Transcript

Feel free to debate me on this, but I think peak freedom as a young person in college is having a maxed out Roth IRA. I mean, after you've done that, you can just do whatever you want. If you want to be responsible, you can put money in the brokerage account, but that's just extra. And please do not come in the comments with the "what am I gonna do with millions of dollars when I'm 60?" I want to be rich right now.
