What's happening, Jake?

Hey, yeah, thanks for taking me on.

I had a question.

I'm 21, about a into into working corporate life now but I feel like I'm behind on

investing trying to see what I could do to actually build wealth okay like I'm doing the

right things but I don't know if you know I could be doing a lot more, you know?

I mean, I feel like you're going to take advantage and maximize our 20s.

Wow.

How do you feel like you're behind at 21?

It's like a newborn baby being like, I feel like I got to get I'm behind on my

reading skills got up it like you just started your adult life as far as career

and income goes. Yeah you know what I think couple things right like I know that like Ramsey and himself had 150,000 to invest in real estate at 22 and I know people from my high school making $170,000 a year at 19 software engineers in the Bay Area, so the bar is kind of up there.

Good.

Well, you create that bar for yourself, depending on who you're going to compare yourself to.

And so I don't want you to get just totally into this vortex of like, well, someone else is making more out there.

You got to realize like you got to run Jake's race, because running someone else's there is no finish line.

You're always going to be comparing yourself to people making way more who have way. If I compare myself to Dave Ramsey,

dude it's going to be an endless chase in life. I love the fact that you have this high bar though. Like I think that you have good I like that I feel like you're challenging yourself and I think that that's going to be good as long as you don't get ahead of yourself
