Life after uni- those three words hold so much significance to the fresh college graduate. Prepare for the road ahead as you decide which direction you are heading. Fret not; here is LifeAfterCollege.org offering you a few guidelines on what your priorities should be.

First things first! Ensure you have a place to live; the rent should ideally be at or below 25% of your monthly income. If you’ve got this covered, the next big no-no you should look out for is debt! A swipe here and there seems harmless, but studies show that nearly 30% of people aged 18-24 spend 30% of their monthly income just on debt repayment.
