Ask HN: What is something that needs to be done if you were of my age(22)?

4 pointsby big_Brain69over 1 year ago
Given that the HN community is so huge and diverse, which is one of the best parts of it, you get to know about a range of perspectives on a spectrum.<p>My age is 22, and I am learning, discovering, writing, reading, listening, and observing. You, my friend, on the other hand, might be reaching close to the end of your age and ability spectrum. You can&#x27;t do everything in this lifetime, so I ask, &quot;What is something that needs to be done given that if you were my age right now?&quot;.<p>I ask because you have seen more of the world than me, met more people, gained more experience, &amp; in the end contributed more to society. I look forward to knowing your answer so that the younger generation can actually take this forward.

Start investing for retirement and long-term care. The best time to start is yesterday, compound interest is a beautiful thing.

Do things you love or pay well enough to do more of the things you love sooner.

lol I&#x27;m not at the point you&#x27;re talking about, but just work on something you like. If I could tell my 22-year-old self some unsolicited advice, it would be to not focus on &quot;making it&quot; but instead make things you want to see in the world.<p>I was doing that anyways but it would&#x27;ve been nice to hear.
