Are you investing while drowning in debt or without any emergency savings? In this video, I break down why investing too early can actually make you poorer, not richer. Too many people are trying to build wealth while skipping the financial foundation — and it’s costing them more than they realize.

You’ll learn:

Why bad debt kills your wealth faster than investments can grow it

The real purpose of an emergency fund

The right order to fix your finances before investing

How to avoid the trap of being “penny wise and pound foolish”

If you’ve been told to “just start investing,” but your financial life is unstable, this video is your wake-up call. Fix this first — or stay stuck in the cycle of financial struggle.
