Transcript

I'm 19 and in the month of July, I made more money than your parents just by winning hackathons. So let's break down every income stream I have and budget off my money. Okay, so from my job inside hustles, I made $14,820. And then from hackathons, I made $28,800 for prizes and straight cash. For the month of July that brings us to $43,620. Of this money, $28,000 is going straight into projects and startups to cover the cost of hardware components, API credits, cloud computer, marketing and depth to subscriptions. I have a bunch of startup ideas in mind. I know who my cofounder is going to be. It's time to get serious about this. From there, I'm putting another $4,000 into the stock market to blow on Sigma's IPO. Now, I'm just playing. I only invested in these TS and I'm looking to expand into oil and energy and possibly even crypto. I'm also setting aside $4,000 for trips to San Francisco, Dallas and flights back to Pen and wherever else I might want to go honestly. Then there's $3,000 for personal expenses like food and groceries. And from there, I have $4,620 to do whatever I want. And whatever money I have from each month of earnings, I just reinvest in my businesses and side. This video wasn't made to brag. I think it's very imperative that young people talk about their finances just to educate others and raise awareness about financial literacy. Anyways, let me know if you guys want more content about how to invest your money or the financial side of growth in a startup. See you tomorrow.
