I’d say healthcare and experiences with family/friends.
I used to think certain things could always be planned “later” in my early 20s, but after starting work and growing older, I slowly realised how fast time actually passes.

Also made me appreciate spending money more meaningfully sometimes especially on family, friends and creating memories together instead of always just delaying everything for “someday”.

I just started my first job and I've set aside $500 a month to invest after deducting expenses and savings allocation. Where should I put my money? Looking for long-term investments in the stock market?
