ITT: 50 year old me drops wisdom on 20 year old me

Well guys, I hit 50 years old this year.
I have had good years and not good years. But if I had the opportunity to go back and talk to 20 year old me, and have 20 year old me listen, this is what I would say:

-Figure out early what is important; you cannot do this early enough
-Dont spend so much money on liquor. I could have bought a brand new SUV by now
-Pick a few things and do them well and stick with them, quit chasing random crap
-Select a career you love regardless of the money, cause you never know when you will be kicked to the curb, unless you want to be self-employed.
-You treat people like crap, you will get treated like crap. Expect it, and no cryin
-Eat right.
-Whats outside (aesthetic) is important, but whats more important is who you are inside (no whiteknight, just reality, deal with it)
-Insecure people always have to have someone/something else to blame. Dont be that guy.

(More later, and BTW no amount of rage on your part will change the validity of my words):
The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government. Thomas Jefferson

Cheers, mate. Appreciate you passing on the advice. I know I'm still young, but I always wish I could go back with what I know now and do it all over. Trying my best to stop making mistakes for the future.

This is the same with me. I'm early 20s too, but damn what I'd give to start over…

Happy 50th for this year OP, and thanks for the advice!
How dare you!

Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat if you feel the heat around the corner.

Completely this, I guess it's not worth living in the past though. Gotta look to the future and making the most of it.

Just me but, you will find that one that you love and she loves you back. But its not going to be found in endless parties or clubbing or going from one empty sex encounter to the next. You guys are going to call me old fashioned, but I have been married once, to the same woman for 25 years, and we still love each other, respect each other and like each other.

Cause that's a dead end that leads to emptiness in the long run; you find out what a solid fam is worth when you have to face testicular cancer and beat it.
