Your body will move to middle age when you're about 31, 32.

There's a lot of things you can only do when you're physically young.

Get them done now, while you can, because it will go away.

yawpitch•2h ago
You know, there was a time I’d have agreed with this, but yesterday at nearly 51 I walked up the emergency stairs of the UK’s 2nd tallest building 5 times, passing people well under half my age each time… never could have done that when I was physically young.

If you don’t completely destroy the joints, heart, kidney, liver, and lungs when your mind is young and stupid the much wiser and (hopefully) smarter mind you’ll earn can push the slightly more knackered bits further and faster then you’d earlier have thought you could go.

skx001•2h ago
I feel this so much. I want to pack everything possible in my 20s because I know there are certain things that I just would not be able to do later on.
sejje•2h ago
For me it was about 39, 40. And even that I believe is due to my neglect. No more coasting.
yawpitch•2h ago
Travel. See the world. Meet people where they live. Invest in learning how to be uncomfortable. And never, ever, ever, EVER drop a coin into an elephant’s nostril.
skx001•2h ago
Yep, really looking forward to travelling more. I am now really intrigued by what would happen if I drop a coin into an elephant’s nostril though....
yawpitch•2h ago
A concussion. A very bad concussion. A probably not-survivable concussion.

If you live, you just might learn that Lord Ganesha can really sock some sense into you.

And cents as well, if you’ve really pissed her off.

Single most important lesson of my life: elephants are not vending machines.

sarimkx•2h ago
I am in my early 20s too so can't provide the depth you're probably looking for but here is what I know so far:

Move to a country/location/environment where you can actually achieve your goals/dreams ASAP. Location is the number 1 determining factor imo. This is step zero, nothing happens without this.

Build a lean, aesthetic physique (assuming you're a guy). Workout and stay healthy.

Get skills ASAP. Stack as many real tangible skills as you can. Skills will pay your bills and will be the foundation of your career.

skx001•2h ago
Thanks for your comment, really insightful and practical. Hard agree on moving and stacking skills!

Congratulations on your life awareness at age 25! Good luck!

If you have not already done this, in addition to maxing out your 401(k), start a Roth IRA and max it out every single year. I regret not doing this.

Compound interest is everything for most regular people to build net worth. Compound debt is the worst.

As the saying goes, there will be friends for a reason, friends for a season, and friends for a lifetime. Friendships will run their natural course. That being said, do your best to maintain friendships you want to try to keep as you get older.

Don't get stuck in the friend zone. Be bold and ask that person out umambigously.

As many dentists say, floss the teeth that you want to keep. I recommend flossing then Water Pik then brushing with a mechanical toothbrush like an Oral-B.

If you don't know, learn how to cook. There are so many resources out there. While not knowing how to cook might be cute or excusable by a potential partner in your 20s, by your 30s or 40s it is no longer funny and definitely a liability.

Don't sit all day. Even standing desks aren't enough. Do some light calisthenics every hour. Push-ups, wall-sits, squats, knee bends.

Make the time to see friends in-person. We are all hardwired to crave IRL social interaction, even the most introverted of us.

You might want to skim Sahil Bloom's book. While it might not the best at being actionable, it might make you think about the next 25 years in better context.

Don't give other people advice. They probably don't want it. They don't want you to fix their problems. Shut up and listen instead.

> As the saying goes, there will be friends for a reason, friends for a season, and friends for a lifetime. Friendships will run their natural course. That being said, do your best to maintain friendships you want to try to keep as you get older.

I am at point right now where this statement definitely rings true. My generation as a whole is struggling with friendships.

Take care of your mental health proactively. Do not let depression run unchecked, or it will end up robbing you of everything you hold dear before you realize it.
skx001•2h ago
I overlooked this at first (like most people) but now I am more in tune with my mental health.
ben_w•2h ago
Some people in power will tell you they welcome and encourage critical feedback. They won't really, but they're nevertheless better to work for than the opposite.

Every government is bad at it, it's just to varying degrees.

Be willing and able to move country will open opportunities; learn one second language to business level that will enable more opportunities.

The Sam Vimes theory of socioeconomic unfairness is real and important; have a lifestyle such that you build up a savings pile sufficient that you can afford to spend less: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boots_theory

My only two advice:

    while (alive)
    {
        If (You are truly passionate about some hobbies or career paths)
        {
            do_not_marry_and_especially_don't_get_kid();
        }
        else
        {
            focus_on_making_as_much_$$$_as_possible();
        }
    }
andyjohnson0•1h ago
You forgot the call to dieAnyway() immediately after the while loop. Focussing on hobbies or money making will not save you.
skx001•56m ago
IDK about this one tbh. I am passionate about many things but I also want to get married and have a family soon. Could you perhaps unpack this please?

As far as stacking cash is concerned, I totally agree!

sejje•1h ago
I think my best single bit of advice is: think it through.

Decide why you're doing things. You'll be able to pull off things you never expected, with a some deep thought and a good plan. Plan your career, your finances. If it's your thing, plan what kind of person you'll meet and share a life with. Plan to maintenance your relationships.

Plan for problems, and disasters, because you will have many. Friends will die, plans will fail, money will be lost. A little planning will help you survive those storms.

Take pictures of yourself and what you're doing. I wish I had more.

Don't discount how hard it can be to make friends in your thirties and beyond.
