THINGS I WISH KNEW WERE OPTIONS AT 22 YEARS OLD

These are things that I wish I knew were options when I was 22 years old because I think that woman would be richer, happier, more successful if they were shown all these options. I thought that investing was for smart men who already have money. It is not. It is not. I wish that I started way earlier back then, even with nothing, let consistency and time do its thing and then as I just start investing more. You know how people will tell you like it's all about who you know. I was always like, well, I don't really have connections. The people whose families are really connected, I didn't have that. You know, you can build your own connection. Connect with people on LinkedIn. You can ask for coffee chats. You can go to there are so many ways to meet important people. Not everyone was to do it, but my social media has been that for me. That is how I got the job that I'm working right now. It is an option to learn how to be financially literate. I think a lot of people, including myself, just assume like that's something that kind of falls into place like just as you adult or grow older. But like, no, it's actually like no one's going to teach you. There are so many things that I learn now because I put so much time and effort into it that I'm like, fuck, I wish I heard this or learnt this three years ago, four years ago, which I could have, but I didn't. I fully thought like my first job, I was like, I'm gonna be here for 30 years because that's what I kind of assumed. That's the case for a lot of our parents where they stayed at companies the whole way through. Not the case for me. I was scared shitless leaving my first job post grad, which I laugh at now. Because I was like, this job is going to define my entire career trajectory. Like I need to stay at the same place for at least five years. I think people know that it's an option, but they're scared to do it. I literally ended up making more money. I ended up in a way more aligned career path. I've been on a roll of creating videos of things that I wish I knew when I was first graduating. I know that I really do have an opportunity to help so many of the women that are younger than me. They're good lessons to learn, but you would save yourself a lot of time. Okay, love you. Have a great day.
