Ross School of Business, pursuing his BBA. Hailing from Manhattan Beach, CA, Davis faced a life-altering cancer diagnosis that tested his resilience and transformed his outlook on life and football.

In a world filled with tariffs, rising and falling stocks, and overall economic uncertainty, what's the best way to stay financially on track?

Some people quietly amass wealth while others with six-figure incomes struggle to stay afloat. The real difference lies in strategy, discipline, and execution.   In episode #116 of What Dewey Do?, we break down the habits, mindset, and financial strategies inspired by The Millionaire Next Door. We also explain how a simple $125 weekly investment can grow into over a million dollars without needing a six-figure salary.  Income alone won't make you rich—your financial behavior determines long-term success. Learn why smart budgeting, automating savings, and resisting lifestyle inflation are the real wealth-building tools.  Financial freedom starts with small, consistent choices. Tune in to this episode and take the first step toward a more secure future. Quotes: - Dewey Steffen: “Most people spend first and save what's left—if anything. Millionaires do the opposite. They save first, then spend.” - Dewey Steffen: “ Studies show that 80% of financial success is based on behavior, not income. Daily choices, spending habits, and financial discipline separate those who struggle from those who build wealth.”  - Dewey Steffen: “ Money is a tool, not a solution. Think about how many lottery winners and professional athletes go broke. It's not the money you make, but what you do with it once you have it.” _______________________   ➡️ WDD TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@whatdeweydopodcast   ➡️ WDD Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/whatdeweydopodcast   ➡️ WDD Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/whatdeweydo   ➡️ GLW YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GLWealth Thanks for watching!

It's important to make good financial decisions, especially as a young adult. If you set yourself up for success while you are younger, you'll thank yourself later in the future. If you're a young adult, here are some tips to get you started.  Links: Explore a variety of financial resources at mycreditunion.gov Learn more about Triangle's financial planning services Check out TCU University for financial education tips and resources!  Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!  Learn more about financial planning with Triangle's financial planning services  Transcript: Welcome to Money Tip Tuesday from the Making Money Personal podcast.    The first tip we have is to avoid debt as much as you can. This tip might seem obvious, but it is still important. When purchasing something, try to use only your debit card or cash. There are pros and cons to using your credit card. Using a credit card will help you build up credit and many cards offer rewards for using them. However, if you do use your credit card, make sure to pay it off when it's due. Otherwise, you could go deeper into debt, especially if your credit card has a high interest rate.     If you are in college, or thinking about going to college, you need to be strategic about how you pay for it. Scholarships are a great way to lessen the cost of a college education.  Countless organizations, corporations and other entities provide a variety of scholarship options that can be awarded based on merit, need-based, hobbies, religion, ethnicity, and more. To be awarded a scholarship, look online and start applying to ones that you might qualify for and are likely to win. Another way you can save money on college tuition is through work-study programs. This allows students to have a part-time job related to their field of study, with the money going to pay off their tuition.   To make sure you set yourself up for success, you should create a budget. Budgeting involves you looking at your income and deciding where you want your money to go. For example, you will allocate a certain amount to food, housing, debt, savings, entertainment, and whatever else you spend money on. It may seem daunting at first, but when you know the exact amount you have to spend on something, it will make your life a lot easier in the long run.  Similarly, you should consider creating an emergency fund. This fund is money that you set aside in case of an emergency, like the loss of employment, housing displacement, or medical issues. It is typically a good idea to put away enough money to live off of for 6 months.   As a young adult, you should start saving up for retirement now. Consider setting up a Roth 401(k) or a Roth IRA, which allows you to save for your retirement, with no tax on the growth*. You can also see if the company you work for offers any retirement plans. Some companies will match part of how much you put in, which is free money for you.   Investing harnesses the power of compound interest, so the earlier you start saving, the greater your wealth will be when you are ready to retire. Keep in mind that as the amount grows over time you might be tempted to use some of that money. However, it should be noted that there are penalties for early withdrawals so thoroughly research the rules and tax implications regarding the withdrawal of any investment account funds.   Another great way to make good financial decisions is to educate yourself. Read books, listen to podcasts, and watch videos on how to handle your money. Google some of the top-rated financial books for young adults and check out other resources like the articles and tools at mycreditunion.gov. You can also check out triangle's financial literacy content at triangleuniversity.org for webinars, videos and articles that cover a variety of topics. Being educated in finance is a good way to better understand your own personal finances. That way, you can make the best financial decisions for you.  Finally, consider getting a financial planner. Financial professionals can take a deep dive into your finances and using their knowledge can set you up with a plan. If you are looking for a financial planner, Triangle Credit Union has the resources to help you find one. Check out the financial planning page at trianglecu.org for more information.   If there are any other tips or topics you'd like us to cover, let us know at tcupodcast@trianglecu.org.
