This eighteen and twenty-two year old are on track to reach financial freedom by the age of thirty. And if you think that you can’t make big money moves because you don’t have the experience, resources, or income to build wealth, think again. These two young adults are on the path to making millions in their lifetime, and if you’re in your late teens or twenties or have children or grandchildren who are, THIS is the episode to watch.
First, we talk to Gloria Stonelake, an eighteen-year-old who runs a social media marketing agency on track to bring in six figures in income a year. She’s still technically a high school student but spends almost all her time working on her business, learning leadership, and getting leads for her clients. She ditched the traditional route of getting a diploma, a degree, and THEN a job and skipped right to the money-making part. She has some incredible advice for ANYONE who wants to start their own business, no matter your age!
Next, Ben Carver joins us to talk about his high school house-flipping side hustle, how he became a real estate agent before getting his college degree, and the newest house hack he’s set to buy at just twenty-two years old! By thirty, both Ben and Gloria should be financially free, and if you want to hit FIRE in your 30s, 40s, 50s, or 60s, these wunderkinds are two to watch!
