- Nicholas Alston, 27, earns $51,000 a year. He splits his time between Canton, Michigan, where he is based as a flight attendant, and Columbus, Ohio, where he opened a restaurant during the pandemic. Alston always dreamed of opening a food business, and by mid-2020 he had enough saved from his full-time job to launch his ghost kitchen, Clutch Handheld Breakfast. In August 2021, Alston temporarily closed his restaurant to increase his flying hours and save money for the next phase of his business.

Living On $51K A Year In Michigan & Ohio | Millennial Money
Nothing but respect for this man. He works hard, saves, invests, loves his family. I hope for nothing but the best for him.
Thank you fo your kind words
Finally a relatable salary! CNBC we need to see more of this. This man is going places.
LITERALLY lol
i make $ 23 a hour $50,000 so high pay few hours
The goal is to help people aspire and learn how to also make MORE/better money and learn how to budget it.
Exactly... Tired of the "Living off $6 Million a year" videos.
@Malcom x Jr Who are the Henrys?
He's a hustler with a business, a paying job, investments, and savings. Man is on the road going ABOVE his million-dollar figure. Hope he succeeded with all of his ventures.
Graham will be here. He needs content.
Same content, over and over, one big loop.
For the people wasting their lives watching same content over and over.
Dude is killin it. So smart and wise
Thank you thank you. I'm going to keep on grinding and make my way towards my 10x goals we'll see how close I get.
Hope I can inspire others too
@@NicksDynasty How is your financial journey going brotha?
@@lifestraight hey! My net worth is solid, bought the food trailer, flight attendant pay is 27% higher I just need to make my business profitable
Was honored to be a part of the series and be able to share my crazy lifestyle and strategy for prioritizing saving and investing. I hope you all enjoy!
I wonder what Graham's going to say….
Keep up your hard work!!
Good work bro. I actually live down the street where your Clutch food place was in cbus. Small world
🙌🙌🙌
@@MikeBNumba6 Totally small word! wow, hope you can stop by one day when I'm back
Stay focus n your goals will happen👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿
His focus is amazing. He’s very goal oriented and sets really ambitious ones. Keep up the drive. This is very relatable.
Thank so much. I've always had goals and I love working towards them
@@NicksDynasty hey bro how is work life balance in your job.?
@@bloodwargaming3662 it's pretty good. In the beginning your work a lot but once you get the hang of it you can craft a great schedule. Usually I'd work 3 days then have 3-4 days off. Sometimes you can get a while week off each month . You can swap your trips around
Me also building a business does me I cut into my
I like him, he's relatable.
Hope a video about those living in Denver come out soon.
So glad you think so, thanks for watching
This is more realistic. Hate the 1 that say living on 6mills a yrs
It's graham Stephen, he has a TH-cam channel and is a super successful hardworking dude. He always reacts to these types of videos, so that's one of the reasons why he ended up on here.
anything is realistic
It's realistic. Many people don't believe they can do it though.
This guy is incredible! Love your drive and ambition especially at 27 years old. I worked with 27 year olds that still lived at home, nothing wrong with that but barely want to work or pay any bills, but they buy Gucci shoes 🙄 your hustle is real and I wish you nothing but success! You’re going to be very wealthy if you stay on this path.
Thank you so much! I hope to always have big drive and would love to inspire others in my generation to get out there and hustle
I care way more about enjoying life than having fancy material things.
investing requires good experience and knowledge to carry out a good and successful trade, I have lost a lot trying to trade all by myself May I ask which investments are good??>>>>
I understand your concerns, my friend. I recommend exploring passive index fund investing and expanding your knowledge in this area. Personally, I experienced both successes and challenges when initially seeking a reliable passive income......,
how do I get in touch with this consultant that assist??>>>>
STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS, that's whom i work with look her
Thanks for these recommendations.....,,,
I was watching another video and thought this guy looks familiar in the thumbnail. Oh, wait I know him we went to college together fellow Tiger from Mizzou! Hey Nick glad to see you are doing amazing things great success story!
I’m surprised you know her too. I’ve been making alot of profits investing with her for a few months now.
Omg hey!! Yes that's me!!! I'm glad you stumbled upon this video. I hope all is well with you! MIZ
Great! A CNBC profile that's not also a TH-camr!
Actually I'm a tiny one... Lmao
You can probably go out right now get a job cooking making 65K I year. The industry is crippled and this seems very risky coming from a guy who's had 2 food trucks in the past.
Location? Cause in most states that’s only “possible”, not “probable”
This guys seems like a genuinely cool guy. I didn’t realize flight attendants could make around $69 an hour. Love the entrepreneurial spirit too!
They don't. United Airlines pay the best in the US. They start you on $28,000 a year ... the average is $44,000. He's on the internet and he's telling lies. I know, what a shock! 😳
@@mrscreamer379 he works for delta. Pay scale information is readily available online for delta flight attendants. Their scale starts at about ~31/hour and caps at ~69/hour after 12 years of employment
Can confirm. Nicholas is a cool guy.
@@mrscreamer379 I am not telling lies... There are a lot of resources that don't display the correct earning of Flight Attendants.. We earn more than just our hourly flight pay
I had no idea flight attendants could earn that much too until I got the job. The airlines make Billions so I guess they can afford it.
Thank you so much for your kind comment.
Flight attendant, running a ghost kitchen, flipping items on ebay and in the future wants to have investment properties... Can't knock the hustle. Keep it up!
I live in Toronto, Canada but work at Pearson Airport and working in that industry honestly is too much fun. Nicholas is an extremely hardworker and I respect that a lot.
The industry is so fun!!!
I would love to spend more time in Canada on my off days, the country is so fun!
Toronto is an amazing city
Would love to see updates on stories like these a few years down the line, based on his hard-work and dedication, he'll be killing it!
Yeah, do follow up episodes!
People have been commenting they want a person that has an income closer to average well here you go 😀
Here you are spamming as well, Incredible!! Must not have a day job.
No thanks
Here I am lol
Hope you enjoyed
I hope the Columbus, OH community shows up in DROVES at his kitchen/restaurant/food truck just to support this hard-working man making an honest living.
I hope so too! I can't wait to open back up!
@@NicksDynasty My people are in Columbus. Next time I need catering for anything I am calling you
@@severtone263 bet it up!
Same!!! I’m an Ohio State student and I’ll def go w my friends when they open up agai
@@leahsmith8363 can't wait to feed y'all!
Very relatable and I can stan that. His parents raised a good one. I hope he’s thinking about generational wealth with his girlfriend, hopefully his wife soon.
good guy wish you the very best my brother keep grinding!
This guy’s hustle & heart is 🔥 😍
Thank you thank you!!!
now is the perfect time to get into this industry. This use to be a selective business but I have seen that many airlines are hiring flight attendants! Great story.
I'm glad you enjoyed my story, thanks for watching Vikki
This was a great, relatable story!! Keep grinding man!!!
lmao, u think Steve JOBS started out rich?...lol..
@@MsDesiree39 what does that have to do with my comment?
A hustler. Wishing him all the best. Love these relatable episodes...from a fellow midwesterner ✌🏾
Great episode!
Thanks for watching!!
I love this episode. Nicholas is taking thing one step at a time and I think he is going to do great with the business.
What an interesting lifestyle. Obviously a creative, mature young man living his best life.
Thanks you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed
Looking forward to trying Clutch one day!
This has been one of my favorite ones to watch. Absolute respect.
Come on down to Columbus and maybe Detroit in the future!!
We have reopened now!
Love watching these. Big shoutout to Nicholas, a true hustler!
Thank you so much! I always try to keep the hustle going
It's amazing because he is a flight attendant and he's having a good time finding his love
Congrats my brother 👏🏾👏🏾.. keep your head up!!
LOVED this one!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!!!
Nicholas is such an inspiration! He knows that hard work and consistency are the most important characteristics for success. He has his eyes set on his future and I wish him the best of luck!
Like button smashed
I absolutely adore him. He’s got a great attitude and love his ambition. Wishing you the very best 🙏🏼💖
Way to go brotha!! Your work ethic is inspiring!!💜💜
Thank for the love. I hope to keep on growing
@@NicksDynasty You guys really must be brothers, both accounts made 15 years ago
@@Archetype2k It's just me
I really respect this man to make an honest living at a young age!!
I really appreciate that Dave! Thank you
His work ethic is amazing and I hope he get his business up and running again soon!
Keep it up 👏🏿
Clutch handheld breakfast is listed as temporarily closed on Google Maps. However, I added CHB to 3 of my Google lists. I'll make the drive to Columbus to support.
Omg Im thinking of starting a business in a ghost kitchen too! So glad y’all shared this!
My Boy Nicholas! You did it!! So proud of you!!!
(Flight Attendant's income varies depends on how many hours they work.)
I'm glad I could do right by you
I wish I lived in Ohio so I could support his restaurant! He's on his way to greatness.
If you are ever around we'd be happy to serve you.
How is his monthly spending over $5k when he makes $51k a year (presumably pre-tax?)
Same thing I’m wondering
I think 51k is from just being a flight attendant. He may have some cash flow from business even if it isn't profitable?
Yeah this doesn’t make sense, 5k spending is 60k a year and 51k def doesn’t sound like $35 an hour
@@raymondfeng521 with 35 an hour you can definitely make 51k, let's say you work 40 hrs a week it's 1400 each week. I guess it's 51k from his normal job where he doesn't even work 40 hrs a week so make that, some cashflow from his business and savings
@@raymondfeng521 If he is making 35/hr as a flight attendant this would mean if he is full time he would be making around 72k/year ($35*2080 hours as a traditional full time employee) . I am guessing that he is not full time. Or that the airline doesn't provide certain benefits.
It was such a lovely video. I'm sure after some advertising in the video his business will turn profitable soon. I have been doing my day job and other side business as well, etc.
This is awesome! I would love to support Clutch in someway! Love a hustle!
Wow, really resonates. I moved from Columbus to Detroit after college then a few years there moved to DC. It's a great city, I'm so happy here and sure he will be too.
Wow it seems like we're making all the same moves that's so crazy. Can't wait to make it out there
i know your rebt skyrocketed in DC!
@@k.h.a.l.i.l. It did, but so did my income. I'm actually able to put more in the bank now
@@TennisGvy that's great. i'm in nyc and wanted to move to dc this past summer. rent here is high as well of course, but since i've been in my rent stabilized apt for 5 yrs, my rent would isnt so bad and would increase about $500 if i got a similar place in dc. so i decided i couldn't afford to make that move.
This is a very great episode. Graham will definitely appreciate him.
Hi Graham, Jack, and Alex
Kudos to him! I wish him nothing but success!
Thanks you so much!!
Stay tuned
Dude is living the dream, I wish I could travel more
He will make it large !
This is so Clutch!
YEEEAAAAH SO Clutch
Thanks for watching
@@NicksDynasty you’re welcome Bro
*Great video. We all strive towards financial stability and a better life. It is easy to achieve this through the right investment, by living frugally and budgeting. I’m glad I learnt early in life to work hard for financial freedom*
In my opinion, venturing into a good investment, is not just a strategy for generating passive income but a profitable saving method for future expenses. Those who fail to make the right decisions early in life end up regretting. Nevertheless, investing can be difficult and risky doing it solely. For this reason , I advise on seeking help from professionals(financial advisor). It’s not just watching videos and reading investment book but the challenge is using it well.
@@callmevictoria9511 I’m truly inspired by your words. I’m very interested in investing and I’ve a good sum of money which I’m ready put in with the right information. My fear is losing my money in a wrong investment. For this reason, I’m willing to listen to your suggestions and ideas on how to invest wisely.
This is just the right information towards financial freedom as well as wealth creation. For so many years I thought working for other people was the only way to live comfortably, but I came to think differently when I started working with *Donald Nathan Scott* (a registered financial adviser residing in United States). Now I gain a lot working with him.
To be financially free with a passive income source which exceeds your expenses, you need to invest. It’s not just watching videos and reading investment books anymore but for positive results, work with an expert. I used to think that I can make more money investing on my own without any loss, but I had better luck working with a *financial advisor* . I’m glad I chose to work with *Donald Nathan Scott* and I have no regrets with my decision.
@@cathenido1624 Please , how do I connect with your financial planner( Donald Nathan Scott) ?
Hello from Canton, Michigan 👋
Someone correct if I am wrong but how is $35/hourly equaling $51k/annually? Should that not be about $24?
Nobody said flight attendants work 40 hours a week. They are only paid for hours in the air.
Wow impressive good luck to him
Love this story - hardworking hustler with a dream. More power to you Nicholas!
I agree... But there was no mention of starting a family??? This dude is a great example of how a special skill can pay well. What about family starting???
I love how focused he is!
No idea why this year old video popped up on my feed... however, while watching this I just kept thinking "man, this story sounds so familiar". then once I heard the 'food truck' part I had to look it up and sure enough this guy was on fairly early Financial Audit before it even hit 50k subscribers. Pretty wild connections. Also, really cool to see more of the food truck business side of things!
Thanks for stopping by the first part of my story!! The making fo the move to the food truck
Good luck in your new business!!!
Thank you so much!!

Okemos, Michigan baby
Nick has an incredible future! Thanks for sharing your story 🌟
I'm glad you enjoyed the episode. It was really fun working on this with them. So happy I was able to share
Great, interesting story. He is ambitious, and I hope things go well for him.
Thank you so much! I hope to reach all my dreams
Stay tuned for more updates. I make lots of videos
Congratulations and good for you. Greetings from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴.
Smart guy. I wish him the best for his side projects.
Thank you so much, hope to reach all my goals.
Stat tuned
Finally a great and relatable episode. Biggest issue holding some of us back is credit debt and I want to start chipping away at student loans, they're just so much relative to income. Savings are super important. Inspired to see how he's tackling multiple goals here
I like this feature, because he's a normal, regular guy making the most of his opportunities. There's no "catch" or unusual boost he's getting besides living with his parents part-time, which is normal these days. This is a lot more inspiring than someone who might be super successful, but when you lift the hood you see they got all this extra help most people don't get.
Super encouraged by Nicholas' side hustle dreams and hustling through. I remember those days grinding after my full time job (hustling 2 side jobs) and finally paid my student debt of 35k in a year and quarter. Good luck to you man! Big DREAMs for this man right here.
Great job!
Thank you!!!
You have a great attitude and bright future. Keep it up!
Your are awesome brother 👍🏻
Thank you for saying that! Much appreciated
Super likable guy with a plan and if he has an Amex Platinum, he manages his credit well. Keep on the path Nicholas, you are doing a great job.
Woohoo! Can’t wait for Graham to react!
Very inspiring! He's on his way to success! Wishing him all the best on his journey!
Thanks for sharing Nicolas !
Thanks for watching!
Loved this guy! I want to see him re-appear on this show!
Love that you're showing what kind of lifestyle is possible with enough hard work and strategy. Also love seeing those Cbus backdrops
The Amex Platinum!! He know’s what’s up 😎
Good job, Nick. You seem like such a mindful young man who is very easy to cheer for! 😁
Thank you so much Robert!
Successful people don't become that way overnight. most people see at a glance-wealth, a great career, purpose-is the result of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life..
Cryptocurrency is bringing different revolution in the world economy. Depending on one stream of income had never made any millionaire and earning check's don't put you on Forbes.
Investing in B it c oin has become my family major source of income. My family is fully invested in it not minding the crash our account manager still makes us profit constantly
Investment is truly the quickest path to financial freedom
Assets that can make you rich are Stocks,Bitcoin and Real estate investment but Bitcoin is most profitable.

Freaking Small world. I literally live down the street from the Clutch food place.
I never had their food, but they had a sign right off the freeway right before you enter my apartment complex.
Crazy. The fact that he closed it down explains why I no longer see that sign.
Aye Cbus!!
My signs got taken a while ago too
hope you can come and try when I'm back!
We just reopened and are now located in the "SoHud" neighborhood
He’s saving a lot and investing. Good for him
Thank you thank you!!!
This dude is awesome, and he lives such a unique lifestyle flying all over. He's got a great road ahead of him.
College has become a big scam these days. Going in debt of money more then 10k for a bachelors degree is just not worth it.
It's only a scam if you have no idea what you want to do, or want to major in something that will net you 30k a year. If you want to be a Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, ect, it's well worth it.
It has become fashionable to look down on college these days. Fact of the matter is, college grads make far more money over their lifetimes than people with only a hs diploma. Be smart about your degree and you won't regret it.
A real go-getta right here!
Much Detroit love to you as many times as I've drove as a cab driver back and forth to the airport it's refreshing and sighting. I don't think that you should have to wait several years to be at $70 an hour I think within a good 2 years you should already be beyond at that rate putting your life at risk everyday. But I'm amazed that this is what they only pay those that fly our planes but I'm very proud of the young man that he is doing something I say he deserves more instead of 51,000 he should be right at about 75 to 99,000 🧐🤔💯‼️🌟🎉💎💰💰💰
one day i will be on this series
Just need to get a job first...
Can't wait to watch it
Thank you for watching mine
Speak it
Best of luck !
I’m single, no kids and I make $50,000 a year. 32% of my income goes to deductibles like health insurance taxes etc. So between rent and bills, I need to Doordash just to make sure things clear at the end of the month. The cost of living ( thanks to New Yorkers) have shot up. The only thing that has not gone up is my income, which is why I have to deliver DD.
if i made 50k a year where i live i would be filthy rich by now
@@blucow6677 Yes, that’s the catch isn’t it. I tried to transfer my position to a cheaper city and was told my salary who have to be adjusted ( lowered) because the salary for my position is lower in that city. Cost of living difference, is the nonsense they gave me. It’s like getting paid more if you live in San Francisco because it cost so much. It balances out, because it cost so much to live there, your salary doesn’t go that far. But like I said, the cost of living in my area has gone up, way up, so my salary doesn’t go as far as it should. We also didn’t get a raise for 2 years, they blamed it on Covid.
Wishing you good health & prosperity. Would be cool to see a follow up in 5 years 👍🏼
Yes! Come to DC, those breakfasts look amazing
Cool job
Very cool!
I'm glad youenjoyed it
@@NicksDynasty same ☺️
Thanks for sharing! I wouldn't have thought of a schedule/employment situation like this. But it's nice to see alternatives to a traditional 9-5 and a more relatable annual salary.
It works out so well because the job is flexible you can pick up hours and potentially give hours away
nice video
Super proud of you Cuz 🎉🎉🎉
THank you thank you cuzo
Love this episode!! Relatable salary, a hustler and entrepreneurial mindset!
This guy seems smart & likable‼️Wishing him tons of success 🌟💰
The best.
This is a goood one
I'm so glad you enjoyed!! Thanks for watching
This is soooo cool, fantastic job! 👏👏👏
Very cool guy, well done! I live near canton as well!
