      God first, then family, then money. If you put God first, everything else will fall into place (and has).

        Kids and marriage are overrated, they may turn out to be the worst investment u can ever make.

          Don’t sit in the TSP G fund for 10 years (or, more generically, understand where/how your retirement money is invested and don’t be afraid to take some risks).

            Who you marry is the most important financial decision of your life.

              Keep doing what you’re doing. You have a very bright future ahead of you!

                Which is better? Suffer for a few years and enjoy the rest of your life financially free or enjoy life now and suffer like most people

                    That’s the age I got started a decent paying career. But I would say to probably start a business a few years later after age 25.

                    I don’t think I want the headache now, though

                      I don’t even think I have enough words for a paragraph to explain how much I messed up and need to change. Can I go back to 18 though?!

                        Value time with your children over working your life away.

                          To start, I am first generation immigrant. Building a network through school/work, start saving and investing early even small amounts, party hard

                          (I did and don’t regret at all, memories are priceless), don’t eat out unless a social event.

                            Ignore the expectations of society. You don’t NEED to get married, have kids, buy a house, open your own business, work for a major corporation, blah, blah, blah.

                            Figure out those things you WANT to do in life and be intentional about when and how you do them.

                            Some experiences are much more enjoyable and possible when you’re young others can be enjoyed later in life.

                            And read A Simple Path to Wealth, then apply what you learn to make all of the above possible.

                              Don’t buy that new car, get into debt. Focus on learning to invest and live well beyond my means. Have kids a little later in life.

                              Focus on retiring by 45 and ignore all the mind manipulation that you have to work until you are in your 60’s.

                                Your health will be worth more than your money. Take care of yourself.

                                  I feel like at 25 was when I got it together so I’d just say to follow the plan and it’s going to turn out great.

                                  Also, the colic will subside and the baby will stop screaming soon…

                                    I’d tell my 25 year old self and my current 26 year old self not to beat myself up about net worth or not getting school figured out sooner.

                                      I would tell my younger self to a) prioritize health and fitness – and exercise, walk, hike more, and also lay off the junk food and b) I’d start investing way sooner and c) strive to always be debt free.
