The bad news is you're on your own, but the cool news is you're on your own

[@nataSweet129]

is that a Taylor Swift quote?

[@tdot415]

Yes once you get used to idea of being on your own, life gets clearer and your achievements feel bigger cause they’re truly your own

[@rod5943]

The bad news is that you’re on your own and the bad news is that everybody around you has something to say about what you’re doing wrong. To that I say: There is no path, so walk wherever you feel like going and improve on things YOU feel you should improve on.

[@audrey06lee05]

Taylor 🥰🥰

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year.. Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

[@wilsonrichard440]

Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resource to guide beginners?

[@findingpath8362]

As a beginner, it's essential for you to have a mentor that is verified by finra and SEC to keep you accountable. I'm guided by a widely known financial consultant Stacey Macken

[@AIIG-zd5dx]

Wow, I'm supprised Stacey Macken is being mention here. I started off with 5K.... Now with massive portfolio highly recommended...

[@robertgreg6009]

This Woman has really change the life of many people from different countries and am a testimony of her trading platform

[@nissan38p69]

I met Stacey Macken at a conference in 2018 and we have been working together ever since.

[@hecl0980]

I'm turning 20 in just over 8 months, and this video really helped. Starting this year, I'm prioritising my health and working out, my passion for music and the trombone (I'm applying for a year in the military band) and my growing passion for fashion and political science (the latter of which i would like to make a career in). Thanks for the video, Tim! I'm certain this won't be the last time I watch it

[@user-ki4xw2rb8q]

So you just turned 19, and you are already thinking about turning 20

[@mistamop]

This video really helped me. As a 26 year old who still lives at home and has a ton of student debt, it’s really easy for me to feel like I’m falling behind and recently had a severe panic attack because of it. I now have the motivation to really try and change my circumstances. Thanks Tim :)

[@Deciverse]

Probably one of the most grounded "what I wish I knew" videos that I've seen personally. Love your style and editing touches in your vids too and this one was no exception. Good work man

[@joshuakim2341]

As someone who just recently turned 29 this past year thank you Tim for the advice! I really needed to hear the last one!

[@prashantmalyala]

A lot of creators will make videos about this kind of 20s life advice stuff, but this is probably one of the best distillations of it that I’ve seen. Never understood the attachment random internet people have to creators until my friend intro’d me to your channel, at first just for the fashion content. Thanks, Tim.

[@HarryHas]

The videos are looking amazing, Tim. 🔥

[@hayden4279]

As per usual, phenomenal inspiring stuff!

[@Zyw0o.o]

More content like this man pls, listening to u is a pleasure🙏

[@david3601bulls]

Tim, loved the video. Your style of content has always been super inspiring.

[@ianmoran8760]

As someone who's about to enter college, I love these life advice videos that you've made. Thank you Tim!

[@ronharrodjr]

I love this video. This calmed me tremendously.

[@Xo.trash.7]

Dawg, im so glad you exist. This shit all genuinely made me feel better, i went through a really bad breakup a few days ago and i really needed to see this

[@futureow6043]

Hope you are feeling a bit better already! The pain will go away, trust me :)

[@nicollastessan]

I love It! Thanks Tim!

[@PoorlyUtilized]

Do more of these every once in awhile, maybe do a list of book suggestions

[@abdoundiaye8112]

Probably your best video ever, thank you tim ⭐️

[@daniel_stupid]

thank you for this video!!!

[@Otijames]

loved this!

[@YenNguyen-gh1ov]

Thanks a lot, I'm 21 and I'm feeling lost most of the time, your video is treasurable to me. Thank you!

[@jaydeegabrillo1840]

Been following you since I was in college and I especially agree that not caring about what others think is top 1 on my list that I regret. I enjoy life a lot better now that I am true to myself. I am in my mid 20s and married with child. A lot of responsibilities on my end but still managing to take A LOT OF RISKS. Things have been working out pretty good lately but I'm not stopping here and will do more not only for myself this time but for my family as well.

[@JustMattyEntertainment]

I'm in a similar position, I have a child under 1 so I'd love to hear the kind of risks you're taking as I'm feeling a little slumped!

[@jaydeegabrillo1840]

I was laid off and had plenty of bills to pay and I didn't know what to do. I was desperate to find a source of income. After getting laid off I invested the money I saved over the years and created a small business (keep in my mind that I had mouths to feed as I am a breadwinner). I, of course, found a better job with better pay. The small business has been readying me and my wife to open a new business. I had a lot of help along the way but it has changed the way my mind works. I don't want to get in deep with it but I hope this will help you. I'm still trying to build a better life so I can only speak for my experience.

[@yashieratiullaofficial6620]

Such a legend. Aye, thank you for this 👌

[@jonathanbennett8065]

[@zakirkhatri2902]

thank you so much you save me life. I enjoy more present

[@tabaandy843]

Thank you brother

[@zyoma_bestie]

I would not understand the future me, just as the past me would not understand the present me. Only the present makes us happy. The most I would advise my past self is to have a good time, do what you like and don't worry about anything. Just be happy.

[@RymndDxtr]

👍 nice thank you Tim

[@bartellacreative1968]

[@jerikhowijaya8844]

[@leehurst172]

That element of "you're right on time" hit in just the right way❤️

[@murarirajan1860]

Fresh into my 20s!!! Excited and scared! Thanks for the video mate! Super useful ❤

[@BenjaminTJames]

Always enjoy a life advice video, Tim. I'd also say that although it's good to think of your future self, it's important not to end up sacrificing your present self to it; life's too short not to cut yourself some slack in the moment!

[@Isagiyochi395]

I just graduated as an electrical engineer at the age of 22. I’m very into fashion and am gonna build a brand called asad alex (based off of my Arabic and American name). My goal is to flip the world upside down and change it for the better. I’ve noticed that everything seems to have become so degenerate and over the past few years I have become more religious and changed my ways. This video is proof that I will accomplish my goals and so everyone that sees this comment I want you to know that I will achieve my goals inshallah and you can achieve whatever you want in this world if you put in the work and dream big enough.

[@r3dsnow757]

Inshallah brother

[@bbbbbbb303]

Thank you so much for sharing, Tim!

[@RyuuOmaroGD]

Thank you.

[@Addypro99]

Thank You Tim I’m turning 21 in feb and life had started to take its toll on me thinking i am 21 and i have nothing together, hence , I had started running From problems . Harder choices are just harder to commit cause doing the right thing is often harder than doing the right thing

[@rzm17]

I love you so much, Tim. Thank you for being a great role model!

[@soumodeepmete5718]

thank you

[@kingj7003]

this video came at the perfect time, i was stuck in a spiral just yesterday about the position i am in my life right now, not knowing exactly what i am doing with my life and this helped me gain a huge perspective so thank you for this video :)

[@Joselitty]

Love this, thanks Tim 🙌🏽

[@IamnotJokic]

That smooth transition into an ad-read 😂 kudos bro

[@Epiphany1714]

I LOVE YOU TIM!!! I really needed this, your a great mentor for us

[@benkelly-7625]

This was a really good video! I’ve seen some inspiration videos here and there, mostly just bs and went in one ear out the other, but this was actually really good!! It was more meaningful since you gave things another way to look at it!! Especially the mindset of how I want my future self to be proud of what I’ve done in my 20s. This is by far the most useful yt video I have seen in a LONG time!!

[@tyhuynh1852]

Yo idk what day it happened but happy birthday man!!

[@GonzaloGalvez-ub4dd]

Thanks so much Tim for this video. You are a mayor source of inspiration for me and I am pretty sure for most of your followers, and this goes way beyond fashion. A good reminder like this is always appreciated, but most of all, needed. We should create some sort of support and experience sharing community among your followers, where we can take on challenges and other activities. If this has been already made, pls let me know. Would love to join

[@romedelrosario4915]
