Times have changed a lot since we graduated from high school or college. We have experienced many ups and downs in life and observed what works and what doesn’t. Some financial and life lessons we learned are still valuable to the next generation.
Let us share it here!

Fully fund your Roth IRA. VTI will do just fine.
Character and integrity matter. Period.
I believe choosing your spouse is the one, single-most important decision of your life…most important family decision…most important emotional/psychological decision…and most important financial decision.
Life-long learning is a must… Library cards are free. Youtube is free. Podcasts are free. The internet is 99.9% free. Never stop.
Hopes and Dreams are great, but until they are turned into Goals, with detailed plans and all the necessary hard work and persistence, they will never be realized.
Good grades and saving money just gives you more choices…and that beats few or no choices…And the earlier you start either, the longer you’ll have those choices.
Forgiving is what you do for your own wellbeing…But just because you forgive the dog that bit you, doesn’t mean you try to pet him again.
Sunsets are as beautiful as sunrises and you don’t have to get out of bed as early to see them.
When in doubt, give.
Great list. Wish I had this when I graduated!

It’s a broad generalization but there are some underlying truths to this jingle that I heard many years ago… In your teens, play all you can, in your 20’s take all the risks that you can, in your 30’s learn all you can, in your 40’s earn all you can, in your 50’s teach all you can, and in your 60’s retire as gracefully as you can.
