I just turned 25 and I got my my first salary at 22.

The most important decision I took was reading about personal finances in the gap of 2 months I had between finishing university and starting at Amazon.

I still don't have kids and a family. But thanks to starting early with the right system, I know that money won't be an obstacle to make such life decisions.

Probably this article is the most important thing any engineer can learn. Great one, Nicola!

interesting topic, how's the emergency fund organized?

(considering the life insurance + other benefits)

I've an instant credit covering 1 year expenses, so not lose against inflation.

I have it in a high-yield bank account and I can withdraw it freely 🙂

nice. That's a good approach - probably a little less riskier than instant credit.

You don't have to pay interest in an emergency - luckily, I never had to use it.
