"Being young is difficult and it's about trying to strike the right balance between enjoying your youth and starting to secure your financial future. If I look back on my own youth, I got that balance wrong. I wasted too much money when I was younger and that cost me further down the line when it came to buying my first home. So the 'opportunity cost' of that youthful excess was too much for me personally."
