Attend college out of state, and see what else the world has to offer.

Do better in school
Invest in Apple
If you meet a pretty girl named Kelly, run the other way.

Ok, assuming no stock or sport picks.

Max out Roth IRA now and 401k as soon as you get a job .

Car, used is fine.

1. Girls, step one, what family do they come from? Marriage is a strategic decision not a tactical one.

2. Girls, quality over quantity.

Finances, retirement, be frugal, buy some land and not a house in a neighborhood.

Take care of my BACK and joints. Dad was right!

Learn to work on your own car. I taught myself so much over the years but I should have started way sooner. You save a lot of money and don't get screwed over because you know it was done correctly.

Probably to learn a trade instead of the typical college route. I should have just did Welding right out of high school. I already love to weld and fixing my own stuff helps save a lot of money.

Try to own your business if logical/possible

Don’t spend your life working for others, again so long as possible

Have something that you can build then sell

1) Life is expensive. Plan
accordingly.

2) If you're going to be dumb,
then you'd better be tough!

3) When an older person,
especially a family member,
tries to give you advice listen
carefully.

My mom told me #2 hundreds of times. I didn't listen and have paid the price.

Put everything single penny you can into Apple, Google, and Amazon stock. Then sell some to buy equipment for mining bitcoin. Also, stay away from that short brunette you met in New Orleans. She'll cause you a lot of grief over the years.
