The fact that you make your own “stock” videos instead of just pulling ones from the internet just tells me that you’ve put a lot of personality in this. Keep it up

Anyone else an item hoarder in RPGs that never use their consumables early game?

I LOVED the video game references here. In a lot of ways, personal finance is a game in and of itself so I really related to this one. Excellent work as always man!

YES! I agree! For me, building wealth was a game from the start. Cutting expenses, maximizing value on any spend, and building savings were their own rewards. Goals are important to work toward.

"In real life no one knows what you're working towards" hit me hard. That's a tough one, striving and working so hard towards any given goal while no one else has any idea. Nobody cares, and it makes it almost impossible if you let yourself cave to the comparison game. Someone else will always have more. Someone else will always be better. No one cares about what I've accomplished or what I'm working towards.

I removed online shopping apps from my phone. Really helps.

This man's level of connect with his audience is next level.

Love the game application to real life. Creating my quest journal. Benchmarking my life against my life and NOT someone else’s.
Thank you!

I needed this video in my life right now. Thank you for producing it.

[felix_alexis_ortiz]

Love this! Saving up and leveling to just be super OP is always the greatest feeling. Adding that to personal finance is such a good concept!

[Praddyyy]

I have watched so many videos about saving money, but this one is completely different. These are so practical and that analogy of comparing your life with a video game is top notch! 💯 also that sacrifice-save-invest strategy is awesome. will probably start saving/investing my income and reward myself with something which doesnt drain those savings.

[SohaHamid]

I've been looking for something that could help gamify my life. You put in a lot of great effort, thank you for this!

[Zainabtriesit]

I'm really enjoyed this video. Thank you for putting this together ❤

[thiagomussa]

Vincent, your videos are just mind-blowing! They have a tremendous impact on my life. Thanks for the amazing content!

[foodlover]

This was a phenomenally helpful video! I'm going to start using this method

[medusasmadhouse]

I love the way you express yourself this is so beautifully crafted. And incredibly educational and creative. Thank you

[JakeSpradlin]

What a video! RPG games (especially Skyrim) were always my favorite growing up; and it does parallel to finance in lots of ways

For me, Fallout 4 on survival mode helped me a lot with the mindset of saving money. You can actually invest in Fallout 4 by storing valuable items rather than selling them right away. As you increase your charisma, gain armour that boosts your charisma, gain perks that help bartering, and use items to boost your charisma when you make sales, you can VASTLY increase the amount of caps (money) that you have. Some items are worth selling right away but many aren't. They are assets to collect and use if needed. If not needed and you continue to amass huge quantities of items, your character can become obscenely rich and you will be able to afford everything in the game without any problem. That's not even mentioning side hustles like purified water farming, chem peddling or just flat out collecting all the junk you can find. If you put away as much as you can for the end game and cash out when your character can get the highest return, you will, in theory, be sitting on a nearly limitless pile of caps as you liquidate your assets. You also tend to want to use as few of our assets as possible so they can "appreciate" so you play fairly modestly and find ways to limit the caps your have to spend (aka limiting your expenses and liabilities). I started to learn to do more with less and found enjoyment in it too. Now I pretty much practice the same mentality IRL and I have a significantly higher net worth than ever before.
