Don’t be a Job-Hopper
If you’re a fresh grad, your parents must’ve told you to stick to one job as long as you can – even if you’re downright miserable.
Sure, you’ve seen your parents and grandparents hold onto their jobs for years (decades even) but that was the norm and culture back then.
Lay-offs weren’t common and job-hoppers were considered to raise red flags. However, things today are different.
‘Loyalty’ is no longer the main criteria but skills and talent are what’s really attractive to an employer. In fact, contract jobs are an upcoming especially since the pandemic. And if you agree that getting the right fit is key, check out Happyer to discover your next career!
Buy the Best Car and House
For older generations, buying the best car and house might be the mark of success. Our parents have lived with this deeply-ingrained concept, and are now selling this idea to us. They emphasise on buying bigger homes and cars for your future family.
However, don’t make these huge purchase mistakes. Buy a house or car that you can afford. You might not need as much space as you think you do. Buying the priciest house or car can doom you financially.
Measuring material wealth is a thing of the past and can be heavy on your shoulders. For instance, living paycheque to paycheque will leave you short on cash, hurt your retirement plans, and is definitely not worth the stress for the average common man.
