Exactly the same thing. When I started working I took out credit cards, store cards, a car loan, a personal loan, I just managed to become debt free last year after almost 10 years of struggling by.

I still am, but in a few months i'll be a sight better off, hard isn't it?

That I will get old before I know it.

Just because they're dead, still doesn't make its legal.

Yup, easy to get into, nightmare to get out. The Mrs. is expecting our second in August, lets hope it's another girl so we can reuse stuff, if not then another loan may be required

To go to university to avoid having to get back into education later.

Aside from lottery numbers, I'd need to give myself some job interview advice. My first job interview was at a company I really wanted to work for, but being my first interview, I failed to get it. I am quite sure my life would have a lot more direction and be a lot better overall if I had got it.

To not bother, it doesn't get any better.

Where do I start?

- Try harder at school
- Buy that house up the road
- Don't worry what people think of you, they probably aren't anyway
- Save a set amount each month, every month, without fail

this x100000!

I would probably tell myself to go crazy once in a while, I was far too good when I was younger

Don't mess around getting old £2000 cars fixed all the time. Just buy a new car. It's cheaper. It looks nicer. It's less hassle, in fact, it's no hassle.

Don't feel bad about seeing an 18 year old girl when you're about 26. By the time you're 43 and they're 35 (-8 years) and not 51 (+8 years) you will be glad.

Lose weight. I waited till I was 20 and was a very big girl before that (lost around 4.5 stone). Wish I'd done it when I was 16, or even before then - eaten more healthily and done more exercise. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be at all and I feel great these days

I'd say:

EAT SOME DAMN FOOD!

Don't sign up to OcUK...wasted far too many hours on this forum.

Hit on your sister, given a few decades she'll get over it

Mat · 7 Jun 2011 at 22:03

"Mat, enjoy it! It's a real roller-coaster at times but you'll be ok."

I'm waiting for my future self to send me something back to confirm that this remains the case!

jaybee · 7 Jun 2011 at 22:05

I think mine can be summarised as....Don't worry. I used to worry too much about...everything as a kid/teen/growing up. I'd tell myself to enjoy life to the max whenever the opportunity occurs and to have more confidence. To go with the flow more and let go....enjoy the ride.
