“This is a major one. If you want to quickly save money after college, you MUST adhere to this.”

Today we’re going to talk about how to save money as a young adult. If you’ve clicked on this post, you’re probably here because you recognize the importance of saving and are ready to start doing so effectively.

As a young adult, more money saved means having less debt and a bigger safety net. It means quickly achieving those big financial goals, like buying a house or getting a new car. And it means freedom to travel and to have fun life experiences.

While money isn’t everything – no, it definitely isn’t – it is needed to live a life of comfort in modern day society.

I’ve never woken up at the same time every day. Never.

Do at least some of these circumstances sound pretty similar to you? I’m willing to bet they do.

So when I switched to self-employment about a month ago, I made myself a promise. I would try waking up at 7 AM every single day. Yes, that includes weekends.
