Why are Americans in such a hurry to get married? At 24 years old people are already thinking of marriage, it's ridiculous to me. Take your time, build you career, travel the world, really figure out who you are before you even think of marriage. I'm not even saying one has to sleep around and all of that, but I just don't think people truly realize what marriage is. That's why divorce rates are so high.
Sorry for that rant y'all but I needed to get that off my chest
I mean goddamn I had 3 middle aged married white women hit on me this week, I feel bad for their husbands really

To the 18-21 year olds, if I could go back to that age, this is what I would have done knowing what I know now.
- Save every last disposable dollar I had, slurge only when needed (clothes).
- Never bought the nice car with the depreciating value, took forever to sell and it didn't really bring any added joy to my life.
- Would have learned a second language in college, several at that, it expands your horizons and opens up new opportunities.
- Never would have had a girlfriend beyond a 1 year relationship from the ages of 21-25.
- Would've gotten the absolute cheapest apartment I could find, maybe even rented a damn single room in someones house.
Why would I have done all of this? Because by the time I reach 35-40, I would have been able to retire in another country with all the money I've saved. I would have been able to work a part time job in any number of "paradise" beach locations and simply live out the rest of my life however I wanted to. Whether that is Southeast Asia somewhere, or South America, I could have bought a condo or house outright.
Do you want to live to work, or do you want to simply live? Don't get caught up in the bullshyt material things, save your money, invest and stack as much money as you can so you don't have to work until you're 75 years old.
