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.
All of these are solid. Wish I would have saved more during my military years and spent less on beer and bars in our off time.

HR is mafia. They never forgive or forget.

I wish my younger self knew this.
I winked at the HR girl during my interview at old job. Ten years later it's been a solid ass marriage and got a kid on the way.

Congratulations on both counts man. I fucked the HR assistant (bitch who took your pic for your security card) then made her wait outside my parents house at 4am by herself for a taxi . I got fired that week when they randomly selected my emails for an audit.

This was in the early 00s when everyone was sending those lame chain emails

As a father now I reckon I deserved to be sacked. Leaving a young lady out on the street at 4am is poor form. My dad loled tho cause he ain't got no daughter like me.

I would tell my younger self not to bother with either business concept because they'll both end up chewing your ass.

Never start smoking cigarettes. It's probably the only real regret have. Haven't smoked in tears and don't crave it but it's a ridiculous habit to even consider at any point in life.

Also I see far too many people in relationships they are miserable in. As Leigh @Leigh said look for red flags early and listen to friends and family if they think she's a cunt. Married life is awesome of you get it right.

I can imagine how you feel. I've been a blue collar guy since the 90s and nowadays smokers are a much smaller group which is a good thing. I don't judge bit I don't get life time smokers, on the risk reward scale it's extremely lop sided imo.

I remember being 15 working at a gas station and Id cover the till while the cashier would go back a butt. Smokes were $5 or 2 packs for $9.50. Not sure the normal price really but I see signs for economic and premium smokes starting around $10 now, that's crazy how some will continue this habit.

$33AUD for a packet of 40 here, they sell them in plain packaging only meaning no branding and normally have a pic of a cancer patient on them.

Yet I keep smoking, been hitting the bottle a fair bit too much over the last month so Im going to kick the booze starting tonight and once the initial alkie detox fades I think its time to kick the smokes too. Im coughing up aliens every morning. Hard dark brown matter

Good luck dude. There are charts online showing the positive effects of quitting smoking and how long it takes for them. I'm pretty sure that coughing would start to stop in just a few weeks. Hope ya can kick it.
