Understanding personal finances and investing will most likely lead to greater financial independence. By being knowledgeable about money and investing, individuals can make informed decisions about how to save, spend, and invest their money.
Investing in the stock market has HISTORICALLY provided higher returns than other forms of investment. According to Morningstar, the average annual return for the S&P 500 index, which measures the performance of 500 large-cap stocks, was approximately 10% from 1926 to 2020.

It's a lot to me too. I wasn't able to start saving effectively until I had a thorough process of automatic withdrawals. I appreciate the continued support you have given on this channel!
It's a lot for you? In my country you can't make $12,000 even in a year. Make not save. An average salary for highly educated people is somewhere around $500-$600 per month.
1. Decide how much you need to save 2. Create a budget income and outflow 3. Creat secondary goals short term 4. Essential needs food, shelter, clothing, health, and transportation
@@jhutt8002 - I'm the wife and also the saver in my relationship. I don't need extra things, but my husband loves his hobbies. And that's also part of enjoying life, so I support him while being the voice of reason.
@@kscott2655 My wife does save quite a lot, more than I actually. When I buy groceries, what I need costs 1/4 of what she wants. I wouldn't really care to have weekend in hotel somewhere, or eat out pretty much ever, when I could just sit at home playing guitar and eat minced meat and potatoes, but it's important to her. I don't want to be a cheapskate, so I pay my part. Of course double income does make living far cheaper in person, so I wasn't really that serious about it.
@@jhutt8002 - I eat like a toddler and never care about going out either. When I was in grade school, I took my own lunch which was the same thing every day for 4+ years. Food is really important to my husband, though. He cooks. He bakes. He loves all the finer things about food. So, I get it.
I recently made more purchases. Saving money for a market downturn is likewise a bad idea. There are numerous ways to look at recessions and depressions, we cannot always expect to make large returns, and taking chances is better than doing nothing. The bottom line is that you will achieve remarkable results by diversifying your portfolio and making wise decisions. My portfolio's raw earnings rose by $608k in just 5 months.
Despite my confidence in your advice, my recent stock purchases, and the fact that I am an AMC shareholder, I haven't been able to accumulate anything. I had already been in the hole for too long prior to the downturn. What's the investing procedure?
@@AnnieBeischel I don't invest in a single fund because I have a range of jobs. I don't behave at all like that.

I saved 10k in 6months by moving back in with my momma Update: guys whatever your living situation is it doesn't matter as long as you're happy and the people you share with are aswell. Wether your sharing with your parents, friends, strangers or live by yourself. I could easily live elsewhere but I choose to help my mom by assisting with house bills, maintaince, cleaning and cooking. I don't believe in sitting on your ass doing nothing while your parents do everything for you, no that's not right. It's just a bonus I get to save money. I know alot of people are struggling financially right now and have no choice but to move back in with their parents house. that's okay! I wish you all the best and hope we can get through this virus.
I would actually die if I did that 😂 especially because I have a husband, 2 kids and a big dog and there’s barely room for the people that already live in the house to begin with 😬 I literally shared a room my whole life until I moved out at 19
The habit of saving is a great tool that has helped me build substantial passive income through investing and on my way to build wealth. All I can say is that nothing beats expertise in finance.

A great tip for food... reconsider the cost of the restaurants where your eating out. Ive stopped eating out on the weekends, instead I buy groceries and cook at home. Its been an overall more pleasant experience. I would get upset when I would go out pay high costs at restaurants and then got lousy service. Instead i cook on the weekends stay home eat in with my family and its great. I don’t deprive myself from going out... instead I go out to the movies with my kids and or for ice cream or a coffee instead... has worked very well for me
this, just cook at home hell you can eat really good for a fraction of restaurants cost. I get 4-5 ribeyes for $45 and a bag of chicken breast that’ll easily last me all week and you’re eating good.

@@bryangaytan7136 Before you invest, it comes down to cutting down expenses significantly. Need to live very minimalist then just follow Dave Ramsay’s baby steps just to get started! It’s not about what to invest on, it’s lot more about cutting down expenses by more than half and discipline that over time.
When I left foster care, I wasnt sure how I was gonna save enough money for rent. I'm lucky to have a roommate, and it saved me a lot of money splitting all of the utilities between us. Also, simply cooking at home and using less electricity really saved me big bucks. I encourage everyone in a similar boat here to take an opportunity like this to save, because you'll never know when something comes up.
I got my pay check at the end of February, I took home $4,000. I immediately saved $3,000 and put it in a separate bank account. I’m a very frugal person and I’m conservative. I have no debt and live at home with parents. Focus + Discipline = Victory !

Absolutely man, loved watching this as it affirms what I do every fortnight. That is how my Fiance and I have been able to save $20,000+ over the last 6 months!
I don’t know how old you are, but I am 20 year old watching this video for the first time I can personally say, you have been very well raised and your wisdom is extremely outstanding. Thank you for sharing this with us, personally it helped a lot, to understand and have a clear understanding.
I try my best to save about 90% of my income since I am only 16 years old and don't really need to be spending a lot! I try to invest into new business ventures and also stocks for the long term!
Brilliant! Your parents are allowing to take advantage of the opportunity that their provision affords you, and you are making the most of it. Great job! They are raising a wise young man.
Great tips Nate - what helped me tremendously was learning to distinguish my expenses between needs vs wants, with prioritizing needs first above all else
poppy rose I think I made 8k last year😂 to be fair though, I'm also a full time college student so work is on the side but yeah I can only dream of what it's like to save 12k in half a year 😂
I like the simplicity. My biggest piece of advice would be to make sure you do more than setting goals, and actually do the actions toward those goals. Good Video!
I make approx 2400 every month (take home after taxes) and my expenses are approx 1300 every month. I should have 1100 approx free every month. I should have thousands saved but I don't. I gotta smarten up and be more self disciplined
Daniel Cervi you can do it! I was in the same boat as you, I got my stuff together, did a budget and now save a lot more money. It makes me feel like I got a raise even though my income is the same as it was before I woke up. Tackle head on and enjoy yourself.
I find that finding a balance between work and play is vital to budgeting as well. If all your going is working and saving - then you will feel like a cog in a machine. Making a monthly budget for fun things I found makes budgeting fun because you also reward yourself for doing so!
Even rich people have money issues but people below the work force will not as people below are learning while people who makes it fast aren't and spends their resources in the wrong way.
A balance book is what I used to write down my purchases so I could keep track of how much I'm spending each week and I noticed making coffee at home instead of going to the coffee shops saved me a ton!
Hi! Teller at a credit union here. One super helpful service your bank might have is payroll allocation. If you have direct deposit set up you can allocate those funds to automatically be deposited into certain shares or onto certain loans.😊 Ask your bank about what they have to offer you!
I like that he included taking care of your body. I work in an endocrinology office where we see a lot of diabetic patients. Most of these patients have to be on two different types of insulin and one or two oral medications. The cost of insulin is insane ..we are talking thousands of dollars a month just on medications. Also supplies such as glucose meters, test strips , insulin pumps and the list just goes on and on. Take care of your body!
This is so sad, in Scotland all our healthcare is free including prescriptions. I am a nurse and our standard of care isn't perfect but pretty frigging high. The NHS has longer waiting times etc but it really is a blessing. It really shocks me when I read about families going bankrupt after an illness or accident.
Figuring out how to save and invest money starts with determining your investing goals, when you need or want to achieve them and your comfort level with risk for each goal.
You are expressing certain realities I comprehend from you own imminent about contributing your investment funds. In any case, what might individuals like me who have no unmistakable view about it what's more, the cycles in question. I would like if you react. Much appreciated
Many savers prefer having someone invest their money for them. And while that used to be a pricey proposition, nowadays it's quite affordable cheap, even to hire professional help thanks to the advent of automated portfolio management services a.k.a. Financial advisors.
@@Windarti30 These online advisors use computer algorithms and advanced software to build and manage a client’s investment portfolio, offering everything from automatic rebalancing to tax optimization and even access to human help when you need it.
For some people It's easy to start something but hard for them to stick to it if they don't see immediate results. In order to save in the long term you have to develop new habits and mindset to save/ invest; moreover, be disciplined not to return to old financial habits. Don't get discouraged..just be consistent with it!
Yes Nate , #1 set goals #2. Pay yourself first & set up auto deposits into a Roth & a Savings, #3 limit eating out in restaurants BC that is like throwing $$ out of the window & into the fire!
I accidentally spent $50 at a sushi restaurant the other day. I left the place hungrier than I was when I walked in and it cost me more than my entire weekly grocery budget!
restaurants on occasion - fine, fast food joints, take out coffee and snacks, buying pizza or kebab on the corner more than once a week - a big waste and dangerous for the health in a long run. I always wondered why fast food joints aren't banned around schools and universities, where i live they thrive on poisoning kids!
we need to make money, and money can be invested to have more money.. spend money to make money.. id love to help in any way i can, i have a really cool group of people we teach to make money. are you open to connecting?
Good video Nate! Like you I think one of the quickest ways to get on the path to saving money is to actually understand where all your money is going! Especially looking at recurring subscriptions... Anyway, good to see you back mate. Hope you had an epic trip!
Really appreciate your thoughts and the casual manner of talking about finances. Makes it easier to step by step change one's mindset around money. Respect for that! I have one suggestion. When it comes to talking a bout health, I wish the "take care of your body" advice went always hand in hand with "take care of your mental wellbeing". It all intertwines, sure, but it is good to remember and remind that there is more to health than physical symptoms
My diet is mostly beans, rice, potatoes and oatmeals. I don't like being in this tight budget but I have bigger goals so for the time being it works. I don't spend a lot on food, I plan on paying back my debt and investing in stocks.
Become a minimalist. Practice fasting & prayer. Get a roommate or move in with family (pay for your keep!). Walk places. Prepare all your meals at home. Have hobbies that are fruitful and productive. Gardening, working out. Stop drinking alcohol.
I love your tips. I share a lot of tips with my clients and even on my CZcams channel about how to save money and I have never thought of unsubscribing to emails. That’s a good one.
How has everything been for you ? I wanna move out on my own soon but just now by reading your comment now ima bit discouraged. Don’t mind me asking but has it gotten better to save money?
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0 s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.
I tried saving before I could get my own bank account by giving my mom some/most of my money that I would make while cleaning houses with her. I saved up $400 in less than a couple of months and as a 13 year old I felt og but she ended up using it for rent. I’m so glad I can have my own bank account now and I’m looking for tips. I’m saving what I can even if it’s a little bit but this helped me so much. Thank you

Have you tried mining bitcoins before? mining is the best way to get bitcoins without buying, I can teach you how to exploit and earn more than $ 5000 per week, ask me how if you are interested.
Good info. In a nutshell; basically the 1st few sentences say it all. No what you're bringing in and no what your expenses are. Create at budget so that you ONLY focus on the necessary expenses and don't touch the rest. Basically practice being disciplined. See it, want it, understand the difference between wanting and needing. That being established, resist the temptation that you ordinarily would give into, because you're a new, wiser person with an agenda.
Love this Nate! One of the goals for this year is to save $25k from our 9-5! We actually just shared some of our thoughts on a recent video and I think Fiverr and Upwork can do wonders in supplementing your main income source ✨
This is true, I ended up in the hospital not long ago due to a heart problem. And I am just 27 years old, when I saw my medical bill I almost had a heart attack again. 25,000! After the hospital paid off some of it, I still owed them about 8K. So yes, invest by simply taking care of yourselves.
Great Video Bro!! I agree with every step you pointed out. It's really important that we Save / Invest Money. I love seeing that WE The Next Generation are on it 👍🏽.
I’ve got my savings down to 80% of my income, which I think is my maximum. Any more and I think I might starve 😂 Great video btw! Definitely subscribed!
Stephen Anderson your off the limits when you die you ain’t taking anything. Save to a limit and enjoy life while you can . Don’t go bold for just thinking about saving
@@smurfeco2.358 something I need to learn I work 7 days week. Save like 2000 month but I'm stressed and bored but my mindset already been to place to grind hard not if don't save get to worry lol
P P there’s a certain point where you know you got it with money saved yeah of course saving is a great thing and everyone should do it . I save my money . But I don’t starve myself . If you have 40k in a bank account your not going to be broke for buying a 8 dollar plate . Pushing yourself to save a certain amount a month only stresses yourself out you’ll have 1 million in a bank account while but You’ll be in the hospital over a stroke because “of saving money” enjoy life but also don’t “live it to the max” how they say cause you’ll go broke
Its a good thing to save money for interest. But my advice to the low-income employee, save only 40% of your salary draft out your monthly expenses on 30% and create an investment on the 30% balance so as to stay ahead of inflation because if you dont lnvest and grow your money, you'll actuaIIy end up loosing money over time
Absolutely/I couldn't agree more. tho Investing money sometimes can be risky, but it offers higher returns than bank savings accounts and can help people build wealth over the long term

I encourage everyone in a similar boat here to take an opportunity like this to save, because you'll never know when something comes up.
I got my pay check at the end of February, I took home $4,000. I immediately saved $3,000 and put it in a separate bank account. I’m a very frugal person and I’m conservative. I have no debt and live at home with parents.
Focus + Discipline = Victory !
Tank The Pitbull What kind of work do you do?
zach123987 Electrical engineering is my profession.
Tank The Pitbull well that’s why lol.
So basically as an adult you are sponging off your parents.
bumpus room as long as he is still under 30 and not not leeching off of his parents. If he saves everything he earns no respectably parent would refuse to let their son live with them.
Health is super important. I didn't brush my teeth very well and spent 2000 dollars

id love to help in any way i can,
i have a really cool group of people we teach to make money.
are you open to connecting?
Absolutely man, loved watching this as it affirms what I do every fortnight. That is how my Fiance and I have been able to save $20,000+ over the last 6 months!
I don’t know how old you are, but I am 20 year old watching this video for the first time I can personally say, you have been very well raised and your wisdom is extremely outstanding. Thank you for sharing this with us, personally it helped a lot, to understand and have a clear understanding.
I try my best to save about 90% of my income since I am only 16 years old and don't really need to be spending a lot! I try to invest into new business ventures and also stocks for the long term!
That's a perfect goal for a teenager.
The Financial Wolf just teach me please.inbox
Brilliant! Your parents are allowing to take advantage of the opportunity that their provision affords you, and you are making the most of it. Great job! They are raising a wise young man.
You'll find some of the coolest clothes at thrift stores. That's a fact
hahahahaha
YES YES & YES.....!!!!!!
Great tips Nate - what helped me tremendously was learning to distinguish my expenses between needs vs wants, with prioritizing needs first above all else
Yeah, very important point. I try to include this in all money-saving and budgeting videos I make.
He seems younger than me... and smarter than me. Damn it.

I don't even make 12K a year
poppy rose I think I made 8k last year😂 to be fair though, I'm also a full time college student so work is on the side but yeah I can only dream of what it's like to save 12k in half a year 😂
Same
lol which means you're probably at your parents house. Save as much as you can now.
Sassanfar Productions it's true
Really?! What do you do ?
I like the simplicity. My biggest piece of advice would be to make sure you do more than setting goals, and actually do the actions toward those goals. Good Video!
"LAZY"! That was it. Having food at home and still eating out every day of the week. One decision away from a proud savings account.
Rice and beans all day everyday! And pasta!
That might be a bit extreme 🤭😂
Ramens Bro
Is rice and beans how you got so buff?
Rice and soyu sauce bro
@@rickybobby8673 if you're feeling fancy, you can even add sriracha!
I make approx 2400 every month (take home after taxes) and my expenses are approx 1300 every month. I should have 1100 approx free every month. I should have thousands saved but I don't. I gotta smarten up and be more self disciplined
You can do it. Set up some money aside to invest long term.
Good luck! It is possible. Save as much as u can and once u start seeing it grow, you’ll want to keep adding to it.
Daniel Cervi you can do it! I was in the same boat as you, I got my stuff together, did a budget and now save a lot more money. It makes me feel like I got a raise even though my income is the same as it was before I woke up. Tackle head on and enjoy yourself.
You single 🤣🤣🤣
Amen brother. Me to
I find that finding a balance between work and play is vital to budgeting as well. If all your going is working and saving - then you will feel like a cog in a machine. Making a monthly budget for fun things I found makes budgeting fun because you also reward yourself for doing so!
What an fantastic young man and great influencer for young people to look up to...well done ✅
Its nice to know that a millennial is helping other millennials. Great job!
Thanks! I try my best to provide value.
Even rich people have money issues but people below the work force will not as people below are learning while people who makes it fast aren't and spends their resources in the wrong way.
He’s gen z
A balance book is what I used to write down my purchases so I could keep track of how much I'm spending each week and I noticed making coffee at home instead of going to the coffee shops saved me a ton!
Love it, skipping a cup of coffee from a shop every week and just making it at home is a great way to save!
Hi! Teller at a credit union here. One super helpful service your bank might have is payroll allocation. If you have direct deposit set up you can allocate those funds to automatically be deposited into certain shares or onto certain loans.😊 Ask your bank about what they have to offer you!
Haha food is a depreciating asset. True and very funny😂 Limiting your budget for food can really help with waste.
Seriously! I love food but there's no sense in spending exorbitant amounts of money on something that holds no value
TruFinancials “help with waste” 😂😂😂💩
BM TravelWrite - Pun wasn't intended, but I'll take it haha 😂😂
@Laurent Nick Huor - Yes, intermittent fasting is a great way to help save. I only eat twice a day. Saves time and money.
So true! Especially Foote that you could make cheaper and healthier at home!
I like that he included taking care of your body. I work in an endocrinology office where we see a lot of diabetic patients. Most of these patients have to be on two different types of insulin and one or two oral medications. The cost of insulin is insane ..we are talking thousands of dollars a month just on medications. Also supplies such as glucose meters, test strips , insulin pumps and the list just goes on and on. Take care of your body!
True. At least a third of my monthly budget goes to supplies for my type one diabetes 😒
This is so sad, in Scotland all our healthcare is free including prescriptions. I am a nurse and our standard of care isn't perfect but pretty frigging high. The NHS has longer waiting times etc but it really is a blessing. It really shocks me when I read about families going bankrupt after an illness or accident.
Figuring out how to save and invest money starts with
determining your investing goals,
when you need or want to achieve them
and your comfort level with risk for each goal.
You are expressing certain realities
I comprehend from you own imminent
about contributing your investment funds.
In any case, what might individuals like me
who have no unmistakable view about it
what's more, the cycles in question.
I would like if you react. Much appreciated
Many savers prefer having someone invest their money for them.
And while that used to be a pricey proposition,
nowadays it's quite affordable cheap, even
to hire professional help thanks to the advent of automated portfolio management services
a.k.a. Financial advisors.
@@Windarti30 These online advisors use computer algorithms
and advanced software to build and manage a client’s investment portfolio,
offering everything from automatic rebalancing to tax optimization
and even access to human help when you need it.
@@andresLK I support you on this one.
@@WiolciaMrozowska531 Hope you understand now ?
For some people It's easy to start something but hard for them to stick to it if they don't see immediate results. In order to save in the long term you have to develop new habits and mindset to save/ invest; moreover, be disciplined not to return to old financial habits. Don't get discouraged..just be consistent with it!
Yes Nate , #1 set goals
#2. Pay yourself first & set up auto deposits into a Roth & a Savings, #3 limit eating out in restaurants BC that is like throwing $$ out of the window & into the fire!
I accidentally spent $50 at a sushi restaurant the other day. I left the place hungrier than I was when I walked in and it cost me more than my entire weekly grocery budget!
restaurants on occasion - fine, fast food joints, take out coffee and snacks, buying pizza or kebab on the corner more than once a week - a big waste and dangerous for the health in a long run. I always wondered why fast food joints aren't banned around schools and universities, where i live they thrive on poisoning kids!
that’s your opinion . eating in restaurants is great and i enjoy tasty food .
@@NateOBrien “Accidentally” 😂
Or down the toilet literally
Step 1. move back home work double shifts and close amazon account
Conqwiztadore22 or just close amazon account lol
Facts! Amazon be Runnin me
I’m 22 and live with parents. I work 12-15 hours a 5-6 times a week. And I bought a car full cash so no loans.
I definitely have to stay away from amazon.
Step 2. Open Amazon seller's account
You told me mostly what I already knew, but it’s reassuring to know im on the right track and making the right moves
"Be good to your body" Love that. You're absolutely right
Saving is a lost skill, thank you for helping us
Certainly a lost skill. I don't know why they don't teach this in high school
@@NateOBrien at my school, we have accounting, but its just doing calculations on excel's spreadsheets.
They don’t teach it in high school because the goal is getting us into the debtfare system.
we need to make money, and money can be invested to have more money..
spend money to make money..
id love to help in any way i can,
i have a really cool group of people we teach to make money.
are you open to connecting?
@@NateOBrien
It's probably because they don't want us to be rich...who knows? I know I'm late.
Good video Nate! Like you I think one of the quickest ways to get on the path to saving money is to actually understand where all your money is going! Especially looking at recurring subscriptions...
Anyway, good to see you back mate. Hope you had an epic trip!
Thanks! Trip is far from over. Back in the U.S. for a couple weeks, then Europe and Asia
Guys ,Health is wealth , maintain your health ,its the most important thing
Really appreciate your thoughts and the casual manner of talking about finances. Makes it easier to step by step change one's mindset around money. Respect for that!
I have one suggestion. When it comes to talking a bout health, I wish the "take care of your body" advice went always hand in hand with "take care of your mental wellbeing". It all intertwines, sure, but it is good to remember and remind that there is more to health than physical symptoms
I think many people can truly benefit from this video! If you can't manage to follow multiple tips, try starting with just one. Good job Nate!
Thank you Polar Barb!
My diet is mostly beans, rice, potatoes and oatmeals. I don't like being in this tight budget but I have bigger goals so for the time being it works. I don't spend a lot on food, I plan on paying back my debt and investing in stocks.
Stumbled across this comment now two years later. Have you achieved your goals / how is it going for you? Geniounely curious :)
How’s it going for you? 3 years later??..
Well good but still have ways to go. Paid back $20k in debt. I'm also investing in stocks.
Man I have really learned a lot from you. Great information keep up the good work
I think it's brilliant how you are so young and have this fantastic mentality. You are on the right track to financial freedom.
Become a minimalist. Practice fasting & prayer. Get a roommate or move in with family (pay for your keep!). Walk places. Prepare all your meals at home. Have hobbies that are fruitful and productive. Gardening, working out. Stop drinking alcohol.
I love it
Awsome
I can not believe videos as great and helpful as these are available free on CZcams. Thank you so much 😃 👍
Free content is king
I love your tips. I share a lot of tips with my clients and even on my CZcams channel about how to save money and I have never thought of unsubscribing to emails. That’s a good one.
Love your breakdown of everybody's basic costs
Thanks Nate!
I've been doing all these things and my girlfriend kept calling me cheap

I saved 10k when I was livinf with my mom at 18 years old. But once you move out its harder and moves slower
@@PowellLumor huh?
How has everything been for you ? I wanna move out on my own soon but just now by reading your comment now ima bit discouraged. Don’t mind me asking but has it gotten better to save money?
How long did it take you ? I’m saving for plastic surgery which is roughly 11k but I’m saving 20K just in case of extra charges etc
You are right dr ❤
@@ilyy_xo love you dr
I realized that the secret to making a million is making better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Car or that vacation just yet and that mindset helps me make more money invest:ng. For example last year I invested 70k in blue chip stocks and crypt0 s (with the help of my advisor of course) and made about 380k, but guess what? I put it back and traded with her again and now I'm rounding up close to a million. Delayed gratification always pays off.

I tried saving before I could get my own bank account by giving my mom some/most of my money that I would make while cleaning houses with her. I saved up $400 in less than a couple of months and as a 13 year old I felt og but she ended up using it for rent. I’m so glad I can have my own bank account now and I’m looking for tips. I’m saving what I can even if it’s a little bit but this helped me so much. Thank you
This definitely did change my life! Automatic is the way to go for saving, investing, even paying debts. I’m putting over $6k a year for retirement just on this simple idea. 😁
Great tips! I was able to do this in 2018, but it wasn't easy. And now I've set my 2019 goal for 15% more.
congrats!
Self checkout at Walmart is one way of saving
Thank you for sharing your tips with us. You've definitely inspired me to cut down and analyse where my money is going.
More money saved = more money invested. Automatic withdraws are so helpful!
Best way to save money is not to spend it... lol
I never get no sleep how my money all spent but one ima die and it wont mean shit tho

Wow, just discovered your channel a couple days ago and haven't watched a ton of your videos, but what I've watched I like! Very helpful info and you explain things in such a down to earth way. I'm just starting to get serious about getting my personal finances in order and feel like I'm behind, but better late than ever I guess haha. Keep up the videos, thanks!
I'd like your view on saving money on health. That's a very good point!

Have you tried mining bitcoins before? mining is the best way to get bitcoins without buying, I can teach you how to exploit and earn more than $ 5000 per week, ask me how if you are interested.
@@petercorey7710 How?
Good info. In a nutshell; basically the 1st few sentences say it all. No what you're bringing in and no what your expenses are. Create at budget so that you ONLY focus on the necessary expenses and don't touch the rest. Basically practice being disciplined. See it, want it, understand the difference between wanting and needing. That being established, resist the temptation that you ordinarily would give into, because you're a new, wiser person with an agenda.
Love this Nate! One of the goals for this year is to save $25k from our 9-5! We actually just shared some of our thoughts on a recent video and I think Fiverr and Upwork can do wonders in supplementing your main income source ✨
Another thing about the thrift shopping, I’ve found some of the coolest and best clothing there. Great quality clothes for very cheap!
This is true, I ended up in the hospital not long ago due to a heart problem. And I am just 27 years old, when I saw my medical bill I almost had a heart attack again. 25,000! After the hospital paid off some of it, I still owed them about 8K. So yes, invest by simply taking care of yourselves.
I find your content very useful and inspiring. Thanks. Watching from Ghana 🇬🇭
Thank you! I hope to travel to Africa in the coming years!

Stephen Anderson your off the limits when you die you ain’t taking anything. Save to a limit and enjoy life while you can . Don’t go bold for just thinking about saving
@@smurfeco2.358 something I need to learn I work 7 days week. Save like 2000 month but I'm stressed and bored but my mindset already been to place to grind hard not if don't save get to worry lol
P P there’s a certain point where you know you got it with money saved yeah of course saving is a great thing and everyone should do it . I save my money . But I don’t starve myself . If you have 40k in a bank account your not going to be broke for buying a 8 dollar plate . Pushing yourself to save a certain amount a month only stresses yourself out you’ll have 1 million in a bank account while but You’ll be in the hospital over a stroke because “of saving money” enjoy life but also don’t “live it to the max” how they say cause you’ll go broke
Good advice! I’m going through it right now and I really needed this 👏🏿
Its a good thing to save money for interest. But my advice to the low-income employee, save only 40% of your salary draft out your monthly expenses on 30% and create an investment on the 30% balance so as to stay ahead of inflation because if you dont lnvest and grow your money, you'll actuaIIy end up loosing money over time
Absolutely/I couldn't agree more. tho Investing money sometimes can be risky, but it offers higher returns than bank savings accounts and can help people build wealth over the long term
thanks for the idea but what type of investment will you suggest for me as a low-income employee. perhaps a reasonable 20% profit biweekly

Saving is bloody important. Just imagine you're healthy, working a part-time job, young and aren't saving, because you feel you don't need to: you lose your job, are short on a month of rent, break a bone or your means of transport breaks. You're fucked without that money. Thanks for trying to help people remember this!
A lot of people only think about a summer, never a winter.
