🖐🏻 very basic but powerful habits that I want to share with my dear juniors, interns, UGs
(Financial + non financial)
#medtwitter 1. As soon as you start getting your first pay.
Start SIPs in index funds.
Be it 500/1000₹, keep increasing it every time your salary/ stipend increases.

This will be a good habit to have right from beginning.
You pay urself first and then it will pay back while you are young
