I wish artists would stop making these money mistakes

Thank you to Found for sponsoring this video! Head to https://get.found.app/e/kelsey to get a $125 bonus when you reach a balance of $5,000 within the first 30 days of account creation and maintain it for an additional 30 days.

I apologize for the somewhat controversial title, but I think some of this advice is worth me getting a few negative comments. I have seen way too many artists go into credit card debt and put themselves in financially precarious situations to start something new, when taking the slow & sustainable approach would have made them better off.

Some of the advice shared in this video might seem beginner/basic to some, and that's okay! Many people were not given an education in pretty basic personal finance, so I think it's important to rehash some relatively beginner info just in case.

Ultimately, your art isn't a get rich quick scheme. Results will not be immediate. Keep yourself safe, make good choices, and make big investments with a healthy dose of caution.

(also sorry for my eyes flicking back to my talking points a lot in this one, there was so much I wanted to cover and I wanted to make sure I got it all! I bought a teleprompter and will start experimenting with it soon to make videos even better)
