    The world is waaay dummer and less fair than you think so don’t stress about things too much cause it’s rigged anyway.

    Having said that, persistence does eventually get you there

    Girls want to date / fuck just as much as you do… So be cool, just chill… Work on your self, be the best version of you that you can be… Work on your communication, be upfront honest and forthcoming.

    You’ll be fine.

    Stop looking for love and learn to love yourself. You are at your best when you are alone and not torn between introversion and tending to a relationship. It’s one or the other and you always default to the former. Always has been.

    You know how you think George W. Bush is the worst president we’ve ever had or ever will have? Well in 2017 you’re going to wish he was in office. Also, go to school in a foreign country so you can be a permanent resident there.

    Take that money you were saving for university and buy Apple stock. Still move to the university town and hang out on campus, but skip the tuition fees and going to class; spend the time while others are in class working for a few years and putting more money into Apple stock.

    Cash out some of that money a few years later and use it for a cheap bachelor’s degree; leverage that to get into the field you want to be in.

    Then later, cash out some more to buy property… say, around 2008. But keep feeding more money in.

    Stop chasing exes through your 20s. Especially the one from a different country. Even if it didn’t crash and burn it never would have worked anyway just due to immigration

    Ignore the financial “advice” of your parents, they’re retiring and still in debt. Real estate, and stock market. Those prices only go up over time, and although it may be difficult in the short term, long term you’ll thank yourself.

    Also college is a waste, don’t do it.

    When you were thinking about buying $100 of Bitcoin when they were $0.20 a piece, fucking do it, then sit on it for a decade.

    I seriously thought about it, and talked myself out of it because it sounded like a good way to lose $100 and it would probably only lose value anyway.

    It would be worth $50 million today.

    The best time to get into crypto was at the very beginning, it’s not even worth gambling with now.

      That’s what they said 5 years ago and bitcoin has doubled in value since then.

    Invest in Google. Buy an island. Install automated turrets. Don’t worry about saving for retirement, cause it won’t matter when society collapses.
