I Wish I Knew This In My 20s

[@duanec.sutherland5292]

I retired at 52 and honestly, I wish I’d done it sooner. The 9-to-5 grind always steals your freedom for a paycheck that barely scratches the surface. My advice? If you’re in your late 30s or early 40s, start saving for FIRE now (Financial Independence, Retire Early.) And if you’re in your 50s, invest smartly and break free from relying on your job. Market trends, like the Trump Effect, have made millions for many, including me. Stay focused, stay consistent, and remember financial freedom is within reach if you make it a priority.

[@Nancy-1w]

Exactly My point! The 9 to 5 grind is just not worth it the stress and low payoff. What specific steps did you take to break free?

[@duanec.sutherland5292]

Working with Lorrie Greta Hillard , a financial advisor, was a game changer. She helped me refine my savings strategy, including retirement planning, and provided expert guidance on investments and budgeting to maximize my savings.

[@Nancy-1w]

Got it! Thanks for the tip! I was curious, so I looked up Lorrie

[@Latonya-r.b]

I have 5 more years and I can’t wait to retire!

[@brianperalta3520]

Needed to hear this, im 24 and im in a bad financial situation. Not the worst but annoying, yet i still buy stupid things. But i am learning! And the relationship thing isn’t going so well rn, but im figuring it out slowly. Thanks for posting this, many of us guys needed to hear this

At the end of the day you know what you want. If you get a chance today write down what you want in life and whats stopping you and assess what you can change

[@Genghis_Guy]

A 3 month poker phase is so perfect. Mine lasted 3.5 years when I cut out all gambling because it was so self destructive. Learning in 3 months that you should stop is amazing.

I was making about $87 an hour and it all went crashing down... realised I couldn't hit that form again and moved on... It was a good experience

[@not_0bscur1ty]

Hey stars, I'm 23 (and I'll be 24 this year) and hearing this helps a lot. I'm scared of the future but I know I can only go forward in life. Thank you for sharing man.

[@sstarssss]

I was just like you at the same age, aging comes with plenty of experiences. Failing is learning. Once you get older you will have many experiences where you learn so much and will help you advance in life because you will learn a lot from the journey.

[@URGOVTNAME]

I just turned 28 3 months ago and have felt all of these problems lately. The algorithm really showed up this time. Thank you

[@sstarssss]

glad you enjoyed man 🙏

[@agentkodeh]

I dont know why you showed up to me But i feel i needed to hear it thank you

[@sstarssss]

glad you enjoyed the video more to come

[@URGOVTNAME]

Please make more to this series.

[@sstarssss]

will do

[@Tir33nts343]

I think the second most important thing outside of just living is GET SMART, learn everything you can and want, you’re going to get further when you know more. And I don’t mean go to college, while that’s good and all, and it teaches you how to prepare for the workforce, it’s just learning, not “getting smart”. Books are only so important in my opinion, I’ve read enough to know that you will only ever get what someone else knows, you still have to learn for yourself as you said. Thanks for the advice mate

[@sstarssss]

I love this getting smart is key to a lot of things in life... learning new skills is easy these days with the power of the internet. I try to learn new skills every month wether it be a skill with my camera, a program on my computer or something at the gym.It's essential you get with the times

[@russiancloaker3931]

yknow what you came up in my recommended im 16 approaching 17 in 17 days and this is some super valuable information to remember

[@sstarssss]

Im glad you got something out of the video. Just remember you can learn something everyday wether you're 17 or 77. Nothing better then preparing for the future.

[@doctormobius5]

You'll be wiser than 99 percent of people your age to actually use the information too. I was taught at a young age many similar things but I didn't stick with them/believe it.

[@CowTipin]

Its not about where you are at its about where your going

[@CowTipin]

Wise words.

[@sstarssss]

Thanks I appreciate it!

[@jorgeaguirre7346]

I just turned 26 a few days ago and I feel even worse about being behind for simply not having a college degree/career and still live with my parents. I went through burning bridges and a self-sabotaging spree last year for not being happy with myself hoping I'd get a push, which has made progress. All I am incredibly concerned about is have a better job through college and move tf out. Maybe my fault is becoming desperate about those things, I set myself back.

[@sstarssss]

I lived with my parents up until 26 and saved tens of thousands of dollars doing so... don't feel like a loser at all. I don't have a college degree either but I made things work. Just please don't compare yourself to others its the worst thing you can do. You're running your own race.

[@jorgeaguirre7346]

@ I appreciate your kind words m8. Truly means a lot.

[@vanmallett7529]

27, fiancé, son due next month. Buy don’t rent. Only advice I have. Started in college and it was scary, and I’m still cash poor… but if I sell the assets I invested in, all would be good. Don’t rent.

[@sstarssss]

I own my property I currently live in it... thinking of renting it out to make it an asset

[@Realtalkgame]

[@LogicalFinds]

What books do you recommend for self improvement and for financial success?

[@doctormobius5]

The Compound Effect is 100 percent your book.

[@juulpods98]

[@sstarssss]
