Wholesome Advice for People In Their 20s


Unless your an unmovable cynic or a mayfly, you probably want to have a long and healthy life. So basically the gist is save some money, exercise, take care of your friends and teeth, but also don't stress out about it too much. For some pieces of advice that don't take decades to pay off, here are some life pro tips. For a wholesome tale about life and relationships, here's a story about a grandpa who hated banana bread but ate it for years out of love.

Text - EvenCaramel 4.5k points · 3 days ago When I was in college, I had the chance to go to Europe but I passed because I had to work at a warehouse. I picked staying at a part time warehouse job over seeing the world. When I finally went abroad in my 30s, it changed my perspective about everything and everyone. Go to another country that is far away and different than your own.

Your relationships will have problems, your car will break down, someone else will anyways have a better phone, a newer car, or a bigger house than you, no matter where on the social ladder you stand. Constantly chasing perfection will keep you permanently stressed. That doesn't mean you should not try t

I never found a real job using my first degree or my masters. Part of it was because I was always drunk, part of it was the job market at the time. I went back to school in my thirties and found something I like a whole lot more. Now, I'm married, nearly ten years sober, and have a great job. My point is, if you end up on the wrong path or don't like w

Text - Thirty_Helens_Agree 28.0k points · 4 days ago Take care of your teeth. This is the only set you're ever going to have and you don't want to neglect them and mess them up like I did. I've got crap tons of fillings which don't last forever and need replacement. A filling isn't as good as the real thing and filled teeth can break, requiring crowns. I have two and it sucks. Brush and floss thoroughly every single day without exception. Hell, get an electric toothbrush. See the dentist regular

Text - MayUrBladesNVRdull 22.7k points · 4 days ago 2 It's not a race! Stop comparing yourself to others. Just because they did things sooner than you, doesn't mean they're happier or better. Try to start good habits. It is a little rough at first, but in a few years it will be second nature. Do this with things like cooking, cleaning, saving money and self-care. It is okay to not like someone. It is also okay to have someone not like you (people are going to not like you for no reason. That is

Text - chad303 18.2k points · 3 days ago O 2 & 15 More When I was 22, an older gentleman asked me how old I was and then told me, “chad303, when you are twice that age, you'll be twice the man you are today." I almost considered it a slight in that moment, but time has proven him wise. Here I am, twice that age and, in my humble estimation, twice the man than I was then. I believe this chiefly because I have learned that kindness is not a weakness, humility serves you better than pride, and crue

Text - RmeMSG 17.4k points · 4 days ago 2 2 3 Don't put yourself in ridiculous amounts of debt trying to portray a certain image. You'll spend your entire life trying to get out of the hole you dug or you'll have to declare bankruptcy. Set aside enough money to cover 3-6 months of expenses for emergencies just like now. Moreover, save now for your retirement years. It doesn't require much and if you have it taken directly from your paycheck you won't be inclined to not pay yourself first. Take c

Text - purplelicious 10.4k points · 3 days ago · edited 2 days ago & 4 More It's never too late to start again. All in my 20's I thought I couldn't just restart my career or dump a useless boyfriend or go back to school because I was already on a certain trajectory. Made my choices now I gotta make the best of it. That's total bullshit. You have no idea how incredibly young you are and how much time you have to do whatever you want to do. When I figured this out, I found the man of my dreams, ha

Text - Unapologetically_Z 9.1k points · 4 days ago Go have an adventure of a life time. Don't put it off. Make plans for your money. STAY OUT OF DEBT. You dont need that new car, watch, handbag etc. Material items are not worth your sanity. Have a 3-6 month emergency fund. Don't waste time on anyone who disrespects you. Have a back bone but don't be rude. Not everything needs your reaction. Find someone who you can spend endless time with. Talk about ideas not people. Above all fu*k what anyone

Text - JayParty 8.8k points · 3 days ago & 10 More Don't fall for the trap that your life needs to be one long narrative that you should be building. Life is best when it's a bunch of happy moments that just happen to be connected. Don't try to make your life into a novel, make it a book of poems.

Text - SharCooterie 7.7k points · 3 days ago · edited 3 days ago & 9 More I'm 46, and here's what I know: 1. money is important but it's not the end all be all. It will not listen to your problems or hug you when you need it 2. Watch your weight, your blood pressure, and do not smoke. 75% of my patients that have the most serious diagnoses have at least one of these factors. 3. Comparison will rob you of joy. Be happy for others, but don't feel you need to be like them. 4. Let go of the little t

Text - agreeingstorm9 6.0k points · 4 days ago 4 I'm nearly 40 and not very happy with my life. My advice for people in their 20s would be to focus on the important stuff. That's where I failed. Don't put off life. That's where I also failed. I focused on building a solid financial base and saving a ton of money. Here I am at 40 and I'm financially secure probably for life. If I lost my job I could flip burgers and live the same lifestyle I've been living. But I also have no one in life. If I wa
