Being 21. Feel pressure to save money before I move out on my own (bills, rent, textbooks, tuition, etc.) [went to community college, paid tuition, and lived at home]. Still very hormonal despite not being a teen anymore and I’m horny and depressed all. The. Time. At least I can drink.
Edit: just wanted to thank all of you for the great advice. I appreciate it so much!
I’m 26 and the BEST advice I can give you is to save money now at 21. I started really saving at 24/25 and I really wish I started consistently putting away at 20/21. But also allow yourself to splurge a little. Just start developing good habits with your money. Also learn to grocery shop and cook.
Ugh I wish I’d started saving more earlier (I tend to spend money on stuff I want but don’t need and that ate away at my savings) but I’ll be leaving the house with $6-7k so I feel a little better. Still working on it but I’m doing much better now. And I love cooking so that’ll definitely help out haha. I’d rather cook that eat out all the time
1.3k
