0:04.27 – 0:10.24 (6.0s)

A couple of tequila shots, a lukewarm beer later, you go to the bartender to close out your tab.
0:10.81 – 0:17.01 (6.2s)

0:17.95 – 0:31.50 (13.5s)
4
On one particular night out in 2016, I had to wait until 12:01 for the direct deposit from my paycheck to actually hit my bank account to be able to pay my bar tab.
0:32.50 – 0:45.31 (12.8s)
5
At the time, I was living paycheck to paycheck.
0:45.34 – 0:48.24 (2.9s)
6
And if I’m being honest, the embarrassment I felt that night would stay with me for years.
0:48.68 – 0:55.65 (7.0s)
7
Even though I had a fancy job on Wall Street, my personal finances were a mess.

9
And at night, I would go home and wonder if one more pad thai order would set me over the financial edge.
1:08.90 – 1:16.64 (7.7s)
10
Sadly, this is not a unique experience.
1:17.88 – 1:21.21 (3.3s)
11
Many young people still feel hopelessly lost when it comes to our money.
1:22.01 – 1:28.25 (6.2s)
12
And this is in part due to the existing financial system.
1:28.79 – 1:32.56 (3.8s)
13
Personal finance education is not taught in K-12.
1:33.46 – 1:37.13 (3.7s)
14
The past five decades of policy implementation has led to a deep divide between the haves and the have-nots, and if we're being honest, the financial-services industry, as it currently exists, is really only set up and incentivized to help, well, the already wealthy.
1:37.16 – 1:55.65 (18.5s)
15
But here's where the story starts to get really good.
1:56.88 – 2:00.25 (3.4s)
16
There has never been a better time to get financially literate than right now.
2:00.98 – 2:06.52 (5.5s)
17
Knowledge that was once locked behind expensive advisors is available at your fingertips.
2:06.92 – 2:13.53 (6.6s)
18
10 years after bar night, I have become the financial educator I so desperately wish I had had back then.
2:14.26 – 2:20.54 (6.3s)
19
I built my career teaching financial literacy, like a friend, across social media.
2:21.17 – 2:26.01 (4.8s)
20
And as it turns out, that boiled-down language and those silly jokes and those funny memes, they didn't make me any less credible.
2:26.61 – 2:35.15 (8.5s)
21
But they sure did make me more understandable.
2:35.85 – 2:39.69 (3.8s)
22
What started as just videos on social media has turned into a podcast, not one but two books, and if all goes according to plan, a full-blown tech startup.
2:40.52 – 2:50.37 (9.8s)
23
The financial world has finally opened its doors wide.
2:51.07 – 2:54.51 (3.4s)
24
But here are the three things I wish I had known to do all those years ago, when I was so desperately broke and wanted so desperately to be very, very rich.
2:55.87 – 3:06.72 (10.8s)
25
One, learn the language.
3:07.52 – 3:09.85 (2.3s)
26
The financial language.
3:09.89 – 3:11.19 (1.3s)
27
Two, build community around money.
3:11.69 – 3:14.86 (3.2s)
28
And three, find modern solutions for modern problems.
3:15.36 – 3:19.73 (4.4s)
29
So let's dive into that first point.
3:20.36 – 3:22.27 (1.9s)
30
It's safe to say learning finance really is like learning a new language.
3:22.30 – 3:26.94 (4.6s)
31
401(k), IRA, 529, FICO, APY, AGI.
3:26.94 – 3:31.91 (5.0s)
32
Hello, can someone please help me?
3:31.91 – 3:34.88 (3.0s)
33
But my ask of you is really simple.
3:36.58 – 3:39.22 (2.6s)
34
Don't be afraid to be smart by looking dumb.
3:39.92 – 3:44.09 (4.2s)
35
Ask what the words mean!
3:44.92 – 3:46.56 (1.6s)
36
Don't be afraid to utilize resources like Investopedia or NerdWallet.
3:46.59 – 3:50.96 (4.4s)
37
And most importantly, find a financial mentor that speaks your language.
3:51.00 – 3:55.47 (4.5s)
38
Someone who has the industry chops to back up those smarts, someone who never promises you anything that's too good to be true, and certainly someone who never gives you that weird feeling in the pit of your stomach.
3:55.50 – 4:07.41 (11.9s)
39
Here are some of the ways that I have connected with people looking for financial guidance.
4:08.15 – 4:13.12 (5.0s)
40
First off, I nicknamed Jerome Powell "Fed Daddy" to explain rates lowering.
4:13.85 – 4:18.36 (4.5s)
41
(Video) Fed Daddy just announced we’re lowering interest rates, and a lot of people don't even know what that means, much less what it means for them.
4:18.62 – 4:25.66 (7.0s)
42
Translating headlines into action items.
4:25.66 – 4:27.80 (2.1s)
43
(Video) The federal government didn't clock in today, but I did.
4:27.80 – 4:30.83 (3.0s)
44
So here's how the government shutdown is going to impact you and your wallet.
4:30.83 – 4:34.47 (3.6s)
45
And even breaking down how celebs, like Kendrick Lamar, get rich and stay rich.
4:34.47 – 4:39.24 (4.8s)
46
(Video) Kendrick Lamar's family dancing in the "Not Like Us" music video wasn't just a clapback, it was a genius investment.
4:39.28 – 4:45.15 (5.9s)
47
When you understand the language, you understand what matters.
4:45.15 – 4:49.92 (4.8s)
48
And the response to turning finance into fun-nance has been incredible.
4:49.95 – 4:55.49 (5.5s)
49
And this leads us into our second point.
4:56.09 – 4:58.43 (2.3s)
50
While it's on financial educators to meet the next generation where and how they already live, it's on the next generation to build their own financial community.
4:58.46 – 5:08.24 (9.8s)
51
For years, we have been told talking about money is rude, tacky, taboo.
5:09.14 – 5:15.11 (6.0s)
52
But the last time I checked, Bob and Steve seem to have no problem trading investment tips as they're teeing off at hole three.
5:15.95 – 5:25.39 (9.4s)
53
It turns out, it’s really only a faux pas when we do it.
5:26.19 – 5:30.89 (4.7s)
54
It's time to change that.
5:31.80 – 5:33.23 (1.4s)
55
I, like so many young people, clock in daily for a full shift at the looking-at-my-phone factory.
5:33.80 – 5:41.87 (8.1s)
56
And whether you spend all of your time scrolling TikTok or reading Reddit threads, it's clear: having conversations around money takes the power away from the people up top and gives it back to us.
5:41.90 – 5:56.65 (14.7s)
57
The internet has led to the creation of spaces like Fishbowl and Glassdoor, where people can share true, real numbers, honest struggles and genuine victories without shame or judgment.
5:57.35 – 6:08.83 (11.5s)
58
And frankly, many of these conversations are still too raw to be had IRL.
6:08.87 – 6:13.87 (5.0s)
59
This online anonymity is empowering people to work together, with their digital accountabili-buddies, to make smarter financial choices.
6:14.97 – 6:24.62 (9.6s)
60
And my hope is that, as this generation gets more comfortable creating community around money talk, the generation after us -- they're going to grow up seeing money discussed so openly and authentically that they will enter adulthood with a level of financial confidence that their parents could have only dreamed of.
6:25.28 – 6:45.90 (20.6s)
61
And speaking of the future, you’ve probably heard the phrase: modern problems require modern solutions.
6:46.94 – 6:52.58 (5.6s)
62
It's never been more true.
6:52.61 – 6:54.08 (1.5s)
63
If I’m not getting a pension like my dad, and I can’t make a household’s ends meet on one income like my dad, and I certainly don't plan on working the same job for 40 years like my dad, why am I taking my dad's financial advice?
6:54.71 – 7:09.66 (14.9s)
64
Or worse, using my dad's financial advisor?
7:09.69 – 7:13.70 (4.0s)
65
My dad doesn't actually look like that, by the way.
7:14.26 – 7:16.67 (2.4s)
66
He's going to be so mad if I don't say that.
7:16.67 – 7:18.73 (2.1s)
67
Sorry, Dad.
7:18.77 – 7:19.94 (1.2s)
68
Robo-advisors are making sophisticated investment strategies accessible to everyone.
7:19.94 – 7:25.98 (6.0s)
69
Online banks are offering competitive rates without the burden of the overhead of brick-and-mortar branches.
7:26.01 – 7:33.18 (7.2s)
70
And innovative apps are turning complex financial tasks into simple, actionable things that you can do from the palm of your hand.
7:33.22 – 7:41.26 (8.0s)
71
These new platforms are just as regulated and licensed, and more often than not, they offer lower fees.
7:41.82 – 7:47.80 (6.0s)
72
And it’s not just startup hubs or VCs that are taking notice.
7:47.83 – 7:51.87 (4.0s)
73
Creators and educators are now turning into founders.
7:52.57 – 7:55.77 (3.2s)
74
For my story, what started as just content has turned into an app powered by AI -- working in conjunction with certified human experts, to provide guidance in plain English, like a friend, and more importantly, continues to educate first and foremost.
7:56.31 – 8:12.92 (16.6s)
75
New-age financial brands aren't just a replacement for traditional financial services; they're purpose-built for the way we live now.
8:13.56 – 8:23.13 (9.6s)
76
Designed to help you save smarter, invest easier, and build wealth faster than ever before.
8:23.43 – 8:29.47 (6.0s)
77
The future of finance isn't coming.
8:30.64 – 8:32.74 (2.1s)
78
It's already here and it's working for us.
8:32.74 – 8:35.35 (2.6s)
79
So to wrap us up, a decade has passed since my horrific bar tab incident, and I so desperately wish I could go back in time and provide past-Vivian with some of the solutions available to today-Vivian now.
8:36.38 – 8:51.16 (14.8s)
80
This shift towards financial accessibility isn’t just changing individual lives; it's building an ecosystem where everyone has a fair shot at prosperity.
8:52.13 – 9:01.74 (9.6s)
81
And my dream is that, a decade from now, the evolution in financial education will mean: there are fewer declined credit cards at bar night, a shrinking wealth gap and a financial future that is brighter than ever.
9:02.37 – 9:16.79 (14.4s)
82
Thank you. (Applause)
9:17.42 – 9:20.29 (2.9s)
关于本课
您正在使用跟读技巧通过视频"3 Things I Wish I Knew When I Was Broke | Vivian Tu | TED"练习英语口语和发音。
每天练习15到30分钟，将显著提高您的英语流利度和发音准确度。
什么是跟读法？
跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
如何在ShadowingEnglish上有效练习
- 选择您的视频： 挑选一段语音清晰、自然的YouTube视频。TED演讲，BBC新闻，电影片段，播客或雅思口语范例都很好。将URL粘贴到搜索栏中。从较短的视频（短于5分钟）以及您真正感兴趣的内容开始——兴趣是最重要的导师。
- 先听，理解上下文： 第一次听的时候，将速度保持在1倍速并仅仅倾听。还不要尝试重复。专注于理解其含义，收集新词汇，并注意讲话人如何强调单词，连读声音及使用停顿。
- 设置跟读模式：
- 等待模式：选择
+3s或+5s——在每句话播放完毕后，视频会自动暂停以便您有时间大声重复它。如果您想完全控制并在每次重复后由您自己点击下一步，请选择手动。 - 字幕同步：YouTube字幕有时会在音频前或后略微出现。使用
±100ms使它们完美对齐以助您准确跟读。
- 等待模式：选择
- 大声跟读（核心练习）： 这是真正发生改变的一步。当一个句子播放出来立刻——或在暂停期间——大声、清晰且自信地重复出来。千万不要只是张张嘴：要模仿说话者的准确节奏、重音、音高和连读。力求听上去就像说话者的影子，而不仅是逐字背诵。使用重复功能多次练习同一个句子，直到感觉自然为止。
- 提高难度： 当练习段落变得相对舒适后，就去挑战自我。将速度增加至 <code>1.25x</code> 或甚至 <code>1.5x</code> 以训练高速语言反射。或者将等待模式调整为 <code>关闭</code> 以进行连续跟读——这是最进阶同样收益最大的模式。持续的每日15–30分钟的练习将可以在几周内产生可见的效果。
