    If you were in your early twenties…

    Some things to think about.

    • live with roommates - save the money for a house or investing … or live cheap so you can take more risks.
    • auto-invest into index funds - 10 to 20 years goes fast.
    • take more risks - it’s easy to work a job, come home, and sit in front of the tv or play video games. Go make something while you have the energy of youth.
    • got a dream? go do it. - trying things while you’re young is easier because you have fewer responsibilities.
    • put yourself in the path of opportunity: want to do X? Move to a big city where more people are doing X… or get hired by the top company doing X. Hang out with people are doing or want to do that thing.
    • get control of your weight - this is easier in your 20s and has a big impact on your mental state, your energy levels, romantic life, friendships, and business opportunities.
    • read the Bible all the way through - I have religious reasons for recommending it, but it’s a large foundation for Western Civilization. So it’s a good context for understanding the world and people.
    • don’t underestimate what you can do while in your 20s - U2 recorded Joshua Tree by the time they were 27. George Lucas directed Star Wars at 32. Paul Anka wrote “My Way” for Frank Sinatra at 28. Frank Miller wrote the comic Dark Knight Returns at 27.
    • practice self-control - Eliminate/reduce vices. They won’t help you. And they have a big impact on physical and mental health.
    • be the initiator - at work, in friendships, in family, in life … don’t wait for someone else to invite you. Reach out. Make things happen.
    • change jobs every 2-3 years - get a lot of experience at a lot of places. It will help you know what you like, what you’re good at, and what good/bad workplaces are. Also, this is the fastest way to a raise.
    • live in reality (not fantasy) - don’t spend all your time in movies, video games, and TikTok. Go out and do things with people. Go accomplish something in the real world. In 10 years you won’t care about that level you beat in the video game, but you will remember that friend you met while on your
    • make amends & forgive - as much as you can, maintain and restore relationships with family and friends.
