3-2-1: How to ACTUALLY Get Rich in Your 20s

In partnership with

Hey guys, hope you’re doing great.

I've been thinking about this topic for a while. It's important to me because I've faced it throughout my 20s. This is my struggle, and I have often observed others experiencing the same phase.

As someone in their late 20s, I was a victim of starting late in almost everything:

• Getting my sh*t together

• Focus on what to do and where to focus my energy

• How to make money for myself

• What to learn and unlearn

Above all, everything seems confusing. I always thought I couldn't get rich because I lacked resources, a network, money, and skills.

So, this article talks about breaking the curse cycle of pressure and anxiety. It focuses on ways to help you get rich, even if you are totally broke. So, let’s dive in.

1. Resourcefulness

I have to say this at the start because I think it is very important if you want to achieve your goal. That is giving your ‘time and energy'; you have to give 10 hours/6 days a week to your work if you are someone between 18 and 26.

The only things you have in your 20s are a lot of time and energy. So, become someone who knows how to use these resources.

Leverage what you have now. Don't waste energy chasing or winning what you don’t have. Focus on learning and trying new things.

I personally see people wasting their time and energy on the wrong things. Then, they complain that life isn't great for them.

Money is the final output that comes as a result of the accumulation of hard work.

2. << $10,000

The second thing here is, if you are someone who has less than $10K in savings but is passionate about making a change, here’s what you should do first:

• Stop eating outside and wasting money 

• Stop getting new clothes and save money

• Stop attending parties that are not free

Why do you need to take these actions?

As someone in their 20s, you need to save every penny for your future self.

What I mean is, if you're broke but want to experiment and learn, you can still do it. For example, you might want to start an e-commerce store, a blog, or a YouTube channel.

Saving money gives you more time to experiment and learn.

Everything requires money, so it's important to save. If you make $30,000 and spend $30,000, you are basically broke. But if you make $30,000 and spend $5,000, this will get you ahead.

Because whenever you start something like hustling, business, etc. 

You will face tough times. I remember when I built an e-commerce store. I spent about $3,000 on its creation and marketing. But after a few months of getting nothing out and my savings running out, I had to leave everything.

3. Action over anxiety

This very last thing, and believe me, this is a very important step that everyone goes through.

You will lose patience, and this will lead to anxiety.

But, how will you avoid it? By taking more action; sounds funny, right?

Okay, the main idea is this:

• You don’t waste time with people who aren’t really your friends. They just drain your energy.

• You use your time and energy to learn new skills. You can do this by working for someone or by experimenting on your own.

• You save money, and this will help get more life out of your hustle, businesses, etc.

But what if, after all this, nothing is working for you?

1. You keep thinking, why doesn’t this work for you?

2. Why is everyone else doing better than me?

And while these questions pop up, you get more frustrated day after day. You are losing your patience, which will lead to anxiety.

But above all, the solution is very simple: you are nervous because you are underpaid. But you will not get nervous when you have actually done the same thing 100 times.

Action >>>>>> Anxiety

Remember, the only thing you can control is you (yourself), not the output (money). So, instead of getting nervous about the future and thinking about why you haven’t made it yet, think…

You can only control your inputs, so focus on how you can become a better version of yourself. Because the whole thing is, you’re not just working for money's sake.

You are working to improve yourself.

You need to practice repeatedly. This will improve your skills, but it will also lead you to money. But if you keep asking, “What’s the point?” it might be hard to stay motivated. 

Things will become hard for you.

So, my advice here is to get rich; always adopt the approach of ‘action over anxiety.’

Putting things into pieces

1. Stop wasting your time and energy in your 20s

2. Start working and learning things that matter to you most

3. Stop wasting money in your 20s

4. Start using it to maximize your output

5. Stop worrying about your future

6. Start putting more effort into your actions and repetition
