Transcript

These are the five baby steps to financial freedom I wish I did sooner. One, save $1,000. This will put you ahead of 60% of Americans. Goal, save 4-6 months emergency fund. No matter what happens, you will be good for next 6 months. Two, live below your means. If you're not making 200k-300k don't drive fancy cars. No Gucci, Prada, UberEats, make the food or pick it up. Three, put $100 in an envelope. This is how you will build trust with money. The more money you see in the envelope, the more you trust yourself. Four, open brokerage account or Roth IRA. Money sitting in savings account is losing money. S&P 500 has an average return of 10% every year. If you can open social media account, you can open Roth IRA. Five, 3 beginner ETFs. VOO or SPY, QQQM, SMH.
