If you were to go back in your 20s, what financial advice would you give yourself?

[Brookswood]

Make more money. Then marry a gal who makes more money than you do.

And do you think money is the root of happiness? I am figuring out what to say to my grandsons about money.

I would tell myself that money is just a tool, not the end all and be all of life. I would say work hard, save for a rainy day, and give generously to people who are less well off than yourself.

Financial advice? Just following all the youtuber financial advise: dollar cost average, and start early in life.

 

[Disgustedman]

Invest $25-$50 every paycheck in a fund, buy silver bullion (It was $2-$6 per troy ounce) when you can, DON'T gamble..

Money was the last thing on my mind when I was in my 20's. I had met the man of my dreams and neither of us had much money. It would have been nice if we had plenty, but then we might not have tried to work as hard trying to survive. They say always have enough to get by on and that's what we did. I had $76.00 and he had a bit more, but we did survive, and I can honestly say those were the happiest days of our lives. This was in 1966, and times were tough for most young people.
