- Never throwing caution to the wind and spending a week/month/year/decade doing interesting stuff. I've always chosen the safe, remunerative, societally-approved route. Have to say I am beginning to think I missed out for good.
Brewer, I couldn't agree more.
I started saving for retirement when I was in my early teens. Started researching stocks when I was 12, I started working when I was 12 (because I wanted to, not by my parents choice)
I worked every break, summer, etc. I graduated college on a Saturday and started work on Monday morning. I have not taken more than 8 days off in 9 years.
Now as my 20's come to an end, I'm married, have a new house, and feel like I really missed out on my 20's.
