I’m 20M, currently having $8,000 total savings, I know it’s nothing and that’s why I ask for suggestions. From a young age I’ve been interested in growing myself financially but doing it smart along the way and not doing reckless things, I was trying to figure out ways to earn side money along the years but it was never got to anything, but now that I’m 20 I realise I have to do something to start growing financially if I want to have some kind of financial freedom at 26-30 but I have no lead, can’t see myself growing anywhere continuing with 9-5 job, but I’m also aware of get rich quick schemes so I know there is no shortcuts. What is a reasonable path then if my goal is to grow?
