This is independence. It's a great feeling! A world of opportunities lies before you. Of course, independence isn't just about freedom. It also involves responsibility, and until you choose to share your life with another, your primary responsibility is to yourself.
One of the greatest advantages this Life Stage offers is the opportunity to put your personal economy in order. You can, for instance, get an enormous head start on your retirement simply by establishing a regular savings regime. It might be as little as $20 a week - whatever you can afford. With time (and compound interest) on your side, there's a lot you can accomplish.
Life is full of choices. Choices about career. Choices about debt. Choices about security. Luckily, you don't have to make them all at once. But it's a good idea to educate yourself on what your options are - the earlier, the better. Check out our on-line Financial Planning Guides for some helpful insights.
