Don't Blow Your Money After School #shortsAdded:
The third thing that I wish I didn't do after leaving school was blow all my money. So, this kind of ties into what I said earlier. I thought I'd be a millionaire by now, stupid of me. Um, there was this one little people I knew he said that was just stuck in my head when I was like 19, where he said he would spend his money like a fool because I'm going to make it back. Well, I didn't make it back.
>> [laughter] >> I should have invested more. I should have been smarter. And this is what every generation ahead of us tells us, but we're all too stupid to listen and the cycle repeats itself. So, guys, break the cycle. Listen to the successful adults when it comes to finance, the finance bros on YouTube. I don't know, man, just do your research.
Just become financially literate in your early 20s and do not think you're special like I did. Like me thinking I'm special wrecked havoc on my finances. A lot of us aspirational people have these huge egos and we think we're immune to mortality or being regular, but we're not. Like if this resonates with you, ground yourself and operate like a normal person until you achieve what you need to. But, um, quick investing advice, gold, solid stocks, keep away from meme coins. I don't touch crypto. Anything that claims to have a high ROI or will get you rich fast is for scamming poor people.
Like broke people want to get rich quick. The smart people are taking it slow and they accumulate their wealth over decades. So, sorry I burst your bubble, but you're most likely going to have to do that. I just truly believe that tangible things and traditional safe investments like index funds and metals, those are where the money's at. Like they're all I play for the most part. I put a few meme investments on here and there, but I don't expect much out of them. But, yeah, slow and steady wins the race. So, keep that in mind.
