What’s one thing you wish you had started doing with your first salary?

I recently started thinking about how easily your first few paychecks disappear when you’re finally earning your own money😭

I’m trying to be a little smarter about mine instead of just spending whatever is left at the end of the month.

For people who’ve been earning for a while:

What’s one thing you started doing early that you’re really glad you did?

Investing? Saving for something? Learning a skill? Spending on experiences?

And what’s one thing you wish you had done sooner?

I’m genuinely looking for ideas I can actually use!!!!
