EXHAUSTED but also wish I was smarter with my teenage money instead of blowing it on weed, accessories for my car, and name brand clothing.

The power of the dollar back then was amazing, I don't see half as many teens working bc what they make "isn't worth it" or something these days

Those things brought you joy at the time and your happiness was equally important.

Hard disagree. That's just promoting instant validation.

I spent all my 20s sewing patches into my jeans and using the library to answer emails. Now I have no debt and I'm about to buy a house worth 7 figures.

Choices matter. Sacrifice pays off.

I bought weed and own a 7 figure house too.
