Five-Word Financial Advice for New Graduates

Posted by

Morgan Housel did a thing where he asked a bunch of us for simple advice, in a five-word sentence, for the new graduating class of 2016 – about 3 million Americans.

I actually found the assignment to be pretty easy, my five-word advice popped into my head immediately. And it’s something I wish was explained to me when I was 18.

Click over to Morgan’s article for my advice, plus some words of wisdom from Eddy Elfenbein, Cullen Roche, Ben Carlson, Sam Ro and others:
