take with you if you didn’t grow up with this already. You can meet some great people
College is amazing. People underestimate how much it can spur your personal growth. But it's not worth it if you go into debt for it. You'll regret that - I know I do. Just remember that you can 100% do college without debt. There are a bunch of ways. And you can always do it later, there is truly no rush.
I loved that last one. I’ve been thinking about that lately. Just turned 29 but I remember just turning 21 like it was yesterday.. Sometimes You have to stop and smell the roses.
I'm 24 and I think you left out one important thing and that is to take time to listen to older more experienced and wiser people. That's why I watch your channel and others like it. Keep up the great content and God bless ✌
Haha fr i juss turned 17 a few days ago and didn't rlly have any major i was really passionate to get into my passion was football but we all know how rare it is to do that professionally and actually have sum serious money coming in so i looked up wat is a good career to go into and i landed on technology so that's what I'm majoring in wish me luck still in the 11th grade hope i chose a good career
I don't think many people realise how important it is for older generations to give advice to the younger ones. These types of video's are actually more helpful than you might think
OK here’s older generation of giving advice to younger generation avoid that marriage scam and live the life you want don’t pay women’s way alimony is clearly a scam
It's a message that needs to get out there. One of mine... Don't try to solve every problem for every person in your life. Most issues seem to work out to not really be issues at all. It was just our initial over reaction due to inexperience.
Very true. Sometimes just acknowledge that a person in your life is having trouble and validate them or recognize that life ain't so easy. You don't need to solve their problems and there's a good chance they don't want the help
I recently clocked 40 and one of my regrets is not starting an investment plan earlier on but it’s better late than never, I’m just going to try my best to make sure my kids start investing at an early age
I’ve been able to stay ahead on inflation and simultaneously build wealth by investing in the financial markets with professional assistance from my fund manager Nigel K. Phineas, earning a monthly income of $65k from my profit returns
@@Gregory_H I contracted Mr Nigel a fund manager who offers investment management services to manage and grow a certain amount of my income by investing them into various market commodities(stocks, forex & crypto’s). Courtesy of his services I’ve acquired ample earnings and knowledge in the course of my investments. Anyone who might require his professional assistance can reach out to him via email;
I am on my 70th trip around this sun and still mountain bike and plan a 7 day hike on the Appalachian Trail this fall and a bike ride from Cincinnati to Cleveland this summer (326 mi). If I had some advice to give myself when I was young it would be do some exercise everyday, always be kind, be thankful for each day no matter what, and trust that God is trying to help you become the best you that you can be if you would quit worrying about the future and live minute to minute.🙏
Thanks for your list, Jeremy! I’m 35 yo and got a few lessons learned. - Be open minded and try new things. - Start saving for retirement early. - Think about the things your passionate about and pursue it. - Give to others... be willing to help.
@@flatearth7800 43, and i stopped drinking 3 years ago. Almost 1 litre of vodka each day. Staying off the booze is easier as time goes on. I don't think about alcohol anymore
@@rohithreddy75 listening to other peoples view of what my life should be. Procrastinating over small things. Not choosing to take care of what matters the most & making them feel second best. And many other things that only a conversation over coffee can I tell.
I’m 33 and boy let me tell you. Time past so damn fast as I’m getting older. A year feels like 6 months. I 100% agreed, college isn’t everything. I’ve learned more in a year, self learning than a whole full 4 years I’ve wasted and getting into debt in college.
@@buddah3418 It does really depends on what you study. I did engineering and I learned so much. I never stopped learning and that's part of the field though. I do agree by the time you turn 30 time goes by faster as you get into a routine of work, and free time habits.
Thats right, we should have taken better care of our body when we were young. Now excuse me while I go light up a cigar and pour me a couple glasses of whisky 💪😜
I’ve done things at jobs I’ve worked when I was in my 20’s that I am in my 30s now and god do I regret not slowing down and being a bit more careful in what I did.
Here’s a few from a 44 year old: No one is coming to save you You die alone so do you boo!! Being alone is amazing Be your best friend Give two chances and that’s it Take people for who they tell you they are Actions speak louder than words :)
For the college part I would say: Go to college when you are ready. It took me few years of working, travelling a little and trying new things to realize and take my time to research what I wanna study. I found a profession that I would have never known about if I rushed to college, it is more niche. I might finish my degree when I turn 30-31 but I am happy I didn't rush. I know people who rushed and they have bachelors degrees and are younger than me but are doing the same job as me and have no idea what they wanna do. People in USA often go to college for fun and the "experience" not really thinking about the future. I have also had chance to save some money and I will be debt free with a degree and basically having a fresh start but it will pay off. Go to college, but invest well, find profession that will pay the debt off.
Everything you said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 too many people do go to college for the “experience” & fun & end up owing thousands in debt. I didn’t go to college & I do NOT regret it
As a “woman of a certain age” (old) I have to throw in a little bit of a brag about my grandson. He is just now graduating from college at the age of 24. The reason why it took him so long is because he worked very hard in between semesters - sometimes taking entire semesters off - so that he could work and pay his tuition. As a result, he is graduating totally debt-free with a sensible (engineering) degree that he will be able to earn a good salary right out the block. Smart young man.
He is spot on about how college is not everything part. This year I dropped out of college and began the real journey of my life. I 100 percent learned more in one year (this year) alone from research and videos then I did 2.5 years in college. Wish I could’ve avoided the lil debt but that’s where failures come in to learn from. I’m just greatful I didn’t wait my whole half of my 20s to graduate and do something Id hate. It’s an amazing feeling to chase success thru UA-cam and entrepreneurship💯 idk how I found this video but as a 22 yr old , lookin at your life I find this helpful and relatable bless up🙏🏾
Currently 22 years old. Started a 401k at 21, investing 6% of every paycheck in Lowes Employee stock purchase plan, and currently going to set up a roth IRA. As well as attaining my bachelors in Business. Hoping it all pays off.
...dont invest that much into 401k. It was never ment to be an investment plan. Invest in other stock assets that have at least a 10% annual return. Have a diverse portfolio. Start this now cuz ppl are itching to go out and spend money they've been saving up during this pandemic. More ppl are going to travel after this pandamic, look into air and hotel stocks. Mor ppl are going eat out after this pandemic cuz they have been stir crazy...invest in resturant stocks. Etc. Look at what ppl did and bought before covid...and invest in that my dood.
28 now, crashed head-on with a truck while I was on a motorcycle at 26 😢 was in a coma for 3 weeks and lost movement to my left arm and leg due to nerve damage to my neck. Lost everything, but I found myself. I would add, read a lot of good books! you mature and learn to think. I recommend the Bible! even if you don't believe in God at the moment. Being Bible literate is important, all kinds of Wisdom, knowledge, history. Helped me a ton, and I probably wouldn't be in this situation if I had gotten to it earlier in life. It really is a Divine Book and you'll be surprised how much others draw from Bible knowledge, like TV shows, music, secular books, etc.
The bible has some crazy ass shit in it. Horrible atrocities. Dont know I'd you read all of it or just chose the good parts lol. Go read finance books. They will help you in the long run and teach you to appreciate and value things.
I’m 27 and Im glad I’ve came across this video. As much as I preach to my self about most of the things you mention and some times I’m rushing instead of just actually enjoying the moment. From one Floridian to another, thank you
I have almost 10 years of college education and an advanced degree that's been instrumental to my career. However, college is definitely not for everyone and I couldn't agree more with your advice. Taking risks and try new things until you find something you enjoy is soooo damn important. Cheers and congrats with your successful channel(s)!
Great advice. agree with each one, but the one thing that resonated alot was how time flies by, & how youre saying years feel like months, im 24 & the months are beggining to just fly by. i cant imagine it keeps getting faster 😅
Yeah you can. The more you allow yourself to be what comes naturally to you, the easier it will become. Don't worry about the haters. Most if not all of them are just pissed they don't have the courage to be free with themselves.
You are spot on with this list...especially the last one. I’m about to turn 41 and also have three kids (15, 11, & 8)...and the time has flown by. I’ve had to remind myself (and continue to remind myself) to slow it down. Thanks for the video!
Ha me too! One thing I wish I did was not listen to others when it came to my future or my personal life. People had good intentions but their advice left lasting consequences.
@@FerventReminder merry xmas, please how would you like to contact me as i cant explain and show you on here, facebook, whatsapp, instagram or zoom, i prefer zoom as i get to meet who im talking to lol, ill leave my details if you want, if your interested im not starting again till the 27th

Jeremy Siers yep at 35 got into management someone took a chance on me !!! 5 years latter had 8 chemical plants reporting into me. Now I fly around the world helping clients start up world scale polyethylene plants. So you’re comments on not having to go to college/university is correct. I will be retiring most likely at 60 full time. So I tell everyone I’ve never owned a car over $30K and save save save. Owning the top of the line everything is just pointless, that money is better in you’re pocket than a sales guys!!!!!
I've definitely noticed how fast time seems to fly by as an adult. Approaching my 30s and the past 5 years seem like they've gone by quicker than the 10 years prior to that!
Jeremy, Hey Brother. All I can say is another Excellent Video; Insightful, Entertaining, and Little to No Woo Woo. As a Man of 48 with a Graying Beard, A Loving Wife and a Growing Daughter, I can relate to All of Your Comments and Content. Thanks as always for sharing your life, hobbies and humor. Much Appreciated, Cheers ❤️🤘🤓🙏🥃❤️ #loveandblessingstoyouall
- They tell you to go to school so you can go to college. - They tell you go to college bc you’ll get a stable job. - You get a stable job and now you work 9 to 5 doing the same thing till you die. What a sad life society has fostered :(
You could also put all your eggs into one passionate career, fail, owe child support/ be a single parent, and spend the rest of your life jumping between entry level jobs and unemployment.
@@ezzymedina8794 for me i wanna live a exciting dangerous life so i’m gonna go to college get my BA then after college i’m gonna be a SEAL then after that it’s where ever life takes me.
i´m in my 20´s and i´m super happy that i watched all those videos and talks on youtube. It tought me about life, happiness and sucess on a wide scale. I learned more in 2 years from youtube, entrepreneurs and sucessful humble people than from 12 years in school tbh. Good Video and thanks for the reminder! Stay woke people!
Hey Jeremy - great video. I’m in my later 50’s and starting to look over the next big hill -retirement ? Agree with most of your points. I have 2 grown up sons and part of what I enjoy is helping them occasionally as young adults. I’m grateful for all that I have and I enjoy helping younger people at work get on a good path like I think I did. I too enjoy WR double - Oaked. God bless!
I'm 25, recently graduated from a 4 year Recreational Therapy program and was in college since I was 18 initially pursuing nursing (before making the switch) because it was what my family wanted. Working about 75 hours bi-weekly and I don't even know if I wanna stay in the Rec Therapy field or move on and go back to school to pursue social work or something else. There are days where I want to bash my head against the wall because I feel like a failure for not having my life more together by this age, but watching this video really helped bring me some peace and made me realize I still have time to figure things out for myself. I made the choice to completely quit drinking about 6 months ago, and quit smoking pot 2 years ago. Feeling all this pressure and anxiety in your 20s can be such a killer. It's really important to stop and smell the roses, recognize the little victories throughout your week, understand you don't have to live to please other people and that no matter how many times you may screw up in your life you are still worthy and enough.
I loved this list, especially the slow down and enjoy one. For me (at age 36), the thing I still struggle with is trying too hard to help every person in my life with every little thing. Sometimes it's okay to say "no" or just to let things work out on their own.
I'm 68 and in my 20's I had grand parents, great aunts and uncles that had lifetimes of knowledge and wisdom for the taking. If only I had taken the time to talk to them.
It’s funny how the “college thing” varies depending on your country. Here in Brazil we have free higher education for those who qualify for public universities through their ranking in the national entrance exam. So whether you go to med school or study philosophy, you will be 100% debt free.
Yeah and many people don't give credit to this, wants to shut down the universities, while, for exemple, they are producing the vaccines to corona virus
Welpp, you are lucky man. Here in my country, college is considered by people is 'only for the rich' , especially like the medical school or the other science shit
There was a dude at the gym the other morning doing curls in the squat rack. At first I was annoyed but noticed he was curling what I was squatting, so I gave him a pass. Just this once. lol
I'm really digging the bar you have in the background! I need a calm lounge place like that in my casa where you can relax, jam out, and just get away from the world for a while... even if it's only minutes
Thank u for being a Good Rolemodel for us Young Youth. I'm currently 24yrs of age and I couldn't have listened to this way Earlier. I needed to hear this Thanks
I’m so glad you said something about college. It feels like us kids are stuck in this delusion of being a failure if we don’t attend, and really all I want to do is art and entrepreneurship stuff.
If you’re anything like me, and the "generic business degree” comment got to you a little bit.. I just wanted to say it’s okay to feel uncertain and pursue a safe option. Life is NOT one size fits all, and not everyone will discover themselves through travel, trade, or risks. - Whoever needs to hear this, you’re doing a good job and it will be okay!
Good stuff! I am in my forties and a lot of this is great. Definitely the don’t be afraid to fail. Just don’t be afraid at all. There is nothing on the other side of fear. Go out and do it. You only get one go around in this life. I will say education is very important. College might not be for everyone but learning is life long. If you don’t get a degree at least get certified or licensed in what you want to do. Society wants that at a minimum. Sad but true. For me, my big thing was starting a UA-cam channel through this pandemic. I have been thinking about it for a while and i decided to start it with my iPhone. I am getting better every day (thanks Jeremy for the tips) and it IS fun. I hope if nothing i can spread some knowledge and have fun along the way!
I'm a couple months shy of turning 30..but within the past few years I really have made a lot of progress taking care of myself. I quit smoking, quit eating fast food, quit drinking pop/energy drinks, and quit drinking alcohol. Water coffee and tea. Been going on 2 years and I feel so much better. At 27 (almost 28) I knew I had to make some changes otherwise I was heading for disaster. That said I have to get back to the gym soon.
Jeremy, I found your channel just a few weeks ago. Being the same age as you, this segment really spoke to me. Especially #5. Prior to this pandemic if I was not moving, I was sleeping. Work (I have an awesome job) and 2 teenage boys in sports left little time for anything else. During 100 days of quarantine the world became very quiet. For the first time in my life I was able to hear my own thoughts and calm what I now know to be chaos. Things once taken for granted have be come trivial. Slowing down gave me new courage and insight to your other 4 items. I have lost 31 lbs since March, started practicing Yoga with my wife, and I have been reading a book a week. I found time to pick up my wood working tools and build again. I also began a deep dive into the exploration of Whiskey and Bourbon. I too have a beard and tattoos, not nearly as epic as yours! Keep doing what you do!
Can't say how much I agree with the "slow down," thought. My teenage years were rough. My 20s, stabilized and fault like they moved faster. Only a couple of years into my 30s, and they feel like they are flying by. Whatever you have going on, good, bad, or otherwise, don't let it pass without notice. Also: Good whiskey selection. Woodford Double-Oaked is always a popular selection at the cigar bar I run...though maybe not as popular as a lot of the Buffalo Trace stuff (BT, Eagle Rare, Blantons, etc.)
I am 23 and I never grew up with a father but I'm glad I found this when I did bc I think this is somthing I needed to hear to get that final push to do what I need and should do thank you
Buckle up. 35 comes quick. Take advantage of that energy you have still. That thing you are putting off, for whatever reason, just do it. And take pictures. Memories really start to feel like treasure.
I have been 5 years out of high school and I can say not going to College was the best decision I have ever made! I would have been depressed an would have dropped out and would have been a waste of money. Creating is my career line! I was playing shows all over Los Angeles growing my band and doing UA-cam on and off now back to it full time! Not going to school gives you the full creative freedom of what you want to do with YOUR life!
I don't mind these types of videos once in a while. They're engaging and insightful. Thanks for all the advice!! BTW, I like the beard and tats even though I don't have both. Sadly.
21 is what you make it. 2020 wasnt bad because I didn't listen to people and lived my life the way I wanted to. Because at the end...strangers don't a shit about you and how you live your life. (...obviously not telling you to do anything illicit...) At the end it's you and your family. :)
I don't know what's up with the UA-cam algorithm lately but it's been recommending me a variety of different channels and topics, which I love because it allows me to find channels like yours. Great content man, keep it up!
I couldn't agree with you more every last word you said is absolutely true. Love the video just send it to my son, I've been trying to explain the same exact thing to him for years. Mom has a different idea so he's in college waste this time not knowing what he wants to do is life. Thanks!
Glad you realized that lol...I cring when I see ppl who are 40+ that think they're still 20. I'm like, my dood...wtf are you trying to prove? At least wait till those mid life crisis years hit you.
I just realized i am 54 and nothing feels much different than half my age. Not sure how to deal with this, am i supposed to act like an old man now ? Social identity did not change for me, can't imagine how that would happen.
Look, that "college isn't the answer" thing is cool for someone that has options, but I don't, my family doesn't have any money to spare, I'm starting from zero with absolutely no financial support from anyone other than myself and what I earn from work, and unfortunately there isn't any trade job out there that interests me. I started college with the intent to take as many math and science courses as I could, of course with my budget I have to take it slow. Earning my associates isn't really a difficult task, community College at worst is still affordable out of pocket. In all honesty the military is an attractive option for someone like me, especially after I earn my associates. I work at a restaurant, I don't want to be stuck at a low skill job like this my entire life. If I had to say one job that I truly desired, it's to be a pilot in the military whether it be the navy or air force, it doesn't really matter to me, but for that I need a degree, it's an officer position.
Just because your parents don’t have money doesn’t mean you have no opportunities. My parents never afforded me any crazy opportunities and never gave me any professional connections in life. I worked many different jobs, met many different people, and created and found many opportunities all on my own. I’ve gone from minimum wage dairy farming, to working in a plumbing union just because of the money, while there I ended up starting a business, left the plumbers union went back to farming, did warehouse work, then worked at UPS for a few years making decent money until now where I own my own business again. And even though I took a risk to do what I’m doing now I’m setting myself up to make the most money I’ve ever made my whole life. I haven’t watched the whole video yet but your comment about your families financial support is what drove me to write this comment. I think maybe he is just saying keep your mind open to different opportunities and don’t get stuck in whatever lane you’re in just because you got a degree. You are even expressing that same sentiment just saying that your degree is just a stepping stone to get where you may really want to be in the military.
I am about to be 23 and I've been suspended from college twice for bad grades. By the time I finish my bachelors I will have been in college for 8 years. I could have gotten an MD by then. Moral of the story. Don't go to college until you're organized and have a plan. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time and money. PLUS! School will always be there, your youth won't. If you have a dream go after it with everything you have. If your friends and family truly care about you they'll be happy if it makes you happy. And if in the end you decide to go back to school you will do it with a lot less stress because you won't have conflicting desires and you'll have more time, money, and life experience.
I am a college professor. I agree with point 4 wholeheartedly. Not every path requires college and other routes have value. Some of my best students are ones who didn't go to college right away; they went military or worked for a while then came to college when it made sense for their career goal advancement. Young, motivated students are wonderful but they are a small portion of the students I see. The confused 18 y/o (most college students) can find their calling in college, but many flounder and rack up debt. Don't go until you have a plan. And absolutely don't go to grad school if there is anything else that will make you happy.
Living my life on my own terms got me single for 13 consecutive years... it's fine if you never want to have a family, but if you do, you better start complying to those pesky norms and listen to those "haters", especially if they keep saying the same thing independently of each other.
@@achille295 It was sarcasm. Obviously having a tattoo sleeve and a beard are nothing too extreme, but the amount of insignificant crap that can get you rejected by a woman is absolutely staggering. Trimming your nose hair for example is relatively hassle-free, but 21 year old me drew the line at having my monobrow or knuckles waxed. 21 year old me also said I'm not willing to put on a fake persona inside or outside just to become likeable for something that isn't me. 34 year old me is doing all that shit and more.
Just came across your channel. I'm pushing 40. And I love some of the YT guys I've found that inspire me. But happy to find a gentleman more my age to keep me on the game.. Much respect! Thanks
I'm one month away from turning 30. One thing I wish that I knew in my early twenties. Life isn't about looks or money. Just buy what you really need to live and enjoy with the rest of what you have. Travel, See new places, meet new people.

There was this guy at work that was making fun of me. I stood up to him and he stop. Later I lost weight, learning investments, and learning stuff that caught my interest.

Much appreciated
College was a terrible mistake for me. I already had a business and was making money in my 20’s doing something I loved. I’m lucky I was able to attend college and exit with zero debt. But I have NEVER, yet, worked a day in what I studied. 26 years later... I hate my job, most of the time, but it pays well enough to support my values and allows my wife to stay home and raise our children. My advice, acquire skills that pay the bills and do things that you enjoy. Don’t compromise your values, ever.
Thank you. He talked as if tomorrow he'd lose his tongue.
"College is not the answer"
Me just getting into college: " Ight imma head out"
He also said to have another Avenue lol, so if you aren’t going to college you have to have another plan to make money and progress
College is good for experience and learning things to get to your next step be smart about it and make sure to stay physically healthy and fit great time to take up great sports and hobbies and learn outdoors activities to take with you if you didn’t grow up with this already. You can meet some great people
College is amazing. People underestimate how much it can spur your personal growth. But it's not worth it if you go into debt for it. You'll regret that - I know I do. Just remember that you can 100% do college without debt. There are a bunch of ways. And you can always do it later, there is truly no rush.

I started a 7 figure business when I was 25. Highschool dropout. I wish I would’ve joined the military when I was 18 though.
I loved that last one. I’ve been thinking about that lately. Just turned 29 but I remember just turning 21 like it was yesterday.. Sometimes You have to stop and smell the roses.
Turn on a blunt and feel how life pauses for a while
Thank you for that small advice. I'm about to be 22 and I'm feeling older realizing that I'm getting out of my teenage years.
What up Thenxxxxxx glad to see you here
@@manuelcalderon5863 turned 23 in November! Most confusing and hard times but slowly and surely growing
@@iheartjbgccb I hope you'll be fine. Love u man.
I'm 24 and I think you left out one important thing and that is to take time to listen to older more experienced and wiser people. That's why I watch your channel and others like it. Keep up the great content and God bless ✌
@@tangocharlie9291 🤣🤣🤣
If your stubborn like me you deserve a kick in the A$$$ listen to older people saves you time and money. No joke
Ayee I’m 24 too. Glad I found this vid and channel
Couldn’t agree more! 👏👏👏👏
All my friends are 2× my age lol and I'm 20
I'm really glad to be listening to you at the age of 17.
See how long you'll retain it XD
I feel the same way at 27

Jeremy Siers: College isn't always best.
Asian parents: We dont do that here.
Lol ditto
Lol you have no idea
Yeah... engineering school is the #1 reason for hating my life but I'm expected to finish my degree no matter what.
Probably get disowned 😅
Haha fr i juss turned 17 a few days ago and didn't rlly have any major i was really passionate to get into my passion was football but we all know how rare it is to do that professionally and actually have sum serious money coming in so i looked up wat is a good career to go into and i landed on technology so that's what I'm majoring in wish me luck still in the 11th grade hope i chose a good career
I don't think many people realise how important it is for older generations to give advice to the younger ones. These types of video's are actually more helpful than you might think
OK here’s older generation of giving advice to younger generation avoid that marriage scam and live the life you want don’t pay women’s way alimony is clearly a scam
“The days are long but the decades are short”
It's a message that needs to get out there. One of mine... Don't try to solve every problem for every person in your life. Most issues seem to work out to not really be issues at all. It was just our initial over reaction due to inexperience.
Very true. Sometimes just acknowledge that a person in your life is having trouble and validate them or recognize that life ain't so easy. You don't need to solve their problems and there's a good chance they don't want the help
I recently clocked 40 and one of my regrets is not starting an investment plan earlier on but it’s better late than never, I’m just going to try my best to make sure my kids start investing at an early age
I’ve been able to stay ahead on inflation and simultaneously build wealth by investing in the financial markets with professional assistance from my fund manager Nigel K. Phineas, earning a monthly income of $65k from my profit returns
I support the idea of investments partly because these are times when investments has really become the prior task for achieving actual success
@@SeatonH Hi,that’s a pretty cool amount to be earning every month how do you make such i’d like if you could recommend some positive approach to this
@@Gregory_H I contracted Mr Nigel a fund manager who offers investment management services to manage and grow a certain amount of my income by investing them into various market commodities(stocks, forex & crypto’s). Courtesy of his services I’ve acquired ample earnings and knowledge in the course of my investments. Anyone who might require his professional assistance can reach out to him via email;

I am on my 70th trip around this sun and still mountain bike and plan a 7 day hike on the Appalachian Trail this fall and a bike ride from Cincinnati to Cleveland this summer (326 mi).
If I had some advice to give myself when I was young it would be do some exercise everyday, always be kind, be thankful for each day no matter what, and trust that God is trying to help you become the best you that you can be if you would quit worrying about the future and live minute to minute.🙏
/respect!
Respect brother
Thanks for your list, Jeremy! I’m 35 yo and got a few lessons learned.
- Be open minded and try new things.
- Start saving for retirement early.
- Think about the things your passionate about and pursue it.
- Give to others... be willing to help.
I’m a 25yo alcoholic so thanks for the kick in the arse I needed it

😎 BOOM!
and what were your mistakes?
@@rohithreddy75 listening to other peoples view of what my life should be.
Procrastinating over small things.
Not choosing to take care of what matters the most & making them feel second best.
And many other things that only a conversation over coffee can I tell.
I’m 33 and boy let me tell you. Time past so damn fast as I’m getting older. A year feels like 6 months. I 100% agreed, college isn’t everything. I’ve learned more in a year, self learning than a whole full 4 years I’ve wasted and getting into debt in college.
What did you study?
@@buddah3418 It does really depends on what you study. I did engineering and I learned so much. I never stopped learning and that's part of the field though. I do agree by the time you turn 30 time goes by faster as you get into a routine of work, and free time habits.
I’m 33 too. Will be 34.
turning 33 next week.. feels like 2020 just passed by like a month 😅
Yep same here
Self-care is so important when we are young so we can enjoy our later years
Thats right, we should have taken better care of our body when we were young. Now excuse me while I go light up a cigar and pour me a couple glasses of whisky 💪😜
I’ve done things at jobs I’ve worked when I was in my 20’s that I am in my 30s now and god do I regret not slowing down and being a bit more careful in what I did.
@ll Savage Butcher ll Feel you bro, worked out hard from 14-21 before I got diagnosed with type 2...

For the college part I would say: Go to college when you are ready. It took me few years of working, travelling a little and trying new things to realize and take my time to research what I wanna study. I found a profession that I would have never known about if I rushed to college, it is more niche. I might finish my degree when I turn 30-31 but I am happy I didn't rush. I know people who rushed and they have bachelors degrees and are younger than me but are doing the same job as me and have no idea what they wanna do. People in USA often go to college for fun and the "experience" not really thinking about the future.
I have also had chance to save some money and I will be debt free with a degree and basically having a fresh start but it will pay off. Go to college, but invest well, find profession that will pay the debt off.
This gave me such an amazing perspective thank you!
Everything you said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 too many people do go to college for the “experience” & fun & end up owing thousands in debt. I didn’t go to college & I do NOT regret it
As a “woman of a certain age” (old) I have to throw in a little bit of a brag about my grandson. He is just now graduating from college at the age of 24. The reason why it took him so long is because he worked very hard in between semesters - sometimes taking entire semesters off - so that he could work and pay his tuition. As a result, he is graduating totally debt-free with a sensible (engineering) degree that he will be able to earn a good salary right out the block. Smart young man.
good for him
That’s awesome!!! 😊👍🏻
24 is not bad at all! He is smart man to pay debt as soon as possible
vegasrenie No age is old enough to graduate in anything in life. It’s never too late. Always do things to improve your life don’t let age scare you
BEST COMMENT EVER!!!!!!
Im currently in my late 20s and I wish I would’ve learned to not be ashamed of what I like. Would’ve made life so much less stressful
He is spot on about how college is not everything part. This year I dropped out of college and began the real journey of my life. I 100 percent learned more in one year (this year) alone from research and videos then I did 2.5 years in college. Wish I could’ve avoided the lil debt but that’s where failures come in to learn from. I’m just greatful I didn’t wait my whole half of my 20s to graduate and do something Id hate. It’s an amazing feeling to chase success thru UA-cam and entrepreneurship💯 idk how I found this video but as a 22 yr old , lookin at your life I find this helpful and relatable bless up🙏🏾
What are you doing now do increase your net wealth tomorrow?
Same here man! I dropped out of college this year too except I’m 20 years old almost 21. I’ll start vocational school in the fall.
Currently 22 years old. Started a 401k at 21, investing 6% of every paycheck in Lowes Employee stock purchase plan, and currently going to set up a roth IRA. As well as attaining my bachelors in Business. Hoping it all pays off.
Trust the process
Start investing into and holding crypto.
I agree with lunchbox, at the very least start researching about crypto and considering holding long term for crypto
Interesting
...dont invest that much into 401k. It was never ment to be an investment plan. Invest in other stock assets that have at least a 10% annual return. Have a diverse portfolio.
Start this now cuz ppl are itching to go out and spend money they've been saving up during this pandemic. More ppl are going to travel after this pandamic, look into air and hotel stocks. Mor ppl are going eat out after this pandemic cuz they have been stir crazy...invest in resturant stocks. Etc. Look at what ppl did and bought before covid...and invest in that my dood.
28 now, crashed head-on with a truck while I was on a motorcycle at 26 😢 was in a coma for 3 weeks and lost movement to my left arm and leg due to nerve damage to my neck. Lost everything, but I found myself. I would add, read a lot of good books! you mature and learn to think. I recommend the Bible! even if you don't believe in God at the moment. Being Bible literate is important, all kinds of Wisdom, knowledge, history. Helped me a ton, and I probably wouldn't be in this situation if I had gotten to it earlier in life. It really is a Divine Book and you'll be surprised how much others draw from Bible knowledge, like TV shows, music, secular books, etc.
Bible is truth 💯 wisdom for dominion check out that channel

You forgot - investing. Open a Vanguard retirement date acct.
I have almost 10 years of college education and an advanced degree that's been instrumental to my career. However, college is definitely not for everyone and I couldn't agree more with your advice. Taking risks and try new things until you find something you enjoy is soooo damn important. Cheers and congrats with your successful channel(s)!

*College is not the answer*
Me, on my last semester of college: *Ight imma head out*
My advice is: Set small goals and afterwards escalate them.
Literally 99% won’t see this but if ya do, God Bless You, Stay Safe and Have a wonderful Day 🙇🏽♂️
Appreciate you. Love you
Great advice. agree with each one, but the one thing that resonated alot was how time flies by, & how youre saying years feel like months, im 24 & the months are beggining to just fly by. i cant imagine it keeps getting faster 😅
Crap Jeremy, I just turned 65 and can’t remember my 20’s!
😂
Try 73 and barely recall my 40s..!
Man being comfortable in my own skin and being truly happy with myself, by myself, and for myself is so hard. I feel like I just cannot do it.
Yeah you can. The more you allow yourself to be what comes naturally to you, the easier it will become. Don't worry about the haters. Most if not all of them are just pissed they don't have the courage to be free with themselves.
Sir, you're a youngin'! I'm 54! I should do a video "5 Things I Wish I knew When I was in my 40's".
You are spot on with this list...especially the last one. I’m about to turn 41 and also have three kids (15, 11, & 8)...and the time has flown by. I’ve had to remind myself (and continue to remind myself) to slow it down. Thanks for the video!

Man im 42, fixin to be 43 in June. Wished I learned about this in my 20's myself. Great vid man.

Dude! You have accomplished a lot in 50 years! Keep after it brotha!! 🤜🏻🤛🏻
Jeremy Siers yep at 35 got into management someone took a chance on me !!! 5 years latter had 8 chemical plants reporting into me. Now I fly around the world helping clients start up world scale polyethylene plants. So you’re comments on not having to go to college/university is correct. I will be retiring most likely at 60 full time. So I tell everyone I’ve never owned a car over $30K and save save save. Owning the top of the line everything is just pointless, that money is better in you’re pocket than a sales guys!!!!!
Thanks for helping out during the war I thankfully wasnt born before it but have heard and learned about a lot of horrible things.
@@colingoldthorpe5918 Aye, the biggest mistake any young man can ever make is to live beyond your means.

I wish i knew about mutual funds and ROTH IRA when i was in my 20's
I'm glad my parents told me to do that in my early 20s!
Also covid was an incredible time to start investing
Mutual funds=no bueno. Low cost index funds=Bueno
Luckily, I learned about stocks and bonds and just investing in general before my 20’s. I had to teach myself but it was such a great decision.
Basically weren't around when I was in my 20's. There were a few, but not close to now.

- They tell you to go to school so you can go to college.
- They tell you go to college bc you’ll get a stable job.
- You get a stable job and now you work 9 to 5 doing the same thing till you die.
What a sad life society has fostered :(
If you want a different life. Be different. Hence don't just browse the internet all your free time. Be productive.
You could also put all your eggs into one passionate career, fail, owe child support/ be a single parent, and spend the rest of your life jumping between entry level jobs and unemployment.

Down the rabbit hole of UA-cam recommendations, I find this gem. Great stuff.
i´m in my 20´s and i´m super happy that i watched all those videos and talks
on youtube. It tought me about life, happiness and sucess on a wide scale.
I learned more in 2 years from youtube, entrepreneurs and sucessful humble people than from 12 years in school tbh.
Good Video and thanks for the reminder! Stay woke people!
You look like Peter McKinnon’s older brother 😂
I always wondered if they are related.
For real though!!😂
For real😂
I am jumping into UA-cam, doing a walk channel . I'm 57 so you are a still a youngster bro! Love what you do - it's slick and sincere.
Hey Jeremy - great video. I’m in my later 50’s and starting to look over the next big hill -retirement ? Agree with most of your points. I have 2 grown up sons and part of what I enjoy is helping them occasionally as young adults. I’m grateful for all that I have and I enjoy helping younger people at work get on a good path like I think I did. I too enjoy WR double - Oaked. God bless!
I'm 25, recently graduated from a 4 year Recreational Therapy program and was in college since I was 18 initially pursuing nursing (before making the switch) because it was what my family wanted. Working about 75 hours bi-weekly and I don't even know if I wanna stay in the Rec Therapy field or move on and go back to school to pursue social work or something else. There are days where I want to bash my head against the wall because I feel like a failure for not having my life more together by this age, but watching this video really helped bring me some peace and made me realize I still have time to figure things out for myself. I made the choice to completely quit drinking about 6 months ago, and quit smoking pot 2 years ago. Feeling all this pressure and anxiety in your 20s can be such a killer. It's really important to stop and smell the roses, recognize the little victories throughout your week, understand you don't have to live to please other people and that no matter how many times you may screw up in your life you are still worthy and enough.
I loved this list, especially the slow down and enjoy one. For me (at age 36), the thing I still struggle with is trying too hard to help every person in my life with every little thing. Sometimes it's okay to say "no" or just to let things work out on their own.
I'm 68 and in my 20's I had grand parents, great aunts and uncles that had lifetimes of knowledge and wisdom for the taking. If only I had taken the time to talk to them.
It’s funny how the “college thing” varies depending on your country. Here in Brazil we have free higher education for those who qualify for public universities through their ranking in the national entrance exam. So whether you go to med school or study philosophy, you will be 100% debt free.
Yeah and many people don't give credit to this, wants to shut down the universities, while, for exemple, they are producing the vaccines to corona virus
Welpp, you are lucky man. Here in my country, college is considered by people is 'only for the rich' , especially like the medical school or the other science shit
Must be nice
Yea, here in Poland almost everyone goes to college. It is easier to find a job.

hi fellow indo
He's speaking facts here I hope anybody 25 and younger is taking notes.
We want a “5 Things I wish I knew in my 30’s” Video. Thank you ✌🏻
If you’re anything like me, and the "generic business degree” comment got to you a little bit.. I just wanted to say it’s okay to feel uncertain and pursue a safe option. Life is NOT one size fits all, and not everyone will discover themselves through travel, trade, or risks. - Whoever needs to hear this, you’re doing a good job and it will be okay!
Good stuff! I am in my forties and a lot of this is great. Definitely the don’t be afraid to fail. Just don’t be afraid at all. There is nothing on the other side of fear. Go out and do it. You only get one go around in this life. I will say education is very important. College might not be for everyone but learning is life long. If you don’t get a degree at least get certified or licensed in what you want to do. Society wants that at a minimum. Sad but true. For me, my big thing was starting a UA-cam channel through this pandemic. I have been thinking about it for a while and i decided to start it with my iPhone. I am getting better every day (thanks Jeremy for the tips) and it IS fun. I hope if nothing i can spread some knowledge and have fun along the way!
I'm a couple months shy of turning 30..but within the past few years I really have made a lot of progress taking care of myself. I quit smoking, quit eating fast food, quit drinking pop/energy drinks, and quit drinking alcohol. Water coffee and tea. Been going on 2 years and I feel so much better. At 27 (almost 28) I knew I had to make some changes otherwise I was heading for disaster. That said I have to get back to the gym soon.
You just put out a great video for young people. I'm 70 and find everything you said to be good advice for life.
I'm 38 and I finally realize I need to take #1 seriously.
Jeremy, I found your channel just a few weeks ago. Being the same age as you, this segment really spoke to me. Especially #5. Prior to this pandemic if I was not moving, I was sleeping. Work (I have an awesome job) and 2 teenage boys in sports left little time for anything else. During 100 days of quarantine the world became very quiet. For the first time in my life I was able to hear my own thoughts and calm what I now know to be chaos. Things once taken for granted have be come trivial. Slowing down gave me new courage and insight to your other 4 items. I have lost 31 lbs since March, started practicing Yoga with my wife, and I have been reading a book a week. I found time to pick up my wood working tools and build again. I also began a deep dive into the exploration of Whiskey and Bourbon. I too have a beard and tattoos, not nearly as epic as yours! Keep doing what you do!
Can't say how much I agree with the "slow down," thought. My teenage years were rough. My 20s, stabilized and fault like they moved faster. Only a couple of years into my 30s, and they feel like they are flying by. Whatever you have going on, good, bad, or otherwise, don't let it pass without notice.
Also: Good whiskey selection. Woodford Double-Oaked is always a popular selection at the cigar bar I run...though maybe not as popular as a lot of the Buffalo Trace stuff (BT, Eagle Rare, Blantons, etc.)
I am 23 and I never grew up with a father but I'm glad I found this when I did bc I think this is somthing I needed to hear to get that final push to do what I need and should do thank you
All the people I got a chance to talk to who are 40 + have told me wise things like you man, and it’s so true
You can't underestimate taking care of yourself when you're in your 20s. I'm almost 40 and being healthy adds years to your life 👍
Who's in their 20s? 🙋I'm 27!
I tuned 30 years old a few days ago 😭

Buckle up. 35 comes quick. Take advantage of that energy you have still. That thing you are putting off, for whatever reason, just do it. And take pictures. Memories really start to feel like treasure.

@Oliver Leventis Ne zhnaio, chto tbl govoraete... a chya eto yizyuk?
I have been 5 years out of high school and I can say not going to College was the best decision I have ever made! I would have been depressed an would have dropped out and would have been a waste of money. Creating is my career line! I was playing shows all over Los Angeles growing my band and doing UA-cam on and off now back to it full time! Not going to school gives you the full creative freedom of what you want to do with YOUR life!
I love your authenticity! I am 21 and this has been helpful as a confirmation that my blackship lifestyle choices are not that crazy 😬🤍
I don't mind these types of videos once in a while. They're engaging and insightful. Thanks for all the advice!! BTW, I like the beard and tats even though I don't have both. Sadly.
Heads up corona doesn’t pass in the summer. 21 still sucks
21 is what you make it. 2020 wasnt bad because I didn't listen to people and lived my life the way I wanted to. Because at the end...strangers don't a shit about you and how you live your life. (...obviously not telling you to do anything illicit...) At the end it's you and your family. :)
Your twenty’s are for acting like a twenty year old. Save some money and eat healthy, but other than that enjoy the ride
I don't know what's up with the UA-cam algorithm lately but it's been recommending me a variety of different channels and topics, which I love because it allows me to find channels like yours. Great content man, keep it up!
I enjoyed thoroughly your philosophising! I am 41 this year and I agree: time flies as you get older.
I couldn't agree with you more every last word you said is absolutely true. Love the video just send it to my son, I've been trying to explain the same exact thing to him for years. Mom has a different idea so he's in college waste this time not knowing what he wants to do is life. Thanks!
I just realized I’m 30 and no longer in my 20’s 😅
Twenty-eight, twenty-nine, twenty...ten?
At least it’s early 30’s!
Glad you realized that lol...I cring when I see ppl who are 40+ that think they're still 20. I'm like, my dood...wtf are you trying to prove? At least wait till those mid life crisis years hit you.
I just realized i am 54 and nothing feels much different than half my age. Not sure how to deal with this, am i supposed to act like an old man now ? Social identity did not change for me, can't imagine how that would happen.
@@snorrevonflake 54 is old to you? I'm glad you realize you're 54 and not 24 lol. I'm sure you acted completely different at 24 then you do at 54.
Look, that "college isn't the answer" thing is cool for someone that has options, but I don't, my family doesn't have any money to spare, I'm starting from zero with absolutely no financial support from anyone other than myself and what I earn from work, and unfortunately there isn't any trade job out there that interests me. I started college with the intent to take as many math and science courses as I could, of course with my budget I have to take it slow. Earning my associates isn't really a difficult task, community College at worst is still affordable out of pocket. In all honesty the military is an attractive option for someone like me, especially after I earn my associates. I work at a restaurant, I don't want to be stuck at a low skill job like this my entire life. If I had to say one job that I truly desired, it's to be a pilot in the military whether it be the navy or air force, it doesn't really matter to me, but for that I need a degree, it's an officer position.
Just because your parents don’t have money doesn’t mean you have no opportunities. My parents never afforded me any crazy opportunities and never gave me any professional connections in life. I worked many different jobs, met many different people, and created and found many opportunities all on my own. I’ve gone from minimum wage dairy farming, to working in a plumbing union just because of the money, while there I ended up starting a business, left the plumbers union went back to farming, did warehouse work, then worked at UPS for a few years making decent money until now where I own my own business again. And even though I took a risk to do what I’m doing now I’m setting myself up to make the most money I’ve ever made my whole life. I haven’t watched the whole video yet but your comment about your families financial support is what drove me to write this comment. I think maybe he is just saying keep your mind open to different opportunities and don’t get stuck in whatever lane you’re in just because you got a degree. You are even expressing that same sentiment just saying that your degree is just a stepping stone to get where you may really want to be in the military.
@@kickcloudstv opportunities are not always handed to you, at least in my case, therefore you must make your own.
I am about to be 23 and I've been suspended from college twice for bad grades. By the time I finish my bachelors I will have been in college for 8 years. I could have gotten an MD by then. Moral of the story. Don't go to college until you're organized and have a plan. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time and money. PLUS! School will always be there, your youth won't. If you have a dream go after it with everything you have. If your friends and family truly care about you they'll be happy if it makes you happy. And if in the end you decide to go back to school you will do it with a lot less stress because you won't have conflicting desires and you'll have more time, money, and life experience.
I am a college professor. I agree with point 4 wholeheartedly. Not every path requires college and other routes have value. Some of my best students are ones who didn't go to college right away; they went military or worked for a while then came to college when it made sense for their career goal advancement. Young, motivated students are wonderful but they are a small portion of the students I see. The confused 18 y/o (most college students) can find their calling in college, but many flounder and rack up debt. Don't go until you have a plan. And absolutely don't go to grad school if there is anything else that will make you happy.
Living my life on my own terms got me single for 13 consecutive years... it's fine if you never want to have a family, but if you do, you better start complying to those pesky norms and listen to those "haters", especially if they keep saying the same thing independently of each other.
Smart pointer, to a point. The main thing is balance
what pesky norms do you mean?
I dont think you quite get the point.
@@achille295 It was sarcasm. Obviously having a tattoo sleeve and a beard are nothing too extreme, but the amount of insignificant crap that can get you rejected by a woman is absolutely staggering. Trimming your nose hair for example is relatively hassle-free, but 21 year old me drew the line at having my monobrow or knuckles waxed. 21 year old me also said I'm not willing to put on a fake persona inside or outside just to become likeable for something that isn't me. 34 year old me is doing all that shit and more.
This is true im on the verge of 20 and just started doing cardio. Best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i can get you 1-1.5% a day interest, no joking, just ask how?
We need more prominent father figures like him in the world
Just came across your channel. I'm pushing 40. And I love some of the YT guys I've found that inspire me. But happy to find a gentleman more my age to keep me on the game..
Much respect! Thanks
I'm one month away from turning 30.
One thing I wish that I knew in my early twenties. Life isn't about looks or money. Just buy what you really need to live and enjoy with the rest of what you have.
