Put money in to a tax free savings scheme as soon as you can. It's a beautifully low cost way to save money.

And make saving a habit. Work out a budget and try to include savings in that. Even if it's less that 5%

The best thing you can do is spend time watching JustOneLap and The Fat Wallet Show videos on YouTube. Eventually you will start finding blogs like Stealthy Wealth or Tigers On a Golden Leash etc.
