avoiding failure is to avoid progress

-Unknown

   As a 32 years old who have made a lot of mistakes on the journey of adulting, I decided to share some lessons I've learned thus far and tips. Hopefully, whoever reads this makes better decisions than me.

Tips:

• have a savings account. Add money to this account monthly. If you can weekly.
• don't take money out of your Savings no matter what!!!
• start an Emergency fund. Start adding to this fund monthly. The purpose of this fund is to help you in case of an emergency.
• Live beneath your means. Just because you are making money now does not mean you have to spend it all.
• Give back either the things you don't need anymore or your time
• Pay your bills on time. 
• Budget.
• Work. Every job is honorable unless it's violated someone else dignity.

Lessons:

• Don't compare yourself to others, especially where you are in life vs other people life
• Relationships are finite. Not all relationships are meant to last a lifetime. 
• Know yourself and love yourself. At times, you will be your only supporter.
• Be grateful for all life's blessings and opportunities.
• You owe no one an explanation on how you live your life.
• Walk away from anything that disrupt your peace.

Adulting is a constant learning process and there's still a lot to learn.
