What I Wish I Knew About Money In My Early 20s

Let’s spice things up! Today marks the first post in a new category here on my blog, which will cover all sorts of topics related to financial freedom. In the past couple of years, I’ve started to explore the mysterious yet fascinating world of money. Well, not only money per se, but also wealth and how to build as well as manage it.

I’m still only dipping my toes into the deep waters of personal finance, but am eager to learn more (as I begin to earn more bahaha). I guess you gotta start somewhere though, and I thought one good place would be to look back at some of the things I wish I knew about money in my early 20s.

In the above video I talk more in depth about the following four things I wish I knew about money:

  1. Track your expenses and save as much as possible.
  2. Quit emotional shopping.
  3. Talk about money and finances with family/friends.
  4. Start investing early (even if it’s with pocket money).

What is something you would’ve liked to know about money in your teens/20s/30s?
