6 Things Guys Should Start Doing (Before Age 30)

About this video

McGoff presents six habits men should develop to age well and improve their lives: maximizing retirement savings through compound interest, getting clothes tailored for proper fit, maintaining dental hygiene with electric toothbrushes and floss, pursuing work they find fulfilling rather than just lucrative, remaining open to changing their minds on beliefs, and finding physical activities they genuinely enjoy. McGoff argues these practices represent meaningful self-improvement beyond generic advice.

Key takeaways

• McGoff recommends maxing out retirement contributions early to leverage compound interest—he illustrates that contributing $5,500 annually from age 25 to 65 yields approximately $1.5 million versus $220,000 in a regular savings account
• McGoff argues proper clothing fit is the most important fashion principle for men and recommends tailoring existing clothes rather than buying new ones, emphasizing this changed his life
• McGoff suggests a three-part dental routine: using an electric toothbrush for the full two minutes, daily flossing, and fluoride mouthwash to prevent future complications
• McGoff advises pursuing work you enjoy rather than just pursuing money, noting his YouTube channel was a side project before becoming full-time, and recommends experimenting through hobbies and side hustles
• McGoff values intellectual humility and changing one’s mind when presented with facts as a sign of maturity and strength rather than weakness
