Fresh out of college, with no money experience. How to split the money into investments(safe and risky), utilities and other expenses. What percentage savings is good enough. How much of it can I really spend without feeling guilty and what quality of life can I afford with this salary?
Draw up a budget based on your first 6 months of spend.
Mandatory fixed a. Rent b. Utilities c. House help
Mandatory variable a. Commute Costs
Discretionary Fixed a. Investments
Discretionary Variable a. Entertainment b. Shopping c. Travel
This'll tell you where your money is going and you'll be able to figure out how to optimise each bucket.
If its your first job, don't skimp on having fun with your money. Don't get too cowed down with "investments". Go out, buy stuff, travel, do the things you've always wanted to with your money. Just don't build up a mountain of debt in doing it - enjoy within your means.
Good luck!
Wow, that's a high effort answer Nice person
First learn to spend.
By the end of the 6th month you should be broke.
After that you will learn how to manage by yourself automatically.
(Never lend 1k,5k,10k to people)
Why not lend?
Because it's not lending it's charity cause you never gonna get it back
