There are a number of mistakes Kenyans make when they land their first jobs.
These mistakes haunt some of them to their graves. It is advisable to tread cautiously when you get employed.
Here five mistakes to avoid when you get your first job
1) Moving into an expensive house
It is good to live within your means. Do not be quick to move into an expensive house before you save enough money.
2) Spending all your disposable income
Despite the hard time you have gone through before landing a job, never spend all your income. Many people are employed today and fired after a few weeks. Sparing part of your income will do you well when disaster strikes.
3) Focusing on dead stock
Dead stock in this case refers to items that do not generate income such as expensive phones, watches, radios and television. Instead you should invest in live stock.
4) Ignoring your college debt
The Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) will come haunting you when you will be seeking another job elsewhere. It is wise to settle the debt before thinking about anything else you can do with your money.
5) Not investing in your health
Health is wealth. Ensure that you invest in your health once you land a job.
