If you could travel back in time and give your 18-year-old self one piece of money advice, what would it be? Would you tell yourself to save aggressively, avoid debt traps or utilize frugal living hacks or invest in assets destined to explode?

In this episode, I am joined by Dan Sheeks, a high school teacher and Author whose mission is to educate young people to think like millionaires. Dan Sheeks is the author of "First to a Million: A Teenager's Guide to Achieving Early Financial Independence," He wrote this and the accompanying workbook specifically for Gen Zr’s to introduce money management concepts for early financial independence.

Dan shares his motivation for teaching and giving back, as well as his own personal financial journey. He discusses the advantages and challenges for Gen Z when it comes to finances and the impact of social media on their money mindset. Dan emphasizes the importance of finding balance and enjoying the journey to financial independence. He also highlights the value of community and support in pursuing non-traditional goals.
