If I could go back in time and have the knowledge that I have now, I would be retired. My mindset is sharpen and the way that I manage my money has improved so much. Learning how to save AND invest money in your 20s will help you reach your financial goals before 30. Maybe your goal is to make work optional. Maybe your goal is to travel the world without working another job to do so. Whatever it is, I got you. By the end of this video, you’ll have clear tips for saving money in your 20s. 

The reality is, saving money isn’t enough. You must prioritize learning how to build wealth in your 20s so you aren’t playing catch up in your 30s like I am. And plenty of my friends as well. We traveled, we ate well, and we drank even more. But we also could have used a lesson on how to budget and save money in your 20s to go along with living our best lives.

One of the biggest money mistakes I made in my 20s was not buying real estate earlier. If you pay attention to this world and the market, you realize that everything continues to get more expensive - and real estate isn’t left out of that equation. I think back and shed a tear at how much equity I would have, how much closer I would be to retirement, and how I could have used that rent from my tenants to fund my dream life. But I digress.

Beyond investing, I want you to be confident enough on learning how to budget and save money in your 20s so that you can invest, you can travel, you can start the business, you can spend time with your family.
