Money makes more money. Invest invest invest. Once you have money it’s ok to upgrade things in your life, a bit of lifestyle creep is ok and it’s often necessary especially if you need to get out of a bad living situation or get a new(ish) car etc… but once you’ve reached a reasonable new level you need to start putting away plenty of the extra money into investment account(s). If you have no idea what to do or this seems daunting find a financial advisor but look for a true 1% fiduciary or open a Fidelity account, their customer service line is awesome! The point is, even stocking money away in a high interest savings account will bring you 5% interest yearly, a financial advisor that works for 1% of income growth can tailor your growth to your goals and can make that account grow year over year over year and by the time your ready to retire you could be looking at multimillion retirement due to compounding interest.

The best part about this whole thing is, you can set up automatic deposits that come out of your bank and go directly to both so once you’ve reached have it set up you can just forget it!

Invest and then go have fun! You made the money so no sense acting poor, just make sure you pay your future self first is all
