Re: Top 10 things to tell an 18 year old
RetNav and DD are getting close to the saving one. I think pay yourself first just made it. The message I want him to learn in this area is that the clock ticks, so starting to save now and forever will definitely make a difference in his life. I wish I had learned that at his age . . .<br /><br />Ultimately Warhorse has identified maybe the most important one as I had said I may remove #1 only because that is already in his mind.<br /><br />I've gotta spend a little time with JB's and NOSLEEP's lists<br /><br />1) Have faith in God <br />2) Do what you say and mean what you say<br />3) Never make a major decision when you are: angry, horny, or hungry<br />4) Life is not fair <br />5) You know right from wrong, always have the convictions to do whats right<br />6) Don't step aside, step up <br />7) Live within your means <br />8) Pay yourself first and start now<br />9) The most important decision you will ever make is choosing your spouse. From that single decision will come 98% of your happiness or 98% of your misery
