[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3639523, member: 5412"] Wish I'd been more into stocks when younger like some said, but in those days prior internet, traders took your money and put it into funds that benefitted them. Later when day trading was a big thing, that wish became true making good trades on my own. Decided to not play football as a kid or any other sport other than baseball and motocross which should have caused bad knees, but never did. At our latest class reunion, all the big sports jocks were in walkers or crutches and could barely walk. Listened to my parents to save money and not spend it on foolish things. My sister didn't. She is just maintaining. Probably the second best thing that ever happened to me as a teen was to get a draft notice into the military, taking the unopened letter to the recruiter to sign up for three years and gain a technical MOS that served me well over the rest of my civilian career until retirement. I think the number 1 best decision ever made was to not partake in the drug life. I've passed many joints down the line at concerts, and so on, but have never taken a single illegal drug in my life. I don't care what you participate in, that's your business. It's not my concern. I have lots of friends in their 60's that are still using it, some abusing it, but that is their decision, not my concern. Yeah, there were some dumb decisions as well. We all made them, but that's life. [/QUOTE]
