Transcript

So I'm a 19-year-old with 100k plus invested. This being my biggest portfolio out of three, just over 100k. I'm going to tell you guys a little bit about how I did this. And before you ask, I had zero inheritance and my dad does not work in finance or even understand what I do. So the first thing I did, as much as you guys are going to hate this, get a job. My first job, I only made 11 dollars an hour. I was working at Chick-fil-A. You just need money coming in. This is a screenshot I took on my 17th birthday two years ago. I had just started investing 4800 dollars. Anybody can make that if you have any type of job. My first investment I ever made was into SPY, an S&P 500 fund, and then as I started to understand the market more and just got some experience, I started breaking off into individual growth companies, like this for example. You're not going to be able to get returns close to this within a year with any ETFs, especially if they're not leveraged. So I taught myself a strategy and just started getting good at picking individual growth companies. I then broke off into crypto, which massively helped me. This is a screenshot I took a few months back, also around the same time I hit my first 10k month. Stay home for college, stack money, and don't be afraid to take risks.
