Original Video by Andre Jikh: • How Much Money You Sho...
By 20 Year Olds:
First, go and get yourself a credit card.
Second, make sure you also open up a Roth IRA.
Third, I would aim to have 1-2 MONTHS of expenses saved up.
Fourth, get yourself invested in the markets in some way or another.
So, overall…by 20 years old, there aren’t really many NET WORTH or SAVINGS goals you should aim to hit…but, instead, it’s just about setting up a good foundation from which you can build from.
By 30 Years Olds:
First: You’ll want to have at LEAST a credit score of 750 or higher.
Second: I’d recommend you become COMPLETELY BAD-DEBT FREE by the time you’re 30.
Third, because everyone wants to know “HOW MUCH MONEY SHOULD I HAVE!!” - I kind of agree with the 1x your salary as a bit of a baseline to aim for.
And fourth - I think by 30, it’s reasonable to suggest that you aim to save at least 20% of your income every month.
By 40 Year Olds:
First, you should focus on MAXING OUT YOUR RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS EVERY YEAR.
Second, you should also look into potentially BUYING A HOUSE if this is something you’re interested in.
Third, by 40, you should know EXACTLY how much you spend every single month - and have AT LEAST 5-7X your annual spending invested.
By 50 Years Old:
First: I think having 5x your annual income saved up is a good goal - but, if you can get this closer to 7x or higher, I think that’ll put you in a much stronger position for retirement.
Second: Depending on your situation, you should be about halfway through paying off the mortgage on your primary residence.
Third: You should also have a VERY clear idea of how much you’ll need in retirement, and when you plan to retire - and that needs to be calculated, NOW.
By 60 Years Old:
First: You’ll want to aim for at least 10-12x your salary saved up.
Second, I think it’ll also be wise to have almost paid off your primary residence by now - so, if you haven’t already done this, you’re getting close.
Third: It’s usually said that this is where your earnings will have somewhat peaked - so, if you’re in the highest earning years of your life, now is the time to save as much as you possibly can with the income you have.
Fourth: If you want to, NOW is the time where you can begin withdrawing from your retirement accounts without any penalties.
And really, from there …the rest is up to you, and those are the goals that I think you should aim to hit in every decade. Obviously, this is only going to be a rough ballpark and some people may be way ahead of this or way behind this - but, that’s not important - it’s more important to realize that NOW is the best time to begin working towards these goals. It’s all about starting this as soon as you can, even if you’re behind, and then working within your means to understand what you need to do to reach your future goals.

ha ha . I am 71 and began investing at 34. Make your investing fun. Consider it a hobby. An experiment.
MEEE!! except I'm 15 LOL
24 and I’m feeling it
I've just begun investing at 19. Want to start good habits early!
awesome video We all aspire to financial security and a better quality of life. With the correct investment, modest lifestyle, and planning, accomplishing this is not difficult. I'm pleased I was taught to work hard for financial independence at a young age.
My belief is that making a wise investment is a fantastic way to save money for the future as well as a way to generate passive income. Those who make poor mistakes early in life regret them later in life. Yet, investing can be challenging and dangerous if done alone. For this reason, I suggest getting professional assistance (financial advisors). The problem is effectively applying it, not merely watching videos and reading investing books.
@@Brittany-reeds Sincerely, I'm genuinely moved by what you said. I have a sizable amount of money that I am willing to invest if given the appropriate knowledge and I am highly interested in investing. My greatest concern is losing money on a bad investment. I'm open to hearing your advice on how to make sensible investments as a result.
@@Victoriataylor5668 As an OAP with extensive experience, I firmly think that having the appropriate information is essential to the success of any investment. Regardless of what others may say, do whatever you set your mind to. Warren Buffer frequently advises, "Be fearful when others are greedy, and greedy when others are fearful." The secret to succeeding even while others fail is undoubtedly this. Working with financial advisor ALICE ELAINE HAYHURST, I earned $100,000. So far, working with her has been a promising experience.
@@Brittany-reeds Please, how do I connect with your financial planner?
@@Victoriataylor5668 quickly do a web check where you can connect with her, and do your research with her full names mentioned..

Just buy meat, make jerky out of it and vacuum seal it with O2 absorbers and stick it in the fridge (to prevent botulism). Meat's gone up around 35% in just a few months, so by 2021, it'll probably be 3,000 dollars for a slice of steak.

Isiah Careful with your words. The IRA is a terrorist organisation in Ireland which fought the British for independence and freedom.
The retirement fund that my husband and I have built up is doing quite nicely. The majority of the money, which averaged roughly $2 million, was made by taking advantage of the opportunity to purchase luxury stocks at a significant discount during the Great Recession. 2009 saw my stockbroker fired, all of my mutual funds liquidated, and I purchase individual dividend stocks. You can succeed if you are patient, don't panic, and do your homework.
Also, Stay in touch with an Investment-Adviser. Based on firsthand encounter, I can say for certain their skillsets are topnotch, I've raised more than a million since 2021. Just bought my 3rd property for rental. Credit to Brianna Mckee Harris.. my Investment-Adviser. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like

Great Video Mav! Maybe make a video on potential investments in this current market that would fetch substantial profit, been coming across articles on bloomberg, business insider etc about folks raking in $200K averagely in 6weeks using some sophisticated strategy and I'd love to know how.
There are actually a lot of ways to make high yields in a crisis, but such trades are best done under the supervision of Financial advisor.
Thats true, I've been getting assisted by a FA for almost a year now, I started out with less than $200K and I'm just $19,000 short of half a million in profit.
@Dan Brooks My advisor is ‘’Christine Jane Mclean’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further.

@@thepersonbehindelonmusksuc1634 keep watching these types of videos, trust me
i am 46, and only started about a year ago or two to really care about my savings . I had been doing "normal" things that most of us people do, buying too much car, spending small amounts (but many times) on very silly things and so on . So now I have a bit over a year worth of salary saved in cash, and i feel so much better than when i had virtually zero in my bank accounts . But it hurts me very much to think that had i started 20 years ago, i would have been in a much different position right now . But hey, better late than never !
Yep better now than never
I had to start over at 48, and in 12 years managed to get $450k in savings, paid off all bills (including kids' college) and my house is owed less than 8k. It can be done! good luck!
@@e-spy damn , that’s a lot of saving power in 12 years . I am trying to grow my side jobs to increase the income flow but I would not be able to save as much as you did . If I do a great job I might save 15k (euro) to 20k a year . But that’s enough for me . You did an amazing job .
@@albertobenelli Thanks, but keep in mind the market was doing really well the last 10 years. Most made at least 15%, but I did pay attention and got around 45% on average. I saved 25% of my salary for investments, another 25% into savings. The rest went to pay down debt, so I bought nothing. My car is 18 years old, for example, but runs great. I knew I had to get it together if I ever wanted to retire. The sacrifice was worth it, though I now have a reputation for being too frugal, lol.
@@e-spy I think you did an amazing job and pesce of mind has no value . I have to say my savings are now growing at an exponential rate so i might be surprised by how much I might save in the next 10-15 years . After a very strict beginning now I decided to let go every now and than to spend some extra money on a nice night out with friends or with my daughter . If a month I save a bit less than average, I save more the following month . It must not become an obsession either . Thank you for sharing your experience . I wish you a good day .
According to my Adviser; *Investing for Retirement is better than Saving for Retirement.*
What I think you need is a Financial Adviser, who can help you get in and out of any investment at any time and you'd sure be in Profit
*Teresa Jensen White,* That's whom i work with
I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits learning and investing with her for a few months now.
Teresa Jensen White is one of the best mentor/trader I have ever worked with in the past few years, she knows how best to deal with whatever market situation.
No she's not!... UA-cam is a public place; i can't drop her information here but You can just put her name on google and you will be directed to her website and drop her your message.

Fellow 15 year old Graham viewer and finance nerd here 👍
12:00 I think every 20 year old needs to hear that! It's so insanely eye-opening. Thank you for making financial topics intersting Graham
I find myself at a crossroads, uncertain whether to liquidate my $150,000 stock portfolio. I'm seeking advice on the best strategy to capitalize on this current market.
Very true. Despite having no prior investing knowledge, I started investing before the pandemic and pulled in a profit of approximately $950k that same year. In reality, all I was doing was getting professional advice.
I’ve been looking to switch to an advisor for a while now. Any help pointing me to who your advisor is?
There are a lot of independent advisors you might look into. But i work with Nicole Desiree Simon, and she is excellent. You could proceed with her if she satisfies your discretion. I endorse her
I just checked her up online, and I must admit that she has an extremely outstanding experience in investment. Thanks for sharing. I'm going to send her an email right away
Realized I don't have 1x my annual salary saved up so I just quit my job and now I'm an overachiever.
This is the way
Graham should do a poll to see how his audience compares to the average!!
That sounds fun!!:) Totally agree
Yes
What percentage at what age..2%?
Agreed
UA-cam just got rid of polls on videos 😔
I was 17 working ToGo orders at a Texas Roadhouse during the summer of the pandemic and the tips were really good, I also hardly spent money since everything was still restricted and I lived at home. I focused on my schoolwork as well, fast forward at 19 I currently have 18k in savings and will have no student loans since my merit scholarships cover tuition (in school for nursing). I’m paying rent with a roommate right now, but hopefully next year I can find my own place to share with my partner! My goal right now is to start saving into a Roth IRA account, and build credit!
good job! I've got 11k saved up rn at 18. I'm planning on making a ROTH IRA with vanguard
If u are a refuring to a partner as a woman, DON'T. Every experience I have EVER seen in the last 20 years puts them in the cost side. Women are not built how the were 30 years ago.
Please don’t live with a “partner” depending on the outcome, you could lose half of what you worked so hard to earn 😕
Women are expensive and they generally do not know the value of savings. They are here just to have fun so make sure she’s the right one.
a little update and clarification: I am the woman in my relationship and my partner is my boyfriend, who is in school for mechanical engineering. I decided to pursue two degrees since my merit scholarships cover all of my tuition and I thought 'why not.' I have a little over 19k saved now, some in investments as well, and a credit score in the 'very good' category. We are planning to wait to live together since it is very expensive in my city and we are on the younger side, but we are overall still going very strong
This is cute, but most of us are here at age 30+ because we were absolute morons with our money in our 20s 🤣
Lol yup I’m 31 and burly gettin out of debt and less that $2,000 in saving
Yeppppp lol 34 here
I have a lot saved but little invested. Am an idiot.
Guess I’m going places I’m 19 have 15k invested and 5k in my bank act and I’m stressing balls worried what I want to do with my life just working till I get a idea haha
15
Gram : the average is -27,000
My exact debt: 27,000 👀.
Well 50% of people are worse off than you so you got that goin
Well the -$27,000 is net worth not debt, so if you own literally anything you have a higher net worth than that.
Given that only 41% of people enroll in college, and the average also includes all the people who didn't go to college, so it sounds like you're doing pretty well (if you went to college)
You're just an average guy.

I save at least 50% of the money I earn every month. It is very easy when you are over thirty years old and you still live with your parents.
Are you happy tho?
F in the chat but also what a chad
Same here but I am moving out next month. So I am going to be broke :(
Lol I'm 25 but the same situation. Saving about 2/3 of my monthly income ($3,200) and investing consistently, but there's really no shame in it. You're doing the right thing by living at home as long as you aren't too much of a burden on your parents. Times are different, there's really no reason to move out in your early 20's if it means you'll be burdened by rent or even mortgage payments. In my opinion (depending on how much you're earning) buying property isn't always the best move if it means most of your paycheque will be going directly to home equity and interest. It could easily inhibit your ability to build multiple streams of income if you make that leap too early.
Ah so you’re the rich kid a school who’s parents will pay form them
There’s a show called the “money guy show”, they’ve been covering this for a few years now. They even mention you a couple of times, (they see you as a great mentor). But their numbers by age are higher and always mention the power of compound interest, so $1 spent as a 20 year old is $80 wasted when you turn 60. You should check them out.
Just turned 20 and have been stressing so hard recently just hearing that I’m in an actually decent place puts me a bit more at ease

If they taught this in high school, we’d have a lot more STEM majors.
What is to teach BASIC MATH taught in grade 4.
Why, there aren't enough now? They already want to do away with liberal arts majors because most people are going into STEM.
It doesn't really work like that.
That’s not really how it works. Just because you have a Stem degree doesn’t mean it’s easier to get a job or that you’ll make a lot of money. Some of these career fields have too many people compared to the amount of jobs

*laughs in Creole* 🤣
So you're telling me I'm richer than most 20-year-olds and I'm 14 and don't even have 1k. I feel very special.
Save like crazy while you’re young kiddo, and if you plan on going to college, apply to scholarships like it’s your job. Good luck
Get a job dog, get ahead of the curve. You could easily have enough for a 20% down payment on a house by 18 if you spend minimally and work the legal limit (or a full-time side hustle)
Anyone here know if weeble is actually any good?
Hey, Alice! Can you play Croquet?

As a 14 year old with more money than most 30 year olds, I know how you feel!
I’m 17 and when I finish my apprenticeship when I’m 20 I’ll have 0 student debt and a good income, I never realised im ahead of the curve
NICE!!
@@GrahamStephan I love ur vids, u don’t know how many people u help with their lives with ur vids, good luck with your Career in the future ahead
Awesome video, I feel like I am late to the party at 23 but after reading these comments I feel that I found this video at the perfect time! A common trend I am seeing is that spending recklessly in your 20's can destroy your whole future.
My relationship with money has changed since I found this channel. Thanks for your videos Graham
so happy to hear!
My only complain is that I didn’t find you sooner. Crazy how within just a few videos my mind set has changed in the way I view things. I would always blame school and parents for not teaching us the things we really needed to learn. However as an adult is our responsibility to go out and learn it. Thank you for all the advice you have shared with us.
Very informative video. I appreciate all of the time you put into this video!
This is by far one of your greatest videos ever Graham
My family and I are first generation immigrants. My parents never taught us about investing, little about savings. It was about survival for us for a long time. I wish I knew about all of this a decade ago so that I could have planned and started. But your channel is opening up a lot of opportunities and new goals for me Graham. Thank you!
Same, bro
yesterday was the best time to start, but today is the second-best time :)
"It's absolutely doable to do"
It’s as easy as smashing the like button. 👍
Lies.
Hello, this is the redundancy department of redundancy
Could be achievable to achive lol
Yep, absolutely doable. But takes knowledge, perseverance, sacrifice and luck. Also, having time on your side (meaning having more time the better) is a huge plus.
Great video, thanks Graham!
After seeing friends make thousands on $GMe, i found myself binging all your old videos (watched before, but obviously not that seriously). I'm enjoying these even more and hope to make bigger savings, and also to start finally investing. (most likely index funds like you recommend). Thanks for all the great content, and teaching us things our schools and parents have not!
I’m nearly sixteen and so glad that you’re making these videos! Even though I’m young I think it’s absolutely essential to figure all this out now so I’m prepared for my life. Thank you so much!
Happy birthday lol
Graham you are my favorite UA-camr and I have been watching you for 2 years. I’m a ten year old my dad is also a realtor but he is based in The Santa Clara County. I always ask him and my mom about all the stuff you talk about like tax write offs, boosting credit scores, saving money and etc. I love your UA-cam channel and think you are one of the best business youtubers. I want to help my dad flip houses and pass out flyers. I already made 470 dollars on the stock market from all of my birthday money and I saved all of it. If you reply that would be so amazing because I really want to here your opinion on my story. I am ten years old and I love your UA-cam channel and think that you are a very intelligent person.
Ima keep reposting till graham replies
Thanks for sharing!’ We agree it’s a great measurement AND motivation if we happen to get off track!! Definitely hitting the like button!!
Oh my goooodnesss I love your channel so much 😭
As a 18 years old, I'm glad to have found your channel long ago. The day I was 18, I got a credit card to build up my credit score. I invest money as you said. I mean, in my last year of high school, my "finance" teacher should have put your video in front of the class instead of him. I'm grateful. Thank you Graham!
Starting in my twenties, I put away $50 a week as an emergency fund. So when an unexpected expense (ex. dental) came up, I would pay with a reward credit card, then I would dip into my emergency fund to pay the balance in full to avoid paying interest. 😀 Doing this avoided some stress in my life!
Found your channel researching real estate investing and love your videos. You’re fun too which is a bonus haha, keep it up and thanks for the info!
2020 has been eye opening for me. I’m 22 and this year I’ve created a budget to live as frugal as possible. I also am looking into passive income options and started investing. The idea of being more financially stable than my peers makes me happy 😃
Strange that having more than others makes you 'happy.' Why not simply enjoy becoming self-actualized and prepared for your own sake?
@@J5L5M6 This is why you are broke
how is this going for you
Are you triggered? @@J5L5M6
You will be wealthy by the time you are 50. Unless you marry the wrong person, of course.
Many people become successful later on in life like CEOs for eg. Stay the course, don't lose faith and good things will come your way!
agreed!
@@GrahamStephan Hey Graham can you tell me your opinion on money market accounts?
john tan he likes them
Yeah, all the videos that say live within your means don't take into account the money you get when you are older. Permanent income hypothesis, consumption smoothing are not talked about at all. Why live in misery young and be rich and old?
Here Here! I blew most of my opportunities in my 20's dealing with severe depression but started to turn things around at 28. Hauled butt working 2 good paying jobs, paid off $10K CC debt in 5 months. Now at 30 I own a condo that's a 5 minute drive to the office and doing amazing things at work and management has noticed. You're videos Graham are an inspiration and very helpful!
A year ago I was 20, had no savings, no investments and was constantly stressed about bills and over drafting my checking account. In the last six months I've got two high-interest savings accounts along with an emergency fund saved up, making money on my investments and am building my credit score. Thanks Graham.
Honestly your content is super helpful. I think binge watching your videos at 21 years old is going to have a good return on investment now & later on lol. Thank you for this content! This is gonna help me accelerate my financial goals 🚀
I’ve been investing since I was 16, I’ve been blessed to finally be able to this year I’m 21 live off passive income and not erode my base capital while still having money to invest into other income streams. Thanks for all your help Graham. (Will I stop working, yes my 9-5 but there’s so much other asset classes to profit from and I’m excited for the knowledge and adventures to come )
Graham: “save 5-7x your income by now.”
Lots of people: can’t afford a $500 emergency.
Yeah he's not very in tune with reality.
most people??? come on do door dash if you have free times. dont be lazy, if you are single then live in the room cheaper than a apartment, learn to cook. lot of way to save money. infact im saving from 100% from my 2 job (door dash and restaurant) my tips are literally cover my expends. house paid off. just work your ass off for 10 years then you are good to go.
@@danielwells774 No, your reality is made by hard work. Graham isn't well off cause he is lucky. It's cause he researches, and puts in the work. Both in terms of making and saving money.
If you want to live a victimized life by thinking that it's impossible to make a decent living or save a lot of money, then you won't do very well.
Do research, put in the work and you will get results.
The reason most people can't afford to save is because they spend too much and they don't try to get a career, they just work a minimum wage job their whole life, because learning something is hard.
@@danielwells774 Most people bury themselves in credit card debt. The good ol' "Too many people are buying things they can't afford, with money that they don't have... to impress people that they don't like!"
According to the US government: The mean credit card debt of U.S. households is approximately $5,700, according to most recent data from the Survey of Consumer Finances by the U.S. Federal Reserve
The average interest rate is ~20%, so if they weren't paying 1k+ in interest every month they'd be easily saving 12k a year without changing their lifestyle.
Guess those people should start with trying to hit the advice for 20 y olds
Glad I was thinking like this when I was in my 20's. House paid off two years ago and have almost 8x my annual saved at 40 with zero debt. I do hear from many though that I have not done well for myself since I don't work a white collar 9-5 job.
You've done incredibly well
Haha those are the same people living in crippling debt. 😂 Cheers man good job👌🔥
Thank God I have a Brother just like you xD
The average Plummer makes more in a lifetime than the average doctor or so I’ve heard
What do you do?
Graham Stephan , Thanks a lot man
This si priceless advice
Thank you.
You're speech at the end where you said "it's all about starting as soon as you can, even if you're behind. And then working within your means to understand what you need to do to hit your future goals... the best time to start taking this seriously is now and it's never going to be too late to begin catching up or working harder to achieve these..." That made me feel better lol because this is kinda overwhelming. No matter what I try to do, thinking about retirement and needing more and more savings feels overwhelming. I know a lot of people who could use your advice too.
Watching a few of these videos leads to a dedication to smart decision making... watching too many of these videos leads to crippling anxiety
17 years old. Thank you for this information, you’re teaching better, the most teachers
Recommendation: add charitable giving to expected spending
So few channels give so much actionable information. Graham puts it in so consistently! 👏👏
YOU GOT IT!
Im 20 with 50k saved. 0 debt. I live a debt free lifestyle (a part of the FIRE community), started working multiple jobs since 13. Now im 1 year away from graduating with my undergrad in comp sci debt free thanks to hella scholarships.
I was raised a by 2 dave ramsey fanatics, so we follow the baby steps religiously. I always had an emergency fund set aside for myself. I started investing at 16 between mutual funds and roth ira. I plan to get into my 401k next year upon getting a fulltime job once i graduate and really plug ahead on investing more. Saving up for a duplex/multi family home to start that passive income, and have 5 side hustles/income streams at the moment.
Live below your means, save 50% or more your income, keep expenses low, live frugal, say no to debt, and INVEST AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE.
Its channels like these that motivate you to reach your financial goals.
Hows your eating lifestyle? Breakfast lunch dinner snacks etc. Just curious
Those are not reasonable for most people. You're in the
@@goaliedude32 Yeah especially the scholarships part. I applied to probably 50 or so scholarships. Didn't get a single one. The only scholarship I had was offered by my school that was basically canceled out by the rise in tuition. I also go to an instate engineering school while already being a year ahead in my program (to save money lol). Rippp
Do you have time for leisure time? Do you enjoy your life and what’s one of the side hustles ?
Lmao sounds like a really enjoyable life you live
Reading about people grabbing multi figures monthly as income in investment even in this crazy days in the market, any pointers on how to make substantial progress in earnings? would be appreciated
and that's why 80% of millionaires today are investors. The best decision I ever made in my life was investing in financial market. Trust me guys, it pays a lot. I have come to realize that trading bitcoin is more profitable than holding it and waiting for it to skyrocket
My trading account has now reached 12 bitcoins, and Jason graystone fx is an expert trader with a pleasant demeanour
Ago I was skeptical about trading bitcoin until I was introduced to Jason Graystone fx. and I must say I was impressed by is understanding and politeness
funny enough, a friend that I referred to him received $6,040 profit after 10 days of investing.... I became jealous.. 😂
@@sulaimanbala8873 you can messaging on Facebook
Thank you. You rock!
Hey Graham, I have no idea if you will ever see this but Im starting a club at school that will get me and my peers into investing, finance, real estate. Sometime during this year I would love to have you on for a few minutes to be a guest speaker at one of our virtual meetings!
You should shoot him a email once you get it started.
chris o_o I will thanks for liking so he’ll see it hopefully he does
this sounds like a wonderful idea and opportunity for younger people interested in economics to get involved
That’s really cool dude I wish our school would do something like that.
@@joeybuttler1615 Hey joey, the school was not the one who initiated this I go together some friends and they got their friends interested. If you search up CASH Club Corp you should be able to find out how to start a club at your own school maybe you have some friends that are interested too. Since finance is something that schools don't really teach at schools I am sure that many students would be interested.
It’s CRAZY seeing what the “average” numbers are!... I’d love to see how they would compare to the average of Graham’s subs
agreed!! I'd be curious!
Actually, I think the numbers Graham is listing are "recommended" not actual averages.
@@OmniscientlyMe I feel it's safe to say the actual averages are much much lower 🙃
Do a poll @graham! I think that could be really cool!
A lot of coin
Bruh, BEST video ever!!!, I have been looking at some equation about optimal Retirment benchmarks for months and honestly I kinda never gave you a chance because (Stephan).... knew somebody with that name and I mean, sorry man.
You are good man, thank you for the video and I def hit Subscribed now.
I liked the video bro! ❤️
Sometimes I feel so behind because there's a lot of pressure from my family to buy a house. But I'm 28 this year and almost have all your recommendations for 30 checked off. Makes me feel so much better knowing I'm ahead and not behind.
Thanks for making this video.
Why is your family pressuring you to buy a house
Graham: Go get a credit card!
Dave Ramsey: Sell the car, get a second job, get rid of the card and live off of rice and beans!
Graham’s advice is WAY better if you are a responsible person!
@@JasonClineShow Mr. Ramsey's clients be like "I'm just 10 years old and 1,000,000$ in debt!!!"
Not to mention that he was burned by the collapse of I think it was the housing market that drove him to bankruptcy, so he treats credit almost like a recovering addict. Combine this with his target audience, and it's not a surprise he gives the advice he does.

Thanks for the content. Awesome!
🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝🔝
Thanks for your feedback.
Send a msg to my financial advisor.
Tell him i recommended you.
Great the CC for a college student when studies show most don’t pay off their CC. It teaches them to go into debt/borrow money.
I came to the U.S when I was 18 without knowing nothing about credit scores, went to higschool, to college and did not learn anything about credit scores. After 15 months of watching your videos I able to increase my credit score and secure a 2.5% mortgage loan after learning from your videos. Thanks Graham.
I hate that at 28 I’m just now starting to understand the importance of saving. I only have $4000 in my savings 💀
That's better than nothing!!! 70 percent of americans have less than $1000 saved... So you are on the right track regardless of how old you are
While it would have been better to realize 8 years ago, you are a solid 15-20 years ahead of most and time is still on your side that you can invest a decent amount in good growth funds and it'll grow like crazy before retirement. If younare making under about 55-60k (singlel you should definitely invest roth. Max that $6k per year, and more into 401k if you can, you will be set when you are 55-60 even if you never become a high earner
I know what you mean exactly!!!
Nice. I really started saving/investing at 30 (now 37), so you're a few years ahead of me. Things that really helped me were mint for tracking my spending and wealthfront for introducing me to investing in a hands-off way that kept it from feeling overwhelming.
Don't worry you are starting sooner than a lot of other people
7:12 "what really matters the most is how much money you spend" It's not about the size of your paycheck but how to work it
Love the office space reference
