Back Bay on Marlborough St. $2250 for a 600 sq ft 1bed / 1bath. All utilities included; insanely good location. Live with my wife so it’s not a bad deal per person. As a disclaimer, I think my landlord charges below rates as a lot of studios in Back Bay are being rented out for more than we pay rn so 🤷‍♂️

Everett, new building, great amenities, 2BR plus den and patio for $3650

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.
