    1. Accumulating credit card debt. Pay off all credit card bills.
    2. Have a rainy day fund of at least $1000; some experts say save up 3 months’ salary (use saving app)
    3. Save for retirement ASAP (go to HR and look into 401K)
    4. Invest (can use apps like Stash)
    5. Don’t lease car or purchase car that you can’t afford. Cars are depreciating assets. Buy affordable/used car
    6. Start saving for property! Put money towards an asset
    7. Get insurance (life, renters, health, pets, etc.) See app Lemonade

I wanted to start being responsible with my own money. I currently am in debt for my car rn but I’m paying it off every paycheck. It is really important to be mindful of your money. It does stress you out sometimes but it will be worth it in the long run. I’m still doing research on ways I could invest, It’s a never ending process. Thanks for your tips Amy! ❤️

    this type of information is really valuable especially now that we live in a very expensive world. i’m just 19 years old, but i’ve been saving since i started working, when i was 15 years old only. my mom is really the one who’s pushing me to save, because her experiences before about money has changed her (getting robbed, being manipulated into giving her money). now that i’m the legal age, i start to worry more (moving out, paying rent, buying food, paying car insurance), so it’s good that every single one of us knows how to handle money better and this type of videos should have millions of views, so that we’re educated more about money.

    thanks so much for this! i feel like this is a topic i avoid thinking about because i’m scared of it, but this helped me get the gears going and understand i have to start now :) also young women don’t often upload videos on topics like this, so to see another young girl managing her finances and everything gives me hope for myself

    Really enjoyed this. If anyone is looking for another personal finance book, "Money Diaries" is pretty good and simple and has a lot of great tips. It's slightly geared towards women too which I liked

    I love money talk! This morning I just inquired in my bank regarding a retirement fund (sadly we don't have great options in my country) but now that I have my my 6-month emergency fund all set so my goal is setting up that retirement fund by this year.
