Things People Over 50 Wish They’d Done Differently At 25
Save more money. Retirement is no joke, as you’ll learn by 50. As you stare at the poor reality of your retirement, you might find yourself counting every penny you wasted on worthless things. So pack your lunch, find street parking or take the bus.1.
Travel more. You’re only young once. So before you get tied down by responsibilities of a spouse (配偶)and kids, it’s a good idea to explore the world and all it has to offer. Consider working abroad.2.Just go somewhere that will make you look up and around rather than down at your smart phone.
Slow down. Too many of us waste precious moments because we’re too busy connecting to our digital products or on social media. Life is short. Enjoy it. We think a reader put it perfectly: “I would
not have been so busy to be successful and work 80 hours a week.3.I would have defined myself by more than what I did for a living.”
4.As the saying goes, nobody can take your accomplishments away from you. Education is one of those accomplishments. Many readers wished they would have either gone to college. Whether it’s bad to land you the career of your dreams, or to meet people from different walks of life or to learn to see things a little differently, education is always a good choice.
5.By 25 you might have noticed your metabolism(新陈代谢)slowing down. Looking after yourself at this time is about creating habits (and breaking bad ones) that will lead to a long life in which you’re healthy enough to do everything you want to do.
A. Get a better education.
B. Consider your health.
C. I would have enjoyed my life slowly.
D. Visit the city you dream about all day.
E. Focus on trying to build a good credit history.
F. Remember that a penny saved is a penny earned.
G. So never be afraid to stand up for yourself and speak your mind.
