I agree. Home ownership can lock up the ability to move and be nimble...its a liability as much as an asset.

I was under the impression this was about life advice, not necessarily things they have to do before turning 30
Actually the Best advice i can give is:
Do whatever the fukk you want when ever the fukk you want... or figure out a way to do it if you don't have the means Right now.. you may even have to use a few people to do it.
thats how i live my life.... just like fukk it.
people will say
you're crazy
ignorant
dumb
insensitive
blah
blah
but you will wake up at age 30 and be like GOTTDAMN i fukking did it all so far.

Im doing what i decided to do in HS...then college then after... I dont have doubts about what I do.. I sometimes had doubts on where I'm working not what I do...
But 1 thing I learned is you cant second guess yourself. you make a decision and live with it good or bad.... We can always second guess ourselves and say what if i did this, what if i did that. but we cant live our lives on what ifs we gotta live in the now..
well, you can't just say sell dope without also saying..
never be the one to touch shyt
don't text
dont trust
and have an exit plan to go legit.

Don't be afraid to move for an opportunity. I've lived in 5 different states in the past five years chasing opportunities that have ultimately landed me in the best possible place I could be to get a tenure track professorship when I finish school.
Find mentors and be persistent in pursuing those mentor relationships. You have no idea who can put you on in the future.
Be willing to sacrifice luxury in your twenties in order to secure a stress free (financially) future. People laugh at me, but I (a 29 year old woman) will spend the next two years living in a dorm so that I leave school without any bad debt and with a huge downpayment for a house.
Take every opportunity you have to see the world while you have very little responsibility.

Agreed. I have long and short term plans and contingency plans that I update as needed.

In your atmosphere
I don't listen to anyone older than me 
- when you become a parent it is the greatest joy and feeling in the world and its ur obligations and ur responsibility to be there for ur kid regardless if your not with the person who u made that kid. teach your kid good values that u learned and grew up with and put them on the right path. you will make mistakes on raising a child like a normal person will but u will also grow and mature as you watch your child grow and become a better person than you as they get older and that right there should be a great goal to achieve while also making sure no matter how old they get you will always be there and support them till the day you die so they know you as a parent is the one thing that is constant in their life
- enjoy your single life as long as possible you dont need a man/woman to be with to make you happy. you need to have fun and discover who you are as a person. what do u want outta your life, what are your goals to succeed in your life and your career. how can you be with somebody if you dont know who you truly are as a person. you may think you know yourself but you change as you get older or thru some tough experiences can change your outlook on things and yourself
- stop going for these females with big ass and t*ts and etc.......... now u thinking
but here is the reality of this. nothing wrong wanting to be with a dime piece female with top and bottom shyt looks nice and makes u feel like 
but ultimately how is she treating you? does she make u happy? is she loyal and trustworthy? is she lazy as shyt or high maintenance? u can find those women who are not those things and treat u well that are a dime piece but young fellas nowadays too stuck on the looks part then when they get it wondering why she aint shyt and cheating and spending your money. the first thing is toss the side the looks if possible but keep it at average and go for someone who gets you, who's into you and treats u well. u can will see past that make up and big ass and t*ts too a another place of happiness and peace and less stress cuz that inner beauty tends to be everlasting at times while the looks will fade. dont be so shallow and try to lower ur standards in looks u be surprised and what u may find is a hidden gem who shyts on that nicki minaji type of female cuz the joy she brings you
- travel for gods sake u are missing out on some many diff places, countries to see the world is too beautiful not to be explored

There is pro and cons to everything.
So...another advice I would give people, educate yourself as much as possible, so you can know the pros and cons instead of taking someone else's word. Why make major decisions based on someone else's opinion? Because what might be right for one person, might not be right for another. Learn the basics, so you can come up with the best strategy instead of following someone else's blueprint.
