If you could go back and tell your 18 year old self anything, what would it be?
What would you tell yourself?
- Thread starter Mafesto
- Start date
Set up an IRA and fund it every month.
Go west.
Marry the RIGHT person!! Splitting things up 50/50 (yeah right) is the quickest way to send your retirement plans into a downward spiral, and recovery takes a LONG time!! But it does happen 
I don't think much at all besides going all in on my business after the depression of 09. I have been blessed
College is a waste of money. There's a couple companies that are going to be starting up shortly you should invest in instead. GOOGLE and AMAZON.

To buy LOTS of registered machine guns :face-icon-small-hap
Keep working a trade instead of college. I'm an engineer now, but could be making similar money if I stuck to what I was doing before without the student loans. If you want to start your own business take a few business classes. Just be vigilant enough to have your own savings/investment plan. Sitting behind a desk is a slow, painful death.

be excellent at whatever you do....i did go to college, it opened doors that otherwise would have been unavailable....and, i got to fly fighter jets all over the world, got to see and do things that very few others get to...had more adrenalin pumps than a thousand 100' cornice drops, pulling g's so hard your eyeballs are ready to burst trying to stay ahead of the tracers trying to whack my a$$, going high enough to see the curvature of the earth, staring into the black edge of space at a thousand constellations....dropping into the volcanoes of the Hawaiian Islands, flying by the huge ice blocks on the Aleutian chain, barely hanging on before dropping into the Bering Sea....seeing the huge grizzlies on the Alaska Range....ripping the snow covered tundra at over the speed of sound and watching the huge rainbows formed in the ice dust of my jet blast.....buzzing the Russian warships at over 1000 mph barely off to their side and watching sailors scrambling to their stations as their guns try to track me....playing fighter games with migs.....flying by the huge yachts of the ultra wealthy in the Mediterranean Sea where not all were wearing their swim suits on the sun decks....mock fights with the Israelis and many other nations....the Sahara, the Atlantic, the Pacific, North Sea, Baltic, Bering, and a thousand places in between...was my education worth it....oh yeah, a thousand times over....:face-icon-small-hap
The earth is flat, dood. Duh.
Pull out early! :face-icon-small-win
Don't smoke crack
Buy all the cheap ground you can in Teton Valley, ID and then sell it about ‘08 or so. Also invest in Google and Amazon. And exercise more,eat less.
That’s beyond awesome! Great post Sly.
Sell it all late 07 - early 08 and buy it back for pennies on the dollar in 2010.
Be more respectful to women, spend more time with your grandparents and spend a lot more time with your brother:face-icon-small-sad
