Find a mentor, an older work friend, an uncle, just someone you can ask advice from. I’m 28 and I love sharing practice life wisdom with guys in their late teens and early 20’s.
Also, pay yourself first. Open up a saving account if you don’t have one already and deposit 10% of your paycheck in it each day you get paid. You’ll learn to live under budget and have a good emergency fund after a few months. My wife and I have been doing this for years. Both of us make humble livings but we see ourselves in a better financial situation than a lot of our peers.
