Life advice no.1: don't do drugs. You don't seem to respond well to them. (also stay away from the medicine cabinet)

Life advice no.2: learn how to ask questions.

this is huge.

never stop asking question, even if the question is stupid, if you dont know the answer, then ask.

 

it doesnt matter where you are, or how old you are. it will always look better if you ask, rather than try and end up fucking up cuz you were scared to ask

Not sure how that has to do with your being 14 years old but...honestly nothing. Not that every thing in my life has gone perfectly, but it isn't worth dwelling on it. It has past and there's nothing I can do now that will change the lasting effects or the immediate outcome.

do not commit your time to one employer. instead of working overtime it is better to have two jobs because companies collapse. industries collapse. we are in a period of change. not all people in leadership positions are there on merit and if they cant hustle or create a productive environment they will put you in the poor house.

Remember that what you did in the past defines who you are today. Make the most of your time now since you can't take it back later.

Try not to focus on memorizing things and instead focus on understanding them.

Pay a little less each month to 'afford it' better into your monthly budget and it costs you hundreds or THOUSANDS of dollars in the long run! BWA HA HA HA HA!

I should certainly listen to your advice. I'm going to enter college next year.

Wrap it before you tap it.

You may not need it just yet but you'll need it eventually.

Student loans can be a very necessary thing, but you should try and pay them aggressively as possible.  My loans initially wanted a 9.5 year repayment term so the monthly payments would have been low but it'd have been on my back for a decade and cost a lot in interest (And Canadian student loans get some of the lowest interest rates) but when I've worked overitme, I've made extra payments.  When I got tax returns, I made extra payments.  When I got raises I increased the normal monthly payment size.  My loans will be paid off Nov 1st which will be less than 3 years total spent repaying.  I've saved myself thousands of dollars in interest.

[Judd]

Thanks all of you, I'm doing the compound interest thing with my stocks but I haven't thought about it the opposite way where it can be very bad. Thank you so much. And I actually listen to advice given to me.
