People 40+ what valuable life advice would you give to someone younger?
Take care of your body if you get injured dont play it off you are young you will be fine that stuff compounds later in life and will bit you in the ass
Your attention is your most valuable commodity. Always be discerning to where you give it
That’s great advice
I don’t always take my own advice, but I can give it and sound wise lol
Start an IRA account and invest as much as you can every year. It's likely to be the only money available for you when you're "retired"
Avoid social media, you will be happier.
Do not allow disrespect to persist in your life. When someone no longer values your energy and presence, disappear quietly, no explanation, no chasing.
Life is profoundly unfair. No one really knows what they're doing. I'm sorry, and good luck.
Learn healthy emotional regulation and interpersonal communication.
Buy the most house you can afford, and the least car you need. Don't ignore health issues. Invest consistently. Avoid anything meme stock. Invest in the boring things. Banks, insurance companies, bricks and mortar. Do what makes you happy. Don't care about what other people think of you. Pay your credit cards on time and in full. If you can't pay it off at the end of the month, you can't afford it (emergencies are an obvious exception). Learn to cook. Eat well. Keep a budget and review your spending closely. Avoid subscription-creep.
go abroad early and often if you're an American
Focus on yourself. Focus on your bank account. Travel. Do everything that you could ever wanna do. Don’t accept less than what you deserve. And if they tell you that you are too much, send them on their way so they can find less.
Everyone is weird, embrace your weird and don’t worry about what others think
Start saving $ now
Focus on everything else before trying to be in a long term relationship.
Save and invest
In adult life no matter what anyone tells you, always be able to think for yourself.
The way you live in your 30s will show up in your 60s.
Don't get married
Looks maxing is for the birds. Concentrate on IQ maxing
Don't ignore your health for money, you can earn money. You cannot get your health back once it goes away
1. Take the time to study and practice self love. 2. Then spend time alone with your thoughts and the quiet as often as you can until loneliness is not longer impactful/you no longer require company to do every little thing. 3. Meeting your shadows, thank them, then let them go.
Don't take yourself too seriously
Very good advice all of the above .. please remember all this.. I made a major life mistake in mid 40s giving credence to other ..
