Imagine being able to travel back in time and have a conversation with your younger self. What words of wisdom or advice would you share? What experiences or lessons learned would you want them to know about?
Literally nothing.
Give him a high five and tell him to keep doing what he is doing. Since we invent the time machine, I wouldn’t want to fuck that up. Really I wouldn’t even visit.
I would however be expecting a visit from my future self, to get the details on how to solve global warming and a bunch of other issues.
I would probably tell myself not to bother with college and suggest I go to a technical school instead. Apparently degrees aren’t worth jack shit around here.
Don’t like alcohol that much
Just wait. It’ll all work out fine.
“You are going to let that person be upset. It is not your job to fix their feelings”
You aren’t a fuckup because you weren’t smart enough to protect yourself from getting hurt by others. Your parents are supposed to be looking out for you and they are not. They are to blame, not you.
Don’t sell your Bitcoin.
Alternately, buy more Bitcoin.
Save as much money as possible;
Short AA at the end of Aug 2001; you’ll know when to cover.
In Oct 2001 buy AAPL
In 2008 buy bitcoin… keep buying, and WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORDS, until it hits $100. Don’t worry about it; just do it.
I’m not sure I would. If I could have avoided the bullshit or done the things that would have optimized my income and wealth, I don’t think I would have ended up where I am now. The risk doesn’t seem worth it, I would be a completely different person with a completely different life.
Money things, obv
But i could definitely help guide myself through some lessons that i learned the hard way.Don’t fucking join the Army
Don’t become the person you think you’d hate to become haha.
“Convince someone to buy bitcoin for you and hold on to it”
Invest in you old age: Superannuation or some other savings device. You need to put on as much as you possibly can as soon as you can but this needn’t mean you plow all your income into it straight away. Transfer or invest as little as $20 per week initially, you’ll never miss it and after a few weeks or months keep increasing the amount till you’ve reached your ceiling. Reinvest your earnings or dividends, compound interest is a beautiful thing.
