Hey all,
So I landed a job for what I went to college for (just finished today) and I start next week making much more than I ever expected to fresh out of school.
Im ecstatic to be making $52k a year on salary but I have no clue how to begin saving and investing.
I've been dirt poor all throughout college (as many are) and have had to max out my credit card ($1k, very managable) along the way and have wracked up about $17k in student loans.
Because of this my saving habits are pretty shit as all the money I've ever saved has gone to bills, rent, or food throughout the month.
I do thankfully have a car but it is pretty damn old so I'm also looking to be saving up for something newer with less KMs on it in the next few months as well.
I've had someone who owns a business estimate how much I'll actually be taking home every payday by calculating taxes and estimates of how much my benefits are.
That total is about $1600 every two weeks (it's salary so this should never change unless I get a raise).
Is there any advice anyone can give me about working to pay off my debts, buying a new car, and saving / investing for the future?
Thanks all :)
