Save consistently.
Pay yourself first as soon as you start earning money by allocating a percentage of your pay to a suitable investment portfolio. Early in your career, establish an investing horizon to expose your capital to the power of compound interest for a longer length of time. Your future self will appreciate your early and continuous investments.

Set financial goals that support your way of life.
Create a financial strategy that will enable you to attain your life's goals after establishing a realistic set of objectives. Even though you may have a lot of thoughts and desires, writing down your objectives can be a very effective approach to commit to them and hold yourself responsible for their fulfillment.

Stay informed.
It makes sense for an investor to be current on financial concerns, regardless of whether they naturally appeal to or interest them. People frequently make bad financial decisions simply because they were unaware of what they didn't know.
 
Financial habits are essential to manage your money effectively. The first step is to create a budget. A budget can help you track your spending, savings and investments. It will also help you make decisions on how much to save for retirement, when to buy a house or car, and how much debt to take on.

You can also use a budget to make sure that you're not spending more than you have coming in each month. In order to make sure that your expenses fall within your income goals, you need to know what they are and stick with them.

A good way of keeping track of your spending is by using credit cards or debit cards that give discounts on purchases based on the amount of money saved up in the account each month. This way there's no question about whether or not you'll be able to cover the cost of that vacation after all.
 
Live within your means, don't be greedy. There are many people that spend more than they earn and this makes them fall into debt. Be contented with your life and don't do more than your capacity.
For every paycheck you get make sure you save first before your spend. And make it your aim to save over 30 percent of your income. Once you get started you will realize that it's actually easy. No one knows what tomorrow will bring, so you should save as much as possible. Don't buy what you don't need, get rid of vices that can drain you financially like alcohol, smoking, womanizing and so on. Take charge of your life, you are in control. Steer it on the right direction and live a purposeful life.
