We break down how stocks actually work, how to start investing, and the fundamentals every investor needs. We cover diversification, ETFs, the power of long-term growth, and why relying on logic and numbers—not emotions—is what separates real investing from gambling.

In this episode of The Young Bull, we dive into something most teens and young adults never think about—but absolutely should: retirement accounts. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m too young to think about retirement,” this episode will change your mind.

Starting early is the secret to financial freedom. Whether you want to work for fun, travel without stress, or simply build wealth effortlessly, it all begins with understanding the tools designed to help you grow money over time: 401(k)s, IRAs, and the power of compound interest.

We break down:

• What retirement accounts actually are
• How 401(k)s work (and why employer matching is free money)
• The difference between Traditional and Roth contributions
• Why Roth IRAs are a cheat code for young investors
• How compounding turns small amounts into huge long-term growth
• How teens can start investing—even with a part-time job
• Custodial Roth IRAs and contribution limits
• Smart first steps for young adults starting their first real job

You’ll learn how investing just a little money early can grow into hundreds of thousands—or more—by retirement. No complicated jargon, no fluff, just a clear roadmap to help you start building wealth now, not “someday.”

If you’re a teen, a young adult, or someone just starting your financial journey, this episode will give you the exact foundation you need to get ahead.
