What would you tell your 18yo self?

[sipi]

Look after your health and your money.

Once they're gone, they're gone.

I wouldn't tell myself but rather remind myself to keep egging the fast bowler to keep bowling short.

Loved playing the hook shot over square leg.

Perhaps 'Get a life'  might have been appropriate

Everything is going to be alright...

Go with your gut. 

[n00dle]

quit smoking

[bert bloggs]

Dont change a thing,your life is going to be great, just eat healthier food.

 

[JayClay]

There wouldn't be much point in telling my 18yo self anything. He wouldn't listen!

[Social Media]

You are gonna make it to 65 so PLAN BETTER and save more when you get the chance ! ????

[LaosLover]

Join the army. No seriously.

 

I come from a very poor background. I could have gotten an education, seen the world, and eventually schmoozed myself into a sweet do-nothing gig. Like in Okinawa.

 

Or Ubon -in the mid 70's? How fall-down great would that have been?

 

Damn you counterculture!

 

No wait, hippie nude women. And drugs. Call it a draw, decision-wise.

[Maha Sarakham]

Probably would have joined the Air Force and stayed in for as long as possible.

[Boomer6969]

Get help for ADHD and join medical school.

[GinBoy2]

I don't think I'd tell my 18 year old self anything cos chances are I wouldn't have listened!

Don't trust women.

 

Eat your veggies.

 

Don't stop exercising.

 

Save and invest early.

Joining the services was the best thing I ever did. Came out with a trade and an appetite for travel.

Pity about the <deleted> guys that run it. It could have been so much better and the senior NCO bullies were pretty bad.

No trust in others sounds line a poor and lonely life!

[Myran]

Probably to go for a different education and to start saving money earlier in order to build up a passive income faster than I actually did.

[xylophone]

I've had an adventurous life up until this point and wouldn't change anything about it at all.........BUT I would tell myself to investigate the share market and put a little money away on a regular basis, in a diversified fund for my future, and most importantly – DON'T GET MARRIED.

[JetsetBkk]

Marry her.

[DBath]

Most of what you've learned up to this point is nothing but lies.

 

[DBath]

Invest in Oracle, Google, Intel, Microsoft and FaceBook (when they finally go public).

Intel is currently at the same price it traded at in the year 1999. Why?

Yeah? How many times has it split? If zero, then 4 out of 5 ain't bad.

[Lacessit]

1/ Don't get married, or have a relationship longer than one year in any Western country.

 

2/ Don't get anyone pregnant.

 

3/ Buy as much property as you can, and sit on it. Preferably property that generates an income while it appreciates in value. They don't make any more of it.

 

4/ Don't smoke, don't give into peer pressure.

 

5/ Save money. Leave the shiny new toys to the poseurs. The only people you need to impress are the ones who determine your salary.

 

6/ As soon as you have enough dosh to retire on for the rest of your life, come to Thailand.

 

7/ Don't get married here either.

Charts are split adjusted. 

 

Yeah, that's true, 4/5 ain't bad. But you are looking in hindsight now.

No guarantees in life. I knew a guy that married a girl as good looking as that. She became fat, unpleasant and divorced.
