Budgeting and Financial Literacy as a Young Pro

Discipline 8: Career & Professionalism — Lesson 8 of 12
Lecturer: Rachel Osborn

Habits set in the first year tend to stick for a career. This session covers building a simple budget the moment real pay lands, getting independent advice before big purchases, and separating what you spend from what others expect.

The three rules

1. Build a budget from the first paycheck.
2. Get independent advice before big purchases.
3. Separate spending from expectation.

*The full breakdown — citations, the lecturer's own story, and the discipline's quiz bank — is part of the Spy Academy programme.*
