“You can love the company as much as you like, but the company will never love you back.” - My dad.
The best I ever received? Start saving and investing when you’re young to benefit from compound interest over time. I didn’t take the advice, but I received it!
Did you have money to invest when you were young enough for the advice to matter?
If you worked for $8/hr and took 5% of your income and put it towards retirement (I know 5% is a lot when you’re broke) from age 18-67 assuming you got a 2% raise every year, you could retire with ~$385,000 in the bank and it would last you until you were 79. That’s using the default numbers from Bankrate. If you could bump your savings rate up to 15% using those same numbers (which is admittedly unrealistic) you would be a millionaire at retirement. The moral of the story is start early and be consistent.
If you’re making $8/hr, your head is going to be incredibly deep underwater. 5% is not remotely possible at that wage. At 15% you may as well be living in fantasyland.
The fucked up thing about plain money is that even if you have a million today, that million will be worth less than half when you retire, due to inflation and nrtions that keep printing more money to cover their expenses.
As a young teenager: Do not start working until you have to. Once you start, you’ll never stop.
Depends on if you have found your passion. I found the career I was passionate about at age 14 and now have more experience than the vast majority of my peers. Until just recently, I had never managed someone younger than me, and I’ve been a supervisor for a very long time now.
Don’t give crazy a baby.
Think long and hard before having kids. Understand if you actually have what it takes to give them a proper life.
Always stick your dick in crazy.
Far away from where you live with a fake name and number.
Never commit more than one crime at a time
There are so many laws that it’s impossible not to break multiple at once if breaking a big one. Like planning and executing a heist requires you to break a hundred different laws.
I think it’s more like “don’t drive fast with a tail light out” or “come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign if you have (illegal) drugs in your car”.
