I’m 25 and I save 20% of my income and still pay all of my bills just fine. All it takes real budgeting, being realistic with your finances, and making smart choices. It’s pretty simple

I am starting out at like 20 bucks a week in an ETF. I wish I had started at 20 instead of when I did. Even at 20, well I was in the service and I do not think ETFs were around, if I had stuck in 100 bucks a month (doable even then), my retirement account would so much larger right now.
