Be a Cash Saver AND Cash Investor
One of the best investments you can make early on is real estate, paying rent after 35 is just not wise and it’s not a good set up for retirement. Own some property put some money in mutual funds and invest in yourself and for an emergency down the road. I can promise you after surviving two recessions (one barely) the rainy days WILL COME.If you have really hard time-saving, open an online account or another bank account and take a percentage of each check and put it in the other account. I would suggest opening an account at an online bank with a high-interest return rate like Capital One.One other rule of money NEVER let people know you have it. That’s YOUR business and for YOU not for a long list of sob stories to separate you from it and to turn friendships upside down.
