I'm in my early 20s now :) Do you have any concrete tips/things you wished you did differently?

  re: investment, one reasonable place to start might be Bernstein's free ebook "if you can", which also has some pointers to further reading. some of the advice in there, re: tax-advantaged retirement savings plan, is specific to the USA http://efficientfrontier.com/ef/0adhoc/2books.htm http://efficientfrontier.com/ef/0adhoc/2books.htm

  Run numbers. Do simulations. Have a plan. I concentrated too much on minimizing long-term interest expense. I didn't think about how the money I was using to pay-down principal could have returned income over the long term. The real estate asset I was paying on hasn't appreciated at all in 20 years. I could have seen major investment returns on that money which would far exceed the interest expense I alleviated.
