▼ + stars: | 2021-11-06 | by ( Allana Akhtar | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +5 min

Young women are using Instagram and TikTok to show others you can be both "cool" and sober. Alcohol alternative drink sales rose this year, on the heels of the "trendy" sober curious movement. Young women like Gomez are on a mission to prove it's "cool" not to drink, and ditching alcohol can even help women achieve self-care and empowerment. Plus, CBD-infused drinks — like ultimate cool girl Bella Hadid's Kin brand — promise a similar buzz without impairing your health or decision-making. Gomez's drink-less Instagram could have an aspirational effect: You can be a cool girl like her — if you don't drink.

Select asked Brian Stivers, a Financial Advisor and Founder of Stivers Financial Services, to help us calculate exactly how much money 25-year-olds should invest each month to become a millionaire. Here's what we found:A 25-year-old making investments that yield a 3% yearly return would have to invest $1100 per month for 40 years to reach $1 million. If they instead make investments that give a 6% yearly return, they would have to invest $530 per month for 40 years to reach $1 million. But if they choose more aggressive investments that yield a 9% yearly return, they would only need to invest $240 per month for 40 years to reach $1 million. As we can see, a higher return can allow you to invest less money each month and still achieve the same goal.
