to the financial term. After all, before this, they need to ask for money
from others but now they can spend on their own for which they introduce a new
term credit card as they are a salaried person so they get a credit card but
they do not know how to use the credit card when they use credit
card accordingly they build good or bad credit score so if they know how to
build a good credit score they could use it
for there advantage so they must know how to build a good credit score. On the
other side of the coin, it can also create a bad credit score if a mistake happens.

Any 20s person should not take a credit card if they have no control over their spending but you know what is your budget and if they can control their spending. Then only you take it because it has both good and bad sides it, so be cautious about it or it is good
not to take a credit card.
3. PAY OFF DEBTS
In the 20s you should always avoid loans or debt but all people are not lucky they have their own problems with taking loans. Some would have taken loans for education which is ok but try not to take a loan at this age because this age is your productive age which constructs your future. When you do not have any loan work will be easier. In case you have taken a loan for any reason then try to pay it as soon as possible.
paying a loan will be beneficial for your investment journey because when you start saving early and constantly it gives you the compound effect which is the seventh wonder of the world and makes you richer day by day.
If you don't listen to it and spend money with a loan money compound will be against you which for you became poor day by day so always remember not to take a loan for expenses and do not buy anything on EMI if you do so pay your debt as fast as possible and start investing as quick as possible with Systematic investment plan for compound effect. so do not take a loan and if you have a loan then pay it quickly.
Make the compound your friend.
4. SET UP AN EMERGENCY FUND
When you want to be passionate about passive income or you want to be financially free set up an emergency fund is the first set towards it.
It is a fund for a bad day for any reason if you lost a job or you became
ill to do the job that fund can be spent on it, for which you do not have to worry
so you should set up an emergency fund. You do your business or job try to set up it
first.
5. PLAN FOR BIG SPENDING AND LIMIT THE NUMBER OF SIMULTANEOUS EMI
At this age, people do not have very much experience with money. They thought what I required If I have money or I have a stream of income then I can get it because I have money. They even do not listen to their parent's advice they thought power is in their hands. So they can do whatever they want to do but the reality is when you jump high you must have to come down due to the nature of gravity, every day is not a good day you also may have a bad day you should also think about the bad days in your good days. I am here not to stop you to buy things I am to stop you to plan and then buying your desired things. If you plan and then buy then it also makes a good habit of planning which also stops you from unnecessary spending money, there is a rule of thumb about spending. which is
"if you need something
then stop for seven days for that if that is really required after the seventh day
then without thinking buy it other wish you will automatically forget about
that product."
Any big thing you want to buy make some plan and look how much time you
can achieve it comfortably.
Some people will think that ok we are getting the thing on EMI and our
money flow is also good so why to pay now instead of that let's do it in EMI, EMI
is a trap to spend more. If you follow the above 7-day rule then you could not be
in the trap of EMI. At this age, we should not buy any product on EMI or loan. If you
think EMI is not a big amount then just remember small EMI could make you in
trouble if its number increases, you cannot realize that how that small amount
became a burden to you .so do not take any loan or EMI at 20s.insted of that do SIP and achieve your goal.
