Kevin O’Leary Reacts: How A USPS Worker Spends His $90K Income | Millennial Money
Whoa Mr wonderful himself reacted to my video this is crazy!!! and gave me a 9.5 rating um thank you so much for the kind words
Congrats!
@@DiannaCarney thanks
Blessings
My friend
You are a great role model and hard worker. Congratuations! You deserve it.
Love your mindset and hard work. Too bad more people can't be like you!
I’m late but I live in Memphis and Jordan was on my grandma’s Mail route during the pandemic. HE was he reason my grandma never received her medicine late. Super timely guy and always had a smile on his face. I can’t thank him enough!!!
Awesome !, you should send a letter to your local post office station where he worked!We love to get positive Reviews 💕🙏🏾
That is soo cool
Not really in his control, but I’m sure he did his best.
@@MrHighyellowred I think you misread it
Memphis post office is still the arm pit of the system, along with the entire city
Guys like this are the backbone of the country and deserve a lot more appreciation.
thanks
Also better pay, benefits, and more time off as well as opportunity for advancement.
Absolutely!!
Lmao so enslaved.
The Post Office is a beast. People don't understand. Every job has a salary but with the Post Office you can double or even triple that base. 12 hour shifts is common for the Post Office and if you work both your layoff days that can be good money. But you spend all your time at work. Nor much time to enjoy life but that's the Post Office
You mix this with good money management and some good investment and year after year you can shave a hour off your day
Any regular carrier that works their off day makes double time for the whole shift. So roughly anywhere from 42 an hour to 60.
life is about decisions. some jobs or for some people and some are not.
@@spjr99 true
In my area, a postal worker starts his route for about 1-2 hours, then goes somewhere to hanger out, and does the last hour.
Mr O'leary - I saw this as a clip on my feed and had to find you on TH-cam to support and acknowledge your incredible approach, and more importantly, the ethic and attitude of the young man who is really a hero of the pandemic. Thank and god bless you both!
Ur nuts. This guy has been taught to be a slave. He could of worked that overtime for 4 months and invested that money and made 150,000$ in short time in crypto or regular stocks during covid. Kevin oleary is really saying this guy needs someone to teach him how to have money work for him. Smh. Straight slave.
I’m a USPS worker for 22 years in Jacksonville , Fl I made 65,000 in 2021!, I’m hoping by signing up for overtime to make at least 80k!, I’m so proud of you!, being young with a strong work ethic🥰🥰🥰🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Why not just become a trucker?

@@yaggaprince With such a positive attitude, I'm sure you can start a TH-cam channel to show others how to replicate your successes. 😏
@@yaggaprince You are depressed.
@@Jonathan-Pilkington It is rather sad. Once a man could work a 9-5 and have a home, a car, a wife and kids. Now he must work his life away just to get close. Is this life? Is this what we stab each other for, so our masters can laugh in greed? Left, Right they are just marching orders to your own doom. A man chooses and a slave obeys.
@@BearingMySeoul ur mad go get a job lol
I make between 68-71k yearly depending on how much overtime I decide to do. I work 8 hour days 5 days aweek. I'd much rather spend that extra time with my wife & kids. Plus the wife makes 5-7 k less than I do. At 35 my house is completely paid for and I have no debts or loan. Learning financial responsibility is a must. My son is 11 & I'm already teaching him about saving & spending.
That’s absolutely awesome Enrique. It’s important to teach the children. I wish I would’ve learned this stuff in school. They should teach it in school too. But they don’t. So we need more like you to continue teaching the next generations forward how to save, invest, and learn to spend accordingly.
What Job do you do?
A man with work ethic who can’t be stopped. No ‘victim’ mentality, no hatred for the world in his heart. That’s a man I’d put my life on the line for.
Mr. Wonderful getting teary eyed talking about the family and teamwork,?!?
Great work ethic…. Great example
Mr wonderfool used the old obama onion in the pocket trick. Teary eyes on Q
Such a great role model 👏 ❤️ from his dad to himself, family for his community. Great and simple practical steps. 👏
This honestly just gave me a completely different outlook. I appreciate this.
Memphian here too! Got to represent! This guy is doing an awesome job, and right now he makes 90K, and he will easily be making 150K, 200K, 350K plus as his side hustles and his learnings take off!

Jordan Myers is truly an honorable man! Proud of this fella and his beautiful family who are setting such a good example to others.
This is so awesome. Great to see men with a great work ethic, good financial acumen and love for his family. Stay blessed🙌 😇
Self taught and gritty. Put his whole town on his back, at 25 miles a day

@@yaggaprince you didn’t know that BEFORE covid. Everyone can be a millionaire if we know the future.
@@yaggaprince I have to agree. My sister worked for the post office and I'm just thinking the whole time,how does he even spend time with his family or his money?
I love this. Covering the regular joe is extreme well-worth watching. I wish him nothing but the best.
Thanks

@@yaggaprince true but that’s better than the nothing that most People are doing. If he sacrifices a few years 1-3 it’s ok. You just can’t do it forever.
@@yaggaprince Partially facts. I notice he consumes some materialism that aren't necessary. If he focused more of his free time on trading stocks and put most excess money into that, he would no longer be a slave. Mfs love to say "keep saving in IRA!" holy crap is that such terrible advice, people completely disregard the potential of the stock market. Always saying save,save,save, not LEARN to make more money in your free time. LEARN MORE, SAVE LESS.
Not a regular joe. He's has the work ethic of the 1%. He's working towards a mass of passive income which is goals.
Outstanding! Glad to see a young man out here is hustling as hard as he can to escape the middle class into the upper class. March on brother!
He’s hustling to escape the lower class to the lower middle class bro 😄
I had kind of assumed postal workers were underpaid (certainly less than 45k), especially considering all the turmoil USPS has been subjected to recently. I’m so glad to hear they are paid reasonably well, since they certainly deserve it. These folks work so hard and do the public a great service. Wish we funded them adequately.
Too much of the funding goes to middle management and office staff
The overtime adds up. Most mailmen are too old to work those kind of hours
I love these videos of Mr. Wonderful giving his wisdom! and kudos Jordan! Saving about half of your paycheck is incredible- you have a great work ethic and a great head on your shoulders! We started learning about finance and doing long term rentals as well! I do agree with Mr. Wonderful about not keeping a ton of cash, but investing it. Love these videos, very motivational! :)
Awesome young man. He a great role model. Thanks for sharing
What a great guy and great dad. Great work ethic. Good job!
I like how he was excited to about him walking 25 miles a day… I don’t think he knows how exhausting that really would be…
It's far worse than just exhausting. It would ruin your feet and joints in a short time. Nothing to be happy about!
@@dlg5485 Actually it's a lot more harmful to be sitting all day in an office doing computer work. People live shorter lives when they sit many hours a day.
@@enriqueta56 Who said anything about sitting all day? Stay on topic!
Yup!
Gotta be real REALLY healthy and hydrated.
@@dlg5485 when u work a sedentary job..u r sitting most hours..thats what she meant. U may disagree but she wasn't off topic.
Yes sir 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 we love to see a hardworking man in these streets ! Hustling and taking care of his family !!
being a carrier is so hard… props to this guy
Great job young man. We need more like you 💯💯💯
Impressive young man! It’s good to hear these positive stories. I’m learning finance only in my late 40’s, but I’m also teaching my teenager what I’m learning so she gets the benefit of knowledge at a young age.
I started teaching my children about finance when they were in elementary school. Now in college they both have healthy savings accounts and good work ethics.
Pure hard work and intelligence, no entitlement or victim mentality. What a fantastic guy! Such a great example to our society.

@@yaggaprince I'm sure he has more money than you, you are the slave
100 percent agreed!
That was a backhanded compliment. 🙃
@@jenjenjinger facts
I feel like this is sorta sad though? He has to work so many hours that he doesn’t seem to have much time for himself, his mental health, or to truly spend with family. 12/13 hour work days 6 days a week is super unhealthy and it’s terrible that we live in a system where that’s encouraged and applauded. We work to live, we shouldn’t live to work. He seems like a great and hardworking dude for sure so my comment isn’t against him but this shouldn’t even be necessary.
I personally enjoying working .. I would never not work truly .. I spend time with my family all the time . I'm in the best sharp of my life physically and mentally.. I don't need to work this many hours truthfully I want to
yeah screw that make $24.44 target DC 3 days plus one overtime day so $50,000
I mean Jorge I worked I used to work 70+ hours a week in order to reach my goal I had so many setbacks but I am back in the saddle. I Have since had to cut down to 60-65 Hours. It is what it is. Life's difficult that is just the way it is.
He is blessed to walk.
He's doing what he has to (now), so he can do what he wants to later.
It all starts in the home, your dad was a fantastic influence in you life and your work ethics. But let's not forget it is you who decided that you were going to take this route! There are many that even with a dad at home get outside influences changing their life decisions and taking the easy or wrong path. Any strong determined individual can get on the right path if they want to no matter where you grow up!
I’m surprised by Mr. Wonderful’s reaction to this. Seems truly genuine.
Successful people don't become that way overnight. What most people see at a glance wealth, a great career, purpose is the result of hard work and hustle over time. pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life.
You are right, to be a successful person in life require him or her of hard work and Time
You are right. Been thinking of going into gold and cyptocurrency
@Benjamin I totally agree with you it has been an eye-opening experience for a lot of people.
She have changed my life and financial status for the best. All thanks to my aunty who introduced me to her. She is obviously the best, trading with her gives me joy of earning
I came about Tiffany by a friend of mine and that is how I keep on trading over three months now. She had really made name for herself
After studying the trajectory of great assets like real estate, dividend paying stocks of blue chip companies, gold, etc. my conclusion is that most great assets never come down to the price that you want them to so you can buy. Just buy the ones you can afford today.
I’m 28 and I’m just saving as much as I can. I’m patiently waiting to buy the real estate dip

It isn't as hard work when you love your job and have a work ethic! What a wonderful attitude. He saw opportunity and ran with it.
Jordan has such a good work ethic and he is a nice human being 🥰
Thank you
$90k is a lot but not enough for certain postal service jobs. I've seen the older mail carrier people around here and they get a lot of stress put on their bodies from the crazy amount of walking to doing it in all kinds of weather. I once had to put posters on doors in about a 1-2 block radius going house to house and my legs turned to jello...and I even lift weights...so it's a tough job.
Awesome
Keep these up.
Mr Wonderful is a Legend
working 12 hours a day walking 25 miles is healthy? sounds like he's being massively underpaid
90k a year especially in Memphis is incredible
Wow, $100/month for childcare...you guys are really lucky to have family close by, to do it, I pay $1600/month or more if my baby is sick and has to stay at home - that's $20K/year
Have you tried going to Social Services for Daycare financial help? I know in NC child care is free until June (unless they decide to continue it).
@@yumiko0017 I have not, thank you for the tip!
Seeing K. O'L in flip flops, shorts, and suit top and tie....makes me love this Shark even more LOLOLOL
I deliver pizza and make about 70k per year: its good to see someone on the delivery grind making it good.
Bro wtf fr?
@@rogeliobarraza1772 yeah. I averaged 52.5 hours a week last year. 27.979$ per hour (averages of course)
Theres also gas and car repair not taken out of there, but theres also cash not included in that 😉
@@Epidombe Bro I’m mind blown lol Never heard of anyone ever making that much delivering pizza. You need to be in an episode on here. Lmao 🐐
@@Epidombe what pizza place pays their drivers $28 an hr? def not Dominoes lol
@@Ray03595 def domino’s. My secret is to leverage OT. As I have found out, in WI when you hit OT you got to 1.5x pay, even on the road. So you actually get a 9$/ hour pay raise. Since youre busiest on weekends you basically guaranteed that pay increase for all of your hours on the weekend
Great story. Inspiring.
love the more relatable videos like this..
I love these videos, I watch shark tank all the time when I eat dinner. PLEASE start including the persons TH-cam channel in the description, they deserve it!

This was an amazing story. Wow 😯
25 miles a day! Amazing! More power to you!
Lot of people could learn from this guy 👏. Hard work gets you places.
Works 6 days a week and budgets $10 for food when he works. That alone is Approx. $280 how is the food portion of the budget graph only $220? Not even including groceries..Nonetheless awesome video, what a great work ethic and love the message.
Inspirational! Brother got it all figured out. Hope you reach your goal.
My lil bro can learn from both these gentlemans humble attitudes.
A great young man . Very smart people working together to build a great life.👍😎
Good job Jordan. Keep moving that mail and taking care of your family.

Excellent story - the millionaire next door (soon!) and Mr. Wonderful giving kudos! 9.5🤩
America glorifies unhealthy work/life balance so much. Working 12 hours and you need 8 to sleep. That leaves you with 4 hours to be with family, only if the schedule aligns. This is so toxic.
There are counties where you can make this money and have a good life too. Or counties where you don't need so much money to have a good life.
Only very few ppl think deeper into what's really happening. Trust me that schedule will break a body down. Overtime should be short term schedule. Something he is not telling on how he got the $ to invest. But ppl will say your jealous. I'm actually seeing for his age something is not adding up.
100%. Glorifying people burning themselves out to make a decent living in the richest country in the world is dystopian.
💛💛💛
Hey CNBC, could you include the link of the original vid in the description. i know i could just search it up but i'm lazy and it just makes sense for you to put it there
Lmao I missed Mr Wonderful’ reactions
Kevin looks like he's proud of him💯💰
i really love Kevin and his personality.
Nah you really shouldn’t. In an msnbc interview last year they were asking how he felt about people going from middle class to lower class due to the pandemic and he said “ I think it’s a wonderful thing people need to work harder”
Good video
25 miles a day? Jesus christ. I was reading the comments and thought that's what he do in car miles a day
They work hard now while they're young so they don't have to do it when they are 40, 50 and 60. These young people get it, so many people do not.
Cash-Flooowwwww. Love it Mr. Wonderful
GOD BLESS! LOTS OF PROSPERITY & HEALTH TO YOU & YOUR FAMILY!
What app do you use to track all the income and spending?
Shoutout to Jordan and his father and his mother!
This is crazy!
Facts!!
Why crazy
Nice shorts and flip flops, Kevin!
Sounds like a great dad. Good job Jordan
I can't imagine 12-hour days walking 25 miles per day. That is a pace for a young person. He says he wants out of the post office but if he was to get promoted to management he might want to reconsider. He and his wife seem to have their priorities straight. A lot of men pick a woman that is only interested in how she looks and what she can buy. I am glad he recognizes that his wife is doing her part.
Solid person and a solid video
wow inspirational
I like that he has on shorts and flip-flops
USPS you can make a lot of money! Put your time and hours in you'll live very comfortable!
9:06 i know he wanted to curse so badly LOL
