What tips would you give a fresh grad?

I've just entered the adulting world and am realising that it's a whole different game. If you've been in my situation before, can you please share with me, and all of us fresh grads here:

What you wish someone told you early on
One important thing to know about life
What helped you in your hardest times
One piece of advice for managing money

Importance of financial literacy (e.g. personal financial management, emergency fund, insurance, budgeting, investing, tracking your net worth, retirement planning).
Health is wealth.
Surround yourself with the right people. We are the average of the five people we spend the most time with. It affects our way of thinking, self-esteem, and decisions.
Be frugal, understand assets and liabilities. A minimalist budget isn't about spending less money. It's about spending money on fewer things so you're only spending money on what you truly value.

What financial tips would you have given your "fresh grad" self? (assuming you have study debts and have to support the family). ?

I'm a fresh grad and I'm taking my finances more seriously now as I'm adulting. What are some money habits that you'd give to a fresh grad as something I should know as I enter the "real world"?

Hi, I'm a fresh grad and just started my traineeship. Am gonna give my parents some money at the end of the month. But uh… my pay is capped at $2.5k... How much do people usually give?

What would you advise a fresh graduate, not just in this particular cohort, but also in any normal year? Is it fair to criticize fresh grads as strawberry for not taking just any job that comes along?

Hi! I'm a fresh grad with $13,000 in savings in my POSB Savings. How much would you recommend me to transfer to CIMB, and what should I do with the rest?
