7 Financial Goals to Set in Your 20s

The 20s are a hugely consequential phase of your life – you’ll finish studying, start working and lay the foundations of a long career. Try to use this time to build good financial habits and give yourself a head-start in life. It might seem hard at first, but these habits will help you make better financial decisions to get ahead of your peers, and set you up for financial security early in life.

Become financially aware

Understanding how finance works can help you make better choices with your money. Thanks to the internet and new education platforms, learning has never been easier. You can choose from a variety of media, including podcasts, blogs, videos and articles to keep yourself informed.

Plan your budget

It's essential to know where your money goes every month. Creating a budget helps you track and control your day-to-day expenses. It also helps you keep track of your savings and investments, so you can see how financially healthy your everyday choices are.

Save for emergencies

Save up for short- and long-term goals

Setting short- and long-term financial goals can boost your financial productivity. From building an emergency fund to saving up for your child’s education, these goals dictate important milestones in your life – so smart planning is essential.

Settle high-interest debts
