Your parents advice is obsolete, they bought a house on one salary. You can't afford rent on two Different game, different rules 3. You'll watch people younger than you get rich From luck, timing, being early Don't let it mess with your head Your timeline isn't their timeline 4. You'll have friends who celebrate your failures and resent your wins. Cut them off Loneliness is better than poison 5. Take the risk that terrifies you, not the one thats "smart" Smart keeps you comfortable Terrified makes you rich or broke Either way you learn 6. Most of your 20s will be wrong cities, wrong jobs, wrong people. That's not failure That's the price of finding what's right 7.
