Congratulations on taking the first step towards achieving financial freedom and adulting like a boss! We know that the thought of managing your finances can seem daunting, but don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with some tips and tricks to help you along the way.
As you start taking on more responsibilities and managing your finances like a pro, don’t forget to have fun and enjoy the journey. Remember, being an adult doesn’t mean you have to stop having fun! Make time for hobbies, spend time with friends and family, and don’t be afraid to try new things. And always remember, no matter how challenging adulting may seem, you’re not alone! As a Christian, you have a loving God who is with you every step of the way.
Remember, with a little bit of guidance, a lot of hard work, and a healthy dose of humor, you can adult like a champ!
Here are some tips to get you started:
- Set financial goals: Start by setting clear financial goals. Whether it’s paying off student loan debt, saving for a down payment on a home, or building an emergency fund, having clear goals will help you stay motivated and on track.
- Create a budget: A budget is essential for managing your finances and achieving financial freedom. Create a budget that includes all of your income and expenses, and stick to it as much as possible. AGCU has handy budget tools to help track and manage your finances.

- Minimize debt: High levels of debt can be a major obstacle to achieving financial freedom. Focus on paying off high-interest debt first, and consider strategies like debt consolidation or refinancing to make your debt more manageable.
- Live below your means: Living below your means is key to achieving financial freedom. Look for ways to cut back on expenses, such as eating out less or finding cheaper housing options.
- Increase your income: Consider ways to increase your income, such as taking on a side hustle or seeking out promotions or new job opportunities. Increasing your income can help you pay off debt faster and save more money.
- Invest in your future: Investing in your future is an important step toward achieving financial freedom. Consider investing in a retirement account or a diversified investment portfolio.
- It’s worth noting that many young adults still rely on financial support from their parents. According to a recent survey, about 50% of adults aged 18-34 receive financial support from their parents, with the average amount being around $3,000 per year. While receiving financial support from parents can be helpful, it’s important to work toward financial independence and not rely on this support long-term.
Achieving financial freedom as a young adult requires discipline, goal-setting, and a willingness to make sacrifices. By creating a budget, minimizing debt, living below your means, increasing your income, and investing in your future, you can take steps toward achieving financial freedom and securing your financial future.
