start budgeting early

Many people think they don’t have to worry about their finances, plainly for the reason that they don’t make enough money. Because their monthly income is low, they start believing that they are exempted from creating a plan. If you’re one of them, don’t fall into this trap.

Planning is crucial to achieving financial freedom. And the sooner you start, the better. If you cultivate the habit of budgeting early on in your life, you’ll equip yourself to save more, spend less, and invest better as your income grows. The goal is to have a plan always in place, no matter what you’re earning every month.

These days, there are many resources available to help you with this. I strongly recommend following Dave Ramsey’s 7 Baby Steps and getting the EveryDollar app. They have been game-changers in my personal financial journey and I’m sure they’ll help you elevate your financial game as well.
