Jennifer Garcia, senior private wealth financial advisor:
Pay yourself first.
Now that you’re in the workforce, there are a lot of things you’re going to want to buy and new expenses that you have. But get in the habit of paying yourself first every month.
John Marshall, senior financial advisor:
Definitely stay in touch with your close friends. We get caught up in life and work and tend to let those great relationships slip by over the years. Tomorrow isn’t promised, so make sure you’re taking advantage of today.
Sarah Schweppe, senior financial advisor:
Some advice I would give my younger self is to build a strong network. Having a good network of friends, colleagues and former classmates who can motivate you, challenge you, and inspire you to improve will really take you far in your career.
Garcia:
Oh, and one more thing. Try to find a mentor at work, somebody either in your role or a role that you aspire to be. Interview them. Ask questions. Be curious.
