12 Things To Do Today That Your Future Will Thank You

5. Travel to new places and take on new adventures

Most of our daily experience is confined to a finite, predictable pattern of places, people, and things. Pushing beyond our norm reveals the world is far more wonderful and unexpected than we realise. Life begins at the edge of your comfort zone. You will meet new people, explore new places and experience new wonders. You will make new memories which will surely bring a smile on your face in the years to come. Most importantly, you will have stories of your own to tell.

6. Start saving money

Saving for a rainy day can be as vital as saving for a certain goal. Calling your own shots, financially speaking, means having the freedom to make choices in your life separate from earning a pay cheque and that is only possible if you have your savings to go to. This may mean being able to take a vacation whenever you want to, leaving work and going for higher education or switching careers, starting your own business or investing in someone else’s start-up, helping family members, taking on a lesser paying job that is more personally satisfying than financially beneficial, or a big one these days – retiring when you want to rather than working because you have to.
