Surely you have already thought that there is nothing better than being 20 years old! Zero worries in life, all the energy in the world, the desire to know and learn all the things that exist, start earning your own money.

What else do I know? you may ask, life doesn’t?

And yes you are right, it is a very good phase of life, but today that I am in my 20s I guarantee that if I had learned many things about finance before I was 20 I would have saved myself a lot of trouble, so today I will share with you some financial advice that I learned too late.

1 — Get As Many Experiences As You Can

Starting to be an adult is not easy, but you have an advantage; you don’t have the same financial responsibility as an older person, so you can try all the jobs you want, trial and error, you have the advantage of many. We don’t have your time and energy anymore, so taking bigger risks than others is something you should take advantage of.

2 — Avoid Dependence on Others

Normally, you depend on your parents at this time, but it is now that you should start generating everything you need so that when the time comes, you can live on your own and get that independence we all are looking for. In this way, you will achieve what sometimes seems impossible, to live on your own and be responsible for yourself.
