Girls, I'm 32.

Nobody sat me down and told me this. So I’m telling you. 1️⃣ Pay yourself first, not with what is left over. Save 20% of every paycheck before you touch the rest. 2️⃣ You do not need to explain yourself to everyone, especially those who never earned access to your reasoning or those whose opinion changes nothing about your decisions. 3️⃣ Get a full body checkup once a year. Blood work, dentist, gynecologist. Be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to your health. 4️⃣ Learn to say "let me think about it" instead of saying yes prematurely. It takes away pressure and gives you more control. 5️⃣ Keep a record of every win, result, and positive piece of feedback you receive at work. You will need it for your next negotiation and your memory will fail you. 6️⃣ Stop dating for potential. The person in front of you is exactly who you will get and not who you hope he will become. 7️⃣ Prioritize sleep in your 20s. The energy you have right now will not last. 8️⃣ If you have been in the same role for two years with no raise and no clear path forward, that conversation with your manager is already overdue. 9️⃣ Invest in your face and body now with sunscreen, strength training, and good posture. Maintenance is cheaper than repair. 🔟 Learn how your company makes decisions about promotions before you assume hard work alone will get you there. Every company has an unwritten rule.
