Floss. Speaking from experience as I was very lazy about my oral hygiene when I was in my 20s and hardly ever flossed. You do not want to go through the extremely unpleasant and absurdly expensive shit that you’ll go through if you don’t floss.
This advice is for men never take no for an answer women like persistent men plus whenever they say no they really mean yes they’re just playing hard to get women like the thrill of the chase
Buy rural land or just get on it somehow. Go off grid. Grow vegetables. Live like our grandparents and great grandparents used to but with the added knowledge now available to all of us. Permaculture.
Find a way to put a little into your retirement savings every week. Even if it’s $5, do it, whatever you can. The earlier you start, the more compound interest you will have working for you.
Make it easy, on your phone. Everytime you have a chance to save, invest. Did you choose to get the $4 tea even though you want the $7 latte? Good for you! Immediately transfer those $3 into your retirement savings account and move on. You’d be shocked how quickly this adds up over just a couple years.
Put money in the stock market, ETFs or mutual funds, when market’s down and don’t sell, until you are older and begin transferring to bonds. Right now might be a good time to start……
Take care of your body now. By your 30’s you’ll start to slow down and by your 40’s you’ll be feeling the neglect you showed yourself in your 20’s, given you aren’t already
Learn to live off half of what you make. Invest the other half. After you turn 21 years fly by. Investing stocks and real estate. Be your own boss. Do a business everyone needs that is independent of the world chaos. Plumber, electrician, irrigation, cleaning, landscaper. I wholeheartedly regret not doing everything above and was too worried about partying and whatever I made I spent. Im stepping into end of life phase when my morbidity is in front of me every week as actors I grew up with, athletes, entertainers are all passing away. No idea how this time frame got here but it’s here. As Ferris said “life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in awhile you could miss it”
experience life before you have kids.. travel – even if its just the tip of the next state.. GOOOOO get out there. meet people.. do STUFF.. if its not fun MAKE IT FUN
An underrated component of success is inner healing (deliverance), and having a healthy thought life. So much of my anxiety and woes of my 20s was because I hadn’t realized how much of my life I was living through the pain of my past
If a woman doesn’t reciprocate feelings, don’t waste time crushing on her. Just move on. And work on yourself. You will eventually meet someone who will give you a chance
Work out everyday
Really pursue your passions and dreams and don’t waste time on low quality friendships (You’ll lose most of your friends by 30 either to the busyness of life or changing values, if the friendship isn’t healthy, don’t waste time in it)
I would have told myself to go to a good church, but I understand other people are not religious here
Don’t trust anyone who you can’t have an equal conversation with. If they are dominating the conversation. Are not open to your input or new ideas. Or if they ever betrayed someone they loved. Don’t do business with people like this. Learn how to detect narcissism and steer away from these people.
I’m 28, but please don’t party away your 20’s. It’s the time to really invest in yourself and take risks. I partied away only 2yrs of my 20’s and had to spend 2yrs making that up, thankfully it worked out. But don’t waste it, I’m only 28, but half my friends are getting married, buying homes and stuff, life really comes at you fast and you don’t wanna be the one lagging behind, it’s a shitty place to be
If something someone says or does can be interpreted positively or negatively towards you. You can just choose to believe it was positive. It takes practice but ultimately you’ll have a much happier life with false positives than with false negatives.
Now is the easiest time to get an education or try a new career. Don’t make these decisions to please others.
Start a diary. Even if you only write a small amount infrequently. Especially try to record when you have a great day. Life is in the details which sadly get forgotten.
You won’t regret being kind to people that didn’t deserve it but you will regret being unkind when you didn’t have to.
You never need a “good” reason to break up with someone. If you want to leave you can and probably should. Be kind about it but don’t feel obligated to stay, you aren’t doing anyone any favours.

Floss. Speaking from experience as I was very lazy about my oral hygiene when I was in my 20s and hardly ever flossed. You do not want to go through the extremely unpleasant and absurdly expensive shit that you’ll go through if you don’t floss.
It takes one minute. Please floss.
Go do some heroine, it feels great, you won’t get addicted /s
Enjoy yourself, you are not getting younger. Use sunscreen and take care of your spine (only 29 myself though). The age from 20-25 was really nice
Exercise regularly. You’ll be thankful in 15 years.

Nearly everyone has a disaster in their 20’s whether relationship, financial, etc.
It’s ok, you (generally) can and will recover. You have another 60ish years ahead of you!
Maintain selfcare habits
Shut your mouth and listen. You might learn something.
Wash your hands!
Do shit everyday. You either improve or regress everyday, so choose to improve. Life is a never ending list of shit to do, so do shit now.
Save for retirement. Compound interest is real

Invest $100/month or more and forget about it.
If you can, do 10% invested per month and forget about it.
Time power of money. You’ll be rich
The same advice I give someone in the teens, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s etc.: Don’t be a dick.
experience life before you have kids.. travel – even if its just the tip of the next state.. GOOOOO get out there. meet people.. do STUFF.. if its not fun MAKE IT FUN
Build a time machine, let the rest of us know so we all can say fuck this shit we’re going back to 1987 or 1993.
Don’t gain weight.
Save more than you spend.
Travel.

Never live with someone of the opposite sex
Mind your own business
Live your own life, drop any form of ego, and do what makes you happy or you’ll end up living someone else’s life
Have fun and enjoy life
Save money

save 10% of all you earn.
Start long term investing/saving. Even if it if 1% of your income.
Do you have a pattern that you do not like but consider more of a «bad habit» than a problem? It will be a problem. Address it now.
Don’t worry so much. Enjoy yourself
Start a retirement fund right now
Invest in yourself early by learning skills and getting an education.
Don’t search “how to make money online for free” on YouTube
Appreciate it because 30s come at you fast
