The first thing I would do is become financially literate. This means reading books, listen to podcasts, listen to audiobooks. I would highly recommend becoming educated in finances. There are so many good books. If you want some book recommendations, definitely comment below. There are also a lot of really good podcasts, so I would focus on becoming financially educated. Learn about finances, learn about how to manage your money, how to increase your income. This is really going to put you ahead if you're financially educated and you know about finances. The second thing I'll focus on is paying myself first. This is a non-negotiable for me. Any income I get, whether it's from a paycheck or a job or a side hustle, I always make sure that I pay myself first. I automatically set a certain amount to go into my high yield savings account because paying yourself first is how you're gonna build your income and how you're gonna build your wealth. So always pay yourself first, then pay your bills, and then pay the things that you have to pay. This is a non-negotiable. The third thing I would focus on is budgeting. As you get older, you'll realize that budgeting is very important. I make sure I go through my expenses and I make sure that I budget my money. Every single week, I take a pen and paper or use the app Monarch, which is one of my favorite money apps. And I budget through my money. I like to make sure that I'm managing my money correctly. So me personally, again, I use pen and paper, but I also use the app Monarch. This is one of my favorite budgeting apps. It tracks your expenses and it also tracks your savings goals, so I really like this app. Another thing I would focus on is diversifying your income. Having multiple streams of income is really important if you are someone that's trying to grow your income and build your wealth. Having multiple streams of income is very important. Having a skill, a side hustle, a side business is very important if you are someone that wants to grow their income and wants to grow their money. So I would definitely recommend you have a side hustle and have multiple streams of income. So these are some things that I would focus on if I was someone that want to grow their income, grow my wealth, and overall just really get better with money.
