Thanks for the advice OP, this may have been asked already, but if you would have followed all of this advice starting when you were 20 would your current life situation be different? If so in what way?

I would be better off financially.
I would not be battling my weight like I am.
I would have experienced less heartache (eliminating it is impossible).
I would have left a trail of people who were blessed by knowing me rather than some people who were crushed by my selfishness and lack of care.

But I don't live in disabling regret or remorse, I am just answering the question.

Lol, seriously.

Idk OP. If you hadn't gone out and gotten yucky you might be sitting their wondering what you missed out on while driving your nice new car. Right now I'm in school for something I already love doing but it takes so much of my time, and most of the rest of my time is for lifting and working so I'm missing out on most of the partying, but I feel I'm on the track I want to be on school/lifting wise and that's more important too me. But I'll probably be 50 years old wondering what it would have been like to roll the dice down town more often.
Eat Right. Lift Heavy. Be a Fat Manlet.

(edit) $50-$100 every weekend for 8 years = $20,000 - $40,000
For years all I did was drink with buds and play RPG board games
and burn through money.

Didn't think love was real, wanted to get a motorcycle and travel the US and write and use and sleep with as many women as possible.

The suggestion to devote oneself to a few things rather than going from one random hobby to the next, struck home with me. Thanks.

That wasn't what I really wanted. It was what I was going to settle for, because I believed the only woman that I would ever consider marrying was out of my league. I was wrong. I'm so glad I didn't settle.

OP what is devotion though? Most of my friends don't really have hobbies, so I am unsure how much time and energy I should be spending on mine. Curious as to what you think.

And great advice, thanks for making us think about this stuff. Happy belated birthday!
