Well, everything would become smooth and easy if they follow the below guidelines.

Financial success for young

Remember how you achieved the academic success? I am sure it’ was due to your intellectualism and hard work. Guess what? Financial success can be achieved by exactly those two qualities you possess. Having success is a mind game, a game you play against yourself.

Things your school never taught you about money but probably should have

“Saving to Build Wealth”, as the saying goes. But when we are young and single temptation to waste the money prevails over saving them. Schools teach us to be wiser, intelligent and good human beings. I am not sure if anywhere in this world the school system teaches how to be wiser with money. I was never taught how to best manage my finances responsibly.

Glad to present you another article on basic of financial management. Long time back I wrote about managing your money like a shepherd, which gave me immense pleasure. They I did a series of posts to state the importance of teaching monetary skills to your children. It is so much important these days when we have decreasing savings rate and growing instability in the financial market.

Financial Planning When You are 20 Something

This is first post in the Financial Planning series, over the weeks we will help plan for finances across different age groups. I am starting with an age which sees maximum changes in your life. From college to job, from being single to be in a relationship, from dorm to your first home, and, from student loan to mortgage.

Young Adults

This is also the most challenging time for your finances. First getting a job for living. Then, you start paying off student loans, while using your credit cards and probably also looking for a new home. This is most challenging more so because you are almost inexperienced at managing your finances. Since personal finances are not taught at schools, most in their 20s simply don’t have a financial plan.

Importance of Personal Finance Lessons for Teenagers

October 17, 2014 2 Comments

Earlier this year, I came across an article from the Los Angeles Times. It’s about how millennials won’t be able to get mortgages on their own and will rely on their parents to co-sign on loans and mortgages in the future. More recently, I came across this article on CNN Money – it’s also about how student loan debt is making home ownership out of reach for millennials.

While home ownership is not a goal for everyone, I strongly believe that financial independence should be a goal for everyone. Unfortunately, millennials are not there yet for several reasons, including no financial literacy skills, dangerous amounts of student loan debt, and not establishing credit early enough. I think starting the conversation about financial literacy early is the best way to prepare young people for financial freedom, just as educating teenage girls about the importance of personal finance.

Talking About Finance to Your Teenage Girl

September 25, 2014 20 Comments

I received very early lessons on managing finances and investment from my father. Read more on my about page. I feel teaching your children about money is an essential part of their education. Unfortunately it’s not taught in schools, so it’s your job as a parent to make them financially aware which should help them become a better at managing their finances. I had written about early financial lessons to your children and financial advice for young adults. This is a guest post from Patrick he runs the blog Daytodayfinance. Enjoy the post!

Are you parent of a teenage girl? If yes then you already know that your little girl is all set to take her own decisions and plan her future. All she needs is your guidance and advice. If you think that she is too young to manage finance then you are wrong. Teenage is the perfect time to explore all the fields of life and learn financial lessons.

Secure Financial Future After Graduation

August 12, 2014 16 Comments

Welcome to the world of young adult finances, readers! After yesterday’s post on the need of retirement planning in early 20’s , this is an excellent followup post. Here I’ll do less talking and let the infographic speak about what I wanted to say.

Early 20’s or late 20’s whenever you join in to work force is the best time to start financial planning. The other day I was talking to an intern in our office. He’s just out of college. To him the life’s all about spending money, partying, seeing places. I tried convincing him and he seemed interested to know more. I didn’t tell him about my blog but we planed to meet again for next round of talk.

Perhaps I got my first mentee whom I can teach about best practices of personal finance. He’s one of the typical generation X population. Years ahead of them before retirement, they don’t care. perhaps we were like the same when we were in our 20’s.

How Young Adults Can Start Planning for Retirement

August 10, 2014 6 Comments

When I started saving for retirement, I was not exactly young adult. I was about to enter into my 30’s. Partly because I immigrated to this country late and initially thought of returning back home. Things didn’t turn as per that plan. Now I am resident and will stay here for a long long time. I am now playing a catch-up game, a catch up to have my retirement saving on track and overcome the late start. In this post, I’ll give one of the most important financial advice for young adults, about planning for retirement.

Especially if you’re in your early to mid 20’s this post is really for you to help get your retirement saving started and get going. You’d like to retire rich, right? Of course you would, and while retirement seems like a long way off for those of you in your twenties, if you haven’t given it at least a little thought you could be missing out on a massive wealth creation opportunity.

Are you a recent college graduate? Do you already have a job? Well congratulations! There aren’t too many people that can answer yes to both of those questions these days. By earning your degree and finding a job after college, you are already one step ahead of most of the field (that is, unless your job is at the burger joint that you worked at in high school).

Let’s talk about something important for your future life, investment, for your retirement. If you are not a recent college graduate, that is OK, you must be knowing someone who just joined the work force after graduating. Pass on this information please.
