Don't pay interest for anything just save up

Never get a credit card

It depends if you are single or married.

If you are single, most married arguments revolve around money issues. One person might be a spender and the other one a saver. The woman might regard her money as her own and not be willing to put it into the common pot.

If you are married and have joint accounts the other person can loot the bank prior to getting a divorce and leave the spouse without any money.

But if you want to manage your money wisely, set aside a pot for emergencies before anything else. A year's net income would be a good start. Don't spend any of that for ordinary expenses. You could put it in a bank's safety deposit box in cash.

Then you can start your regular savings program by putting away 20% of you net income each pay period. You can use that for regular expenses outside of your budget. And have a set budget that shows forecasts for such things as quarterly or semi-annual insurance payments and property taxes.

Have one credit card with the highest credit limit possible and another one for routine expenses that you can pay off in full each month.

And, if you are single, be sure to discuss in detail with your future spouse how you will manage your joint income and who will write the checks from your joint checking account and watch the budget.

Work hard and save a little every time you get paid.
Patience will pay off in the long run. Live within your means.
@Mktonght I think we should live beneath our means so we can save for the future. But I get your point. It’s been said,

“Live like no one else today, and you’ll live like no one else tomorrow”.

Do you get what the quote is telling us? 🙂

Understand the time value of money, don't pay to use someone else's money unless absolutely necessary.
@bowman81 absolutely

Eat at home. Spend less and invest wisely.

You can flaunt off as much as you want with all the costly stuff people show off but it's not relevant. Instead. Save up. Be smart with money and the investments.

A sportscar will depreciate in time while a property will appreciate in time.

Budget for the bleakest scenario you can think of. If you can't instantly recover, or aren't on the path where that would be the case, from a house fire for example then you need to continue cutting expenses

@SW-User WHAT?! Since when?! I read this was a good cost-cutting technique in the FT!

@NoGamesTolerated don't spend beyond your means.

Seems obvious, I know, but a lot of people live beyond what they can afford.
@SW-User Most people live beyond their means. I’m not one of em! Very good advice!
