Well, alteast its no debt down the track! Just dont make my mistake in previous years and fritter it away i went from a Traineeship...17K a year to a Car sales job (Salary+Comm), 50K a year and got 3/4 of the way through the year and didnt even realise where it went...you may not have much now but its worth making a budget still to make the most of what you have That way when your making more, you are in a good rythm already! Living by myself on the otherside of this country is what it took for me to get into line...if you dont budget, you starve.
