    "Don't let the fear of doing the WRONG thing, prevent you from doing ANYTHING"
    if that doesn't sum up perfectionist procrastination mindset idk what does
    Edit: Didn't realize how many people relate with this. Something that helps is knowing nothing is perfect, perfect is subjective to the individual, you're competing with your own standards. So just start, fail, learn, that's what perfection really is. Not nailing it in one shot.

    Protecting your capital is much more important than making money. Basically because if you lose your capital, making money is much harder. ''Missing the train'' vs. ''losing your money''. There are a lot of trains, but if your money is gone, it's over.

      Because let me ask you this: How would you organize $1,000,000 if it was given to you? Would you invest it wisely, and learn from other multi-millionaires/billionaires on how to grow that money? Or would you blow it all on random spending?

      Wally is a free money tracker app I've started using when I wanted to start "managing" my money. Wally let's me track what I spend my money on, how frequent I buy stuff, and see the current balance of my bank accounts and what's on hand. It's a little tedious to input the address, how much I spent, and on what. A simple picture of a receipt helps with the latter though. Being aware of my expenses and reviewing them once a week lets me adjust my spending habits.

      @Memekage Nope. Some countries might have a system to check what your loans you have and if you are paying them. If it is really bad, you might need a special mortgage with high interest, but that is not the case for most things. Most people here have no student loans or they are at almost 0%, most have no car loan, credit cards are seldom used and mostly paid off each month.... there are people with personal loans and who put a lot of stuff on credit crads, but that is not the norm. For mortgages you need to prove what you earn and how stable that is and what debt you have. But no weird stuff like in the US, it is so weird that you need to have a credit card to build a good credit score to get a low % of interest for any loan. The fewer loans you have the better isn't it?

Average debt per adult in Germany is roughly 30k us dollars. Where I’m from it’s common to loan money to pay for living while studying at university, so most people have student debt despite there being no tuition cost. (Although not as high of a student debt as in the US). Also we do have credit scores. It’s the way banking works in practically every country, because safety means lower interest.

    ✅ Save a % of your income i.e. don't spend all you have
    ✅ Focus on making more money instead of living frugally

      In the US most of the people have to get student loan to be able to go through college studies. Think of it this way: in Europe many countries have free or nearly free education (France, Germany, the Netherlands...) - at most you'd pay usually up to 5.000€ per year.
      The US system is very different and usually when you pay around 20.000$ you got a 'good deal'! Plenty of people pay 30-60k$ PER YEAR!

      in 150€ bills are your rent and food? The rule i could give you is kinda simply "free" money, so money you dont pay rent/food/insuarences etc. with, is for you 200€, i would go for 80% investment, 10% speculations (like bitcoin) and 10% shopping/travel money (things you which arent essential, but make your life better) - also from the 80% investment you should first built a savings account (money to live for 3-6 months) and then rest should go in the stock market (yes its fluctuates more than gold or bonds, but also have way better return in the long run and investments are per se +10 years time horizont)

I have a video that's nothing special in terms of quality, but that happened to rank well for a search term, and it's been consistently bringing in 100-200 views every single day for almost 3 months now, and now accounts for half of my channel's watch time (1k of my 2k total watch hours).

I miss the time back to 8 years ago when I just graduated from uni with all my passion for my life. Time after time, the busy life made me tried to think about my serious life but with only reacting it. In March this year, UA-cam recommended your channel to me and your videos made me to start connecting all the ideas and knowledge in my mind together. Yes, we only living once, we need to keep improve ourselves instead just wasting time and take basic reaction for life. Thanks for your 30 days challenge videos made me start rebuilt my habit with more patience. Thank you for your minimalism video made me start doing what I have tried to do in the past and leave me self alone from social media. Thanks for your book recommendation , that book completely changed my mind about my personal finance. Best wishes to you and your family from Australia Chinese.

      Where are you from? I live in Europe and education is from 0 to 2000 euros per year. I didn't pay for my bachelor.

    Loved the video! It’s fantastic to see more and more people both, acting sensibly and watching educational videos as Matt’s here to become sensible. And for those looking at similar advice on pensions in the UK - I’ve had much fun creating a series myself. Can only encourage everyone to research 😁
