Things I did right: * Tell the girl I had a longtime crush on that I was still into her. (Got rejected, then after a bit we dated, now we are married with a kid). * Hangouts with friends playing D&D. * Hangouts with friends sipping whiskey and talking about life and the world. * Meaningful conversations with people I admired. * Traveling Europe/Asia with my girlfriend. Things I would do differently: * Watch less TV/movies. * Drink less at bars * Spend less time arguing with stupid people on the internet * I should have looked for a well paying job sooner. If i'm not going to love my job, I might as well maximize my returns. I saved a decent amount but I probably could have been making an extra 30k a year 5-10 years earlier. Investing half of that would have meant even more financial security now.
