No, at 20 you're not mature enough for that. You're still like a child who wants everything and doesn't think about the consequences. When I was that young, I thought very differently than I do today. Back then, when my mother told me to put some money aside, I just didn't want to listen. The adrenaline rush in the arcade was better than anything else back then. That's why it's so difficult today to get the younger generation interested in saving and making private pension provision. And by the time they reach a certain age, it's almost too late, because the money has to be deposited in such funds over several decades to ensure that it generates positive dividends and doesn't become a negative investment.

Of course, the first ones have to start saving at 16-17 so that they can get their driver's license. Most of them are also doing an apprenticeship, so they know how much they are currently earning and how much they can spend. The problem is that people take advantage of this financial freedom and then easily lose control. It's not just 20 year olds, but also people aged 23-25. The problem is that it's too easy to buy in installments. If there were a hurdle (perhaps a maximum of one month's salary), then nobody would accumulate several thousand euros in installments. But nothing is being done about this and I think it's a good thing. Imagine you want to buy a 3000€ TV in installments, but you only earn 1500€. You wouldn't be able to because the state wants to protect you from getting into debt. It's similar to gambling and the €1000 limit

Installment payments and small loans can quickly lead to major over-indebtedness, so protection against this is not a bad idea. I once watched an interesting documentary about this, but unfortunately I can't find it anymore.
