20 Things That All 20-Something Gentlemen Need To Know
Words: Holly
You’ve left university, moved out of home, have a job and are hopefully self supporting – if you can truthfully agree with any or all of these then well done you, take a moment to pat yourself on the back. Whether you’re in a relationship or not, enjoy said job, or remember to do your laundry and take out the rubbish is beside the point. What we can assume though is that there are shared thoughts and struggles that all 20-somethings have throughout these years, so here is our advice to you….
1. It’s never too early to start saving
2. Invest in quality pieces, that never go out of style.
3. Your credit score will come in handy some day. Don’t be careless with it.
4. Pick a job because of the people, not because of the perks.
5. Read more books and fewer tweets/Facebook updates.
6. Everything in moderation.
7. Don’t be afraid to let go of people who bring you down in any way.
8. Watch more live music/theatre/ballet and less YouTube.
9. Spend 25% less than you make.
10. Be selfish – you are only young once.
