    Adding to this:

    Save as much as you can. One day, you’ll need it.

    Take care of your teeth. It’s the only set you get, and it sucks when you start having problem.

    Drink water. Lots. You do not want to experience a kidney stone.

      Save as much as you can… but don’t skimp out on quality of life.

      Too many people I’ve see pinch pennies to save only to end up dead or in a place that couldn’t enjoy it. Make sure to take time out for yourself while you can before it’s too late

      Basically mine would be “all things in moderation”

        Obviously, making time for yourself is a good thing. If you’re miserable, there isn’t much point!

        I guess this is more a consequence of my living in a very consumer-oriented society that the importance of saving is so prevalent. Plenty of fun can be had for little to no money.

      Take care of your back and knees too. You really don’t want to fuck those up because they will be lifelong pain if you do.
