Mistake #1: Spending more than you make. It doesn’t matter how much you make, it’s how much you save. It’s important to track your expenses and budget appropriately, and pay yourself first.
Mistake #2: Leaving too much in cash without investing. The sad truth is that with inflation, the money you keep in cash actually loses its buying power year after year. With an average inflation rate of 2%, this means that every $100 you have saved will be worth $98 the year after. While it’s important to keep an emergency fund and not invest the money you’ll need in the short term, everything else should be earning you more money.
Mistake #3: Don’t carry a credit card balance. The average person has $5700 of credit card debt, and the average credit card interest rate is 16.15%. This equates to $920 per YEAR wasted on credit card interest. If you just invested that amount over 30 years at a 10% gross return, that would be equal to $182,000…that’s how much the average person is losing long term over unpaid credit card balances.
Mistake #4: Don’t ignore your credit score. It’s easy not to pay attention to this, but it’s so important. Building your credit score will save you a lot of money when it comes time to get a car loan or mortgage payment. Even the difference of 0.5% per year can add up to a LOT of money. On a 30-year $250,000 mortgage, that 0.5% equates to more than $18,000 EXTRA out of pocket over the term of the loan.
Mistake #5: Don’t invest in something you don’t fully understand. If you’re confused about what you’re investing in, don’t invest in it. Understand the risks with investing and only invest in what you’re comfortable with.
Thank you again for watching! Hope this helps!

    Learning so much on this channel!! I’ve always taken care of my credit score since I got a card at 18, I’m now 23 and I’m in the high 700s, being only 23 though I’m wondering if I could already buy a house? What would you recommend for young people and real estate specifically? Thank you for all your advice and hard work Graham.

    I haven't thought of what exactly to invest on. Since my main source of income is thru affiliate marketing, I am thinking of investing in something I am interested too and have a knowledge of. I will definitely keep in mind these tips and start thinking of investing. This is awesome, Graham!

    The last point makes a lot of sense, too many times people jump into things without research

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Viktor B says:

    This is such a well put together video.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dream Soap says:

    That bitconnect clip was so hilarious. Do you have recommendation for people who study forever, not knowing where to start?

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrSoizes Creative says:

    Graham, buddy, thank you for making this! Thank you for all your videos! Since I started watching your videos in November 2017 I have latched onto and started to incorporate something you said, "I think of every dollar I make as a worker that can make me 10% per year for the rest of my life…"
    Since then I have started studying to become a financial adviser and saved $10000. I am currently a 3D animator but the studio life isn't for me. If you want something made in 3D and animated, let me know and we'll work something out.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Guus Keunen says:

    Great tips, thanks Graham!

    Love from the Netherlands.

    that bitconnect clip had me rolling lol

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LandonGendur says:

    I think the real question is "how do I become a credit card company?". Like seriously, here's a piece of plastic that has access to my $XXXX.XX in savings (which is only earning 10%) & I'll charge the 16% instead. Heck, I'll give them a deal of 15% if they switch to me 😉

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars EdVentures says:

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aurelian Spodarec says:

    Great video but watch out with these videos, because some of them are low on volume, and the other blows the headphone xd well, specifically the bitconet , the ohter one were fine.

    I think someone should never get in debt xd
