Learning to manage money is one of the best decisions you can make. Every choice you make today shapes your tomorrow. Each decision you make adds up to long-term success.

A) I'm 37. If you're in your 20s to 40s, I can't stress these money tips enough:

1. Negotiate Everything

Don't settle for less. Whether it's your salary, rent, or bills, always try to get a better deal. A short chat can save you thousands. Employers and service providers expect you to negotiate, so don't be shy.

Tip: Before any big decision, jot down what you want. Ask smart questions and be calm and clear. Remember, a good negotiation is a win-win.

2. Your First Job Isn’t Your Forever Job

Don’t lock yourself in. Your first job is a stepping stone. It helps you learn skills, but it won’t be the end of your journey. Look for roles where you can grow. If something feels off or doesn’t pay well, consider moving on.

Tip: Keep an open mind. Look for work that makes you happy and pays well. Update your resume often. Your career is a journey—make each step count.

3. Protect Your Credit Score at All Costs

Your credit score matters a lot. It affects your ability to get loans, rent a home, or even land a job. Pay your bills on time and keep your balances low. Check your credit reports regularly for mistakes. A good credit score opens doors to better rates on mortgages, car loans, and other financing.

Tip: Set up reminders to pay bills. Use credit cards wisely. Dispute any errors on your credit report. Simple habits can keep your score high.
