Don't Make My Mistake

🇳🇱 Netherlands · 💰 Money · 40-49

I waited until 35 to start saving anything

What happened

I earned well from 24 but spent all of it. I told myself I would start saving when I earned more. I always earned more, and I always spent it all.

What I learned

Saving is a habit, not an income level. A small automatic transfer at 24 would have been worth more than a large one at 40.
