Occasionally I’m asked what advice I’d give my younger self. Here goes. 1: Enjoy the hair, it won’t be there forever. 2: Set aside what you can and invest early, time will do the heavy lifting for you. 3: Buy life insurance after you get a job when you’re young to protect your future family, it’ll never be cheaper than it is now. 4: You’ve been given a lot, give back when you can. It feels great when you do. 5: Do the fun thing and enjoy time being with the people you love. They may not be there forever either. 6: Don’t jump off that cliff, you know it’s a terrible idea and you’re going to do it anyway. Sincerely, Older (wiser?) you.
