Young Blood Bad Advice: Aiyaa!

Hello Jackie Chan here! I read this article and my head spins like when I'm fighting ten bad guys at once! Young people Gen Z they're getting their financial advice from TikTok and YouTube?! Wah! That's like learning kung fu from a cartoon! This Sheila Bair she's worried and so am I. These 'finfluencers,' they're like those sneaky villains who promise you power but only want your money. Remember 'Don't be greedy. When you are greedy you lose everything!'

Borrowing Trouble: Not a Good Stunt!

These finfluencers are saying that earning money by working hard is for 'chumps,' and that rich people borrow big sums. What a load of dragon droppings! That's like saying you can win a fight just by standing still! They talk about investing in risky stuff – tech stocks crypto – it's a recipe for disaster! It's a path to 'quick ruin,' as Sheila Bair says. I've seen quicker ruins in my movies but this is real life not a stunt!

Diversify My Friends! Like My Fighting Styles!

These finfluencers they also say no to diversified low fee stock funds. That's crazy! It’s like only using one move in a fight! You need variety! And retirement accounts? They discourage those too! It is very important to plan for the future! Its like knowing that if you dont train hard you cant perform when you need to! Also they are trying to take the tax benefits away! I also read they encourage making minimum payments on credit cards! It sounds so bad! You get so much interest costs!

Why Listen to Clowns When You Can Hear Experts?

The problem is these finfluencers they make it entertaining. I understand that! I try to make my movies fun! But finance isn't a joke! You need real trustworthy advice. That’s why banks and financial institutions are there. They know what they're doing! It's like knowing the difference between a real punch and a movie punch!

Free Advice is the Best Kick!

Regulated institutions are the best! They're boring maybe but they're safe! They can show you how to open accounts avoid fees. They have regulators watching them! And the FDIC has 'Money Smart'! Free advice is the best kind! It's like getting a free kick in a fight – use it! 'I never wanted to be the next Bruce Lee. I wanted to be the first Jackie Chan.' So be the first you to be smart with your money!

Keep It Simple Like a Good Fight Scene!

Sheila Bair says it best: set a budget stick to it save regularly and invest early in a low fee fund. Keep it simple! Like a good fight scene – you don't need a million moves just the right ones! And ignore these finfluencers! Check their credentials! Question their motives! If it sounds too good to be true it probably is! I am just an actor but know that regulation and oversight are very important! Remember 'I'm not afraid to be stupid!'
