What to do with money from first "real" job? - Hi all,
Situation:
* Graduating from uni at the end of this year, and have my first "real" job lined up for around $75,000 a year.
* I have around $15,000 savings and $20,000 assorted shares from my uni job.
* Living with parents - they're more than happy for me to stay. I initially thought I would stay with them for one more year (my first year working), but they reckon I should stay for two more and really save - not too stressed about deciding just yet.
* I pay no rent and my Dad in particular is keen on me not paying any. Next year I would want to pay some even just like $50-100 a week once I start work because I feel bad. Or even just shout us all a breakfast & takeaway meal instead.
I'm not gonna be super stingy or anything but I still would still like to build up my financial situation. What is best to do with money? Just in savings account? I'm not too savvy with shares or anything like that (my dad has done all my investing for me LOL).Ausfinance
