Transcript

In case your parents didn't teach you about money, here's everything I did the day I turned 18 years old to set me up to win in life. And because I followed these rules, I now have perfect credit and over a million dollar net worth at 26 years old. Starting off with number one, you're gonna open four free bank accounts. The first one is gonna be a checking account. The next is a high yield savings account. Then we have a brokerage account. And then within the brokerage account, you are going to open a Roth IRA. A checking account is where your money goes in and out of. A high yield savings account is where you're going to save money while gaining interest. And then your brokerage account and your Roth IRA is where you're going to invest your money and watch your money grow. The next thing I would do is start tracking your money because the only way to be successful with your money is to know exactly how much you make, spend, and invest. And if you need help doing that, my budget tracker is linked in my bio. The next thing I want you to do is start building your emergency fund. And this is money that you have set aside and don't touch unless you have an emergency. And I want you to start with a thousand dollars, but eventually, you should save up to the point where you can cover three to six months of your expenses. This next thing is so important to start doing at a early age, and that is building your credit as well as good credit habits. So I want you to go ahead and apply for your first credit card and start using it, but I want you to treat that credit card like a debit card. You never spend money you don't have, you never carry a balance, and you better pay any interest. Next up, I want you to focus on learning at least one high value skill, whether it's content creation, editing, coding, using AI, something that can make you more money. And if you don't know where to start, I always recommend starting with sales. The last thing I want you to do is to go get a gym membership and do your best to look your best because as someone that grew up overweight and has lost over 50 pounds, I can promise you that looks fucking matter. People treat you differently. You will be more confident in yourself and because of that, you will end up making more money.
