Nah. Not that kind of Financial Advice that only works if you have a time-travel machine.
Also, that kind of advice is contradictory on itself. The markets create themselves and if a time traveler messed with them, the tops, the market caps, buy orders etc would be affected by your money, effectively modifying how any asset would behave if you were to put in millions into BTC back when it was worth ten bucks, you know what I mean?
I'm also not talking about the advice you find in those self-help style blog written by a woman in her 30's trying to sound quirky, and I'm definitely not talking about the advice given on Twitter by a 40yr old dude trying to build a following by being captain obvious; and yeah, this post is definitely not like every other article trying to clickbait people into clicking and just giving them basic shitty tips thought by a system sponsored or even worse, system brainwashed normie.
No no, this is the real deal, not a Miyazaki inspired post, but a street wise idea flush for you to sponge and hopefully, help increase the list in the comment section.
It's still the early 2000's, you wake up next to your girlfriend who is playing Nintendo 64
- Are you alright, babe? You were talking in your sleep, you were mumbling about some virtual currencies, vaccines and world war 3.
Oh shit, you are 16, not on your 30's, but somehow you remember all the experiences and learnings from those 20ish years you lived while dreaming.
What knowledge do you use to come out on top this time? You're 16 again with the experience and knowledge of a 30 something.
I'll start, you can continue in the comment section:
College is overrated, don't think for a second of getting a degree and pouring good money into a flawed system. That doesn't mean you should educate yourself. Learn by yourself, use every tool available and become even more prepared than the 99%, it should be easy as fuck considering how easy it will be to access information.
Investing is underrated and most people are afraid of it. Learn how to invest and do your own research. You don't need a broker and you don't need certifications, don't let the system fool you, this is a game everyone can play, they just don't want you playing it.
Don't get into stocks, they're rigged - like everything else, but stocks even more - get into new, anti system ideas as soon as you can. Know when that can is, don't rush, only get in once you have a steady, high enough income to have a life.
Get a job as soon as you are able to, even if it is illegal in your country or try to get side gigs from acquaintances. Learning about real money value early on gives you an edge most people won't learn until they are in their 20's.
Forget about video games. They suck up your life force and all of your time. If you spent learning a new trait or skill 10% of the time you spent playing video games, you would be a Chad Thundercock by 25. Don't waste your time consuming media.
Knowledge trumps qualification, you just have to be there to show you know so, fin a way to be there.
Don't waste money on dates during your 20's. Women are great but shouldn't be the focus of your spending. Either find a woman that wants to split the check or wants to spend time with you doing costless stuff, or don't date. Also don't waste money on presents - for people in general. They won't like the present and you would've spent valuable liquid in useless stuff.
You will spend an incredible amount of money in booze and cigarettes and eventually you will end up dropping them all. The experience that came with those is invaluable but, not worth it. Spend money on drink once a month, never get started on cigarettes.
Don't let anyone know you have money, it will eventually damage most of your relationships. That one is simple to understand.
Do you have anything to add?
Yeah yeah, maybe this is some basic normie shit, but I spent some time reading all these basic blogs and well, I'd like to think this post breaks the norm.
