There comes a point in nearly everyone's life when they begin to wonder if they should continue to rent or make the step of purchasing a home - but through a global pandemic, low mortgage rates, and a crazy housing market into the mix, and it makes the choice a whole lot more complicated.
Young adults, or HENRY's, don’t typically think about life insurance. After all, in your 20s and 30s, you probably feel like your entire life is endlessly stretched out ahead of you, and even more during this hard time.
Financial procrastination is when you have financial obligations and moves to make, but you put those decisions aside on a continuous basis. For instance – you know you need to balance your checkbook, but you continue waiting until things are going wrong. Or, you may have student loans and need to apply for a deferment but you let the time-lapse and end up in the credit bureau.

If you're making $75k-$80k you probably have to have a pretty good handle on how much you're spending, how much you're saving and what is left over each month because you have to. There's not so much "extra" and so it requires you to be extra diligent about how you are spending your money (even more so if you're committed to a savings goal).
