Had about $400 to my name when I graduated, put some gas in my car and then overdrafted the account signing my apartment lease like a mahfuggin beast 

 

Graduated 2021, am in an extremely lucky position.

Scholarships/parents paid for college (about 50/50), $75k from my business, $75k in equities from my parents.

Every Christmas they would gift me and my siblings money in our retirement account to teach us the value of saving early. I’m very grateful for it. I don’t really think of it as my money and have never touched it before.

Was expected to pay for everything else besides my education, hence why I saved so much/ran my own business. I think ironically this mindset is what drove me to banking - I feel like I need to make as much money as possible so that I can always have that safety net, even if I am miserable doing it.
