In this video, I take you guys along a weekend in the life of a software engineer intern at Amazon. This weekend was a little more active than my usual weekend, but I wanted to take you guys through what it's like living in Seattle as a young 20-something:)

If you’re new to the channel: welcome ~ I’m Michael and I'm a rising senior at Carnegie Mellon University studying Information Systems. I make new videos every week about college and tech

this is so interesting! good to see you’re planning ahead for the future

Great video Michael! I’ve been wanting to make content like this as well. Even if no one watches it’s great to put your goals out there and develop a plan. It will be great to look back on this when you are 29! I’m confident you will shatter your $1, 000, 000 goal!

I don't see an actual point in this hole plan if not saving money just for the sake of saving them, are u saving for an early retirement? or for a future big investment? Everyone has his own point of view in life, but i don't think that starving till the age of 30 to get 1mln dollars can be considered as a goal in life, i would rather try to do little investments like, start-ups or an e-commerce or other kind of businesses that can pop-up and make u more than a million dollar instead of consuming 8 years of your youth.

Love the chill, straightforward vibes you give off Michael, another banger 💥💥

Great video and explanation of your financial plan. I hope it goes the way you have outlined! When developing my own optimistic financial plan, I failed to allocate money to the costs of incidentals in my life. Such as being sick, and maintenance on the things that I own. Oh and most importantly, in my mid twenties I also got married. Having a significant other in your life will greatly impact that meal budget. I cant wait to see your update on this in the future. It definitely looks bright!

Hope you achieve this goal. Happy to see you blew up really quick after that Amazon video. Keep making interesting videos

[phantomproduction]

You inspired me. Best of luck brother.

[ligmajoe]

[MaxiAttiogbe]

1:33 "Software Engineering Internships pay a lot".
It depends, I did mine for 4 months and got paid 0€ lol. Most of my friends didn't get paid either.
These were internships offered via the university.

Adding a Monte Carlo simulation for market returns would be awesome.

[Truthbetold]

He didn’t take into consideration the market is down 20+ % this year nobody knows the future enjoy your life

[bizbonguyen]

After 30 open the company, I will apply if you have one. From Colorado School of Mines> Great goals

[yackamajez]

I have the same goal. Also a senior in college working for Amazon when I graduate. You should look into buying property rather than renting. You’d be building equity rather than throwing your money away renting. It could also be pretty profitable investment if you buy in a market where the prices are likely to go up

I changed majors to computer science this year so now im 20 in first year 😭, but hopefully I can college and finish before 23. college is heavily subsidized in my country so im only 8k in debt so not too bad.

[FarruxFozilov-mu]

It's 2030: I'm watching this guy with 1mln or more bank account

[abhishekkoka]

If mike a billionaire ima never go broke

[xmz]

You will get your goal early because of the inflation.
