Make more money. Then marry a gal who makes more money than you do.
If you were to go back in your 20s, what financial advice would you give yourself?

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.

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.

God read my post and today sent me a man who needed my help. I had forgotten what I had written but proud to say that I responded to his need. God has no need of money, but we humans think it is everything we need. What we really need is love and compassion for the stranger in need.
It is said that when we pray for people, generally or individually, we must try to be part of the answer.

Before I went back, I'd look through all the records through all the years of lottery winning numbers and the winning lines of pools coupons, then I'd set up an organisation to buy the tickets and put all the winnings into a trust fund to gift the NHS so that it would deliver more for everyone.
