in this day and age it's almost
impossible not to go broke at some point
in life especially when you're a
millennial our lives are based on a
lifestyle which no other generation can
quite understand once the new iPhone is
released will queue in line for days
just to be the first ones to have it
whatever your favorite celebrity is
promoting we want that too and we'll
also be the first to try out that new
restaurant that opened down the street
just so we can post it on Instagram
hashtag my life is amazing with
pressures to keep up with what's trendy
and the pressures from social media
we often have no choice but to open our
wallets or swipe our credit cards to
feed our desires if you're not careful
you'll probably end up broke or heavily
in debt so in today's video we will
share with you 18 tips every millennial

financial situation but just before that
make sure you press that subscribe

let's begin 18 have a budget if you live
alone then you probably pay your own
bills you'll find that most of these
bills are recurrent either daily monthly
or yearly the very first step is to know
what you need to pay by listing down all
your bills and expenses then setting
aside the relative amounts next to each
bill you need to pay by doing this
you'll be able to know exactly what you
need to live off and plan your money
accordingly a deeper understanding of
your needs and expenses is crucial to
managing your finances and accumulating
wealth 17 keep an eye on discounts I
know it might sound ridiculous but chase
every coupon code and discount available
they can really save you a lot of money
you may have heard this a lot before but
brushed it off and that's why you're
broke we're not telling you to go all
extreme like the cheapskates on TLC who
hoard newspapers and magazines for
coupons but instead why not buy major
items when they're on sale for example
if you need to buy or change your sofa
do it win IKEA or whichever other store
is running a sale you'll find that the
same item can have a discount of up to
50% sales like Black Friday and Cyber
Monday are meant for you so take
advantage of them
16 build your career do you have a
career plan do you know where you want
to be in the next 5 years
well if you don't then this is
the right time to start planning
especially if you're broke depending on
the career path you want to take whether
it's to become an entrepreneur or climb
the corporate ladder you need to sit
down and build it the first step is to
determine what resources or skills you
need then identify ways to acquire them
once determined you can now proceed to
either applying for your dream job or
starting your business the only way to
get out of your broke situation is to
build your career which will in turn pay
you back and relieve you from your broke
situations 15 start a side hustle in The
Times we're living in it's almost
impossible to solely live off one income
stream that's why you need to create or
find another source of income especially
if you're broke whether it's walking
dogs or babysitting or any other paying
psychic you have to take up an
additional source of income today it's
even easier to get a side gig with all
the available freelancing platforms such
as up work and freelancer the options
are endless 14 go on a cash diet the
cash diet is the sort of term for
juicing for the financial world in fact
anyone who isn't financially stable
should try it
this diet involves walking around with
cash and paying for everything in cash
there's only so much cash you can have
at any given point meaning your spending
will be limited in this day and age of
digital money and instant loans you can
get everything you set your eyes on
instantly this leads to impulse buying
and unnecessary expenditures I know
you're probably thinking oh how will
this be possible I buy everything online
but guess what
that's the reason you're broke do
yourself a favor and cut your credit
cards up you can thank us later thirteen
why take this one with a grain of salt
lying isn't right but in some
life-and-death cases it is really
necessary to avoid the impending death
of your financial being and you ending
up in debt you need to be a creative
liar
say you're planning a wedding come up
with creative ways of saving costs call
the venue you're hiring for the event
and say you're organising a family
gathering instead do the same with the
decor and other service providers you'll
be surprised with the cost difference
and potential money saved 12 start
saving put aside the little you have
make sure you set aside part of what you
have however little they say saving is
the golden ticket to financial freedom
and
is indeed but what matters most is
building that savings muscle you can
save this month and maybe the next then
end up spending everything by the third
month and breaking the cycle however
when you build a routine you end up
saving consistently over a long period
of time this pile of money stashed away
will build a foundation to grow you
financially 11 start investing once
you've saved for a while it might be
time to start investing you can seek a
financial advisor at this point to help
you determine the best opportunities
around you create a small portfolio made
up of your investments and watch your
money grow this is the only way you can
multiply your little savings into a lump
sum 10 take financial courses you may
not have all the time in the world with
a 9 to 5 job in a side hustle but you
can still make time to learn something
new especially if it's about your
finances today there are so many
financial gurus offering courses for as
little as a couple of dollars however
before you start find out who the course
creator is read their profile and find
out if they're certified there are so
many crooks out there looking to make a
quick buck so be wise and do your
research diligently 9 watch your money
just like in business how you should
know your numbers the same applies to
your finances you should know exactly
how much you have in each account at all
times if you have any loans note them
down always have a full record of what
you have the assets you own any loans
and their values this can be done by
opening an excel sheet which is free and
recording everything that you spend
money on once you have a clear picture
of your financial status you can easily
manage your money better 8 cut down on
credit card expenses credit cards are
great but only if they're well-managed
how you pay them off will determine your
credit score the credit score is
important because it informs all
financial institutions on your credit
worthiness and alerts them on the
available loans and interest rates
applicable to you so you have no choice
but to manage each card you have
accordingly always pay interest when
it's due only use your credit cards for
necessities never use your credit cards
for any impulse purchases and constantly
check your credit score to review your
performance 7 pay off loans if you're
broke chances are you have debt create a
list of all the loans you have and the
interest rates on each of them once done
arrange them from the one with the
highest to the lowest
then finally start paying off the lowest
first research shows that paying the
lowest rated loans first gives you the
motivation to pay off the rest six cut
off some friends you don't need to be
friends with so many people just keep a
few friends who are closest to you
here's why the more friends you have the
more birthday parties the more gifts to
buy on Christmas and so on in short
you'll end up spending a lot more money
to please a lot more people keep a few
friends who you resonate the most with
trust us you'll thank us later
five spend less time on social media
studies indicate that social media
contributes to about thirty eight
percent of all depression cases most
people don't post their true reality on
social media in fact 80% of people fake
it you may think someone has the perfect
life with designer clothes cars and
fancy things but turns out they're just
as broke as you but in deeper debt
instead of wasting your time wallowing
over what you could have and wish your
life was this interesting and funnest
there's limit your time on social media
this can be done with apps that monitor
your screen time and block access to
your social media accounts but let's be
honest if you're broke you shouldn't be
wasting time on Instagram snapchat or
whichever other social media app you
spend a lot of time on instead use your
time to be more constructive learn
something new or find a side gig for
plan for your babies children are a lot
of fun but the last thing you want is a
broke millennial is to have babies at
this time children are expensive that's
a fact from labor expenses at the
hospital to insurance to other medical
bills you'll cough out a lot of money
raising your child if you don't have
your money right it may not be the best
time to have a child plan for this with
your partner and when your pockets are
no longer empty you can now consider
having a baby plus you don't want to
bring a child into this world to suffer
right three identify trigger warnings
find out what triggers you to spend
money some people end up making impulse
purchases under stressful conditions for
me when I get upset about anything I
used to go online and purchase
unnecessary candy or expensive
chocolates and my mind would be like oh
you're gonna spend fifty five dollars on
a designer chocolate box that's probably
not good for your waistline or pockets
once you identify your triggers find
solutions that don't involve money to
solve them this may be the hardest thing
to do but with time it gets easier
to move back home if you have parents or
guardians who can accommodate you then
it's a no-brainer
move back home you'll end up saving a
ton of money which would have otherwise
gone to rent and other utilities don't
be embarrassed about it just make the
move and do it as soon as possible if
this is something you absolutely can't
do you can always get a roommate who
will split the expenses with you one
start a retirement plan when you're
broke this may not be the first thing on
your mind but it should be part of your
grand financial plan visualize yourself
at the age of 55 yes
years into the future and picture in
your mind's eye the kind of life you
want to live how much money would you
want to have what type of house or
houses would you want to own will you
want to travel the world or do anything
else once you picture this determine how
much money you would need to sustain
your dream lifestyle after retirement
now open a retirement savings plan with
a great interest rate that will enable
you to live the life you want the power
of compounding interest plays a key role
in growing your wealth tremendously so
that little $100 savings a month can go
a long way in increasing your money
after a couple of years and finally you
should at all times stay positive just
because you don't have money now doesn't
mean it's the end of the world or that
it's your indefinite end keep your head
up always and do what you got to do
without positivity none of these tips
will work so in summary the 18 tips not
