Doesn't matter what you earn, matters what you keep.

[metfanevr]

I'm amazed at how many people are willing to tell a perfect stranger how much they make.

I'm in my 50s and I'm more interested in investments that could set me up for retirement, I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

Assuming you talked to 10X as many people as shown on the video, I think you did a great job editing and choosing a representative person from the various income levels and professions. Good job, thanks.

There’s a lot of video of people asking how much someone makes but not many that ask how much they save 💯 love it make more lol

[MusicMike]

I’m actually impressed at how many do more than the minimum.

[robertt]

Took me forever to find one of these based in NYC that is more recent. Thanks for making this. Do more of these NYC salary videos.

Yo making 90, 000 and “it being tough” shouldn’t be a thing. Damn New York is crazy expensive.

Dude thought he had game til she said she had a boyfriend 😂

[nskgraff]

I make 200k and i live in $600 bedroom and drive paid off Honda that’s 9yrs old, minimalism

Run your life like a business. Your income(s) are revenue. What you earn is net of all taxes and expenses. If your below 20% net you need to reduce overhead or increase revenue. Most my young life I didnt understand this. Earlier learned the better.

[andrews]

Frankly surprised about some of the reactions thinking this is fake. Making a six figure salary in NYC is honestly pretty easy

[michaelzero]

People need to share salary’s more so companies can’t screw so many of us. Who cares what their policy are it’s not illegal. Knowledge is power

[trapbois]

Biggest things you should do when youre young, go to a public university within your state unless you’ve been accepted into an Ivy. You benefit off of cheaper tuition. Choose a major that translate directly to a career field that has a lot of potential(tech, law, medicine etc.) Be somewhat aggressive with 401k contributions especially when you’re young. Always live below your means even if you make more money. It is always better to have abundance then to save nothing. Buy your first home when you feel you have enough savings for a large down deposit (50%) or more ideally. Paying interest on a loan is preposterous.

Great interviews! Got a couple gold nuggets 🔥

[blueswadeshoes]

I make 150k and it’s hard in nyc. Honestly folks, if you want to have kids, don’t live in nyc. It’s tough financially. If you’re young and single though, you can thrive.

[nyredneck]

The best advice I’ve heard on this video was to frontload your 401(k)

[techscience]

I think crypto guy sold everything at 20k bitcoin and now invested at 70K

Dam that dental hygienist put all her income in that trunk 🍞

NYC has high salaries and high cost of living.
