20’s – Best time to make money !

You are in your 20’s … Sweet old twenties. You are thinking about next road trip, making big in this world, and so much more. Life is fast paced and thrilling. But you also have that uncertainty. I know -I had when i was once in my twenties. I wish I knew more at that time, or my parents would have told me these much about making and saving money. But fear not, if you are in this age group, count yourself lucky and me jealous. Never the less, couple of days back one of my colleague met me over dinner and was expressing his anxiety over huge college debt that his son has incurred. Even after countless blogs on how you should avoid making mistakes in 20’s etc, I thought it would be a great knowledge sharing to all my friends and their kids if I just write some simple steps for people in their twenties. In FAQ style .

I used to be a software engineer, banker, senior manager, avid programmer etc. Now I am just a person who is a blog junkie !! I like to read , write and spread the knowledge on what I know. I try to go after what I doubt, and in this process enjoy the life as it is.
