i would not refinance, pay that **** off asap----live in your parents basement, eat ramen whatever you gotta do until its gone, go debt free live off the land

Go on vacations on a credit card is a terrible idea

Steps 1 & 2 are probably the easiest for people to do. I think my next move will be trying out sprinkle bit! I could use more elaboration on the high yield savings account portion, though.

Your video Production and Quality is so good.

Great advice! Millennials certainly need to think about saving money as soon as possible. Great video!

[jlashay]

Great video I am starting with investing in a credit card in order to build up my credit score!

[jeffborchers]

I agree with all points except getting/using a credit card for rewards. CC companies would not offer these rewards if it did not make them money overall. Yes, if you're focused and use this tactic, I agree, but the general population will just see this advice as " I can spend money cause I'll get a quick return" but will actually put themselves into further debt. Take this advice at your own risk.

Honey, I think my dog knows what a credit score is

[Cowglow]

Love the energy, love the tips, but simply saying that you should put your money into a High Yield Savings is a big vague.. what is High Yield, is it 2%, 6%, 27%.. and in that same discussion, one should keep in mind the inflation rate of the Dollar..

[bellicose]

Going to try the sprinkle bit because i never could really grasp investing.

[alisonhalm]

Using your site to augment my Consumer Ed class! Thanks! Good Stuff!

Whats your credit score if you don't have a credit card yet? :) i gotta look up credit score system for Germany.

[SoulGlowHealing]

First job in 20s? 😂 I have been working since I was 13. I also have known what a credit score is since a teen. Credit Karma is a good way to check your credit score for free.

You guys should take a look at goldmen shacks bank they have a 1.20% on there savings right now ally only has 1.09.

Wouldn't listen to anything after tip 2. Find a financial advisor to help you invest. Even if you do well in a mock account this is no predictor of the future. Plus not many people have the time to watch there investments daily.

I would really love to get a chance to talk with you?! I loved this video!
