I Wish I Knew These Harsh Money Truths in My 20s (No One Warned ME)

I wish I knew this harsh money truth in my 20s.
This video breaks down the money, work, and freedom lies many of us were taught—and how they quietly keep people stuck.

Growing up, many of us were taught to finish school, get a good job, work hard, and be patient—believing everything would eventually work out. But for a lot of people, that advice led to burnout, confusion, and financial stress instead of freedom.

In this video, I share the harsh money truth I wish someone had told me in my 20s—truths about money, work, careers, skills, and freedom that affect millennials around the world, including immigrants, people in the diaspora, and professionals in the Western world.

If you’ve ever felt like you did everything “right” but still feel financially stuck, mentally drained, or unsure about your future, this video is for you.
