As a young man in his twenties, there are MANY things I do not know yet. If life is a video game, then I'm still on the loading screen.

There are also a lot of things that I do know, but somehow I ALWAYS mess them up.

I find that a lot of people my age deal with a lot of the same struggles, so I hope that you can empathize with one of the issues that are on this list.

Life Insurance

Ahh, life insurance. How does it work? Do I need it? Will I EVER get that money back?Lucky for me, I was raised by a Father who has worked in the Insurance Industry for my entire life so I may be more aware of the necessity of life insurance than other millennials.

Paying Bills

I have been paying bills for a while now, but I will still find a way to screw it up every now and then. One time, I accidentally paid off my ENTIRE furniture bill on the first month's payment all because I clicked the wrong button.
