My brother is 4 years removed from college and just told me these things. since I graduate In May. Thought it applied

He works for Boeing and does well

- don't buy a car
-if you buy a car buy a used one with low maintenance. A new expensive car is a used car tomorrow
- you can always move into a nicer apartment when you make more money later
- Pregame anytime you go out and don't waste money on bar drinks
-Buy all household stuff on slickdeals or bensbargains at a discount and don't be afraid
-Find cool free entertainment. Big cities always have things going on cheap
-find a roommate
-save before you have the opportunity to spend
-go on cheap dates

Winner winner, chicken dinner.

Lots of new grads think they have to go out and splurge on a new vehicle as a 'reward'.

Wait a couple of years, you don't want to be 'car poor'.

BTW, start your retirement savings ASAP. Time goes by sooooo quickly.

BTW congrats and good luck,
