Someone on quora asked:

Being a minor, what can I learn to help me become economically independent?

It’s hard to answer unless you have specific goals, but here are some tips:

  1. Learn to save. Some say 10 or maybe 20% of your income, but I’d say “as much as you can”

  2. Understand how credit card debt works and how to avoid it

  3. Get a job, if you are legally allowed to. Even part-time is fine. Online freelancing could be great too

  4. Learn to control impulse purchases. Take some time before buying something big.
