This thread is more for me to potentially gather some knowledge but because I started the thread, I'll include one.

I'd just tell myself to do the things that I don't want to do so that I don't have to do them later. I have a bit of a procrastination issue.

I just want to hear what you guys would say, sorry brothassss.

Better assessment of myself, women and people in general.

But then again, learning by doing eh? Would I have listened to myself? Probably not.

No matter how little you make, put some of your check into a retirement account.

Stay in shape (or get in shape); it is way harder to get in shape when you are older.

Use your disposable income to take trips when you are young, not to buy stuff. You can buy stuff later, it is harder to travel when you have a significant other and/or kids and more responsibilities at work.

Stay away from Alcohol.

Over the years I've came across to many guys who died from Alcohol related incidents.

Three guys drowned while drunk, two guys suffered massive heart attacks in their 50's after a long nights boozin.

Worked with a good 20 or so guys who's suffered congestive heart failure / high blood pressure due to alcohol abuse.

Two guys in their late 30's drank themselves to death - liver failure.


Was never told about the true dangers of alcohol growing up, all the kids I hung around with drank our parents drank and it wasn't till years later and seeing first hands the dangers and risks that come with Alcohol did I understand the full scope.

I would tell myself to always wear a rubber and stay living in my parents house until I had saved dump truck loads of money. Then move out when my bank account is fat and my student loans are paid off.

Also, always do a double check to see if she has an adams apple.
