Social media has a lot of people thinking they are behind in life. Half these folks are out here showing off on BORROWED money. Fancy trips, new outfits, but credit score is in the toilet. A few years of living modestly will set you up for a lifetime of comfort and financial freedom (especially if you don’t have kids yet). Live in a small apt, drive a used car, cut the cable cord, cook at home. Save your money! You can still go out sometimes but set a budget for it and stick to it. The come up takes time

The fact that she has a husband who is determined to give his wife the life she wants is so beautiful she is a blessed woman

This is a good man, he sounds like he really just wants his wife to be happy. I wish them well ❤️

On point. 25 the journey is just beginning. Don't put so much pressure on yourself.

Money isn't everything. I know many who have everything they could ask for but are miserable and even depressed for some of them. Just be happy and thankful of where you are in life. Stop comparing yourself to others. Everyone has their time to shine, be patient.

25??!! What are they stressing for? They still young... just keep working hard and focus on your marriage

Steve is so right about date nights. Besides, there are so many exciting things to in every state. They can always take affordable weekend trips. He’ll get there soon, his determination will definitely take him and his wife far!

some people are so focused on becoming the "Power Couple" they're not livng life

Really you are giving some great advise every time I watch you/........ Thanks Steve ..

Awesome guy who really got the advice he needed and he knew it. Wish him and his wife nothing but happiness.

"Press it, PRESS IT!" Steve went all Madea on us!

Best advice. You can decorate your current space to the way you want it and create your own haven, while you are on your way to your mansion. 💖

1:32 Lol look at those ladies, neglectingly clapping... "But I wanna big house"

James's advise was amazing because it not only came from wisdom but experience n sincerity....so many young people out here needs to hear n learn from this blessing of an advise👌💯💯💯

Such great advice! Guy seems like an awesome husband !

Wise words Steve. I hope the young man took them to heart.

25... Bruh.. You haven't even established a solid Career yet to even be Making Money over $60-70k per year.. Be grateful for what you have.. Not regretful for what you haven't..

Its true what those two said. My husband came to canada with me at the age of 21. He had 0$..and a suitcase with him..we lived with my parents for a longer time and slowly but surely got to make a life..he works VERY hard while i at at home with the kids. Now at the age of 27 we are hopefully going to be closing on a house deal soon. Its an old house that needs renovation but we would rather do that than buy a house where we have way too high of a payment. Our cars are all older but payed in cash so no debt there. All our friends and family try to show of with their big homes and cars but have so mucb debt. I dont want that. I would rather be happy and even if it mean having less right now. I will be going to work too whe the kids are a bit older so more money will come eventually and maybe then we can afford more vacations or nicer things but thats all in time. Dont cave into the pressure of media and celebreties who have all of the bling. Go at your own pace in your own time. As long as you do your best you will reach your goal evemtully one day

Uncle Steve always coming through with some words of wisdom... I appreciate that 👍

A big house comes with more stress if you can't afford it. No need to stress over what you are not ready for at 25. Their is real joy in being content and setting goals for what you want in the future and working towards them. Don't only set goals at the very top all the time. Set mid point goals along the way to the top so you can appreciate progress without the pressure.

Yes yes he is true. Its not about quantity but quality

What a sweet young man. The advice was right on. Keep it simple. And don't compare yourselves to others. Live within your means.

He say a happy meal... I yelled out "WITH EXTRA CHEESE!" thats right steve!

Steve is amazingly smart and he really gave great advice here. Love you Steve and God bless you.😍😍

Wow Steve.....Thank you for this Speech 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Things do not gurantee happiness .

Well done said!

Steve is so wise I love it! Great advice

He said go get a Happy Meal and go sit at a park. seeing the picture of how far you come from where you started is a beautiful thing

He's so young 25 and its true be grateful you have a house and good health. Go for a picnic to a local beach and be happy .

I saw so many Steve Harvey's videos and l am very sure to say that Steve is a very good person and a very wise man.

Basically what he’s asking Steve is “y’all hiring?”

THANK YOU SIR FOR THAT SPEECH💯💯💯💯

The fact that he wants to provide for his wife would be good enough for me.

Thank you Steve!

One of my favorite of Ask Steve

Dropping straight facts

Great advise by the Guest and Steve !!!

👏👏👍One of the best episode from Steve Harvey show

Perfect answer!

Such great advice.. i try to live by these words of wisdom.

That's such great advice. U r the greatest Steve❤️🤗❤️🤗

Maaan id be happy with a crackerjack box ring and have a hardworking loving man that comes home to me every night. We can vacation in the parks and at the beaches until we can do better. Id rather a home full of love than material things any day!!

This is the realest question I’ve ever heard anyone ask

Steve I love your advice

Let me say this. I used to think I was the only person on the planet that actually believed "Money *DOES* by happiness" I really did. Because I believed happiness is subjective. What would make you happy, doesn't make me happy. Then I went to work for a divorce law firm and saw 14 years of multi millionaires, coming into our office for a divorce. Listening to their back stories, the cheating, infidelity, drug abuse, dishonesty, etc. etc, that was cold water in my face. Trust me, I now agree with the adage *"money doesn't buy happiness"*

Great answer Mr on the couch

You don't, leave, run while you can

Every advise said are on point and are so true

His wife need to chill out goddamn as long as you're paying the bills and you're happy what's the problem you're 25

I liked Steve's advice. It really shows that life has taught this man

Such good advice!

Great advise

Loyalty, trust respect .Material things you can gather together as a team.

Steve, your guest doctor is good in that he gives safe can't sue me aswers but, your responses are the real meat and potatoes that the young man needed. Just an observation!

It's the word of success from Steve. Made me realized.

Really you are great Steven😎☺

Great advice👍🏾

that is right totally agree

Good advice

Well said

Good advise!

2:30 “Success is not how far you’ve come! Success is how far you’ve come from where you started!” Amen 🙏 Steve!

There's some good advice in this video and thread that applies to a lot of people. It seems like everybody is trying to keep up with what they see on social media, or how they perceive others to be living. Most of those lifestyles are fake, not smart financial decisions, and/or short lived. Yes there are people who actually do live lavish lifestyles and can actually afford it, but they are few and it took a while to achieve most likely. The majority of people won't be rich or make a lot of money. That's just a fact of life. 75% of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck, and that's REGARDLESS of income. So having more money won't necessarily make for a more comfortable life. Usually it just means more unnecessary stuff that will be accumulated. Living within your means, being grateful, making smart financial decisions, and planning and building for the future will take you so far in life.

You know you addicted when you start to recognize the audience members 😭

Start with gratitude young man. Gratitude....

The best clip of all to those who are young and chasing material success. This young man is already on the good path since he asked a core question of life. He is successful by all means at his age 25 and only need to compare his present vs the past instead of vs others. Big house doesn’t mean sweet home. Build a home with love one. Cherish each other with your friends and families. Doesn’t need a lot money for that.

Being grateful is one of the secrets to success.

Neither person can make each other happy without God. Steve will testify to that. God first.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼We appreciate you Steve..

Good Advice

I like HOW steve speak to him in hood style.

Amen..Steve

I love this 😢😢😢😢😢👐

Both gave him absolute truth about happiness. - Actual Happiness is in my mind -

Yes james agree

1:53 He have 2 house and pink diamond Australian geologist guy 😎

Social media and all these realities shows are ruining relationships. People have a solid relationship until they start comparing to another, then the problem starts. The question as..." why can't you be like him/her?" You should know the kind of person they are before getting into a relationship.

Good advice,be thankfull for what you have and emotional band is more importend then having a big House and more.At first I had a small and old rental house,now I’m living in a newer and luxery bigger appartment.We all start somewhere ,be happy what you have and like “Lego”keep building.

the foundation is strong. be grateful for it before you risk losing it focused on the wrong things. you are blessed and more blessings to come as long as you stay grateful. also... you are enough! dont let your ego trick you. love is the richest thing in life and the richest person on the planet is broke of it and cant buy it.

That was on point. I have both a big house and a great family. Big house not important.

You can't want everything at the same time. Thankful for what you have and work hard towards your dreams. Enjoy your present season while working towards your final destination..

EMBRACE MINIMALISM, PEOPLE...EMBRACE IT!!!

It's about how far you've come

I have not worked in 10 years. My husband and i have a nice small home we don't travel much bc we still have two kids in high school. Our goal is to began traveling in the next 5 years. One thing he loves to speak on is how peaceful his life is. Love each other and make plans for the future while building on your life.

FACTS!

A happy meal lol Steve is hilarious

Finnaly a real question

Thank you Steve fine young man

Put God first, the house which fear God always will be happy. Second priorities things. Most of us we dont have priorities. When we get money just spending money without account. I have worked with minimum wage bofore, and on our first anniversary i surprised my lovely wife for a trip to Dubai, we had great time of our lives. So put God first always you will be happy, and then priorities. Is the waay better to have a small house and have happy family, than have huge house and spend most of your time looking for money to pay for that house, and then you loose a family. Do a research, most of rich forks their family life are misserable. Money is not solution to happy home, Gos is.

That audience guy in hot pink shirt is impressive. Great coloring and body.

Respect

This conversation should be understood by his wife. She needs to hear it, and carve it in her heart, bless their family.

Find a new woman she is pressuring you too much already !You are a good man don’t let no woman stress you do your best a good woman will see and help you and not stress you .

You are never responsible for a spouse fantasy lifestyle you just do that if you feel necessary or you have enough luxury for that. I split bills with my husband and we spend on each other. We have a good finance and we go on vacation at least twice in a year and we both pay for the bills. Its always a wonderful experience for my husband and I, although I wouldn't I'm in a perfect marriage trust me I have been married for over 36 years and we are still going. My families financial structure became firm with the intervention of Brittney Adams a Financial guru.

True. True, happiness is the key of life. It's ok to dream big, you can have it all. But deep inside you ain't happy. What you needed is" be love and healthy...

You know some ppl just think if them go out of them way to please them other half them gonna stay with them no they wont good advice and thank u u all need to cherish the little things thats how the blessing come

One of America's problem is wanting the big expensive house and expensive cars. Day after you buy them you're unhappy because now you're stuck in a job you may not like but have to keep the job so you can pay for those expensive things. Live low key and do in-expensive things together. Then you can take trips when you want.

Take a piece of the humble pie and be content.

Look here Steve you are always right on with your advice. Young man you do the very best you can and don't be trying to live "HIGH on the HOG" if "PIGLET" funds are all you may have right now....I mean really.
