Best piece of advice you wish you'd got? But had to learn yourself instead.

The value of interest at a much younger age. It would have worked well for me until the last decade. What banks give in savings interest now is a laughable joke.
I'm retired and renting now so I just have memories of better economic times and it wasn't when most people think. Housing prices are out of sight now while mortgage rates are what I consider tolerable. I bought my first house when rates were 8% but housing was easily affordable to many and banks were paying 5.5-6% savings interest.
Financially these days are a disaster.

When you choose your mate you have to look at the entire family. See how they were raised, how they were treated, how they treat others. How they live etc.. Be friends 1st, get to know a person , never rush it, and most importantly the apple doesn't always fall far from the tree, if his or her parents were desdbeats then 9 times out of 10 and im not saying always, but theres a chance that they will be one too because its how they were raised.
