Saving in your twenties can be challenging. It’s hard to envision the future and when you may need funds for an emergency or if you cannot find the perfect job. Additionally, it can be difficult to save money when you are starting your career or if you have student loans. No matter what stage of life you’re in though, creating savings is important. This is a time when you probably finish your formal education and begin your career. At this time, you develop sound financial habits for a lifetime.
YOUR TWENTIES| How much should you save?
The amount of money you should save is unique to your lifestyle. Ultimately, it will depend on how much you make, where you live, and what your expenses are like. You can reach savings goals by creating specific target amounts and dates.
Finding extra money can be possible. Start by looking at your weekly or monthly spending. You might find areas you can cut down on expenses to free up cash for saving. Even if it’s just a dollar a week, that is something. Finding extra money can be possible. Start by looking at your weekly or monthly spending.
