...And as I was thinking the other day, I haven't really "given anything back" so to speak to any of the younger dudes that are now where I was at long ago. So I have some random half-baked advice and thoughts to share.

  1. Money isn't and shouldn't be everything, but it's extremely important. Save your ass off especially if you aren't in school because even five years down the line it will pay off in massive, unforeseeable ways. Compound interest, wise/safer investments, and passive income are all the types of really cool things that every MGTOW should know about. Even if you can only save a few pennies and nickles here and there, get that fucking change jar full. The habits you build here will transfer to when you're making money and it'll be really easy while you watch others struggle and suffer.
  2. If you don't want kids and you know for sure that isn't gonna change (like me), just go get a vasectomy and talk about it with the urologist (like with any medical procedure, find a good doctor you trust with lots of experience, talk about risks, complications, process, cost, etc). Insurance often covers most or all of it, and if you don't have medical insurance, simply go get state insurance which they'll almost automatically give you if you're poor-ish. It's better to have that instead of nothing should something happen. I had to go to the emergency room (United States) at 22 and thank FUCK I had state insurance at the time because the debt would have been crazy. These things take a TON of unnecessary stress out of your life, and ultimate protection if you want to fuck around with women. Still watch for STD's, legal bullshit and all that...but you won't get baby-trapped. Win.
  3. Work out at least some, and try not to eat like total shit. It's cheaper when you're healthier, and you'll enjoy life a lot more. Don't have to be a bodybuilder, but a jog and some weights and a bit of swimming pays off in spades. Eat an apple every once in a while instead of getting Jack in the Box at 2am, ya know? You'll sleep better, your brain will function more efficiently, and you'll be able to survive better if society ever goes to shit.
  4. Always be accruing knowledge. From learning how to replace a light switch, to basic accounting, how to change the oil in that first car you just got, how to safely have a fire in the woods without burning down the forest, how to do anything really. I believe that positive momentum increases exponentially the more you know about everything from the little things to how the world works.
  5. Don't accept every single opportunity necessarily but consider them, and don't let pointless things hold you back. Maybe you have an opportunity to travel somewhere for a week for example, let's say the Bahamas. That may be a good fun thing to do and what if maybe you meet some really rich dude there who likes your company at the bar and offers you a very lucrative job in an industry you never saw yourself getting into? Happened to a buddy of mine. Now he lives in Miami Beach and drives a really nice car, I go to visit him at his oceanfront condo once a year or so and his life is fucking awesome. Would have never happened if he had a nagging girlfriend at home that wouldn't let him go and his story is a perfect example of the point I'm making, don't hold yourself back from opportunities because you never know what they'll lead to.
  6. Have a bit of fun, whatever that means for you. The world is nowhere near as crazy as the legacy news media makes it out to be, but it's always been a crazy place so don't lose sleep over it. If you do drugs, do them wisely. They're tools, not crutches. I smoke weed (legal state) and drink, every once in a blue moon if it lines up with my schedule and someone offers me good acid or mushrooms, I'm game to drop em. Just be relatively safe and mindful with what you're doing.
  7. Ironically, my last and most important, don't listen to bad advice. The overwhelming, vast majority of people are unhappy/miserable in their lives, make horrible decisions, are even somewhat self aware of that, and still choose to live in denial as well as not change anything. These people don't have the wisdom and introspective abilities to give others proper advice, which is why you should ignore it when given and not ask for it. That's the reality of people and society today as harsh as it is. Listen to the advice of people that are successful and happy, because you'll notice it's very different advice from the first type of people I've described here. That isn't a coincidence.

That seems about good for now. Far from everything of course, but a few general pointers I'd give to the younger MGTOW's here looking to build themselves an existence that's satisfying and ultimately enjoyable. I'm off to the brewery/pub, because I can and feel like it, and I want to try this new seasonal IPA that they've put out recently. Freedom is irreplaceable, enjoy your day and keep at it young gents.
