Michelle says...

1. Learn more about your superannuation.

"The great thing you will always get additional funds in your super as long as you have a job."

2. Buy now, pay later.

"It's a good way to manage your cash flow as long as you pay on time."

3. Look after yourself.

"Whatever your plans are regarding yourself, your family and/or career, always look for ways to improve."

Examples of ways to improve are studying again and having a side hustle.

Jerry says...

1. Build a system.

"We often start the year with self-reflection, that's why many come up with New Year's resolutions; but usually, people are only consistent with their resolutions for the first few months."

Start small and build systems you can integrate into your life such as well-researched investments and designated bank accounts for savings.
