5 savings funds to start in your 20s

After getting hit with $500 of out-of-pocket expenses for dental work and thinking about buying a house in the next couple of years, I’m realizing how much further along I could have been if I had started these savings goals in my early 20s and not my early 30s. Even if the contributions are small, a high yield savings can go so far when you let the interest compound over the years. Seriously regretting not having multiple savings buckets growing!! Even if my goals changed in the future, I would have had funds saved to allocate to different things.#savinghabits #financejourney #savingtips #budgeting
