I’ve got a few tips that worked out for me. 

1. Start saving now; future you will be incredibly grateful.
2. Don’t charge your credit card for something you can’t buy with cash. 
3. If you have questions, ask them. Acknowledging what you don’t know is just as important as proving what you do know. 
4. Sometimes it takes time. Don’t give up because you will get there.
