The Real World: A Four Month Retrospective
- smoyer 14y agoIt's a good thing the weight of responsibility is lowered onto our shoulders slowly. You're complaining about bike maintenance, but owning a home is way worse (something is always broken). And when you get married, your spouse is likely also working ... it's quite a shock when one of you has to stay home with the kids. My advice to any newly graduated (and newly earning) workers is to save everything you can. And if you get married, live off one income while saving the other. Have fun ... life can be rewarding without spending a dime!
- hartleybrody 14y agoThanks for the encouragement! I've been trying to focus on saving money, but lately I've been turning more to alternative sources of income to boost the amount I can tuck away. It's hard as a 22 year old to learn proper spending habits when almost everyone around me has bad ones. I wrote a bit about it here: http://blog.hartleybrody.com/first-million/ http://blog.hartleybrody.com/first-million/
