    Hi this is the girlfriend. I wanted to make it clear that I am a senior at Arizona State University finishing my bachelors of science in Applied biological sciences. I have been with clinton before he had this much money, so I love him with or without money. We split all shared costs minus the mortgage (I offered to pay, but this was Clinton’s choice to help me cut cost while I am in school). My sister katelin is only 19 and just moved in with us a couple months ago to get out of the small town we grew up in for opportunities here in Austin. She plans to get her own place when she starts school in August. Clinton is very kind to let us help her start a healthy adult life.
    The video does not explain our situation well, but It did explain how awesome clinton is. I am happy he can share his wonderful story. Thanks for watching.

      Hey! He is a nice guy and It shows that you both are grateful for his support. My boyfriend paid for some of my education and rent for my last 3 semesters at uni. We had been together for 2 years and decided to move to the US. Because my immigration status I could only work 10 hours/week at university so he picked the tab. But as soon as I graduated and was able to get a good job I paid him every cent ( some cash and covered his rent for 1.5 years). At times I wished I didn’t have to, but I felt obligated to do it, mainly to honor his generosity. But I have always been extremely independent and while I do appreciated his support I don’t want to owe my success ( whatever that means) to anyone. We have been happily together 7 years . Good luck to you guys ( he is a keeper for sure 😉).

      To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal. Remember, diversification is an approach to help manage investment risk. It does not eliminate the risk of loss if security prices decline.Because investing can be complicated, consider working with a financial professional to help guide you on your wealth-building journey.

You could always take out a hardship loan off of that IRA should you need it. I had the same thought process as you since I've been maxing out my 401k annually for about five years or so now (I'm 33) but I realized that in a true, bona fide, emergency where I needed hundreds of thousands of dollars, I'd just cash it out (minus the early withdrawal penalties) anyway.

    • @TroyWarr1980
      @TroyWarr1980 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There's undoubtedly a lot of hard work involved to get to Clinton's level, but you might be surprised how much opportunity there is for just about anyone who's reasonably smart, self-motivated, and who shows up.
      Software engineering is kind of a unique field in that it generally doesn't require a degree, certification, or license to practice. Early-stage startups, especially, often can't be too picky about their hires (there is *so* much demand for talent, and startups can't usually get anywhere close to Clinton's salary), so it often doesn't take much more than showing up eager to work, and finding a way to make a net contribution.
      I've worked at 4 or 5 Austin-based startups over the last decade or so, and all of them had a small army of employees/contractors making $20-40/hr for things like basic data entry, spreadsheets, light-duty programming (things that aren't worth a $150/hr engineer's time like email templates, basic marketing websites, etc.) - the sort of stuff you can probably figure out eventually if you're decently handy with computers. It's fast-paced work with long hours, so the key is to try your hardest to be as self-sufficient as possible so that you're adding value without needing a whole lot of handholding. Still, even the most senior engineers are still learning every day, so don't be afraid that you're not good enough because you still have a lot of growth ahead of you.
      You might try doing some Googling to see if there are some early-stage startups in your area. Get your resume together, maybe do a small project that you're proud of and are eager to share via GitHub, and reach out. Ask them how you can help. You might be surprised how much demand there is for people who are still getting started in the industry.
