Living On Six Figures A Year | Millennial Money Marathon
definitely considering some investment homes. I already make 190k on my 9-5 but Because I have 4 kids, Its harder trying to save with daycare, I need something to offset the costs, as well as give us college money for them.
Alex’s job is literally life and death. Id say hes under paid
Why do they always say: "Money doesn't make YOU happy." They should say: "Money doesn't make me happy." You don't know me and what makes me happy :)
24:53 imagine if she had held on to the Bitcoin.
If I had known that I could make 230k by overcoming my fear of heights, I would've been throwing myself out of planes a long time ago.
The whispering fowl microregionally rescue because sweatshirt psychologically charge after a mixed memory. smiling, youthful rooster
Loved bukola’s episode her story was so inspirational ❤️ I’m now also learning coding myself.
Self made millionaire 💪🏽
This is amazing. ❤️❤️
The second to last guy is incredible.
They all immigrants
That’s the quickest 44 minutes I have ever spent. It was worth watching. Sincerely it was. Thanks #CNBC_make_it and let’s make it
Inspiring and life changing. Keep it up.
Can we get some gen z people in here?
What’s the retreat Bukola mentions? I want to do that too
Alex Sanchez grit, work ethic and determination is immaculate. All of these millennials work is impressive. I love these success stories! Go after your dreams. Most people live pay check to pay check instead of diversifying. Diversity your income sources and invest in yourself. Although, am split on the idea of revealing incomes - some people think its a taboo topic. Similarly, you might reveal that you are earning more money than your colleagues / seniors and then the politics and back stabbing starts. Thoughts?
You guys should do gen z money
I love these people but did CNBC really just repackage their earlier pieces into a montage?
@TrendyMadness wonder if they pay the people featured in it for using the footage again. oh well. I could finish watching. I realized they already showed those as individual segments months ago and i watched them back then
Hey, free views which means free money. 5 ad breaks on this
yesss i’ve been watching the come up since bukola had her individual episode and i love her content so much!
A lot of 1st generation born American 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Immigrant parents go through a lot, all we wanna do is pay them back 🥺❤️
Bukola and Alex are Killing it. true discipline right there. Icons.
Would love to see a follow-up series with some of these guys to see how far they've come since their episodes aired!
Easy come, easy go. Let's hope they're saving most of it for tomorrow as opposed to spending it on today's wants.
Y'all need a covid update video on everyone

5:29: $800/month into a 401k, but $1,000/month into his Robinhood account. Seems like a reasonable guy. I wonder what his rationale is on that decision. Seems very unwise especially at his tax bracket.
Minimal rent helps.
Graham i know u here! I can't wait for your reaction 😊
Graham is going to absolutely lose his mind when he sees this
When are we getting "Gen Z Money" Series
Well, probably never cause the video would be 30 secs long lol, Gen Z here too
Don’t make 6 figures but I live with my mom rent free 3 years now, saved up around 200k - looking to buy new house this year! Hopefully I can raise my income like these folks, don’t want that 30 year mortgage.
Hold your horses, don't dump a huge chunk of money on SFH try a duplex or something. The interest rates are still low.
consider buying an investment property at the beach in full and staying another year with your mom. By that time, you'll have made nearly half of what you've saved back
Great job. I love to see us (millennials) changing the narrative. #LetsGoooo
I’m excited to be on again... I would say next year. I should have a pleasant surprise for everyone. Thank you CNBC forever greatful for this fantastic UZworld channel.
You are inspiring, I agree you should start a UZworld channel and share your experience in details while teaching others.
You should make a UZworld channel too! More income
Wow! I'm honored to be featured in another CNBC video! Thanks so much to the CNBC Make It Team!
A 45-minute episode? Is this like a compilation video?
Yup, it’s a compilation.
TLDR: this is a compilation NOT an update on the Millennials featured. I know, I am disappointed too.
Children of immigrants who grew up watching their parents work super hard. They learned to be frugal & they all save & invest a significant portion of their income. And they give back.
Hard but rewarding!!!
Bukola! 👏🏼 I follow her on UZworld. Love her channel.
He was recommended,, I tried him and Experthackerstech.com never fail as predicted
Love this episode, but isn't this a weird day to drop this video? *Overthinking*
I am waiting for Graham Stephan to react to this
@graham
Not everyone has the advantage of the 1031 real estate exchange tax loophole you guys in the US have. This is truly THE way to become rich, nothing else compares. With that in mind, it's just stupid to not invest in real estate as a US citizen. Other countries encourage other investments (e.g., stock market through lack of capital gain tax). But as I said, it doesn't even come close to the 1031 thing
What’s the 1031 exchange?
I agree! Real estate drives wealth tremendously.
Living on 5 figures 🙈
iam here too!!
Loved Bukola's epi. Alex's story worried me, all that money is useless if youre missing important family events, and putting so much stress on your body.
@Ayaoba Olori So his mother doesnt have birthdays? No one in his family has birthdays? There are no special occasions with his gf to celebrate? Did you not comprehend anything that I wrote?
Am sure he’s smart enough to adjust once he starts growing his own family. He mentioned that he lives at home to help his mom
I don’t wanna watch this without GRAHAM
Ugh what she said at 9:33 makes me so mad! Continue to represent for us sis!
I love the messages in these videos! Everyone has so much potential, it is amazing to hear these stories! Thank you! Matt
Are we running out of millennials that we have to do replay?
I think they're just repackaging content because they're probably having difficulty shooting and releasing the same volume of content during the pandemic.
I guess it's just hard with the pandemic and all
Graham reach yet?
CNBC Can we get a "where are they now" series doing an update on these people? It would be interesting to see how they have progressed and if/how COVID has impacted their revenue streams.
I thought that this video would have been about that.
You should email,them aswell
Absolutely. Covid hit high end workers also.
It's so good to see young people living this kind of life. We can do too. 🙏🏿
Hm.. I recognize the first one. Graham reacted like a year ago. Wonder if it’s any new info.
Very great initiative
Nice work 🌠🎇✨
100% u do not need a college degree... I’ve got one, a 4 year degree in Economics, i did it back in the mid 1990s, its was cool and all and it allowed me to get a foot into the door in my chosen career in Finance and Markets. I find a lot of millennials these days get degrees in absolutely useless topics in humanity, political science, communications and law. They have a very smug know it all attitude, they have zero skills in just picking up the phone and calling a client. The last 10 years we 100% overlook the college degree, we look for young people with the right attitude and willingness to learn and we have had pretty good luck with non college educated. We have had some very bad luck with hiring college degree holders. We are producing millions of smug snowflakes with useless degrees, god help us.
@Lee_ Rayyy 👍 perfectly welcome to ... email me anytime
@Brendan T oh wow thanks! Yes I would love to reach out to you more I have a few more questions! Will be emailing you soon thanks man
@Lee_ Rayyy good questions... graphic design u need specific skills in software like Adobe. IMO you can learn all that yourself directly without the expensive cost of a college degree, however its takes a huge amount of discipline to do it own your own. Its a question of finding a company that are not snobs in automatically turning people away just because they lack a college degree. If u have a killer portfolio of your work, thats worth 100x time a college degree IMO. My gripe was directed at the College Degrees that teach you very few to no transferable skills like Political Science. If u want to reach out to me on gmail for more info brendanhk2001@gmail.com. I was a financial recruiter in Hong Kong for 15 years, prior to that i was on an institutional equity sales desk with an investment bank.
How do you feel about graphic designers? That’s the field I’m looking into im learning at home right one building the degree while in quarantine without the degree but would you still hire someone like me if I had the degree or would rather I didn’t but I had a portfolio instead of a degree
Wow, look at all these oppressed black people! America is so hard and unfair for them, can't believe they've tried to be successful and actually did it. It's almost like people are equal.
@RAM easy to be a racist behind a UZworld comment huh Kyle?
@Al P. Try some counseling, cry baby.
You’re one of those idiots who think systemic racism doesn’t exist.
These are the rare Black people though most don’t get this. Some don’t deserve to be up here with these people and some do. I guess it’s human nature and only certain people can be at the top Blacks, Jewish and asian Americans are still pretty discriminated against
@graham stephan is gonna love this
Young adults making 200k+ isn't representative of the demographic
I agree
Wow...nice
0:10 what doesn't get measured doesn't get managed. Love that quote.
Graham gonna have a field day with this😂😂😂
these are repeats that he has already reacted to
Can’t wait 🤩
Definitely a life goal.
I thought it was going to be a follow up with some of them with how they grow since being on & COVID
Life is what you make it!
Waiting for Graham ☺️☺️
Waiting for Graham Stephan review
Bukola’s episode is still the best episode I’ve ever seen
@Ashley LaRose Love hearing this! I also did a Bootcamp after watching Bukola’s story and now I’m an employed engineer so she was very inspirational to say the least😅
True, she is awesome!
@Kenneth O yes I did a bootcamp. It’s normally an in-person bootcamp but they moved the course online because of the pandemic. It was very INTENSE. I don’t recommend working at all if you do one because you have to put in hours outside of class to really grasp the concepts. Also make sure your self care routine is impeccable. I didn’t have any experience whatsoever so picking up the new concepts, algorithms, etc was draining. But because I learned how to replenish myself I never gave up (did I get tired and feel unmotivated: yes. But I did quit?: no). And do your research to find a reputable program if you do a bootcamp. I was between a few bootcamps when making my decision. But then I actually found out someone in my network did the bootcamp I did and they found employment in 2 months so when I saw his work I knew I wanted to do the same bootcamp. Also I would say coding is hard and you can’t ever stop learning. I would read more about why not to go into coding to see if it’s really for you. Regardless of the route you taje to become a developer, it will be time consuming and (unless you go self taught) it’s very expensive so make sure it’s something you’ll actually like. I’ve never had a more stressful job but I enjoy what I do now so it balances out. But I know some people may not enjoy strict deadlines, heavy team work, lots and lots of reading, lots of pre planning, meetings, etc. I hope this helps!
@Prettyfly yes, I studied social science and language in college (psych, socio, and Korean) and I was working at a vet clinic before I made the switch
I was so inspired by her story too. I started following her when I was in a data science bootcamp. Her career change and income level inspired me and made me feel like I could do it too.
Great inspirations!!! Can’t wait to hit the six figure mark one day!!
6 figures is within reach for those who work hard towards it day.
I want to thank CNBC for filming to us these headings . I find it extremely helpful by seeing how people around the globe cope with the money issues and get financial literacy . I’ve been binge watching for the last week and learned so much .... I learned that there’s so many opportunities and we have to make effort instead of complaining as many do. I’m happy for immigrants in the US. The USA gives you freedom in every aspect of your life!!!! I myself 18 years and about to turn into 19 in a month. Things I’m doing so far : own online business, tracking both income and outcomes. But thing I’m struggle about is passive income and savings . Folks , I’d like to hear and get some advices . Thanks in advance. Be healthy, grateful and strong . Good luck P.s if there are somebody learning Russian , I can offer you some friendly calls as friend . I’m looking for language exchanges and friendship!
Time to get mad at people with different skin colors making more than you!
Wut
Lol
compilation video
If you're reading this you have potential to create great things. Yes. You
Millennial role models! Make your kids watch this and realize their lives can be so different if they shift their mindset!
Maybe its parents who need to shift their mindset and stop imposing specific careers on their kids
You dint find new people to do this?
Because it's a marathon of old videos
So motivating, I love it!
This man knows what’s up
Millennial money marathon!
I smell a Graham Stephan marathon reaction video. ❤️
He already reacted to these videos separately
It’d be cool if they uploaded the footage that we didn’t get to see from old episodes Like this is cool
I could swear they uploaded thus before
I smelt this video come to my UZworld account. I got here 3 minutes after it was posted 😆
