Either "Learn from the mistakes of those around you" or "Round up on money you spend and round down on money you earn."

Having fun does not have to cost a lot of money.

Marry someone who makes you a better person.

Pick fields that you really want to work in, because there's nothing more miserable than doing something you hate. Even if it means a lower salary...

... because wealth doesn't need to come from salary, it can come from early investments. This happened to us, and it's the only reason we have the lifestyle we have.

Say “I love you” more than you say anything else.

Start saving early, invest smartly and you will be very happy in 20 years.

Be kind. You never know what is going on in someone else’s life.

Stay off the internet and stay off of social media.

I told my kids: Always listen to your gut, no matter who doesn't like it. Your gut knows what you should do. Other people are not living your life.

I can't choose between these two:

1) notice

Thanks for this thought-provoking question, OP. You have restored my faith in DCUM.

small steps add up over time

If you coupd share only one nugget of wisdom with your adult child, which one would you give?
