 Hey, what's up dreamers? I'm Zeke and welcome to The Dream Green Show. Are you in your 20 something looking to invest your hard-earned cash where you're in the right place? Whether you're a seasoned investor or just getting started, we have some tips and ideas for how to make your money work for you. There's something for everyone on this list. So grab your pen, your paper, notepad, whatever you got and get ready to jot down some of these game-changing ideas. Because remember, the wealthy always say time is money and you don't wanna spend all of your time making money. You want to make your money, make money for you. And if you're in your 20s, these ideas on this list is gonna help you get a jumpstart ahead of all of your friends. So enough talking, let's go ahead and dive straight into this video. Welcome back dreamers. Now as I go on, the ideas on this list is gonna go from very safe to where you would make some money to very risky, to where you could build wealth very quickly or lose it overnight. All right, so the first idea on this list is to start by building an emergency fund. You never know when an unexpected expense is going to pop up, a financial emergency might pop up. You want to have this because if anything ever goes wrong, you do not want to feel like you're not sure about where you're gonna get your next meal from. Trust me, I've been there, guys. You don't wanna have to just take any job just to get back on your feet. You don't wanna have to take any pay even if you just hate it just to make some money. So you wanna aim to save for around three to six months of your living expenses. And you wanna put that in a high-yield savings account earning anywhere from around two to 3% per year. That way if anything happens, you have more than enough time to find your next best move. That's why it's very important to have a savings account. In fact, I just did a video that majority of Americans do not even have $1,000 inside of that savings account. So if you do that, you're already ahead of the curve because if anything ever pops up, you could be patient and find the next best move for you and not just any move that would just drive you insane. Okay, our second option is one that I actually took when I was in my 20s and that is to invest in a diverse portfolio of stocks. This could be a great way to expose to a wide range of companies and industries which can help you lower your risk. You can open a Birkwich account and buy individual stocks or invest in a low-cost index fund that tracks the performance of a broad market like the S&P 500. I use Weeble. Now me personally, if I was in my 20s, I would not invest into just individual stocks. Especially if you're just starting off, I would invest into ETFs like V.O.O which tracks the top 500 companies in America all in one portfolio. So just buying that one stock, you have your game, you have your money, spread it throughout the top 500 companies in America or you can invest into QQQ which is more tech heavy and have more tech companies inside of their portfolio. You wanna build a great foundation around like 75 to 80% of these ETFs that cover the broad market. V.O.O, I'm gonna put a screenshot of V.O.O right here and QQQ, these right here tops the track companies in America, the top 500 companies and the top tech companies in America. Now after you have built a great foundation, you could now invest into individual stocks to take a little bit more risk. I highly recommend to invest into stocks that you actually use. Don't go out there and buy penny stocks from companies that you never heard of. Now me personally, I use Weeble to buy these stocks. You could sign up with Weeble down below with the link down in the description. If you signed up with Weeble, deposit any amount you'll receive up to four free stocks and if you deposit a hundred dollars, you can receive up to 12 free stocks. It's literally free money guys. I'm gonna leave that link down in the description. Do not miss out on this free money opportunity. So yeah, back to the individual stocks. You wanna invest into stocks that you use. Let's say if I have an iPhone or if I have Vagin Coca-Cola every day, I wanna invest into Apple or I want to invest into Coca-Cola. Companies that I actually use, I'm telling you it's gonna change the way that you invest inside the stock market just from investing into companies that you use. And then you can take the other 10, 5% and invest into your risky stocks. You can invest into your penny companies just because you're so young. You can invest these into your cryptos, your Ethereum, your Bitcoin, your penny stocks and that way you could have a little fun inside the stock market cause those could explode at any time and bypass your good foundation of ETFs inside of your portfolio. All right, now on to option three, investing in yourself. This can heal you your highest returns. Your 20s are a great time to invest in your own personal and professional development. Consider using some of your money to take a course certification and they feel that interest you. This could be a great way to improve your skill and increase your earning potential in the long run. Invest in an education that will increase your earning capacity. There are many courses out there guys if you do not have a college degree or if you do have a college degree that you could sign up you could become a welder within a year. You can actually invest that $1,000 to take a course and become a CDL driver. Now you're in your 20s, I'm not saying that you're gonna have your dream job. Instead you wanna become your CDL driver, you wanna take an online course, you wanna take the course from your favorite influencers or you just find a mentor inside of your own community and pay them to mentor you. You wanna take this money to invest into your own knowledge because I promise you guys knowledge is key. So let's just say you do invest into getting your own CDL, you're not gonna have your dream job in your 20s. Very few people do that. So right now you are hustling and you would flip that $1,000 into over $50,000 in a couple of years in your savings. And then you could take that and invest it into yourself or into your own business or to any other job that you actually like that you do not feel like it's a job to where you would go and work there every single day. Even if you wasn't getting paid for it, but your 20s, you're hustling in your 20s and you have to find a way to gain more knowledge, invest into yourself, invest into your future because the more you learn while you're young, the more money you're gonna make in the end. I promise you guys that is how it works out. So with all of that being said, we're gonna move over to the final one. And finally, don't be afraid to take some calculated risks. Your 20s are a time when you have the flexibility to take on more risks to consider exploring investments that have the potential for a higher return but also come with a higher level of risk. One way that has probably made the most millionaires within the last couple of years with this new generation will be investing into cryptocurrency. That's probably made the most millionaires in the last generation. You can also invest into cryptocurrency using Webull. But the way that I highly suggest is starting a side hustle, any side hustle will do guys and since you're in your 20s and you're so young, you have the freedom and opportunity to fail by the 10 times before something hits. Cause if you throw 10 ideas at the wall, one might stick and that could be the one to help you prepare yourself too well. So if you had a thousand dollars and you're really trying to find a way to make money, investments, the side hustle might be the best one, but you could lose your money. If you're just starting off, if you have not been hustling your whole life or had any other side hustle businesses, the first three might fail, but I promise if you do it 10 times, one of them is gonna stick. So one that you could do with a thousand dollars, you could start a car washing businesses. You could take a thousand dollars, buy all the towels, all the products, everything you need. You could just wash cars, the money that you make from that, you could reinvest that and buy a mobile car washing business and then while you're in your 20s, car washing might not have been your dream job, but while you're in your 20s, you're hustling. That could be a side hustle that you do from starting washing cars in front of your house to having a mobile car business. You can make over a hundred thousand dollars a year just from mobile car washing businesses. If you had a thousand dollars, you could buy a very good, a very good, high quality pressure washer and you could print out tons of flyers for just $50 and then you could pass those out to your neighborhood and you could pressure wash everybody driveway, everybody house and you make a ton of money that way and you can make your thousand dollars back that fast. And the way that I did it, I took a thousand dollars, I bought me a phone and I started my YouTube channel. I had probably around six channels before this one finally stuck. I had around six channels so I bought a good quality iPhone that had an amazing camera on it at the time. And so I took my thousand dollars, bought a camera, bought a mic and bought some editing software and I started me a YouTube channel and as you guys can see, that's the one that stuck and I actually love making videos for you guys. So if you could go ahead and hit that subscribe button that would help out this channel more than you guys can even imagine. So there's a ton of things that you guys could do. I would leave a link right here on my top side hustles that you guys could start with little so no money that could build you wealth within a couple of years. So those are just a few things. YouTube channel, car washing business, pressure washing business. You could flip items on eBay with just a thousand dollars. There's a ton of things that you guys can do with a thousand dollars. You just gotta have the right mindset and the knowledge and the drive and the hustle to make money this year.
