Real talk, in my early twenties I was reckless. Always losing my debit card, partying was my priority, rent money could be figured out later. The shock of discovering how expensive furniture is! Staying at the bar until my direct deposit hit, because I had zero dollars. It’s nothing special, that’s what those years are for. If it taught me anything it was save a much as you can, when you can.
There was always some emergency, phone breaking, laptop breaking, roommates using your money instead of giving it to the landlord, just random, unforeseen shit. Do yourself a favor SAVEEEEEEE. Even if it means hustling super hard for a few months. Having that cushion changes everything, whereas living paycheck to paycheck can keep you stuck at toxic jobs. Are you covered in case of emergencies? How can you make that shift? Via: BudgetQueen_Blog
