We all know it’s a good idea to start saving money when we’re young, but in what other ways should we be making the most of our youth? Robert Farrington answers this question as he explores this concept of ‘front loading’ our lives and encourages young people to capitalize on the energy, capacity, and ability to risk-take when we’re younger in order to experience greater financial freedoms and benefits later in life.
