Why Mark Cuban Says Your 20s Money Advice Is Dead Wrong

Mark Cuban just called BS on every piece of financial advice you've heard about your 20s. While everyone's telling you to save more and spend less, he's saying the opposite: your 20s aren't about accumulating money, they're about rewiring your brain for wealth.
