1. Don't spend all your money on avocado toast. It's not a food group, folks.
2. Use an app to track your expenses. We're not made of money, but we do love our screens.
3. Save 52 weeks' worth of expenses in an empty jar. It's like a savings jar, but with less jam!
Because adulting is like trying to fold a fitted sheet. It's just a lot of wringing and tugging, but you'll probably end up with a bunch of wrinkles.

Take heart, young adult. You're in good company. We're all winging it over here.
5. Check your credit score. It's like a report card for adults, but with less report cards and more interest rates.
