cashmoneylife discovered 5 months ago- Great list of life lessons everyone should know and incorporate - regardless of age or career path.

- Ron put together a very nice list of important lessons that many of us could learn from (even if we're not 22).

- Great site to share with the 18 and up set. Some good insights from Ron's blog. Print it and keep it in your file. Pass it on.

- OK this list is plenty of 2+2 = 4 with lots of assocaited implied orwellian 2 + 2 = 5. Its worth skimming this page just for the valueable nuggets of 2 + 2 = 4.
Most of you wont have the first idea what I am going on about. Essentially, the govt wants you to have technical brilliance to be able to serve it. (2 + 2 = 4) The gov't also wants you to have masses of economic and political delusions (2 + 2 = 5 eg the US has elections, US media is free, 9/11 was Arabs, Saddam has WMD etc.etc.), so you don't question WHY you are serving it and subsequently correctly decide not to.
But most of you have plenty of technical knowledge. Its the economic and political where you most of you are ignorant, and it takes a lot of processing to keep you that way. Point number 12 may help you escape.
From the page: "9. Make sure your spouseâ€s values line up with your own. This one step can single handedly determine your level of happiness more than just about any other. Scary isnâ€t it? If everything seems so right, yet he or she thinks credit should be used at will (and you donâ€t) or thinks that home schooled kids are strange (and you want your children to be home schooled), you are setting yourself up for heartbreak. Work these things out before you say â€oeI do.” They say love is grand . . . and divorce is 50 grand. The lesson learned: talk to your spouse or potential spouse about what is important to you and the values you think should be taught to your children, even if you donâ€t plan on having children." - OK this list is plenty of 2+2 = 4 with lots of assocaited implied orwellian 2 + 2 = 5. Its worth skimming this page just for the valueable nuggets of 2 + 2 = 4.

- I'm still gonna argue about the school. My personal (and maybe completely isolated) experience has been that the degree is worthless. It has gotten me nowhere nowhere nowhere. I've actually gone onto law school, and it's looking more and more like the path to a soul-sucking meaningless job itself and all that tied to an insane debt load that I won't be able to pay off until I retire. Sometimes living within your means is not going past 12th grade. College is sometimes a luxury- an opportunity to waste 4+ years- that some of us should not have been afforded. A generic Bachelor's Degree, which most of us get (liberal arts, business, social science, english...) won't necessarily make up for those lost 4 years. That is certainly NOT to say don't go, just don't be another 17-year-old me believing that you are following a guaranteed course. You almost absolutely will be disappointed. Please go because you really want to or because you are dead set on a career where you have to.

- Good advice from a 42 year old about things he wished he knew when he was 22.
