5 Ways to Ensure Financial Security When You Are Under 30

Set multiple short-term goals

Setting long-term goals can be more daunting and less exciting, compared to short-term goals. So, set a series of short-term goals that are both precise and easily measurable.

For example, contributing to your company’s 401(k) or paying off your debt within a few months with a set contribution each month.

As you keep achieving your short-term goal, keep setting new ones until you reach your longer-term goals. This constant setting and achieving of goals will also help you become more confident in your ability to attaining financial independence.
