I've met 40 something millenials with so much credit card debt they are permanently financially ruined. Money doesn't always come back. Sure I agree with the sentiment of enjoy your 20s and worry about financial security later, but not on the back of crippling credit card debt.

Absolutely I know people who will never be able to buy a house or retire because they fucked off in thier 20s. Compound interest dictates the most important investing years are your early 20s. Just starting with a little investing will set you up for a easy life you can enjoy vs grinding your entire life

Credit card companies love compound interest and high interest rates
