18 year old apprentice
Hey guys, currently sat in my Tafe class bored out of my mind thinking about what my future is gonna look like and how i can best use my money to help me in the future. like i said im 18, 1st year apprentice at a large electrical distributor in sydney. Based on what i’ve been told once im fully qualified (I’ll be 22) that i can make a decent amount of coin around 120-150K+ very dependent on night work and overtime. but anyway i currently have managed to save about 35K through working throughout high school and am making about 800-1000 a week as of current which includes working also part time at a bowling ally on weekends. I’ve got an older mazda which will probably last me another 2 years tops. Just very curious as to what i should do with my money, is buying a house early the go? should i build more in savings before taking on a mortgage? should i start investing in stuff? any advice at all i would really appreciate as to be honest i dont know much about finance but i’ve just been told by my parents to save as much as i can. Thanks in advance for anyone who can help!
