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.
