On July 8th, I sent “All My Homies Hate Taxes” to about 50 of my friends, and Young Money was born. Two months later, we are up to 500 subscribers. 10x in two months is fantastic. If you can do that with your money a few times, You’ll be retiring by the end of the year.

I’m not writing on a novel topic today. I wanted to try something new, and I need your help. I’ve written about a lot of stuff over the last two months. Balancing time and money. Investing 101. How to minimize your taxes. Take early career risks.

During this time, I’ve had a ton of you, some people I know and some I don’t, reach out to me saying you enjoyed the content. Positive feedback from you guys is awesome.

1) It shows that you guys enjoy the content.

2) It tells me that the information I’m sharing has been useful in your lives.

Now that we’re a couple of months in, I’m going to ask you guys to help me with something. I want you to pick your favorite article that I’ve written and forward it to someone who isn’t subscribed to this. Preferably someone who doesn’t know me.

Why?

1) I want to curate my content to make sure I’m writing about topics that you guys care about. I can track the most shared articles, and it will help me keep my newsletters in line with your interests.

2) I want to grow this newsletter to reach as many people as possible. It seems that you guys both enjoy these writings and find them useful. I imagine that if you feel this way, a lot of your friends will too.

Everyone has the same questions:

What should I do with my money?

How do I find a fulfilling career?

Where should I invest?

What’s the best way to achieve work-life balance?

Should I change career paths?

Should I buy a house?

What can I do about student debt?

I want you to help me reach your friends and family that may have some of the same questions as you. I have organized all of my prior posts below with a brief summary of each one. If you click a link, it will take you to that article. All of the articles have a button that will let you share the article.

Here’s all I need you to do:

1) Find your favorite article.

2) Think about a friend (or 2 or 3 or 4 or 100) that you think would enjoy said article.

3) Click the corresponding link below.

4) Share said article with said friend(s). You can text it to them, email it, share it via Linkedin, Twitter, or Facebook. Anything.

5) Get through two more days of work, and go enjoy your weekend.

500 followers in such a short time is awesome, and I appreciate each and every one of you. Now I’m asking for a small favor: help me grow this network to include your friends.
