When asked what he'd do with $5,000 in savings at age 25, former Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein didn't say invest in crypto or max out your Roth — he said buy life insurance first.

His reasoning: if you have a family, you owe it to them to protect against worst-case scenarios before you think about growing wealth, and a whole life policy builds cash value you can access later.

After that he'd buy a used car for practicality and some fun, then put the rest in low-cost stock funds to maximize long-term growth.

The man who steered Goldman through the 2008 financial crisis still keeps money in a high-yield savings account and trades stocks regularly — and says when he dies, they'd better bury him with a market screen and extra batteries.

What's the one piece of financial advice you wish someone had given you earlier in your career?
