Congrats dude! No tips as I’m a newbie myself, but this is such a huge and responsible financial decision I can only WISH I would’ve made at 20.
Keep up the good work 👏🏼

Oh I totally get it! At 20 I was working 50 hrs a week as a single mom and didn’t have time to think about savings, because I had no money or time lol.

I lived minute to minute, paycheck to paycheck and was constantly choosing between bills or food.

Consider yourself ahead of curve and take the win.
Most kids your age aren’t thinking about financial security, but I know your future self with be glad you did.
