If you could be in your 20s again, what would you do different?

[dora_da_destroyer]

- shouldn’t have gone to business school, I ain’t ambitious enough in my career

- should’ve cut someone off that first time

- wish I would’ve taken that job in NY, would’ve been fun to live there in my mid 20s

 

[Big D Bangston]

Work out more
Not procrastinate

 

[Pool_Shark]

Don't think I'd change anything. I had to go through all those things to answer questions I always had. At 32 I feel like I finally know myself completely, a big part of that was taking chances and being wrong a lot.

 

[Kuma the Bear]

Mid-20's at the moment but so far:

- Should've done either a Business, Computer Science or Tourism degree instead of a Music one

- Learn to say no to people and put myself first

- Be more open to people rather than closing myself off based on bad experiences

- Travel more


I believe everything happens for a reason though and you learn from it.

I’m still in my 20s, but if I had my early 20s back I’d Graduate college earlier or find a trade, go out more/be open to people & find a wealthy man.

 

[egsteel]

Studied IT(get my A+,net+ certs asap!) and taken college seriously instead of treating it like Highschool: Extreme edition.

seek God sooner

 

[kt773]

Go into tech, get out of teaching earlier , be less of a thot , settle down, start my health journey right after I hurt myself playing football in college , I hurt my knee and couldn’t play anymore , got depressed, gained a shyt lot of weight, I’m back on track at 38 , lost 60 pounds last year and workout five days a week hit if I would have stayed focused after the injury

[International Playa]

Saved more money, focused on education, business & career.

Spent less money on clothes, partying & chasing women

 

[hostsamurai]

I only turned 30 in March but it still applies.

Live in the moment. I was always caught up with putting out fires in the medium and long term I never had an extended period of time where I could actually just do whatever I wanted.

Set hard deadlines and be more conservative with my goals.

Work more, study harder.

Invest more in myself and my experiences as I was ascetic to a fault.

Improve my social skills a lot earlier, social skills are the most important asset you have other than your health and a lack of social skills made me take a couple wrong decisions.

Cut out negative influences.

I would not get a credit card.
I would not get a credit card.
I would not get a credit card.

Yes I understand you ought to establish a credit history, but I could have been way more responsible about it. And looking back, I didn’t need a credit card. Owing those payments over the years caused me more stress and irritation than any joy I got out of the things I bought.
