This is a great article. When I first graduated (and still) I was amazed by expenses I didn’t foresee. One thing I love are the daily coupons and deals that more companies are offering. There’s one that I’ve tried that goes straight to your phone – no printing necessary! It’s called Qponomics and it’ll locate the partners with deals around you and you’ll get the coupons directly to your phone.
Hopefully this can help!

Basically a lot of this comes down to simply living within your means and not racking up a crazy amount of debt. I knew so many college graduates who felt like they needed to “reward” themselves for their hard work in school. So the bought new cars. Whole new wardrobes. Really expensive apartments. After a few years of doing these things, nearly 90% told me they wished they had just lived cheap and stock-piled some money.

I like tip #2, find affordable housing. 30% is a great percentage as a guideline, and finding to live within those parameters is vital.
