Millennials: Get a credit card and max it out. Have your XGen parents to bail you out next month. Bang! Positive Portfolio Credit History under your name.
Oh wait, you're parents can't afford to pay for your credit cards? REALITY TIME with your personal finances.

Grant Goldberg says:

DON'T USE YOUR CREDIT CARD! CANCEL THEM AND LISTEN TO DAVE RAMSEY.

Uhhg I got that dark thought to purchase Madden 2020 when I don't have a job, not smart. I have to wait til I start working, I'm excited to work my job. I've been sitting around doing more homework than Netflix and watching TV shows. Video games make me not pace when bored or even exercise.

My New Year's resolution is to do the splits and save up for a Roth IRA.

Yuri Lana says:

This is now illegal in most places – over consumption

Here is a tip.. Give them the money you would have spent on them that way they can buy what they want..

ZigZag says:

“There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up.”

Proverbs 21:20

Basically, save your money, and don’t spend everything you have. Otherwise, you’re a fool. Don’t live beyond your means. Don’t go into debt, and if you are in debt, get out ASAP. Do what it takes. If you’re not paid enough, then get a better job. If you have to, work another job.

Um how about don't buy extra crap and learn to reuse.

Derail07 says:

Don't buy cheap Chinese black Friday garbage… And learn how to cook! You are welcome! Also hey hot chick in the video..you single? Everyone wants a cheap girlfriend!

GFX Charkk says:

This video sounds very stupid because they talk to stupid people
There are a lot of people that are in debt, even while they have a decent paying job, just because they are stupid.

Travess Wolford says:

Very simple: don’t spend money you don’t have

Christopher Gill says:

Do u really need it? If u don’t have cash to buy, u probably shouldn’t be buying it.

Cameron J says:

Tips to avoid going into debt: Stay home & don't buy anything. Works 100% of the time, everytime.

#1 tip: just don't spend your money

RC says:

I’m already in debt from buying my husband the new robotic heated sex doll????

Don't spend more than you have.
