What advice would you give to a fresh graduate?
Many of us here are working professionals. Some successful, some not as much as we aspired ourselves to be. But along the way, I'm sure we have all gained a little bit of wisdom here and there.
What advice would you wish you could give the fresh graduate version of yourself back then, in regards to financial planning in the objective of achieving a sizable amount of investments be it in shares/property/anything else many years later?

If I were your age again, I would accumulate all the working experience needed to run my own business early so that I won't get trapped in the MNC employment life till my 40s.

As my old man used to say : get as close as you can to the revenue. That holds true no matter what industry you are in. If possible - be the producer (of said money), if not make sure you get close to it!

Work harder than everyone else. And don't offend people at the workplace.

Don't chase pay.
Better to be worth more than they pay you then paid more than you are worth.
Focus on building up your value and the money will come eventually.

don't listen to such useless advice. picasso and mozart both died as paupers.
you need money to survive in this world. you need money first, before you can embark on the things you like to do. so the best is to strike a balance -- find something you almost enjoy doing but can pay you enough to lead a comfortable life, and then progress from there.
