Some financial tips for a 20-something

  1. Put some efforts on your marketable skills:
  • Your 20’s is the period of time when you have all the chance to learn new things on professional basis. You can afford to make mistakes and learn from them.
  • As there is no responsibility of family as there’ll be in your 30’s, you can focus on yourself. Don’t waste this time in unnecessary things and focus on the marketable skills that’ll help you in future. Things like compiling a presentable e-mail, being updated with the latest technology, communication skills in English- all these aspects become a plus point in one’s career. After a point, you won’t have the chance to start from level one.
  • Another thing that becomes important in the long run is the number of bold decisions that you’ll make in your 20’s. When you explore more and don’t hesitate in experimenting, your future decisions become more accurate and all the exposure makes you see the importance of financial management as well.
  1. Establish and maintain a budget.
  • The key habit that you have to develop in your 20’s is to establish and maintain a budget. After all these years of limited pocket-money or financial support from your family, you have no idea how you are with money when it’s all up to you.
  • Sit and consider all your monthly expenses and see where all the money goes.  Try to minimize the irrelevant expenses.
  • It is also seen that an average 20-something spends a remarkable amount of money in outside food and drinks. You may find out that a large amount of money was spent on things that hold little significance at the end of the month. Avoid these little treats.
  • You can even develop the hobby of cooking. This has many perks. First, it’s good for your financial as well as physical health. Second, you can develop a new skill and who knows, kitchen could be the next wonderland where you create treats for yours and your loved-ones’ taste-buds.
  1. Get Insured.
  • 20’s is the time where your financial position remains shaky. You’re halfway to achieving your goals and in this journey, you can’t afford unnecessary hurdles.
  • Life can throw at us the most undesirable incidents when we least expect it, and proper insurance serves as a savior at such times.
  1. Start building your Emergency fund.  
  • Building up an emergency fund for those challenging days is also something that you need to consider. Keep almost 10-20% of your monthly salary aside; it’ll pay you in the long run.
  • You can follow some simple tactics to keep this money secure. Keep this money in another bank’s saving account, for example, and don’t take the debit card of that bank. Make it a challenge to keep that account untouched.
  1. Get your key financial documents in order.

Now it’s time to take the charge of your documents in your hands. Keep your birth certificate, employment letter, bank statements in order. Even your account details and passwords need to be cared for. A little careful approach for these things will keep your financial transactions smooth and worry-free.
