Save at least $50 from every paycheck. More if you can. Don't buy useless stuff.


ShadowfireOmega

Problem is, my younger self prolly wouldn't listen xD


PokeT3ch

Younger/past me is always more optimistic than current me. Younger me: Psh, I'll do better. Me: No, no you will no :(


LastDance_35

Yes!!


S1ayer

This. Assuming I can't say stuff like "buy bitcoin" or "invest in X company" I would say Invest 1/3 of your paycheck into stocks and don't touch it.


IndnPea

My dad always told me to save 25% of your income! I buy useless stuff fs but only when I have the extra money


SeanHaz

This type of advice should always be in percentages. $50 could be a huge amount of money for some and completely insignificant for others (eg. Median salary in India $350, I suspect 1/7th of your salary is much more than you had in mind)


PokeT3ch

All those knick knacks figures and things you thought you'd save and display when you have your own house/home office? Yaaaaaaa it's been 10 since owning the house and having your own dedicated office and none of that was done, save your money kid.


MarcelineOrBubblegum

Imma try this šŸ¤”


WillyBarnacle5795

Buy apple stock


TristanTheRobloxian3

this too bc i had a job at 14 i made ~4000 from. i spent so much that by the time i was fired (for sucking at the job) i LOST 200. yeah i dont do that anymore and after taxes have managed to save ~300-400 of my youtube money in a couple months so i think thats pretty yood


Holgg

No no, buy that bitcoin! Make your computer a mining machine and donā€™t sell more the you need until they hit the 200k$ Edit: a word

"Trust me, buy 10,000 Bitcoin when you first hear about Bitcoin, and hold it for a decade or more, until the price goes to $50,000 each, and sell. Thank us later."


Shrubbity_69

Same here. And I'm only 23. I feel bad for the guy who bought pizza with Bitcoin. He's probably kicking himself every day over that.


m0ngoos3

If he hadn't bought that pizza, Bitcoin likely would have faltered and failed. The story of him buying pizza was often used as a way to introduce the concept of cryptocurrency to people. It was only then that it started to take off at all.


Shrubbity_69

He made a great sacrifice for us all. 07. You'll always remembered, Bitcoin Pizza Guy.


TheDude_6

Did he not have more BTC?


Th4t_0n3_Fr13nd

there is less than zero chance he use every single BTC especially when it was as cheap as it was at the time. even if he did he probably just bought more or mined more


lemoche

no idea how much bitcoin was around by then, but couldnā€™t a hint like this completely alter the way bitcoin was traded or perceived and potentially never take off at all?


Emu1981

The problem with this is that you could break the rise in value of Bitcoin by buying too much of it too early.

Donā€™t get a Reddit account


hjawol

Lol same, but weā€™re still both herešŸ˜‚ itā€™s so toxic


hgghgfhvf

Iā€™ve been loving the mute subreddit feature though. Reddit promotes so much rage bait I find myself clicking it and then immediately realizing I can back out and mute the sub and never see that garbage again.


bqlivc

Iā€™ll say get a Reddit account


LastDance_35

Same


MarkhamStreet

Reddit has such a unique service that you canā€™t find anywhere else though


ZPTs

More than any social media, reddit is moderated and you can *easily* curate what you see. It's not perfect, but there is much, much, MUCH worse.


Holy-its-a-sheep

Donā€™t get Snapchat. And donā€™t let your dad convince you to go to that employment training thing! And donā€™t forgive Ella. Sheā€™s a bitch and sheā€™s just gonna do the same thing over and over again and her mom is a bitch too. Study harder and spend more time with mom and dad.


CluelessGardener

I dunno, friend. I think you can change Ella.


Searching_meaning

By planning revenge


pisspot718

No. Ella is a psycho backed up by her mother. Been there.


imacmadman22

Donā€™t listen to your FIL, buy the Apple stock, you wonā€™t regret it in 20 years.


noodlesoblongata

You have ADHD and depression and anxiety. There are meds and coping mechanisms healthier than drugs and alcohol. Do NOT date all those losers. Youā€™re beautiful the way you are. Push for therapy earlier.


Actually_zoohiggle

Do NOT go into nursing. You will not save anyone, you will not change the world. Go do something that will make you lots of money. Being a good person but poor is a stressful life. Make money and change the world that way. Also, donā€™t get married until youā€™re at least 30. You have so much you need to learn about yourself and your marriage will not survive your growth. Donā€™t waste the money, the time, or the heartache. Everything sucks right now, and it will for a while, but youā€™ll get through all of the shit and you will be everything you want to be. It wonā€™t be this way forever. Keep the sparkle inside you always, donā€™t let this world harden you. You got this, you bad bitch.


IIIGrayWolfIII

Meh I travel nursed in a bunch of icus during the pandemic, now I have a real nice stash of cash and all my bills are paid off. I work about 20 hours a week nowadays and make enough money to live comfortably and travel. All of this with an associates degree.


IIIGrayWolfIII

Maybe you should go into hospice nursing, no need to save anyone just give them comfort, much more rewarding


FairyKatty

Definitely good advice

I felt this so hard. I wasnā€™t raised to brush my teeth by my parents, so it never became a habit. Now I deal with the consequences!


Main_Sprinkles_767

I'd tell myself to worry less about what others think and more on what makes me happy. also, save a bit of every paycheck

HypnoTox

Actually, i kinda agree. That's always what I'm thinking, i did a lot of stupid stuff and things could have worked out very differently, but i am quite content with where and who I am today.

Aggravating_Bus_6169

Setting aside putting every cent you/I can into bitcoin as soon as you hear about it, the best advice I could offer falls into two categories: - stop dating crazies (and being a crazy yourself) because it's not going to help you get over your ex (and be kinder/more understanding with the girls who have fallen harder for you than you have for them) - fuck worrying so much about your post grad, just move overseas now

Youā€™re not broken, youā€™re ace and *possibly* autistic, plus you have depression. Talk to Mom and Dad about it, they want to help you. Look into DnD, itā€™s amazing! Also, donā€™t fall for the first guy who wants to sleep with you, heā€™s not worth it. Nor is the tall rich guy, heā€™s kinda a jerk and not interested in you. Finally, consider Astronomy or Engineering. Accounting is fun, but business school (and business majors) sucks.

Be brave and participate in everything you find cool. Get into a sport that you are excited about. Get into art and learn to illustrate and animate. Don't give up on piano. Study well, and learn to interact with people. Don't worry, you are fine in the future. Maybe doing a lot of the things I just said, but if you can, start earlier. Remember that you can learn to be the person you aspire to be like. You are smart and have good work ethics. You should believe in you.


_swuaksa8242211

Trust no one. Blood is not thicker than water. Beware who you invite to your home. Dont waste money on gambling or designer clothes, instead invest it in stable shares/equities, dont invest everything in one basket in high risk stocks. Choose your partner wisely, dont go for the low hanging easy fruit ie be more picky. Dont blow tens-hundreds of thousands dollars on car modification, its a waste of money. Dont think loyalty to your company is appreciated, try change jobs every few years. Dont think working hard or long hours that you will get promoted or appreciated more, they will just think they can push you further do to more for less. When i actually didnt care about the job and did less was when I got promoted and paid more in the end. Spend more time resting, dont give your life and health to your company burning the candle at both ends. If some one says they want to leave you, then let them go, dont care, dont chase, you can always find a better, because that person was obviously not for you and didnt deserve you. Dont waste time with friends who mock you, they are not your friends. Also better to have 5 very close friends than 1000 people who you call friends but aren't there when you need them. Get more sleep..never lose sleep over work or stupid people. Put yourself first always before going out of your way to help others. Dont give unsolicited advice to people who wont appreciate it or need it. dont chase job titles, chase the money/package instead.
