20 years ago - Advice to your younger self

[5MilesBack]

Offering myself advice for 20 years ago would be like offering myself advice for yesterday. I can remember entire days from 20+ years ago, from start to finish.......like they were yesterday. I don't think I'd change much from 20 years ago, but knowing the best exact buy and sell points in the market the last 20 years would have been nice.

Punch that sucker in the mouth instead of trying to talk your way out of bad situations.

Buy that land on the outskirts of Bozeman and just wait.

Don’t waste your life chasing baseball, move NW and be close to things you love.

Don’t get too involved in the dealings of adults, there is probably more to it than a 13 year old understands.

Love your family no matter what. You will regret it for the rest of your life if you waste time being a shitty teenager.

Dog training is a real job might as well be happy if your going to be broke any way

Go hunt more with the ole man. Since he's been gone 4 years now, I'd give anything for the passed opportunities I took to hunt with friends.

Couple more for me:

Start going to the gym when you’re young and your metabolism is awesome

Start buying points anywhere and everywhere you can

Don’t hit that jump on your dirt bike and goof up your knees

Go look for deer and elk sheds in more places. I hate to think of what I would have found

Dont buy that expensive house in the country club. Don't ask that good looking high maintenance chick from the office out. Buy that small place on that saltwater canal. Don't buy 16 production rifles buy 4 really great ones.

 

[Yoder]

Never get married, wear a condom at all times and buy a different house.

 

[Laramie]

Wouldn't change anything so my advice would be to enjoy the ride because it going to be awesome.

 

[Doc Holliday]

Don't drink the Kool-aid that working for corporations and companies should be your life's pursuit in making a living.

- Time is far more valuable than money.
- Don't worry about what other people think of your occupation.
- Move out west and do the things that make you happy.

Applies then as well as it applies now. Moments mean more than possessions. Do more, buy less.

 

[Dos Perros]

Go ahead and have a threesome bud.

From a greedy standpoint, I would beg, borrow, steal, max out the credit cards, and mortgage the farm/house/vehicles/realty, etc. to put everything into Apple stock.

Apple stock price - 8/13/03 was $0.3058 per share.
Apple stock price - 8/17/23 was $174.23 per share.

 

[Weldor]

Talk less, listen more.

Right on!

I have been retired from my long term job for 11 years so 20 years doesn't do much. I am located where I always wanted to be. So...

Have a short term plan and a long term plan. Adjust as life progresses. Don't get yourself financially in deeper than what is reasonable. Keep your housing affordable with the ability to expand as is needed and affordable.

Spend 15-20% of your hunting season exploring new ground to give you cushion for things that will happen.

Select a wife that will act as a partner in life with common interests, goals and expectations. You are entitled to a good wife, dog and horse once in your life. Choose wisely.

Stay flexible and adapt. Keep learning. You only need one or two friends you can depend on. Don't spread yourself too thin.

wear a condom at all times

Even while your hunting?

Bro, Britney isn't worth the angst or effort.
