There are base financial principles all youth should be familiar with as they face the future.
Planning
Create short and long term goals, even though they may change. Create a goal to work toward, and form a strategy to achieve it.
Budgeting
Organize how you are allocating your money. Pay yourself first, and then strategically distribute to your other expenses.
Saving
Create a less stressful financial outlook by knowing you always have a security net you have created for yourself. Start young while our expenses are few.
Credit
Gain an understanding of how credit is a financial tool. Learn the steps to build credit and missteps that can damage credit long term.
Investing
Even if we are not investing at a young age, we should have an idea of how the markets work and other ways to "make money work for you".
“Do not save what is left after spending; instead spend what is left after saving.”
Warren Buffett
