Post some good financial advice to live by. The younger you are when you start following these, the better.
I got most of these from listening to Dave Ramsey.
Never buy a brand new car, unless your net worth is over 1 million US.
I think the rule of thumb is buy a 5 year old vehicle, not a truck. Buy a Toyota Corolla over a Camry. Never buy a GM or European car.
Never buy a brand new phone. Buy a phone that's 2 years old.
Put 15% of your income into a matching 401k provided by your workplace if they provide it.
Never buy/rent a home/apartment that costs more than 1/4 if your gross monthly income.
Avoid eating out. Buying ingredients and cooking at home will save you a lot of money.
Have a 3 month emergency fund.
What else are good financial habits?
