From Troy Hunt's "Personal Finance Lessons for Technology Professionals":
- Money buys choices
- Money you earn young = most valuable money you'll ever earn
- Invest in financial literacy
- Learn the tax system
- Know good debt from bad debt
- Diversify earning potential and risk
- Prepare for luck

Keeping these in mind as I figure my shit out.
"If you're working in tech, you're working in one of the most well-paid industries with the greatest growth potential and career prospects out there. Your financial potential almost certainly exceeds that of almost everyone else around you.
