[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Max out retirement starting day 1 of a professional job;

Live below your means -- whether that's living on one salary/saving the other; or if you're single/or married but can't do the 1 salary thing -- make it a goal to save 25-50% of one salary at least.

And then what you save from living below your means -- invest it -- at least most of it.

Invest invest invest, even if it's $1000 here and $3000 there, it adds up. For example when I was at a job with a transit benefit, I kept track of how much I was saving by using company funded public transit vs. driving and parking each day -- subtracting out the days I drove anyway or took Uber. I kept track of the amount saved and every few months when that amount added up to $1500+, I threw it in the market. As I saw it, I'd be spending that amount anyway if the co. took away transit, so why not act like it's being "spent" now by throwing it in the market.[/quote]

+1. I’ve done all of the above and got myself to a 7 figure net worth with no parental help (in fact had loans to pay off too) in a decade of working.[/quote]
