Your 20s are an important period in your life and this is a period where you start building the foundations for your future.
Most people see their 20s as a period where they should have lots of sex and party but this mentality won’t take you far in life.
If you want your 30s to be successful, you need to change how you do things in your 20s.
Below are 9 things you should seek to achieve in your 20s if you desire a better future
1. APPEARANCE
You should start taking how you look seriously at this stage of your life. The way you dress matters because people will judge you on how you look. Dressing appropriately for an occasion can open doors for you.
2. PAY MORE ATTENTION TO THE KIND OF FRIENDS YOU KEEP
This is the period in your life in which you should start building friendships that will last. When it comes to friends you keep, you should never forget that quality and not quantity matters.
3. HAVE CLEAR GOALS
If you don’t have clear goals in your 20s, I wonder when you intend to have them. Having clear goals gives your life a direction.
4. EARN AN INCOME
During your 20s, it’s expected you start earning your own money and stop depending on your parents. Write a good CV and get yourself a job. Sometimes you have to start with jobs you don’t like and get valuable experience. Don’t forget to learn a skill as it could be useful too.
5. STAY OUT OF DEBTS
Piling on debts won’t help you grow. Stay away from stupid loans and get yourself out of debt.
6. LEARN TO SAVE
You can’t achieve anything in life if you don’t know how to save. At this period of your life, you should build a savings culture. You need to have funds for emergency.
7. GET YOUR OWN PLACE
Living with your parents could be fun financially as you don’t get to pay rents but during your 20s, you should start seeking to get your own place and learn to survive on your own.
8. STOP SLEEPING AROUND
Imagine using this energy for something productive. Instead of sleeping around with different persons, I suggest you use that time and energy to do something productive.
9. LIVE A HEALTHY LIFE
Health is wealth so you should start taking your health seriously at this age. Eat well and exercise.
