You're not alone my friend. Saving is difficult. I'm trying to get better at it but there is something to be said about enjoying the money you're making too. We're not killing ourselves to just enjoy our time 20-30 years later.

This never ceases to amaze me: people in finance seem to be either really good or bad with their own money. Definitely a matter of habits rather than knowledge. Think about your priorities and develop the habits that allow you to be better with your money. This is a deliberate choice on your part.

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.

Hi everyone! I’m a young professional right out of college getting into investing and personal finance management. Trying to better understand and educate myself on personal finance and investment strategies. Can someone recommend some recourses (books, podcasts, experts to follow, etc.) where it’s clearly explained for beginners? Trying to make sense of 401Ks, Roth IRAs, emergency funds etc.
Like I’m looking for someone like Dave Ramsey but for investment and money management advice.
