What advice would you give to a girl turning 14 in 3 months? Basically things you wish you knew while you were 14.

Edit: I'm going into 11th or 12th grade by September. Due to my Country's education system. Any advice for that would be appreciated too. Thanks

Thank you all for the advice 😊

Not a glamourous one but at 14 my dad said to me « open a 401k » (or equivalent in your country). I laugh at him thinking I was better. Now I’m old and poundering why I didn’t listen to him.

Don’t put all your saving in it maybe a couple of buck a little bit at a time but when you’ll be my age you’ll have a tidy some hopefully to reduce some financial stress

Have fun too, don’t forget that one
