FIRST: STAY OUT OF STUDENT LOAN DEBT
Unless someone has a clear career path they want to pursue, where a certain college is a REQUIREMENT to get there…it’s usually best to go an inexpensive community college first, save the money, and then figure out what you want to do from there.
SECOND: GET A JOB
I think it’ll be one of the best experiences you can get, and I have to say…there is a difference in the type of person who has work experience, versus the person who has none.
THIRD: STAY OUT OF CONSUMER DEBT
This means that you don’t go and rack up a whole bunch of credit card debt to buy stuff you don’t need, don’t go and finance an expensive car, don’t go ballin’ out to impress your friends with how much money you have…all of that is stupid, it’s reckless, and 10 years from now…I guarantee you’ll nearly regret all of it.
FOURTH: BUILD YOUR CREDIT SCORE
All you need to do to get started is open up a secured credit card with a $200 limit, put a few expenses on the card every month, and then pay it off in full. You’ll pay $0 in interest, you’ll build your credit history, and over time, and you can continue adding in new credit cards to the mix.
FIFTH: LIVE BELOW YOUR MEANS
I’ve found that the older you get - the less “socially acceptable” it is to live like a broke college student, and the less you WANT to live like a broke college student. So, now is your chance to get away with doing all the cheap and frugal things you’ve always wanted to do, before people call you weird for doing them.
SIXTH: TRACK YOUR SPENDING
You can’t effectively live below your means without knowing where you spend money, how you can cut back, and figuring out where it all goes. I’ve been tracking every single expense on Mint.com and PersonalCapital.com since 2012…and it’s helped me out a LOT in terms of optimizing my finances.
SEVENTH: TAKE UNCOMFORTABLE RISKS:
I’ve really found that the WORST place you could be in your 20s…is COMPLACENT. If you’re satisfied where you are right now, but you know - deep down - you aren’t living up to your full potential - the ONLY way to break free from that is to get used to putting yourself under pressure. You HAVE to start making uncomfortable choices and taking calculated risk to get yourself ahead, even if it isn’t the EASY decision to do.
INVESTING FROM THRE:
-Open up a RETIREMENT ACCOUNT. This is just an account that you can invest within that saves you money on your taxes…for example, some of these accounts allow you to use them as a tax write off, and others allow all of your profit to grow tax free…just depends on which ones you want to use.
Roth IRA: $6000 Per Year Post Tax Money
Traditional 401k: $18,000+ Per Year Pre-Tax Money
HSA / Health Savings Account: $3500 Per Year Pre-Tax Money
Look into the 3-fund portfolio, and this gives you the ULTIMATE diversification across everything…so, you’re basically just investing in the entire world in the long run - and even if one or two industries goes down, plenty of others will be there to pick up the pace.
Now, in terms of any other investment specifics, just remember this really easy saying: time in the market beats timing the market. That’s it.

Haha main reason why I bought some for myself..
Soooo true
Me appreciating the extra Zero in my bank account:
My bank account: $0.000
We all have to start from somewhere
What is zero compounded over ten years? That’s how much I’ll have 😢
Lol
Right?
-$10
"You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday."
As soon as I heard this, I paused the video to make a comment about it. You beat me to it lol. But true fucking words to live by 👌
I bought expensive shoes 10 years ago and I still remember because I'm still homeless from it.
Always lived like that since I was 12~ ❤️

"If your debt isn't making you more money, don't do it." Pretty simple concept that far too many people miss.
that caught my attention but i didn't really understand it can you explain it?
@@ownlanedavo1167 if I take a loan for 10 dollars, and I manage to turn that into 12 dollars before having to pay the money back, then that means that by the time you have to pay back those 10 dollars, you'll still have 2 dollars in your pockets that you didn't have before.
What if it does bring me money? Also without interest
Basically meaning that you should not go to a fancy college with a student loan of $100.000 plus and choosing a major like "commercial dancing" or "agricultural literature of the ancient mayas" guiding you to no job at all or one where you get 7$ an hour.
@@bennyr.5031 Exactly. On the other hand, if you go $50-100K in debt for a computer science degree, and come out of college making $75K per year, then that is worth.
Debt that increases productivity (& pay) is worth it. Debt that does not, is stupid.
I spent my 20’s making every mistake in the book. Accumulated student loan debt (never graduated), ruined my credit with accounts in collections (500 credit score at one point), was homeless and sleeping in my car because of my partying habits.
I just turned 30 last week and now I can proudly say that my life is on track. I’ve paid off all my debt, have a nice savings, turned my credit around (720+) and am purchasing my first investment property this year. I really owe the changes to podcasts, books, and videos like these! Thanks Graham 🙏🏼 “Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
I’m proud of you!!! Keep it up bro!
Hahaha get rekt
Awesome dude! I wish you good luck and a great future!
Good for you buddy!
How did you invest in property?
"Live as if you are making 30,000 a year" bruh I make under that per year
Same, i need a better career
How many hours you work a week tho?
Live like you are making minimum wage...
I make 15.5 ... Maybe this is the Problem
Whatever you're earning, live like you're making half that!
About 20 now, I’ll be back in 10yrs if this site is still around and let you know how I did. See ya then Graham

Building emotional experiences even if materialistic does help a bit....
It depends on what you define as expensive. Sometimes it's better to choose quality that last longer. I doubt he is using Huawei instead of iPhone just because it's cheaper.
Leo PRG these videos are introductory/ summary videos made to make people understand basic concepts and alter they’re way of thinking. It’s not meant to be take literally, like everything you have to take the valuable information in this video and twist it into a way that is beneficial to the lifestyle you want to live. If one of your dreams is to have sneakers then buy them, jus make sure you don’t regret it and it’s not a spur of the moment decision. Graham has lots of videos saying that aswell; to be patient before buying something.

I failed almost every point you made. This happened in my early 20s: Paid through college with loans, got into consumer debt, destroyed my credit score, lived above my wage, and never tracked my spending. Almost 30 now and still cleaning up the mess made by my 21 year old self. Wish I could go back in time and hit myself on the head with a frying pan.
Better late than never! Some people never learn!
I started fixing all of this at 40. I was $98k deep in consumer debt. I worked my tail off to pay it off. 2 years later it was paid and I’m amazed at how quick things changed since I became debt free. I still work a lot, I love to work so it does not feel like I’m working. It is never too late to turn your life around. I wish I had started in my thirties let alone 20’s. Keep at it, you won’t regret it.
I went from negative networth to 550k net worth in 6 years. I'm now 35. You can do it to!
keep going! (i know it is hard)
i'm "just" 25 but my past self also did some realy stupid stuff (you allways should pay your taxes), but i'm on track again :)
You know what they say man, the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.
The wisest thing that should be on every wise individual's list is to invest in different stream of income and don't depend on the Government to bring in money or depend on your pension. Diversification is Key!
Investments are the stepping stones to success especially if you're being guided by a professional

just turned 18, got 600 in my roth and 2k in my other investment portfolio and a 700 credit score. we starting young and smart :)
How do you have 700 credit score at such a young age?
Venichand parents can add you to their credit lines, making it so you get all their benefits without taking any risk
Way to go dude
Venichand it wasn’t hard for me I’m 19 (same age I got my first card) with a 717CS I just keep my utilization down, have three credit cards thinking about getting a fourth, pay off every month most times early just do I don’t have to worry about autopay not working to some crazy unrealistic thing happening. Average age + utilization + payment history + a good amount of cards (that’s numbers is clearly different for everyone) and I did not have a parent co-sign
This is awesome!
I’ve bought literally everything for the last four years on a credit card and have never missed a payment. I’m now 24 with a credit score of over 800! Building credit early is key!
KungFu Master isn’t 800 the max?
It’s 850
a high credit score means you are really good at being in debt. the key is to not be in debt.

So far in the past few months, I’ve slowed down buying to only maybe an IPO or something I already own that has been overly beaten down. The only money I’m consistently putting into the market is through my financial advisor.
Same here sold my stocks earlier and my strategy ever since has been pretty much-buying Gold and silver to protect my wealth but if I could come up with a way to stay invested and be profitable that would be brilliant.
@@jesbensommichael8397 Last year a colleague introduced me to a financial advisor *PRISCILLA DIANE AIVAZIAN* With her help, I have been able to diversify by investing in different markets and asset classes while also keeping an open eye for attractive stock picks. she is quite known so you can find more about her online.

Does she offer mentorship tutorial
it's not about watching videos and wasting time on strategies, I was ignorant of doing so then I decided to try expert Lucy and she has make about 34,000 euro for every 4,000 euro invested
I'm an 18 year old, and i've decided to wait until my 20's to begin college. I have a job as a car wash technician with huge potential for raises and promotions, and just started my Roth IRA with $600. Thank you for this video, it helps me gain a sense of direction.
Similar position. I’m 18 and in a spot to make a lot of money soon. So may do college later. I don’t have a Roth IRA but have some other plans! Best of luck brother you’re not alone💪💪
Just so everyone knows. You can literally start a roth ira with as little as a 100$. Just get a s&p 500 index fund through fidelity. You can literally do it with as little as 25$. Then just add money later. You can always change your investments inside your ROTH IRA Later.

“As a real estate agent” MUST be the most used sentence in all your videos😂 Love from Italy!
Credibility!
Reminds of "as a millionaire" 😂
graham, I love how you’ve always been a proponent of index funds, but I have one simple problem: HOW DO I ACTUALLY INVEST IN ONE??
It would be so helpful if you made a video that goes through your process of picking an index fund (including what fund manager you would choose to do so). How much analysis do you put into expense ratios, etc.
It sounds like a simple enough decision, but I still somehow manage to get analysis paralysis.
My question as well, I get lost in a whirlwind of information and I don't know what to do with it
I feel like this deserves a whole video fr
agree
I was advocating for Graham to do exactly this a few videos ago and a subscriber snapped on me calling people like you lazy for not doing enough research on your own and being a lost cause for resorting to TH-camr advice. Hope that miserable girl sees people actually want and need a tutorial from Graham!
Agreed, it would be nice to see a video. Once you have a free brokerage account setup at a major brokerage, you basically just pick an ETF based index fund. A very easy one to buy and hold would be the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (Symbol VTI) which has a very low expense ratio .03% meaning on a 100,000/yr balance, the fund manager (Vanguard) takes $30. For robo advisors like Betterment and Wealthfront, look out for slightly higher fees (somewhere around .25% / $250/yr in the example above but maybe worth it for the set it and forget convenience).
I literally paused this video to pay off the last of my medical debt and now I am completely debt free. Thank you for reminding me to get it done today.
wow

Thank you graham for all the free advice you give us from your channel! I see so many people around my age make bad financial decisions (myself included) and it’s nice to have someone who understands help us.
Newbies need to learn the ropes, know how much risk they can handle and diversify their portfolio. Some folks get help from money experts or do their homework before making investment moves. It's all about being smart with your funds.
Generally , the stock market provides a platform for buying and selling shares of publicly traded companies, offering potential opportunities for investors to grow their wealth, but it's essential to approach it with knowledge and caution.
Investing your money is a good move, especially if you have a dependable plan that can steer you towards profitable days ahead. A supervisor will be the best. The returns are guaranteed .
Great, please who is your advisor?
Probably can’t say much, Stacey Lee Decker is the advisor that oversees my portfolio. She's an extremely intelligent person, very thoughtful, cautious, and has an outstanding credentials, it's easy to find her on the web.
@VickyAlvy Thanks, I just googled Stacey Lee Decker and I'm really impressed with her credentials. I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get.
Neighbourhood kid: Hello mister Graham
60 yr old Graham: Get a job!
Thanks for cutting back on using “click bait titles”, I remember you made a post about that and a lot of people didn’t like it! So I’m glad you listen to your viewers opinions :)
The way you convey your thoughts multiplied by your reach = changing the world for the better. Salute Graham you are the GOAT
Hahaha I’m 24 living with my parents trying to save and invest wisely and everyday people ask why I don’t have my own place yet. It’s rough out here
I am 25 years old and it's the same thing!
I'm 24 have my own apartment truck and live by myself. But I have no money everything I get paid goes to rent, bills, car payments, insurance, food ect.
especially in CA its rough!
I am in the same boat. If you can live at home, it is one of the smartest things you can do to accelerate your wealth. Dont worry about what others think, you're the one saving money and will be glad 10 years from now that you did and have no debt, investments and a decent savings account.
it is never a shame to live wisely.
Great advice! Definitely followed about half of these since my early 20s and following all in full force now that I’m in my late 20s. Only took investing seriously within the last 2 years and just by putting away a little money each month, I already have 5 figures invested in 2 accounts! Now I’m obsessed and continuing to build better financial habits. Thanks a lot for your channel!
This is a great video! My journey to millions was much slower...much slower! This is the type of material that should be taught in high school in a semester class. I see so many kids stressed about college, student debt, and what they should do with their life.
You are a big part of my life and my learning path. I am currently 19, self employed, on my path to acquire riches. You are a great man, and I am sure you have changed and continue to change a lot of lives for the better. Maybe sometimes our paths cross and I can thank you in person
You know this is the stuff that everyone needs to hear instead of all these get rich quick schemes
Just graduated highschool, this video came out at the perfect time.
I’m a dividend investor, my wife and I have invested in the s&p500, both through my TSP with the government and through fidelity in her 401-k. Cashed out 370k from the S&P and invested with a full service broker.. Until about 3years ago we were 100% in the s&p after over 30 years. I’m retiring at the end of the month at 59, while my wife will retire next year at 54. We currently have 5.7 million in our tex deferred savings.

Happy 30th Graham! You should be very proud of your tremendous accomplishments in your 20’s. You’ve already done what most people cannot do in a lifetime, in just 10 short years. I can’t wait to see your continued success in your 30’s! And now that I’m a real estate agent I can better understand the level of work ethic, consistency and smarts it took for you to do what you did. And, on top of all of that you took the time to give me advice when I was getting started as an agent, which makes you a gentleman and something hard to come by in this town. Cheers buddy!

Graham, I’m so glad I found this channel the moment I did last year! At that time I was an 18 year old kid who was setup for financial failure, and spending a lot of money towards a toxic relationship. Your channel has not only helped me financially be ahead at 19 but changed my outlook on life. As of now I’m in undergrad for finance, I opened up a Roth IRA and am building up credit by being co-signed on a vehicle with my family which I am fortunate enough to be thankful for. I can speak for the younger generation and say that people in their teens should watch your videos in order to set them up for living a financially free life, we appreciate you!
I saw the recommendation of G-hacker and decided to use his services because I was in a terrible position financially, and it turned out to be the best decision I ever made.

how you doin now?
You're living proof there's enough free information out there for someone who knows barely anything about finances, can become a millionaire with discipline. Thanks for all you do.
On a separate note, I only slightly disagree with the college loan debt point because if you really spend as little as possible and make money any way you can, you can pay off those loans before the grace period ends. Although I do think people need to seriously evaluate average income for majors versus the cost of the school they want to go to.
Agreed with your separate note, I just think there's so much knowledge and things to consider and at 18, most of us are pretty naive when it comes to selecting schools/majors. Tough problem to solve
I am 30 and I regret all the decisions I made through my 20's. Everything Graham said in this video is accurate. I am living my life today how I should have lived my 20s. My goal in life now is to live happier so thanks for reaffirming that the work I am putting in today is at least putting me in the right direction.
These videos are actually helpful, which is a nice change from every other personal finance video on TH-cam.
Wish I had the knowledge you're preaching when I graduated high school or even college. Keep preaching and take my like!

Before investing, everyone should have their emergency fund then after its soo easy

@@jakevote8978 everyone should know some accounting. It makes budgeting so much easier.
FreedomOfSpeechEQUAL Nope, all cars will need new tires eventually. Car maintenance is an expected expense and should be budgeted for accordingly. Same with things like car registration (only once a year, but you know it’s coming lol)

I’m a new subscriber and I must say that I really love watching your videos, I’m not young anymore but I still need to learn stuff. I can only confirm what you say since I’ve basically done all these things you advise your viewers to do but it took me many years to become a millionaire.

i’m going to rewatch this and take notes
I love your videos, the way you speak is so clear and it makes everything so easy to understand, thank you.
I’m turning 28 at the end of the month and I did all the stupid stuff Graham said not to do from 18-now😂 I’ve payed off 6k of debt and almost have a 700 credit score so that’s a start
Same here, I am guilty of a lot of these. Good thing you realized now and not when you're turning 38!
Thanks so much for the amazing content. I'm 13 and I've been subbed for over a year now. Because if the advice you have given I have managed to save over 3500 dolars with well over 1500 in the stock market. I'm truly grateful for all your vids, keep up the good work.
I just turned 20 today and this is my first time watching this. Best bday gift to myself.
This is the education we need, great job!!!
I went to a community college and I think it only cost me like 2k and I got my associates while working full time. (except for like 1 semester) It's a great option.
Happy birthday Graham!
My JC is free for the first 2 years (because the city just uses tax dollars on it) plus there is a scholarship for high schoolers with a +3.0 gpa that in addition makes it completely free even if you include books which is a lot better than the $7k a year for the traditional college
I did this not knowing going to a UC as a poor CA resident would cost the same as a CC!! Make sure to check if you can go to a better school for free before going to CC, I promise it's worth checking (FAFSA students)
All of my UC friends are in debt. All of my state friends are in the middle . Fafsa paid for most of my state tuition. CC is the best and easiest route for the first two years.
@@fullwisewords I'm not eligible for fasfa because the government assumes that there is extra money in parents budget for my schooling.
It would be fine if the subsidies didn't lead to consistently rising tuition.
My trading journey was a matriculation of highs and lows, literally just like the market. you up, you down. Now I'm constantly up.
Hello, I'm new to Bitcoin trade and I've been making huge losses but recently i see a lot of people earning from it Please can someone tell me what to do?
The new digital gold has created a new trillion-dollar's opportunity around the world! Where do you think your country is headed for
All you need now is a professional trader else you will continue making losses.
That is true, you need an expert broker and account manager to make good profit from Bitcoin trade.
Trading on your own is very risky, many people have lost a lot trading for themselves
Your journey is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Your comment about work experience and telling the difference is something I have noticed in my life as both someones in tech and an investor. I worked blue-collar manual labor jobs and my attitude to things is vastly different from others in tech who have never worked a manual labor job.
Every word you said about credit cards perfectly resonated with me lol. I’m 21, and just got my first one last week. Secondly, I noticed you said to only open an IRA account if your employer matches, but couldn’t I use the ROTH IRA conversion ladder ~5 years before retirement? Lastly, “Time in the market, beats timing the market” is a WORD!!!
WELL, I'm 22... and I feel you just called me out hard.
OK, time to watch all your videos haha.
I'll like and I have subscribed!
Graham i got to say great advice i wish i knew about investing when i was young and didnt discover this world at 29 you got yourself a new sub.
I'm 21 at this moment, I was wondering if I should still try to get a part-time job during my college virtual classes to get some extra cash, but this video opened me up for keep searching for that. I remember when my father stopped me from getting my first part-time job during college, even if they paid less than minimal wage...but now, thanks to my skills I should apply to work from home and start building my accounts. Wish me luck!
I turn 25 this week, and I just started grad school of course using student loans to pay for it. I wasn’t tracking my spending as good as I should’ve and when I lost my main job (at the time) and things when down hill. Now I’m trying to do what I can to play catch up and get to where I want!
I just turned 25 too; been putting grad school off because I don’t want to become a broke college kid again 😭
At 25 we still have plenty of time left to right the ship. Just look at a compound interest calculator lol.
Nathan Howard lol yep; I’m really glad I just got into investing right before the pandemic started. Found graham at the perfect time haha
Nathan Howard right! We just have to play our cards right!
I really appreciate the detail in this video! I just paid my student loans last month and I feel like I don't know where to go next, but this helps!
That was very valuable information, thank you Graham🙏🏻
Thanks for this video and also thanks to those who recommended Jane Marie Kunak for her good works. You all have to know that making money digitally is the main key to survival now.
Truly Stocks, ETFs and Mutual funds are the best investment decision you can make both short term and long term for steady money flow. Kudos
I googled the lady you mentioned, and after going through her credentials, I can tell she's a pro, I'll be writing her a mail shortly
My method is to buy quality firms, anticipate to hold them regardless of what happens, pay up but not too much, keep track, sell only when necessary, and be ready to course correct.
Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.
Happy late birthday graham, I Recently just turned 18 an don’t know where,what an when but you help a lot.
Thank you! I hope this helps!
Same I am lost as you
You're at a right time
I'm 21 and I already feel late.
Heyyy same here!
im 15 and feel extremely smart with my future, finances, and already started investing in the stock market!
As someone now in their 30’s the first 7 fundamental pieces of advice are spot on. Especially taking risk
I agree with the part-time job advice. Getting into work on a part-time basis will teach you the value of money, will humble you a lot, will give you some great work experience, and will help you build up some savings.
1:31 “This is one of those videos to watch from start to finish” Me: I click and see the 7 ads he placed. Smart guy ‘😂
4:45 meanwhile here in Czech Republic: This cup of coffee is going to cost me 5 hours of my time
Helpful as always!
Congrats on reaching 2 mil and happy belated B-day Graham!
"Get used to taking Risks" - i work in the risk division (Leveraged finance risk) of a bank and my whole job is based on being pessimistic and taking little risk
This is absolutely necessary. I invested in bitcoins when it was less than a $1000. It was a risk because I never knew it would be of great value today
