I’m 35, but I had a junior SA approach me looking for tasks (though he is not even on my team) and I had nothing for him. So he asked if I had any advice for a 23 year old and all I could think to tell him was “Floss every day”.
Any of you guys got good advice for a young person just starting out in life?
Automate savings. Send $20 or $50 or whatever you can afford weekly/biweekly into Betterment or a high yield savings account, then just forget about it. It’ll stack up.
Also, if you’re in the US, set up a 401k ASAP. It’ll automatically save whatever percentage of your paycheck you decide to sock away, before it even hits yours bank account. Some employers even offer to match whatever you save up to a certain amount (usually some percentage of your monthly salary)! Ideally, do it before your first paycheck even comes in, so you don’t even notice the money’s gone.
