This is beautiful, Eric. As a 29 year old dad, im currently living and learning the things you're talking about. More importantly though, is the fact that a lot of young men need to hear this in the way you presented it. Thank you for the humily and love you put into this. Thanks for leading by example. We are changing family trees entirely. Much love, brother. God bless.
Wow... this was great. I was bracing myself for some grandiose net worth - a humble brag, if you will. And it wasn’t. It was real, grounded, earthy, honest, vulnerable, and transparent. Thank you for setting a healthy example. This was really amazing.
This was amazing man, your tonality is seriously undefeated. You really have your vibe and self awareness dialled in. Great job dad! Your family is extremely blessed for the way you love and nurture them. Much respect and love bro, keep growing that nest egg! 🙏🏽🏁
dang, that's a lot of cash on hand. 27 here and i am like 95%+ in some sort of investment. Never thought about how much cash i'd hold if I had 2 kids... may have to change my outlook in the future
its so refreshing when you show your old beat car and the fact that you dont have millions to spend, the internett glory-fies so much and is such a big reason people are depressed / sad. Thanks dude..
This is an inspirational video for all creatives who think that they have to have everything together right away. Thanks for showing the rest of us that we can just start BEING SMART now to save up for a home (unless you're in the Bay Area).
I love this!!!! As a teenager who struggles with anxiety, I am always worried about my future. Whenever I ask questions about things like this, I am always told it rude to ask. I really enjoyed watching this and learning about debt and finances. Thank you Eric :)
Probably the biggest relief you can experience in your life is to realize that you absolutely don't have to be anyone or obtain anything special at all, it's just an external expectation from parents and society. Basic necessities are relatively easy to get, everything else is just desire. I'm not saying you have to be a hermit, but I know the consuming feel of anxiety that comes from worrying about our future - set goals but at the same time take it easy, nothing in life matters more than having peace of mind - and that doesn't cost a single penny.
this was awesome!! so helpful and informational (and funny) from start to finish. your videos have been a big inspiration to me as I slowly start to build towards my own future and I'm so thankful the algorithm showed me one of your videos.
Man, I have been watching you for some time and have always had the utmost respect for you and how humble and transparent you are. You inspired me to start two of my own photography businesses in the past two years. This video also provided a ton of insight into finances which I have always been so bad with. Thanks for always spreading a positive vibe and for sharing your knowledge!
truly a phenomenal video, hits on all the things i’m interested in. i’m finishing up my first full year as a photographer and am excited to see my post-tax profit so i can analyze, grow, and give to others. Thank you Eric.
Love it dude! The most helpful thing for me in growing my net worth was to stop overthinking it, and automate as much as possible. If I have to consciously invest part of my paycheck every week/month, it’s easy to ease up and not invest as much or as often. But if money gets automatically invested before I get a chance to even think about spending it, then I can budget accordingly and not be as prone to frivolous impulse purchases. This stuff is crucial, great content as always $$$
Dave Ramsey would be proud! We started paying ALL of our debt off this year since we're both out of school and working now. Looking at ALL of these things are uncomfortable but as you said, Its freeing! Good stuff Eric.
Found this video after your 2021 TH-camr video and very happy I came across your channel today. Love your style and channel. Really authentic and it comes through in the videos. Excited to keep following throughout the year!
This is now one of my favourite channels, simply because you're living what I aim to achieve in the next 5-10 years. It's real and i can follow your blueprint (minus the wife and kids).
Dude, love the breakdown. Very inspiring. I'm just digging myself out of debt. I might need to quit fashion photography and switch to weddings and video. Especially in the consumer market vs chasing small local businesses and brands that are struggling.
Thank you Eric 🙏 God bless you and your family! I really like that your goal is your kids, your family! This is what so so many people lose on. Keep inspiring 👍😉
great video, and thanks for the transparency and openness .... question - didnt you subtract the debt of your mortgage twice, or am i missing something... it isnt -$89k, wouldnt it be value of home - mortgage owed?
I think he is calculating net worth incorrectly, but at the en of the video he also explained why he calculate it that way. If he can sell his house with that 300k value he says then his net worth will be the real net worth.
Mostly just commenting for the algorithm. I’m glad I just found your channel. I’m almost your age though, so I’ll consider you the TH-cam brother instead of dad.
Thank you Eric. Even though it's a little different in the EU I am really thankful that you made this video. I currently highly undervalue my work so much and I really need to take more responsibility for charging what is appropriate. Your videos help A LOT with being more confident negotiating prices. Also, debts are real. It's not a crazy high amount like student loans in the US, but as you said getting rid of them ASAP is the best thing I can do right now. Greeting from Germany. And no I won't move to Chicago lol.
Awesome video. Glad I got recommended. Finally, a TH-camr doing a new worth video that doesn't start out I'm worth 10 million dollars. Such a humble dude.
Wow, All good stuff to know. Great information. When I was 29, I barely had a penny to my name! I quit my day job in 2015. In my 3rd year I hit 100K as a full time filmmaker. When I started, I started both a corporate and weddings filmmaking businesses under separate names. My corporate far outweighs the weddings. 6th years in now and acquired a 100k budget for a 60 minute charter school documentary. The corporate work is just so much more profitable.
a) td ameritrade, let's goooo! time to yolo on some TSLA weeklies. b) "don't move to chicago." - got it. also, thinking i should shoot more c200 raw - looks really nice!
a) alright, meetkevin, calm down. b) this does not apply to you ever do you hear me yes. Transcoded to Prores 1080LT and upscaled back to 4K; I'm in love.
Thanks for sharing! this is super inspirational. As an aspiring creative, I think many more people need to hear and see this! great job with those personal finance goals :)
Really cool video with a meaning behind it. I started investing at 13 for that exact reason so I can not have to worry about putting food on the table when I get older.
Assets minus liabilities meaning your condo is worth $305k and so you subtract $197k you owe. What you did was took your net equity and then subtracted the $197k again so essentially you subtracted your mortgage balance twice. Your net worth is over 200k if you account for your mortgage balance only once.
You’re the best TH-cam dad there ever was, just saying. But for real, We love these videos about how you manage and make more $!! so helpful - your print store tip from your other video has made us thousands that went to our credit card debt!
Thanks so much! Totally. I just don't like thinking that way, just because I always want to keep myself in check with what I still owe on mortgages. We'll definitely be borrowing against properties in the future for real estate endeavors though! 😊
So you like talking about this, I have been a long haul truck driver for close to nine years. Currently piloting super loads. So my net worth at thirty one single and no house but zero debt. Around $130,000.00 banked $40,000.00 of that in RSP. 2017 Mazda 3 paid $20,000.00 cash this year. Precious metals around $4,000.00. Dive gear around $20,000.00. I just bought a rebreather. Camera gear around $3,000.00. Critical care life insurance with a pay back after 20 years I believe not sure how much is in that right now. But payout is $40,000.00 doubles I believe if I die at work. I did that just incase I would have any loose ends in my life they would get taken care of. 17 Countries, 44 States and 8 Provences she has been one crazy journey.
Great video, here’s to the algorithm and also my unrequested feedback in case it helps you. I was formerly a financial advisor and sold both forms of life insurance. You’re correct about what you mentioned about Whole Life insurance, and yet there’s parts you may not be aware of. You can in fact borrow interest free as long as you pay it back, and let’s assume you do.. that’s great. What you may not know is you are paying more for that ability. If you die, that money is given to NWM, not your family... you get either the cash value or the death benefit. Not both. The money in that cash value has fees taken out from the investment performance, and if you do the math on the true return of your money with fees taken out (fine print of your policy) the return is truly between 1-2.5% ... a pretty poor investment in my opinion. Let’s use the example of if you had a term life policy.. much cheaper, and put the leftover money into a savings account making 0% interest.. you would still have a greater return through the monthly price difference of whole life and the term policy, plus the benefit to be able to borrow from yourself, without any terms of HAVING to pay it back or else you’ll be charged interest... you will be a nicer banker to yourself than NWM... Option 2, you get a term life policy, and stick the difference in a High yield savings account, where you can get 2-2.5% interest guaranteed, no extra costs, same flexibility to borrow against with no interest and also save money from having a cheaper policy Option 3, you take the difference of the whole life and term policy, probably $200/month I’m guessing, and place that in the market and average 7-10%, with the same flexibility as aforementioned with no fees if you put it in the proper brokerage account.. (ask TD Ameritrafe)... plus you save the $200 (estimated) per month.. All in all, the whole life policy costs the most, has the worst return, and gives you the least flexibility... but the commissions to your insurance agent is 10x what a term policy costs.... but what do I know? I used to work for NWM in Dallas... I’m not here to bash anything, just give you clarity on your “investment insurance” If someone can prove me wrong, please try... I’ll wait.
This comment wins. Literally emailed my agent today to cancel the policies. Been questioning them for a while now, and making this video really helped me realize that it's not as valuable as I assumed. Thank you!
@@EricFloberg Good on you, Keep making great vids! And if you’re ever coming out to Maui, feel free to hit me up! I know all the videographers and spots out here and would love to show you around!
I'm terrible with money at 25 years and hoping to make a change! this video and your "How much I made in 2020..." has motivated me to push to healthier money habits so thank you. 20k in assets (Camera Gear), 3k in cash and 10k in Retirement at 25... see you in 5 years ;) Love ya work
Good video and you cover a lot of great points. It’s nice to hear creatives start talking about finances and serious things in life. I had an “a-ha” moment 2 years ago and wanted to learn more about this kind of stuff. In two years I grew my net worth from $60k to now $310k. In the game of finance, knowledge is power. You should look into dividend growth investing, it’s amazing.
Yes!! So good to hear!! Yeah, that's what I've been growing on Robinhood. Andrei Jikh definitely inspired me to start investing in good dividend yielding companies, and I've been really stoked about that little side pot I've built so far. 😊
@@EricFloberg It's really motivating when it starts taking off. Mine div portfolio is currently at about $85k and pulling in an avg of $200+ a month. You should also look at GenExDividendInvestor, his portfolio is like $1.7mil...crazy!
I like the vibe hahaha, that cut away to you and your car was funny af 😂 You`re an inspiration man for my own freelance/TH-cam work, thanks for sharing some financial insights :)
Thanks for the advices Eric! Really valued info. I am not an expert either but I feel like over some time (and you did mention) you can buy another smaller condo and rent it out, would be a great investment as well!
You're 29?!?!?! I literally just turned 31 today... now I just really feel down lol Congrats to you sorry for making it about myself but I thought you were older than me and that made me feel like well maybe I can catch up but now I'm like fml what am I doing with my life
Everyone makes progress in their own time when coming unique circumstances, progress & experiences. Being behind doesn’t make a difference as long as you continue to move forward. Ever heard of the tortoise & the hare? Keep going!
This is just hypothetical, and conditional. His net worth might be more than you but he might have to pay more mortgage, debt and living expenses since he has a family. And who knows what might happen in the future which might cost him money. It all depends. So try not to compare yourself with him or others. Consider this as an insight. If you are living your life at the fullest and wherever life would take you, that would be where you belong.
Hey Andrew, 31 is wildly young. Please know that. I'm honestly so stoked for my 30s. I'm convinced it's when the majority of us will come into our own and really get better and hone in on what we do. Keep your head up. I may be 29, but I'm 60 at heart hahaha That attitude is always going to work well for you financially! :)
@@EricFloberg I’m a wedding videographer from Ireland and each video you post really inspires and pushes me to go hard. Thank you for all your videos and the effort you put into them!
Dude, I love how transparent you are! Super inspiring to me as a 21 year old married creative growing my brand and our creative endeavors! Thank you 🙏
“This is what I like to talk about at parties” 😂😂😂😂 almost spit out my drink.
😂I'm the one always steering the convo in that direction..hahaha
im also dead hahhahahah
me too lol!
Haha, I’m the same!! I always steer the conversation toward business or marketing😂
That means you’re ahead of at least 50% of Americans. And a responsible creative!! Also an important video for aspiring creatives.
This is beautiful, Eric.
As a 29 year old dad, im currently living and learning the things you're talking about.
More importantly though, is the fact that a lot of young men need to hear this in the way you presented it. Thank you for the humily and love you put into this.
Thanks for leading by example.
We are changing family trees entirely.
Much love, brother.
God bless.
Level-headed, no "get rich quick" mentality and a stand up guy.

I wish this was the TH-cam standard... Love the athmosphere of the videos, the transparency, everything.
Keep it up Eric! ✨
dang, that's a lot of cash on hand. 27 here and i am like 95%+ in some sort of investment. Never thought about how much cash i'd hold if I had 2 kids... may have to change my outlook in the future
Also saving for a down payment on a house right now, but we always try to keep $15-25k in the bank for emergencies 👍🏼
its so refreshing when you show your old beat car and the fact that you dont have millions to spend, the internett glory-fies so much and is such a big reason people are depressed / sad. Thanks dude..
This is an inspirational video for all creatives who think that they have to have everything together right away. Thanks for showing the rest of us that we can just start BEING SMART now to save up for a home (unless you're in the Bay Area).
Of course, my dude. Simple living, pay off the debt, save up. Lol yeah, Bay area is out of control

man those reels of the fam at the end always get me. 😭
Ah, thanks for saying that!!
Was not expecting to cry at a video about net worth....but I did. That montage at the end 🥺😭
Aw, thank you so much! That really means a lot! Had to really dig through the archives for those photos and clips. So worth it 😭
@@EricFloberg Sooo good! Definitely worth it! 😭

Surprised no one’s caught this yet... you subtracted your mortgage twice! Your actual net worth is that $266k figure you mentioned at the end.
Thank you for sharing :)
So lovely and thoughtful! Thanks for being so open and sharing!
Great to hear! Thanks for watching!!
Thank you. For being so open, and motivating us, you're the best.

You must be really transparent to the government to talk about it that openly. Great video, inspirational!
Ha! Yeah, I don't do anything illegal, so it's all good haha
Thanks for the transparency man. Cool vid. Your net asset on your house would be (current market value - mortgage balance).
Thanks so much! Totally. I just don't like thinking that way, just because I always want to keep myself in check with what I still owe on mortgages. We'll definitely be borrowing against properties in the future for real estate endeavors though! 😊
Yo amazing vid! Thank you for sharing!
So you like talking about this, I have been a long haul truck driver for close to nine years. Currently piloting super loads. So my net worth at thirty one single and no house but zero debt. Around $130,000.00 banked $40,000.00 of that in RSP. 2017 Mazda 3 paid $20,000.00 cash this year. Precious metals around $4,000.00. Dive gear around $20,000.00. I just bought a rebreather. Camera gear around $3,000.00. Critical care life insurance with a pay back after 20 years I believe not sure how much is in that right now. But payout is $40,000.00 doubles I believe if I die at work. I did that just incase I would have any loose ends in my life they would get taken care of. 17 Countries, 44 States and 8 Provences she has been one crazy journey.

Thank you so much! Great to hear that it was inspiring for you!!
Having financial backups makes a lot of sense when you're responsible for your own income like a lot of the creative field
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing!!!
Love this. I’m 36 and I still consider you my TH-cam dad. Also, where is your whiskey glass from? I’ve been looking for one like that.
Thanks for the advices Eric! Really valued info. I am not an expert either but I feel like over some time (and you did mention) you can buy another smaller condo and rent it out, would be a great investment as well!
not the video we wanted, but the one we needed
YOU LOVE TO HEAR IT
Dude, you are the most straightforward tuber.
Loved this! Reallty into these kind of videos. Keep them coming please 😊
Appreciate the transparency 🙏🏾🔥
Of course! It's always freaky to do, but I'm always so stoked to see how it helps people. 😊
Thank you so much for this video man! Love it!!

Good job being smart with your money. Its always nice hearing creatives talk about about their life. Keep crushing it sir!

Congrats to you sorry for making it about myself but I thought you were older than me and that made me feel like well maybe I can catch up but now I'm like fml what am I doing with my life
Everyone makes progress in their own time when coming unique circumstances, progress & experiences. Being behind doesn’t make a difference as long as you continue to move forward. Ever heard of the tortoise & the hare? Keep going!
This is just hypothetical, and conditional.
His net worth might be more than you but he might have to pay more mortgage, debt and living expenses since he has a family. And who knows what might happen in the future which might cost him money.
It all depends. So try not to compare yourself with him or others. Consider this as an insight.
If you are living your life at the fullest and wherever life would take you, that would be where you belong.
Hey Andrew, 31 is wildly young. Please know that. I'm honestly so stoked for my 30s. I'm convinced it's when the majority of us will come into our own and really get better and hone in on what we do. Keep your head up. I may be 29, but I'm 60 at heart hahaha That attitude is always going to work well for you financially! :)
@@Cobra_Khan Yes!!
ah man you are one of my favourite creators ever. In the wedding and youtube worlds!
Ah! Thank you so much! Seriously means more than you know!
@@EricFloberg I’m a wedding videographer from Ireland and each video you post really inspires and pushes me to go hard. Thank you for all your videos and the effort you put into them!
