What would you do differently if you could go back to your 20s?

ActionItems · 2018-08-13T19:07:11+00:00

I'm 26 right now and I think I'm doing the right thing. Working, building wealth, and living a modest life with minimal expenses. Right now I have a $147k net worth. No plans to marry or have kids.

T-I-N-M-A-N · 2018-08-13T18:34:40+00:00

Buy Apple stock

2018-08-13T18:30:37+00:00

Invest in a trust.

omg_ppl_are_stupid · 2018-08-13T19:32:29+00:00

Live minimally... not party, increase my knowledge, never get married, master my body.

utubeDJUtjMX37PU · 2018-08-13T18:45:17+00:00

pump, dump, and not believe for a second that I was in love with any of those stunned cunts

I would have lived with my dad. this would have saved him from living in a van for 15 years. I believed my grandmother that he wasn't good while she molested my brothers. They're dead now. So is she. And so is my mother who kept her mouth shut but allowed it all to go down while my perfectly good father lived like a bum, alone, and died all by himself.

save and invest. I’d be pretty comfortably off right now

deadBeefCafe2014 · 2018-08-14T01:30:55+00:00

Would have gone all in on scripting and network automation. Trying to learn that now with kids, long commute, etc is a far longer process than I had anticipated.

Would have kept the ex wife out of my life and avoided the whole shitshow. (I’d miss my kids, though.)

Would have stayed home with my folks and paid much cheaper rent. Roommates sucked.

Would have built up a fitness habit earlier. Currently sidelined for another couple weeks on an injury and have pretty much lost my running season.

Would have started a DRIP earlier and kept at it. Also would have maxed out my 401k on day one.

DangZagnut · 2018-08-13T18:35:35+00:00

Pretty much the same stuff I did, maybe a few tweaks here and there.

aBlindGeminiWhisper · 2018-08-13T19:52:03+00:00

It's just a year ago but i'll definetly tell myself to stock dollars(Turkish economic crisis is going $1 equals ₺ 7(TRY))

It($1) was ₺ 3,5 back in 2017, August :D

That means if i could have 1 that means 2 right now, 50 percent of gain mate!

-Numbers- · 2018-08-13T21:03:26+00:00

More hookers, less relationshits.

irresponsible_tech · 2018-08-13T22:29:10+00:00

I would have told my ex to pound sand. I wouldn't even fuck her first; just ignore her the moment we meet then cherish my virginity and become a wizard.

Hymandestruction · 2018-08-14T01:21:42+00:00

I wouldn’t waste that decade on my ex wife

2018-08-13T18:48:55+00:00

One year ago..hmm I would have found MGTOW, Red Pill and Sigmund Fraud FASTER! but...life and frame.

ThatOneTy · 2018-08-13T19:10:58+00:00

22 atm, but I wish I knew things that I know now at age 12.

mcros85 · 2018-08-13T19:51:07+00:00

Not go into the technology field and go into sports science field as my body would have thanked me for that.

Older_Miggy · 2018-08-13T22:25:59+00:00

Moved to Texas in the 80's instead of 2012.

Work my ass off, keep my money for myself, bought property in the sticks and travelled more.

scroogemcduck666 · 2018-08-13T22:51:28+00:00

Cut out grains/dairy/sugar/processed foods, stop using drugs, stop having orgasms. That's enough to totally transform your life if you can muster up the discipline to make it happen.

Blissbynature · 2018-08-13T23:21:43+00:00

Maybe several days before big, nasty events were about to occur. Things like 9/11, big terror attacks, mass shootings, etc., I would get on the internet and reveal information about what is about to happen and who is behind it and why.

I might not live all that long but it would be fun.

owninfools007 · 2018-08-14T02:09:10+00:00

If I could go back to 18 (26) I would save up money and buy everything cash, except a house.

squidracer · 2018-08-14T04:25:04+00:00

Put way more back into investments and spend less on cars

marcopoloman · 2018-08-14T04:34:44+00:00

After graduating I would have moved to China. Instead of doing it at 42
