Tariq K., advice from his mom

Reckless Spending

Materialism isn't everything, but as you start thinking towards the future (marriage, home buying, children, etc.), you don't want reckless spending during your teens and 20s to limit your vision for yourself. 

Money Management

Learn the importance of saving and good money management.  Your 20s will come and go quickly and without the right financial mindset, you will be looking back and wondering what you have to show for it.
