Budgeting (with YNAB 4).

Getting my spending and saving planned made money a lot more useful. It might seem paradoxical, but having a system of limits ultimately gave me more financial freedom.

Also, changing jobs. Don't be afraid to jump if you've got marketable skills.

I don't think I could pick just one thing as success is usually a combination of things (including dumb luck).

However, if I had to, I would pick staying positive and never giving up on success.

People always say, "The best financial moves are actually the thoughts we had along the way..."

Investing at 21 my entire college fund. I wasn't going to use it anyway.

I guess buying my apartment at the time I bought it. Got great mortgage rate and a good price. Fast forward 2 years, the rates are 6 times higher and prices are least 50% up. Turns out I hit a historic low.
