What advice would you give you today if you were 18 again?

That's a brain buster for me.  I'd say, go slowly, very slowly.

Spend more time with the older generation.  As when they are gone, it's too late Smiley Sad

Financially, I'd say go ahead and buy that piece of land. Otherwise, I think I'd say to figure out what's important in my life and not try to listen and live someone else's dreams.

If I were 18 again I wouldn't have much advice to give...ignorance was bliss!

I'd tell myself to live more prudently financially. Old age comes fast!

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

I think of this often actually... I would tell my 18 year old self, it will all be okay and turn out, maybe not the way you planned but you are happy.

Eat better, exercise more, and spend as much time with those you love as you can.  

 

And once you reach 'comfortable and secure' status, don't worry about "stuff" so much.
