Starting your first job is an exhilarating step into adulthood, complete with new responsibilities and financial freedoms. However, with great power (read: paycheck) comes great responsibility. 
Here are six crucial money management tips I wish someone had whispered in my ear as I signed my first employment contract. 
Budgeting Isn&#8217;t Just a Buzzword
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020912/image-175-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305779" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020912/image-175-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020912/image-175-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020912/image-175-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020912/image-175-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020912/image-175.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Tracking every penny with a budget is important. Image Generated Via Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
It sounded so tedious at first—tracking every penny? Really? But creating a budget was a game changer. It helped me understand where my money was going and highlighted areas where I could cut back without feeling strapped. Plus, seeing a plan on paper (or an app) made my financial goals much more attainable.
Emergency Funds: Your Financial Safety Net
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020926/image-176-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305780" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020926/image-176-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020926/image-176-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020926/image-176-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020926/image-176-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24020926/image-176.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Emergency funds act as a safety net and a lifesaver, Image Generated Via Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
One word: Lifesaver. I never anticipated the random expenses that could pop up—like a broken-down car or a sudden job loss. Building an emergency fund isn't the most thrilling part of getting a paycheck, but it's definitely one of the smartest. It's all about peace of mind.
Understand Your Taxes
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035935/image-182-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305934" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035935/image-182-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035935/image-182-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035935/image-182-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035935/image-182-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035935/image-182.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Taxes come as a shock if you are not prepared for them, Image Generated Via Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
The first time I saw my paycheck, I was baffled by how much less I was taking home than I expected. Understanding how taxes work, what tax bracket you're in, and potential deductions can really help maximize your earnings and prevent those nasty surprises come tax season.
Retirement Plans Are Not Just for the Old
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035503/image-181-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305930" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035503/image-181-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035503/image-181-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035503/image-181-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035503/image-181-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24035503/image-181.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Retirement is closer than you think, start preparing early. Image Generated Via Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
The word &#8216;retirement&#8217; seemed so far off it was practically in another galaxy. But starting to save early takes advantage of compound interest and can significantly impact your financial security in the future. Enrolling in a 401(k) and getting that employer match is like getting free money.
Credit Cards: Handle With Care
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021012/image-179-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305783" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021012/image-179-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021012/image-179-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021012/image-179-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021012/image-179-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021012/image-179.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Credit Cards are not free money and should be used with caution, Image Generated Via Dall-E</figcaption></figure>
They're not free money—something I learned the hard way. Using a credit card responsibly can help build your credit score, which is crucial for future loans for big purchases like a home. But it&#8217;s easy to fall into the debt trap if you're not careful.
Financial Education is Continuous
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="585" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021015/image-180-1024x585.png" alt="" class="wp-image-305784" srcset="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021015/image-180-1024x585.png 1024w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021015/image-180-300x171.png 300w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021015/image-180-768x439.png 768w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021015/image-180-1536x878.png 1536w,https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/24021015/image-180.png 1792w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
Every stage of life brings new financial challenges and opportunities. Continuously educating yourself about personal finance—from reading articles to using financial tools—can empower you to make informed decisions and stay ahead of the game.

In the latest development, Boeing Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>) has reportedly projected a slower increase in the production and delivery of its 787 widebody jets. This is primarily due to supplier shortages,
What Happened: Scott Stocker, the 787 vice president and general manager, disclosed the situation to employees at the South Carolina facility via a memo on Monday, Reuters reported. Despite the hurdles, Boeing is determined to incrementally increase its rate to cater to the &#8220;strong demand&#8221;.
The memo highlighted, &#8220;We continue to manage through supplier shortages on a few key parts.&#8221; 
It also mentioned that customers have been notified about the anticipated slower increase in production and deliveries.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is keeping a close watch on Boeing&#8217;s challenges in procuring certain parts and is in constant communication with the company. The agency&#8217;s primary concern is to ensure that only safe and compliant airplanes are dispatched from the factory.

Boeing, scheduled to announce earnings on Wednesday, is facing scrutiny over the manufacturing of its 777 and 787 widebody jets. This comes in the wake of allegations by company engineer Sam Salehpour at a U.S. Senate hearing last week, who pointed out inadequate shimming in some areas of the 787 Dreamliner.
Furthermore, the company&#8217;s separate production of its 737 MAX single-aisle jet in Washington state has experienced a significant decline, as U.S. regulators tighten factory inspections and workers slow down the assembly line to complete outstanding work.
A Boeing spokesperson confirmed to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga</a> about the memo but refrained from divulging further details.
Why It Matters: The latest development comes on the heels of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/04/38330613/boeing-grapples-with-32-whistleblower-complaints-in-3-years-amid-mounting-safety-concerns-report">32 whistleblower complaints</a> against Boeing over the past three years, with allegations of employer retaliation being investigated by the U.S. workplace safety regulator. This has raised significant safety concerns for the company.
Moreover, as Boeing<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38365885/boeing-will-deliver-q1-earnings-while-at-center-of-air-safety-scandal-everybody-wan"> prepares to release its Q1 earnings</a>, investors are keen to see if the company&#8217;s performance can offset the recent scandals that have tarnished its public image.
Price Action: On Monday, the stock closed at 170.48, with a slight increase of 0.22% from the previous close.

Boeing Foresees Slower 787 Production Ramp-Up Due To Supplier Shortages: Report (UPDATED)

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), has expressed his dissatisfaction with the term GPU while announcing that the company&#8217;s core AI infrastructure is no <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/08/34128510/elon-musk-affirms-training-compute-will-not-be-a-constraint-for-teslas-full-self-driving-improvement">longer training-constrained</a>.

He stated, &#8220;We are, at this point, no longer training-constrained, and so we&#8217;re making rapid progress.&#8221;
The tech billionaire also disclosed that Tesla has installed and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38111017/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-disagrees-with-nvidias-jensen-huang-that-anyone-can-make-their-own-neural-networ">commissioned 35,000 H100</a> computers or GPUs and Tesla anticipates this number to potentially reach around 85,000 by the end of the year, primarily <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/01/36707594/not-clear-quips-elon-musk-as-tesla-enthusiast-questions-metas-plan-to-buy-nvidias-ai-chips-equiv">for training purposes</a>.

&#8220;We are making sure that we&#8217;re being as efficient as possible in our training,&#8221; Musk said, adding that it is not just about the number of H100s but &#8220;how efficiently they&#8217;re used.&#8221; 
During the conversation, Musk also expressed his discomfort with the term GPU. &#8220;I always feel like a wince when I say GPU because it&#8217;s not. GPU stand — G stands for graphics, and it doesn&#8217;t do graphics,&#8221; the tech mogul stated. 
&#8220;GPU is [the] wrong word,&#8221; he said, adding, &#8220;They need a new word.&#8221;
Subscribe to the <a href="https://bztechtrends.beehiiv.com/subscribe">Benzinga Tech Trends newsletter</a> to get all the latest tech developments delivered to your inbox.
Why It Matters: Musk&#8217;s statement came after Tesla reported its first-quarter financial revenue of $21.0 billion, which showed a 9% year-over-year decrease, missing the Street consensus estimate of $22.15 billion. The company stated that its revenue was affected by reduced average selling prices and decreased vehicle deliveries during the quarter.
On the other hand, Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) last year made a significant impact on the AI and computing sectors by introducing its H100 data center chip, which added more than $1 trillion to the company&#8217;s overall value. 
In February, earlier this year, it was reported that the demand for the H100 chip, which is four times faster than its predecessor, the A100, in training large language models or LLMs and 30 times faster in responding to user prompts, has been so substantial that customers are <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/02/37283133/nvidias-h100-chip-sparks-ai-revolution-boosting-value-by-1t-as-it-unveils-new-chips-for-china">encountering wait times of up to six months</a>.
Meanwhile, earlier this month, Piper Sandler&nbsp;analyst <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38257652/nvidias-hopper-demand-and-blackwell-launch-position-makes-it-a-top-large-cap-pick-analysts">Harsh V. Kumar</a> engaged directly with Nvidia's management team and reported that despite Nvidia&#8217;s Hopper GPU being on the market for almost two years, demand remains strong, outstripping supply. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38257652/nvidias-hopper-demand-and-blackwell-launch-position-makes-it-a-top-large-cap-pick-analysts">Customers are hesitant to shift their orders</a> from the Hopper to the Blackwell, fearing extended wait times due to anticipated supply limitations.

Suzano Ventures, the corporate venture capital arm of Suzano, the world&#39;s largest market pulp producer, has made a strategic investment into the Canadian materials science startup, Bioform Technologies. The investment provides up to US$5 million towards the company&#39;s seed round, enabling it to accelerate the development of its novel bio-based plastic alternatives. The products can be manufactured through modified industrial processes already used in the pulp and paper sector.
Bioform&#39;s proprietary technology rapidly produces wood pulp-reinforced hydrogels to create high-performance plastic alternatives, which can be made using Suzano&#39;s wood pulp fibre as a key input. Bioform&#39;s materials have the potential to be home compostable or recycled through existing paper recycling processes and do not require fossil-based inputs. The technology is highly versatile and has a number of applications where it could replace conventional single-use plastics, including paper recyclable thermoformable films for packaging applications and compostable heat-sealable films for pouches, agriculture, and garbage bags.
With the potential to offer an&nbsp;80 percent&nbsp;lower carbon footprint than conventional single-use plastics, Bioform&#39;s technology has similar or enhanced product performance to conventional plastics in areas such as tensile strength and permeability for oxygen or water vapor.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) senior executive Lars Moravy on Tuesday clarified that the company is not inhibited by 4680 cell production to ramp Cybertrucks. 
What Happened: As compared to the previous quarter, 4680 cell production in the first quarter rose by about 18% to 20%, Moravy said during Tesla&#8217;s first-quarter earnings call. In March, the company produced enough cells <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37863738/tesla-smashes-doubts-about-4680-cell-production-says-its-made-enough-batteries-for-1-000-cybertrucks">for over 1000 Cybertrucks</a> at Giga Texas in a week. 
&#8220;We expect to stay ahead of the Cybertruck ramp with the cell production throughout Q2,&#8221; Moravy said while adding that the company is looking to maintain multiple weeks of cell inventory to make sure it&#8217;s ahead of Cybertruck&#8217;s production ramp. However, the cell production will be in tandem with Cybertruck production, he noted
&#8220;We&#8217;re not going to just randomly build 4680s unless we have a place to put them and so we&#8217;re going to make sure we&#8217;re prudent about that,&#8221; he added. Moravy is Vice President of Vehicle Engineering at Tesla. 
Just a couple of weeks ago, the company made 1000 Cybertrucks in a week, Moravy said. While the company is looking to achieve volume production to bring down costs, it still faces challenges with the many new technologies and supplier limitations, he added. 
Why It Matters: In December,&nbsp;Reuters&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/23/12/36341487/teslas-cybertruck-reportedly-struggles-with-its-pioneering-4680-battery-is-250-000-production-go" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">reported</a>&nbsp;that the EV giant is struggling to make 4680 cells fast enough to meet its targeted annual delivery rate of a quarter million Cybertrucks. Tesla&#8217;s gigafactory in Texas is making only enough cells for about 24,000 Cybertrucks a year, the report said.
The annual delivery target of 250,000 Cybertrucks, company CEO Elon Musk has previously said, would not be reached this year but only<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/23/10/35322048/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-details-enormous-challenges-in-reaching-volume-production-for-cybertruck-we-dug" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> in 2025.</a>
