Elders, whats any advice to give the younger generation wether its life, financial, regrets, or anything etc??

Your future isn't promised, live your life as it comes, and don't put shit off for retirement. I've watched so many of my family members and friends die before they ever got to do the things they wanted to do. Take the trip, buy the clothes, and eat at the nice restaurant. You really don't know how much time you're going to get.

nobody lying on their deathbed ever said "i wish i had spent more time at work"

not exactly an elder but stay curious longer than feels comfortable. switching directions at 28 or 32 isn't failure it's just information

invest and save early

I’d say focus on building habits, not just chasing outcomes, small consistent steps matter more than big leaps. And seriously, save a bit, take care of your health, and don’t be afraid to fail, it teaches more than success ever will.

Spend time with your love ones. And feel free to get away from people who are draining your energy.

dont rush everything I spent most of my 20s thinking I was “behind” compared to others and it just made me anxious for no reason. Life is not a race, people figure things out at very different times focus on being consistent instead of trying to have everything solved early

Don’t date to just date.

Don’t compare yourself to others

Don’t give up. Fail. Fail a lot. If you’re not failing. You’re not trying hard enough.

Save 10%. For you. Don’t touch it. Preferably in a Roth IRA. The concept is to pay yourself first.

Create an estate plan with a licensed attorney. Ask them what you need to do to follow up on the plan they create to make it effective. Do the things they tell you to do. Young people die. Old people die. Everyone dies. If you have a preference for who gets your shit, make a legally valid plan for your assets to transfer to who you want when you die. Dont do it later. Do it now.

Start investing young and regularly. Even $50 per paycheck in your early 20’s into an index fund can become a lot of money later in life. Don’t live beyond your means. Learn and understand compound interest and grow real wealth!

Floss. And take care of your knees.

Don’t settle for less

Be kind

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em. 

1. Listening to music, find the groove and f***ing dance to it, even if it's just swaying side to side. 2. Men: get ur prostate cancer screening early. Ur gonna hate life if u wait too long & then have to have it removed.

Practice true gratitude. Be thankfully. Say so. Tell people you love them when it’s true, and I hope it’s true more often than not. Smile at strangers. Makes them feel good. Makes you feel good. Free therapy and chemical free endorphins. This one hurts, cuz I didn’t, take care of yourself. In every way. Teeth. OMG! Teeth! Hearing. F*** snapping my long hair in the late 80’s and not wearing ear plugs at concerts-tinnitus sucks! Your brain. Your diet. Your body. Walk. Lazy f*****. Walk! You don’t have to do any more than that! Take care of relationships. Friends. Family. Professional. Each in the right way. Choose careful crossing any of those groups together. Edit: 60M

You’re not as clever as you think you are, so always prepare things to go sideways and keep an open mind. Plans aren’t 100% guaranteed and things that you think are 100% right can change faster than you think. I admire young people’s passion but more often then not when they hit a bump or curve they’ll crash and burn.

Learn to form healthy boundaries and enforce them

Nuance A friend can hurt your feelings or make a mistake and still be a good friend. A terrible person can create something of worth and still be a terrible person to be associated with. You can spend money on little things that make you happy and save for your future if you work on the balance. You can feel helpless and make an effort to change things. Nothing in the world is entirely one thing or the opposite, it’s up to you to find the nuance and weigh the meaning of the subtleties. I gave examples but this applies to everything

Ask for what you want or need, don't expect others to read your mind

put in as much money kow as you can into your retirement fund. literally max out what you can afford to. you will thank yourself later (i mm kicking myself)

Travel. Everyone knows that trump is nuts and they’d be sympathetic. Europe then the Eastern part of the USA.

You always have a choice as to what sort of person you get to be. I’ve met so many toxic people who are just so tiring. Those sorts surround themselves with other negative people and ultimately make everyone feel like shit. You can choose to not be them.

get lots of good credit you can get loans at 0% if u know

Chase your dreams as early as you can. Time sneaks past you

After being fucked by Boomers already, the Boomers are currently doing the biggest f*** ever, the last big dynasty making f***, just before they pass of old age. Good luck young generation.

I thought you were asking the real estate/insurance company 🤣

Do core strength exercises regularly, and keep them up. Your back will thank you in the long run.

What’s Whether

Don’t save your virginity for marriage or someone special. Just get out there and start (safely) f******. There’s never a better time than when you’re young.

Start saving more money now Don't waste time in a relationship if you are hoping they will change. They won't. If anything they will get worse.

Watch you money and learn to budget and live within your means. Learn to cook from scratch, as home prepared meals are generally cheaper than pre prepared microwave food. A credit card limit isn't free money.

I used to think marriage was forever. But no--you could divorce and literally never see the person again if either you (or they) wanted to. Having a *child* is what binds you to someone forever! So: never want to see an ex again? Well tough, because custody switchoffs are every single friday and there's that birthday next month, then the graduation next year, and you can't bring the kids to christmas even if grandma is on her way out because it's her turn to have them this year... you'll never be free. I think about this with the current young gen trend of having babies with gfs. It just seems so silly to me--to be *afraid* of marriage to someone you love, but no concerns at all about making babies with them.

Be kind, but don't let people use you.

You know all those things they tell you to stay away from? Stay away from them. Booze. Smoking. Vaping. Gambling. Anything that can be addicting. Not everyone needs to have a family or kids, but that kind of life is more joyful than the party addicting ones. Can be gay or straight, with kids or not, married or not, but a life of family of some kind. Develop a passion. It can be a calling that consumes you. It could be your work. It could be your hobby. It could be your partner or it could be caving stones. A life without passion is dull. Don't just consume. Nothing wrong with consuming. But create something. Write. Play music. Make dolls. Build a business. Create spaces for people to feel good. But create something. Your old tricks only work so long. A few types of things a timeless. But most things change. You're on top of some game or ability today, that won't last. Enjoy it. But also plan for what's next when that fades. Never live in fear. -- Not of your job. Your health. Another person. Your limitations. Never subjugate yourself to someone else. -- Compromise is good. Doing for others is good. But do not every lose yourself for their sake long term. Live your life, not theirs. Love isn't finding the perfect person. You grow to love what you take care of. Limit your screen time. Have one day a week where you use zero technology (screens) unless it's an emergency or something you medically can't live without. If one day a week is too much do it at least one day a month. Also have hours in a day that you avoid it. Screens will eat your life. Go easy on yourself. You will make mistakes. Maybe big ones. Be realistic about yourself but then forgive yourself and move on. Plenty of other people may judge you and punish you, you don't need to do it to yourself. You don't have to be nice to people but please be kind. Don't harm anyone if you can avoid it. Have fun. No one gets out alive. In some ways it's all a game. So detach a little and enjoy even the crappy parts. I don't know how to do any of that but it sounds good ;-)

don't spend randomly, have value for money first in your mind...if you can live without spending unnecessarily you won...!

Live in the present.

There is no greater force in this world than consistency. Whether it's your physical health, mental health, finances/savings or relationships little and often will always be better than large and irregular.

Not an elder. But 34. Travel in your 20s and experience different cultures and new places before responsibilities. I spent most of my 20s focused heavily on work, thinking that was the key to a good life. I only really started travelling in my 30s and realised how fulfilling it is, it’s something I wish I had done earlier. But it’s been difficult to balance travel with work and everyday bills. Now, with both of my parents facing terminal diagnoses and getting older, travelling is off the cards for a while. I own my own house from the years I spent working hard in my 20s. Still, some days I wonder if it was worth it, when I could have been out creating memories instead.

F*** bitches get money

Create a family of your own and do wonderful things together forever

If your family doesn’t like your partner…they are right and you need to listen.
