I usually skip ads as fast as youtube will allow, but this? This is genius. We'd all make better decisions if we kept our future selves in mind.

[@nerdwallet]

Thanks for sharing, glad you liked the video!

FACTS The tune is so catchy and the concept is really cool

[@getyourgoodshere]

Same here. I am actually writing a rhetorical analysis essay, and I've chosen this commercial to write about. I think they did a great job using Ethos Pathos and Logos to communicate to their viewers. We do make better decision when we add ourselves to the equation.

[@JayRidders]

This is one of the most relatable ads ever. I’d totally imagine my future self singing about my poor money choices. Believe me, you won’t believe how much I’ve spent on snacks and energy drinks.

[@nerdwallet]

Thanks for sharing your love for our ad! 💚

[@Steveman27]

How much do you think you should have spent on them?

[@sugarcookieww]

This is actually so creative, like using a relatable content of having bad spending addiction and the consequences of the future. Its so insanely creative that you’ve captivated an audience of teens and adults.

[@brentallison6050]

Look up old 1980s commercials; it was unusual when they *didn't* have a jingle back then.

Absolutely brilliant! "Don't make your future you hate you". The singing actors and the imagery drive the point home that if you are reckless with your financial decisions, you'll still be working at 102 to make ends meet.

[@elliestarrco]

The fact they are all living in a low income building puts the cherry on top. What’s scarier is that it’s says this will be you in 2078, but in reality this is every senior in 2024

[@danielmusfeldt6393]

This is the only commercial I searched for to actually watch by itself. Well done. Hilarious.

[@christinesowell7681]

ditto. these will go down as some of the all time best commercials..👏👏👏

I haven’t laughed at a commercial in probably 5 years but this one slayed me. The old guy with the young executive is hilarious and sobering.

Masterpiece of an ad literally hilarious 💀 ik they save the say bad money moves but I like say bad money moo 💀 make more ads like this plz 😂😂😂😂😂

[@InnerSunshine]

this is one of the most dystopian commercials ever made, a commentary on an America that requires people making barely enough to survive to also make shrewd 401k stock market bets to try to avoid having to work to death in their 80s - David Sirota

Debt-free = Free to have debt. Am I right, or am I right? I think a better term would be no term at all, but instead something like "without debt".

[@beanwl]

My future you just said .. Thanks Biden for the massive inflation 👎👎

[@novacatzero]

yeah even though it’s a massively global problem but sure it’s just the USA

[@crazy_mind-ox8if]

It was more all the COVID19 bailouts, 1 year after an even bigger Wallstreet bailout, all with an extremely negligent fed just ignoring it until inflation was so high they had no choice but to raise rates. Bidens contribution was just cutting oil refining in the US causing high gas prices, which definitely didn't help.

[@crazy_mind-ox8if]

​@@novacatzeroEurope it was due to COVID bailouts and the war in Ukraine, US it was also COVID bailouts along with massive Wallstreet bailouts in 2019, as well as a negligent fed that kept kicking the can down the road, as well as Biden neutering the US oil and gas refining causing high gas prices. Pretty sure inflation was worse here, but it takes a village to raise inflation :)

[@beanwl]

​@@crazy_mind-ox8if @novacatzero Simple solution is stop printing money?? It works in most counties..
