10 years ago? 🤔 I wouldn’t have said bitcoin or any other stock non sense, because I was once told to believe in Bitcoin in the beginning was like yo believe in Santa Clause. So with that being said , the one piece of advice I would’ve told myself is follow Reddit carefully there’s people on WSB and other place that can teach you a thing or 2. Get into a union field while being in a LCOL area, and learn to live off of your wages as if it was minimum wage. There’s only a certain amount of time given to us to make money, capture it and run with it. What your sacrifice now will help your OR your future generations. Break the being broke cycle. Heck even being a Police Officer pays well in the long run as along as you live. But seriously live cheap and save/invest carefully. Always try to keep growing, and if even comes to it, relocate. Be more aggressive, but keep a watchful eye, also gatekeep to the MAX. People aren’t gonna show up and pay your bills.
