I spent six months aggressively applying for jobs and went through 55 interviews before getting an offer. I was once a poor college student, so just landing a job with any consistent salary made me feel rich. But I continued living like a student for years even after my first full-time job. It took a lot of willpower and discipline to save as much as I did. I didn't make excuses as to why I needed nice clothes or a new car. I shared a tiny studio with a friend for two years to keep my living costs low.
Remember, if you're not in pain from the amount of money you're saving each month, you're not saving enough. Working hard takes absolutely no skill.
I promise that if you're the first person in the office and the last to leave, you'll get ahead. Pay your dues early and you can relax when you're older. Will your social life suffer? A little bit, yes. But you're young, remember? Your energy is limitless!
Early in my career, I got to work at a. I learned a lot, got more done and gained the respect of my peers. And because my boss recognized my hard work ethics, I was able to save my job during the dot-com bubble burst. You can land bigger wins for a small portion of your portfolio.
Don't go crazy and blow all your money away, but be willing to experiment with aggressive investment strategies. Like I said, when you're young, you have very little to lose. Part of it was luck.
But I did my research, took a big risk and it paid off. Inflation is a beast. Make it a goal to own a primary residence as soon as you know where you want to live for the next five to 10 years. The mortgage has since been paid off and the property now generates a steady stream of income. The richer you become, the more frugal and low-key you should be. Too many young people waste money on things they don't need — simply to show off to their friends or on social media. The folly of youth is believing that there's always enough time for everything.
Youngsters often believe that retirement, or wealth building, is something that comes later in life, and are more preoccupied with the concerns of the now.
Unfortunately, this often leads to a cycle of "Oh, I should do that next month," month after month, until before you know it, you're 10 years older and you've missed out on a decade's worth of compounding interest. The first step is to stop procrastinating; saving and investing is scary, but the longer you wait to do it, the fewer advantages you have.
My use of the word "secrets" in the title of this article might have brought you here hoping for a guaranteed, almost magical solution to make you wealthy. There isn't one. The fundamental objectives are simple: Make more than you spend, and use the excess to invest wisely. How you invest is up to you with a few caveats below , but the obvious goal is to make investments that have a high likelihood of making you more money in the future. That's it. The ways to achieve this are by making more money, spending less, and investing more wisely.
Your next goal should be to invest in yourself; you are the best resource you have to accumulate wealth. Investing in yourself means spending more time on your education, refining your own skill sets, and branching out to meet new people who might help you achieve your goals.
The more educated, skilled, experienced, and connected you are, the more valuable opportunities you're going to get, which means higher salaries and more options for you down the road, both of which will help you build a stronger financial foundation. Remember the steps from point 2: Make more money, spend less, and invest wisely.
Point 3 covered making more money, and this one covers spending less. If you are starting out, read this to get a basic grip on investment information and why should we invest. Jun 02, Harrsh Ankola rated it liked it.
