Where I am at 22.
Thought I’d show something pretty cool more for people around my age, I think this group can be very intimidating, if that’s the right word, sometimes seeing hundreds of thousands saved by late 20s etc.
This is my net worth at 22. I started working at 17 as an engineer and got my pension going at 18. I save a couple hundred a month and contribute 7% into pension with employer doing another 3%.
I have lots of hobbies including mountaineering which isn’t cheap. So still have a life!
I think I am doing pretty well, imo.
I am posting this now as I’ve been around 30k salary until recently where I’ve been put to around 40k so feel I will slip into a less realistic savings rate for most 22 year olds.
But just showing this to say it doesn’t take a lot, just doing something is better than nothing.
EDIT: It’s worth noting, I do live at home but I am charged £700 a month for my room and that does come with some food. I appreciate not everyone gets to live at home.
