Notes
Aim for the best opportunity, not the best salary. The right job at the right company in the right field is your goal early on. Follow your passion. There will be plenty of time to make money down the line.
Work hard; make yourself indispensable. When others are dependent on you, you have the power.
Your job is to make your boss look good. Period. And remember that your coworkers will be aware of who is doing the heavy lifting.
Buy a car you can afford, not a status symbol that puts you in the poorhouse. Remember, cars are the worst investment you will ever make.
Keep the car for as long as possible. When you own it free and clear, you will have more cash handy for better investments, such as saving for your retirement or paying down your credit card balances.
A solid relationship requires financial intimacy. That means no secrets, and merging your money as well as your lives.
You want to merge but not completely lose your personal financial identity. Always keep a checking account and at least one credit card in your name only. It is a healthy amount of independence and it will also protect you if your relationship ends.
