I have 3 adult children. I try to get them to install an investment app, stop buying chipotle and save their money, tell them they need to have a budget… I’m met with eye rolls.
As our founder Peter Polson shared in his conversation with Eleanor, a recent college graduate, starting when you’re 22 will have a huge impact over waiting until you’re 32.
Pay yourself first. It’s always easier to save money you don’t “see.” To save for long-term goals (a car, house, vacation, etc.), set up automatic transfers from a checking account into an account that earns interest.
For young adults (or older) who are employed, always take advantage of “free money” from your employer. Enroll in the company’s 401(k) plan and make a small contribution every pay period to take advantage of your employer’s matching contributions. The “magic of compound interest” is real. Review your account each year and adjust your contributions upwards as your salary increases.

These are EXCELLENT tips @Rebecca.S and I’m going to show this to my children… because we all know they listen to someone else better than they listen to you
