And I think you could add another point. You WILL make mistakes, and it is not the end of the world. Being young and stupid is natural. Just because you wasted all your money on trivia doesn’t mean you can’t recover and have a good money life later on. Being young is about enjoying life and having fun, it can’t all be about money.

In my experience, the more aware I have became with my incoming, the more I became persistent in reaching my goals!

It’s often hard for people to control their urge to show off or spend rashly. The problem is usually more than just a matter of self-discipline or self-awareness. In the case of teenagers, it’s often their insecurities pushing them.

First of all great post, I can really relate to every thing you wrote about. I’ve made all those same mistakes, and many more. I am glad that I did, even though I learned some hard lessons.

Hi Glen,

Sometimes we have seen people complaining about their lack of money every now and then but they do not take any action to solve their problem. All they do is to keep doing the same thing and keep getting the same result!

A great tip is to keep a budget for the month and keep your spending within it, once that is in place, the 2nd step would be to find ways to expand your income and this 2 steps will ensure you that you can achieve financial freedom in the years to come.
