What would you tell your 18yo self?


Recommended Posts

Buy land in downtown Scottsdale. 

Buy some Microsoft and Apple stock. 

Notes to self:

Buy some Bitcoin at $1, in 2011. Buy some ETH in 2015, at 65 cents. 

Buy Palm Springs condos in 1995, and buy Vancouver condos in 2000.

 

Get out of America, as soon as you make your first 5 mil. 

 

Could have, should have, would have.

I'd tell myself that everything I was told about life by Boomers was actually hogwash. Saving your money and being responsible does not get you ahead. Only irrational gambling gets you ahead.

 

So break your precious savings into 10k shots to gamble. Tesla scam here, bitcoin scam there. Anything that looks like an obvious pyramid scheme is a good investment. Follow the herd wherever it goes. Don't think.

And I thought the idea is to stay on them - or at least sit on them. ???? 

In London I knew 2 Drs that were smashed while riding motorbikes. Neither was their fault and one wore all the protective gear.

 

I rode m'bikes since I was 18.

In Thailand I rode wearing helmet, gloves, t shirt, shorts and flip flops. My accident was caused by another motorcyclist driving into me when I was almost stationary, because he wasn't looking where he was going. I was lucky in that I got away with a broken bone in my hand and scraped legs. Could have been a lot worse. I was insured for riding a m'bike.

 

I rode in LOS knowing the potential for tragedy, but I believed that if I was going to have an accident there was nothing I could do to avoid it ( fate ), and it's just too hot to wear proper gear, which in the case of the Dr didn't save him anyway.

 

IMO the only way to be safe on a m'bike is to not be on a m'bike.
