Twenty Two Lessons to Learn in Your Twenties

Your twenties are a decade to learn, grow, and make mistakes.  Below are the most important lessons

If you desperately need financial advice, there’s a good chance even the mention of money just caused you a minor heart attack. Even if you don’t desperately need financial advice, if you’re anything like me, there’s still a good chance your face is twitching because budgeting is always The Sucks. So before we begin, here’s some nice music, photos of beaches, and encouraging advice: Calm down, captain. YOU GOT THIS. Now. It’s business time. While I ain’t no Warren Buffett, I’d like to think I have some experience with savingRead More
It’s not easy finding a suitable guy these days, and maybe that’s because, as a guy, it’s hard to meet the standards set forth by Disney shorts, romantic comedies and any Matthew McConaughey/Ryan Reynolds/Ryan Gosling fantasy film that girls so adore. It seems that weighed against reality, meeting the “right” guy would be pretty hard for any girl. Here’s why: To fit the standard, a guy must meet the following criteria: a. He should be stable, hard-working and well-paid.      b. He should be spontaneous. c. He must makeRead More

#1 – Finding/Gathering all your Belongings If this one night stand happened due to a case of the blackouts, it is likely that your stuff is all over the place. It’s weird enough waking up in a place you barely remember coming back to, so the anxiety attack that you’ve lost all your things sets in quickly. Just get dressed, and begin to roam around the apartment until you stumble upon your wallet and phone. If your stuff isn’t there, then you are just shit out of luck. Call theRead More
1. You’ll learn to erase the word “embarrassment” from your vocabulary. Greatness and embarrassment are closely connected. If you aren’t willing to be vulnerable and take risks, you’ll never meet your full potential.   2. You’ll discover your non-negotiables.  We’ve all grown up being told that acting selfishly is not okay, but when it comes to your personal and professional life, sometimes it is. Each of us will learn that there are certain things that we just aren’t willing to put up with. And that’s fine. Realizing your non-negotiables willRead More

Think you know what will make you happy?  Science says you’re probably wrong.  The good news is you only have to be correct enough.   As Americans, we swarm for the latest mobile devices, new cars make us feel like new people, and the clothing sales ensure that we look like our friends.  Humans are pretty bad at determining what will give them lasting happiness or contentment, and because of this, there’s big business in cars, electronics, and jewelry.  There’s also big business in debt reduction, payday loans, gym memberships,Read More
