I think once I get myself more fully set up I would really like to help others who are in the situation I was is a few years ago. I was pregnant at 17. Its not hard, its just a few simple steps. My advice would be:
1. Budget Budget Budget, know what money you get down to the dollar and what your bills are...and pay them - don't get yourself bad credits it takes a long time to get out off.
2. Realise every choice has a consequence, accept responsibility for very decision you make and the consequence.
3. Have dream and goals, make the big, if you fall short your still going to land much higher than if you didn't dream big at all.
4. Get and education, experience or a skill. You don't have to be the smartest cookie in the jar. Find something that interests you and that you really like doing - work towards it.
5. Why you are working towards getting that education, skill or experience don't be too proud to do other work, money is money. I have done childcare and done general office work...even helped lay tiles in a community centre toilet renovation.
6. look at what you spend your money one, work our what is important to you and spend your money on that. Don't deny yourself things that are important when you work hard for them. That means incuding in your budget "spending money".
7. Don't let people stereotype you, know who you are, be proud for your accomplishments and be greatful for the good things in your life. Endeavour to prove every single person who ever doubted you or failed to support you wrong.
8. Realise that you deserve the best that you can have - this goes for friends and relationships - don't let toxic relationships and friendships drag you down. Don't let people who are jealous change your resolve, be committed to your goals.
9. Adopt these principles to all other parts of your life -eg. losing weight etc.
10. Most importantly make sure that you treat the people in your life as well as strangers with respect, help others when you can and in any way you can. Share the knowledge you have -it would be selfish to not share the good that it can bring
