I was looking at my finances recently and I realized I saved over 100k. So, I want to look back at all the things I’ve done since I got my first ever job when I was 16 to see how I was able to do it. Hopefully from that, you’ll learn from my experience.
Also, something I forgot to mention in this video: I don’t have any student loan debt from my time studying mechanical engineering at the University of Waterloo. That’s because I was frugal with the money I made during my co-op/internships, so I could use it to pay for my university tuition. Plus, I applied to a ton of grants and bursaries that helped tremendously! Timestamps are as follows:

It really helps that Tamer had no loans to pay back. This contributed greatly.

The amount of scholarships and programs available for college students make it a lot more reachable than you think. Unfortunately, student loans (at least in the US) are backed by the government so its super low risk for loan companies. Thus, they will make it as easy as possible for you to sign a way $20,000 a year at 6% APR. It is crazy how easy it is to get a student loan. Applying for scholarships takes time and effort, and does not necessary require that you be the perfect A+, extracurricular student. Even if you do end up graduating with debt, realistically, that should be no more than 60k of debt, otherwise you made a terrible decision attending that specific college. I attended community college for 2 years and saved over $12,000. As long as you pick a degree that if used correctly, can make you more money than the cost of the degree in a years time, you are fine.

@hydrogen.jukebox 9 месяцев назад

@@JapanesePiano1 This is all true, but unfortunately, hindsight is 20/20 for a lot of people. The ease of student loan applications and the almost predatory practice of recruiting for education and financing it has taken a lot of people who had no idea when they first went to college. It's a *lot* to ask of a fresh high school graduate to fully grasp these kinds of concepts (and it's not exactly their fault, it's more just how teenage/etc development works, and these finance companies take way too much advantage of that), especially when the only (or primary) possible life choice represented to them after high school is going to college, as it is in many high schools. Kids really don't know what else to do.

Tamer you have no idea how much you literally influenced my journey as a mechatronics engineering student at the university of Waterloo. It was through your video that I learned I could ask for grants and not taking the loan from OSAP. I did that and I’m debt free so far (3rd year student). Always lived with roommates for the past 3 years even though I could be renting by myself. Have had the same iPhone 11 Pro since my first year in 2020. It’s surprising how little things, habits make great results. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Also go to career fairs. The career fairs are better for you when you have less experience. Just talk to them and they can refer you to positions and it’s a lot easier than you think. Also try contacting relatives or family friends that may work in a place similar to what you want to do.

@tonyzero9200 9 месяцев назад

Personally, I think that if you pay with cash you will likely spend less overall because it is less convenient than credit cards. Even if you are a great budgeter the convenience can make it easier to spend, I still primarily use a credit card but do believe my overall spending would be less with cash. In terms of a house although an investment property is great also consider the change of use from going from personal to commercial property. If you want to move back in and convert it to a residential property again you will need to pay capital gains taxes on the increased value of the house from the assessed fair market value. So you may need to plan for a big tax liability if you are going to rent it out legally and report the earnings legally.

I saved a lot living in my mom's basement literally. Don't mind people making fun of you because you save money living with mom and dad while being young, I can assure you they don't have the money you will have. I have a premium line of credit, a credit score through the roof and some cash saved. and the most important thing, no debt. Just work as much as you can while you're young and when you're old enough buy a house. I didn't even have a car back in the day and I could save a ton using the public bus service.

I don't make any money but I think it would be better to make some long term investments eg: a 500$ a month from the savings to stock market or any form investment with great and stable returns as it would better help fight the inflation and it would slowly help generate a secondary income as well

@reigndrops4090 9 месяцев назад

That can be a side hustle

@ineedbigdrink8509 9 месяцев назад

Only if you make enough that investing 500 is reasonable/you’re okay with potentially losing that money. Definitely prioritize more stable investments. At first it’s probably better to take advantage from any 401k matching your employer *may* offer and put some of your income into a separate savings acc so you can better budget for whatever you need while still having access to your money in an emergency.

@Manito_verse 9 месяцев назад

I would disagree with afterpay here. If you have good credit and are financially responsible then afterpay can be a great tool since it's interest free and I know this because I use it. For example, if I'm buying something that's $400, instead of paying $400 cash right away why not $100 every 2 weeks for 2 months? This way you're only spending $100 off that paycheck from that week and use the rest of the money for investing, saving, paying other debts, etc. At the end of the day you're not paying more but you can pay in smaller chunks. Of course, never do this if you have to pay interest and also never buy stuff just to buy it because you're paying lower prices but if it's something you need then this tool can help. I've used it for a year now and never paid any interest. Just my 2 cents.
