If I were to go back and tell my 18 YO self financial advice it would be identical to what my dad told me back then. I didn't listen to him back then and as such, probably wouldn't to my own advice.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Aim for the spinning wreckage it will be clear by the time you get there.

Trust your gut.

When the hair on your neck stands up take a solid look at the situation before you.

Don't camp out too long for women you will be disappointed with the outcome.

The mountains can kill you.

I did listen about the other stuff like real estate and saving your money.

Sell my dot com stocks and put them in real estate before the big crash. Buy real estate sooner and buy serious wood working mfg equip sooner, beg, borrow, and steal the money if I had to to buy them. Dicked around for too long doing high end custom work (instead of semi custom production work). Oh well, only if I had more money at the time.

Buy a couple old Porsches, stick 'em in storage somewhere, and there's your 401K account.

This. Especially the part about Student loans, it's amazing how much they look like "free money" until you have to start paying on them.

And this. Too many friends wasted 4 years going to college "because that's what people do after high school", with no idea what they wanted to do. Then went back and paid to do it all over again once they figured life out.
