news and stuff and then buy some ETS related to that and what would you say is the money really quickly in the past I used to be really into video games I don't know if you know Super Smash Bros yeah I went to a tournament and and won some pretty decent money for a high schooler so you should have been like a video game streamer then I know think about it but yeah maybe one day yeah um but what would you say is like the best investment you ever made I don't know how much Flack

I'll get for this but I do like some of the beam stocks I mean socks yeah just nice to you know keep an eye on these things and see how things are developing do you have any books you recommend to people that read there's a book it's called The Millionaire map okay and it talks about how people self-limit themselves with the amount of money they think they can earn and the difference between someone who earns X versus someone who earns a lot more is the person who earns a lot more just has a higher limit

for what they believe they can earn yeah and usually if you raise that limit in your mind and give yourself permission your mind gets to work on figuring out ways to make more money so I think that's crucial what advice would you give to your younger self to save money obviously invest younger the amount of time I spend on YouTube watching stupid videos okay awkward hopefully he's not talking about my stupid videos and then the last question is what would you say is your secret sauce to Building Wealth finding new streams of income I think
