    Whenever I hear the critique of spending too much money on dinners, brunchs, drinks, etc., I feel like there's a failure to acknowledge how much eliminating such things would hurt your social life. It's a fair critique and most of us do spend too much, but you also can't just do movie nights at home all the time. Having friends and seeing them and having fun costs money. I think it's important not to spend too much, but also you don't want to be so concerned that you end up never seeing friends cuz you're unwilling to spend a few bucks on a cup of coffee for a catch up.

      Well it depends on where you want to catch up. Often, instead of coffeeshops, I have groups of friends who congregate in someone's house for chatting, games, food, etc. We may even go out after that, but the point is to first eat and drink at a house, which is always cheaper, even when we split, and then head out. We occasionally even cook meals together. This way, hangouts rarely involve too much money but instead, more quality time together, and in private

    My dad said the best time to plant a tree was 20years ago and the next best time is now. 20s are the best time to build your dream future. It requires alot of hard work and understanding the usefulness of time. I'm 22, i earn$ 1k every week from my online investment and i also do some couple of jobs after my study time.

    As a 20-year-old living in Europe (France) this video is not very relatable but still interesting to watch! We don't need to save for retirement ourselves since is taken directly from our salary (plus I don't worry about it too much because of the climate catastrophe), we don't use credit cards but only debit cards and I don't plan on a having a car since we have public transport available.

    When I graduated from college, I couldn't find a job to save my own life. I wanted to work in the public relations industry, hotel industry, and the fashion industry. I applied to 100s of jobs. I was not successful after one year, because everyone wanted 5 years of experience for 30-40k a year! It was absolutely disturbing. I ended up going to law school and becoming a lawyer. It took me getting into 100s of thousands in debt to find a job that pays decent in order to survive. I would advise any 20 year old to not be so hard on yourself. It's tough being a millennial! I started working at 29, and I started saving for retirement at 30 (besides the 401k). Although its not the ideal situation, it's not too late to make sound financial decisions and prepare for your future!

    Okay, I just want to give a formal THANK YOU!!!! 🙏 I’m 22 and completely freaking out about my finances. I‘m almost finished with college and I still feel inadequate with my finances. I’ve been so stressed out about it, but now I feel like I have some clear steps to follow for the future! Great video 😃

    Great tips! I may add having a budget instead of being frugal because sometimes being frugal makes us too scared to spend and sometimes ends up with the feeling of depriving ourselves :)

    I’d love a full video on getting into the “college broke” mentally. I work a standard, minimum-wage part time job, but ever since I started college and was able to receive some grants, any money saving skills I had seem to have gone out the door :( I’d love a gentle reality check lol

      Hey! I graduated last year and i'm working a full time job in my field, meaning I am no longer "college broke", but I still spend very little and save/invest approx. 50% of my salary. If you make goals for your savings, it helps to view your income as smaller (ex. if your paycheque was $1000, but you make it a priority to put $400/month into your savings accounts, it's easier to accept that your income is only $600, aka you still feel broke, and spend accordingly).

I hadn't considered starting a retirement fund until later in life, but after hearing you talk about it I plan on starting one soon.

    So glad you spoke about this Elena! Finance and spending within your means is such an important topic in your twenties. Working hard to have multiple income streams and staying in a saving mindset has been key for me. I also have a budget spreadsheet where I record *everything* and it's fascinating to see just how much the small things can add up! x

    This video just randomly popped up in my recommendations and I am so happy it did. There is so much terrible and honestly just unreasonable financial advice out there. Most of it is a bunch of smoke and mirrors as well and they throw around numbers and terms that mean nothing. This video is absolutely perfect for 20 somethings. Simple tips with a great explanations that are easy and sensible to follow. Nailed it!

It’s hard to find someone that always inspires and to always learn/discover something new....your content is great even when you make videos about “popular” topics...it clearly shows that you are a special person whose communication skills really reach to us!!! (That’s said by someone that is not really into youtube and social media because of the amount of “more of the same” that’s on it :)

    As a European myself, I'm shocked by how many here seem to believe that relying on the government to take care of you when you retire is responsible. You need to make sure that you will be comfortable when you retire, if that will even be a thing in 20, 30, 40 years. All I'm saying, guys, is that just because there is currently such a thing as state pension, doesn't mean it will still exist for when your time comes. Not to mention that the whole state pension thing is a house of cards...

      @@atelierirae Yeah, they're designed to be enough to survive on if you own a house and have already paid off your mortgage by the time you retire. That is pretty difficult for anyone our age so either save enough for retirement or ensure you have enough by the time you retire to buy the place you want to live in, possibly a half paid off mortgage on a larger house you can then downsize when you leave your job.
