Always good to be retrospective on decisions in life, now where all my decisions put me where I am today, there is advice I wished I could tell myself earlier on that would have made this journey easier to this point.

I've been watching super speeders since I was a child, ive seen rob through a few phases to say the least. With that being said, thank you Rob for sharing the journey with us I wish you the best.
To me, videos like this are probably going to be ones you're most happy about making. Think about it from the perspective that 12 - 15 years from now you can point your kids to this video and say "this is my message to you, this is what you need to do to be successful in life."
It is so true, I graduated not long ago with a “hard” degree and I feel like I know nothing. Rob isn’t lying, working hard is the best way to be successful. They will lend you whatever you “need” the college system is a debt system. Only go if college is paid for.
Rob, been watching forever.
As a 21 year old, I value these videos so greatly. Thank you.
Forever? Lol I guess you were watching as a 12 year old
@@Thatguy55595 Just for you, I checked. March 31 2013 is when I subscribed to Rob.
You subscribed July 17 2017.
Not a competition, but yes. I have basically grown up watching, so it feels like a long time.
@@DumElite136 I may have subscribed then but I knew about him since 2012 at least. Where did you find that info? You looking on your computer?
Today, Mr. Spaghetti wished he had a main chef show him how to boil the noodles when he was a little meatball.
😂😂😂
Damn. You beat me to the spaghetti joke. I can’t beat this. For future reference though: noodles are in Asian food and Italians eat spaghetti.
Thank you for the great advice Rob. Investing is something that I have done for years and it’s been great.
The travel advice is good. I see older people who have bucket lists. Bucket lists are for people who never did anything when they were young enoough to enjoy it.
Rob, you're a good dude. Very well said.
Great video Rob, thanks for sharing these insights with us.
"Advice I Wish I Followed When I Was Starting Out" - Building a house in a "historic neighborhood" is going to be an absolute bitch and cost far more than expected.
And look how it turned out. Looks amazing and prob financial sound decision.
He did it with cash he already had, no mortgage
For the record, anyone wanting to go into business for themselves should read The Entrepreneur Rollercoaster by Darren Hardy. It is the best book I have ever found that explains exactly what calling your own shots is like. If you read it and you're excited then you're probably on the right path. If you read it and think 'meh', then you should probably have a boss for the rest of your life
Thank you for sharing Rob! Valuable information
Loved the video and motivational suggestions. I think I'm doing it right so far especially after hearing what you have said. Thanks for the wholesome content Rob!
Thanks Rob, this video came at the exact right day I needed it. Thank you.
Ironically if Rob never bought cars above his income level and drove a beater civic, he would not have any of the businesses he has today
Really? He wasn't driving anything crazy except his vette, which was marginally above his income level, but not absurdly. Then Noah and him decided to get together and give the rental thing a shot.
I love this advice and I totally agree. Those are the same things I wish I had done better when younger
How this channel only has 800k subscribers I just can't figure out.
You and Matt are TH-cam OG's and I remember watching your stuff since the beginning of time, lol.
Looking forward to seeing the end result man, good work.
Great advice rob. Loved seeing this video!
Great words Rob. Bless you man
Great advice rob, thank you.
Love your channel rob, and you are a very good person.
All great advice. I am slightly conflicted on the rent vs buy depending on your situation, but makes sense. Travel and treat people well, definitely something to take to heart.
People forget, there has never been and will never be, equality of EFFORT. Someone is always going to outwork you and you will outwork someone else. Keep smashing it Rob. Keep grinding.
Good topics, thanks for sharing your advice, Rob.
Btw, the sound quality in this one was much better than the previous (with Kiara) in that location/juice bar of yours.
Solid advice Rob.
Have new respect for you. Great video!
Thanks for the advice Mr. Spaghetti!
Really appreciate this video
Thank you Rob. 🙏🏻
Advice he wishes he had 20 years ago: Dump the vette.
The Vette just needs some Texas speed motor parts and a fasterprom supercharger and meth kit then it will be amazing
@@stevenplaskett7728 if he would have dumped it 20 years ago he could probably have over 100k in his pocket.
@@dan.r9220 idk, if you factor how much he’s made from the corvette (including the DVD’s, all the TH-cam content, and all the publicity the car gave him for people to start watching all his other stuff) I bet he’s made more money on it than spent. All that, and he’s actually enjoyed working on it, which is hard to put a price on.
@@THEKNIGHT108 yes. I was being funny ahaha. It boosted his career and made him tons of profit. It's just funny that he's dumped well into 100k to build it.
@@dan.r9220 my b, take things too seriously sometimes. You’re totally right 😂
This was a great list. I was the one who purchased a home early and it was a great education but it did also cause trouble.
I really like traveling with those who I can glean from.
Yeah Rob. Fight the machine!
Good advice Rob!
👍
Awesome Advice Rob👍
I agree with all of the advice you gave. I paid next to nothing for my engineering degree and worked hard on school and worked and getting experience before I graduated. I saved a long time and bought a house during the recession when prices bottomed out. Money in the bank gives you many opportunities. I also agree to take advantage of traveling before having kids. Lots of amazing places to see and explore.
Definitely travel when you're young. We were lucky in our early 30s we lived in Taipei and Amsterdam for a year - on my employer's dime. My wife got to travel all around Asia and while we were in Europe we went someplace new/fun every weekend - about half local in Holland and half train/plane to the rest of Europe including a ski trip to France.
What did you work if you don't mind me asking?
Long time fan Rob. I’m 22 and this video was helpful thank you!
Well said Rob.
Great advice, Rob.
You have good advice here. I think the last tidbit about hanging out with good and successful people will both make you better, and open more opportunities. I added the successful, but I think you left it unsaid.
I'm loving the new background with full of whiskey 👍
One of the BEST videos to watch has the LEAST amount of views, Thanks for putting this video up rob.
This is actually very good advice, very good video. Do more of these videos because you have the platform. I don't, yet. You do now. Pass your knowledge on to this who will listen.
Best part for me was the fact about getting loaned money when you don’t need it. Like Rob said...When you need it, you won’t be able to get it. As stupid as that sounds that’s the absolute truth. So when I don’t need money, that’s when I start pulling low interest loans. You can always give the money back.
Nice job Rob.
Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
Good video Rob!
Good video Rob
Really liked this video, go out there and be a nice person!
Compound interest is what it is all about.
I'm younger and agree with almost everything Rob said which makes me feel good. Rent vs buying does change by region. In the Midwest mortgage is often cheaper than renting. You can buy a house out this way and pay 1k or less for a starter home.
Sound advice. Hard to follow but the hard road always is.
1) Save! Start young!
2) Travel when your young!
[Scratching my head]...Rob, I know I'm not a smart person, but this is a bit confusing to me.
You can travel (especially domestically within the US) for relatively little money, especially when sharing costs with friends. I would have framed the financial points as "create budgets for yourself...and stick to them!" You can save money while also putting aside a bit for leisure, but you absolutely must know what money you'll be bringing in and what money you'll be spending on a monthly/annual basis. I'm an accountant and even I didn't focus on this until later in my 20s. The earlier you start doing this, the better.
@@bbart609 I agree with your point; however, when Rob expounds on getting your passport and traveling abroad it becomes clear he means the kind of traveling the Mrs & I did for a few years after marriage (which is not conducive to savings).
It just seemed confounding to my simple mind after hearing his presentation.
-although, I must say we have had trips to foreign lands for less than $1,000/wk/each; that is quite do-able for anyone that doesnt require 3 star amenities in beautiful locations
@@thursdaybird True, I usually picture European (or other continents) travel as prohibitively expensive. But it can be done affordably if you're creative.
This was the smoothest plug yet!
Top advice
Being from VA I was suprised to hear rob say OBX
Still waiting on the finale to Sorted!!!!
Appreciate the advice mr spaghetti
I am 10 years older than Rob and he is right. I made the same mistakes. It just makes it all that harder to come back. Save money every month. Be around people that make you better. Work two jobs for 20 years. Most importantly, enjoy life!
Awesome vlog
Great advice. Retired a 45 thanks to compounding interest and buying everything with cash. Including all my houses. While friends were driving new luxury cars. Big homes and are all still working and in debt. Now I drive anything I like and travel everywhere
Average income or significantly above through hard work & long hours?
Thanks for being a good guy man lol way to keep it real
Being nice is what you're supposed to do, don't do it because it may benefit you later, do it because=CHARACTER
Hindsight, hard to be smart when you’re young and stupid. Rob, love you and the channel, thanks for the excellent content.
ROB SPAGHETTI shares his advice for his recipes!!!
The shoveling one is how I bought my first (and technically second) car. Would shovel in Brooklyn since I was 12 or 13, short ass driveways and very wealthy people, and we would go early so we had people when they were leaving for work. Didnt spend my money and when I turned 16 worked part time through school. Bought a miata at 18 ($3k) even though I wanted a BRZ or FRS ($20k) thought it better to learn stick on a car I could beat to death. Bought a corvette at 21 ($25k) and didnt need a loan for either car. Saving money is huge and easy to do, but making it is a bit harder for sure, but possible and obtainable. Friends now are asking me about cars at the age of 23 and im shocked they dont have 8k saved for a down payment with real jobs... Current car is still the Miata as a project and a Lotus Elise and I am 23
Great video rob ! I hope we meet one day. Will share the video
Today Mr. Spaghetti tells us how to make ravioli the way mama always used to.
"Friends come and go, Family is forever" Family should ALWAYS come first! Sadly, I know a person would rather spend the Holidays with his friends instead of his Elderly Father...........
So true.
But its perfectly fine to buy 200 dollar belts and 1200 dollar maresses, just as long as they pay rob to advertise them, unbranded name watches that cost five hundred bucks, five dollar belts from a thrift store hold your pants up , a five dollar watch still tells the same time.
PRACTISE WHAT YOU.PREACH Robert
Amen!
Papa Rob giving his attentive children some valuable lessons
It’s only good advice if people take it ! Sound advice Mr Rob
Dave Ramsey life style is the way to go!
Rob! Put all your money into Blockbuster and AOL, my cousins got a hot tip!
And GM and Kmart
4:26 That $10-15/hr minimum wage guess by Rob made me curious. I knew he must have been guessing NY minimum wage instead of federal, so I looked it up. NY apparently has a $12.50 min for most areas, and $15/hr for Long Island for some reason, with the intent to raise the whole state to $15 over the next couple of years. California has a $14/hr minimum. (NY and CA are two of the most populated and highest cost of living in the US)
Here in Ohio our minimum wage is $8.80/hr. That's quite a large difference from the above places. US Federal minimum wage is only $7.25. It's pretty wild to consider that there are states that have their minimum wage at basically double what the US Govt requires it to be, meanwhile there are *17* states that follow the federal minimum at $7.25 instead of raising it for their state. Interestingly, Georgia and Wyoming both have state minimum still set at $5.15 (which means they're required to follow federal.)
Love your accent rob.
Ironically my first car is a c7. Bought it at 24. 6 years ago. I did invest in a duplex that apperciated over 150k in a year and a half that also have a roi of 56k annually. I also never traveled before. I am 30 now that just discovered credit churning that pays for travel for free. First trip booked to japan this year. I do not buy new phones but I do buy some designer bags. Never clothing though. Very sound advice from robert. Thankfully im doing most of the things he is advising.
Can you tell me more about that credit churning??
I was expecting you to say get at least 3 speeding tickets before your 21st bday :)
Love your honesty, you talk about winning and losing!
Definitely travel when you are young, if you find it difficult to speak to the opposite sex then travel! Guess what!!...you then have things to just naturally talk about, you become interesting, interesting is attractive!
I’m a nice guy but as a young guy I thought cars and abs were the winner to the opposite sex... guess what!... being an interesting person goes a long way! Be interesting and able to hold a conversation!
the basement audio is much better today
I hope to guide my son on my past mistakes
Similar regret not starting to invest until my late 20’s. If I’d have started at 18, we would have a lot more money
That drinking room looks dusty! Lol bet you can’t wait for the construction dust to end!!! Imagine living in the mess lol your lucky to have the apartment!
U right
Any advice for the editors of sorted?
I think #1 should be travel and #2 save/invest. Because $1000 can stretch so much further for a 22-year-old than $2000 can for a 30-year-old.
Today Mr Spaghetti teaches what kind of sauce he would have used on his meatballs if he were younger
100%%%%%%% this is coming from someone in the navy. Been in 7 years and have been to over a dozen countries from Philippines to dubai. I grew up in a small town and traveling has truly opened up my eyes to what the world really is and whats actually possible to do when you get out of your hometown. My life vs is my highschool friends that never left is night and day difference. Also those not interested in the military the Philippines and Malaysia are stupid cheap countries to go you think you're poor in the states you'll be a millionaire in those countries. Just get out of your hometown meet people from different states and different countries and expand your way of thinking.
You remind me of one of my favorite bosses.
Holy shit dude how long is it gonna take for you to hit 800k
He has been on 799k for like 2 months now LOL
@@jacquesroberts7664 🤣🤣🤣
Albert Einstein, not known for his investing , once said that "compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it... he who doesn't... pays it."
Rob for President 2025!
When are you going to do a final new house tour?
The average house price in my city is 700k USD. For young people now, they need to save at least $500 p/w to stay at 0 due to house prices increasing by 100% every 10 years. So young people now need to invest or save at least $700 p/w so they can afford to buy at the age of 30. Now the cost of travel has gone up, so a week in many countries would be at least $4k USD. Plus rent and accommodation expenses are so high that a small house in a bad area in my city is $500 USD p/w. So the average young person now needs to earn a minimum of $1500 USD if renting if they want a good future.
Rob, I may have missed you comment on Sorted, but is it over? Seems like maybe the files are lost/corrupt or something?
I’ve never been this early before
I love when rich people try to act broken like Rob lmao
today rob tells you how to preserve and take care of your spaghetti.
Agree 100% except-only go to fancy college if you're doing medical? Friend=(Well I went Penn!) Me= (well you're check ain't bigger than mine ;)
