Hi everyone,
I have been working full time since I turned 16 and am now 26. In this time I have always had jobs paying between 40-60k AUD/annum. Due to this I’ve lived very spur of the moment, spent most my money travelling and partying and have not really accrued any savings. I am debt free apart from some small student loans but they are paid out of my pre tax income.
I applied for a job recently which pays 193k AUD/annum which I was really under qualified for but somehow fluked the interview and will be starting in about 4 weeks.
I have never imagined earning anywhere near this amount of money and as the job is only a 2 year contract I want to make the most of earning this much money. I know it’s probably as simple put X amount away and don’t spend but I’m wondering if there is any tips on investing, savings accounts to look in to, ways to treat myself without spending too much etc.
My main thing is I don’t want to take this opportunity for granted and make the most of these 2 years so if anyone has any tips or advice please let me know. I’d like to save for a house in the 500k AUD range in my area by the time I’m 30, so that’s really my only goal at this stage.
Thanks in advance!
