5 money habits every young person should start today

1. Pay yourself first. Before you spend a kobo, move a fixed percentage of every income into savings — even 10% builds momentum.

2. Track every naira for 30 days. You cannot fix what you cannot see. Write it down or use a simple app.

3. Separate wants from needs. Delay non-essential purchases by 72 hours; most impulses fade.

4. Build an emergency buffer. Aim for three months of basic expenses so a surprise doesn't become a crisis.

5. Invest in yourself and in assets. Skills raise your income; assets make your money work while you sleep.
