Partying less.


Partying smarter. Getting groups of friends to pregame together is as fun as being out up till 1130-12. If you bring a pocket flask with you and aren't an idiot, you wlil barely spend anything.



The one thing I noticed is huge when I took over my own finances is how much minor bargain awareness can save you. There is almost no reason to buy furniture, cars new. There is no reason to buy household wares, appliances, TVs, computers or even clothing at sticker price. Bargains come all the time and it is dumb not to hold out and come out on top.

I'd say this: work your arse off. You will be given opportunities if you ask for more work. That being said, don't be an idiot about it and work more than 12 hour days. Being young you're probably cheaper than the rest of the guys, and if you work hard you won't have to worry about layoffs.

I'll also say this. Make a budget and stick to it. Don't throw said budget out the window once you start dating attractive women. Don't try to teach them about a budget - they won't understand. Just stick to yours
