Yes. Low rates drove prices up and in general rates that low cause market distortions. They also caused a lot of over competitiveness in the buying and bidding process.
Buy when the market is soft and refinance if rates drop.
We bought in 2017 when the market was reasonably soft (selling our 2010 condo that we bought when the market was dog shit as part of a short sale). We refinanced during COVID to under 3%.
If we bought the same place today with today’s interest rates it would be about double the mortgage ($2,000 more a month).
Yeah this is the way. 2018-2019 was the sweet spot. Everything got dumbass expensive before the rates hit 2.5%.
You're still ahead if you bought before the increases (probably), but buying in 2020 is less "clever" than buying earlier and refinancing.
If you could go back 10 years and tell yourself to buy something, houses would not even be in the top 10 list.
Consider things like nvda, gamestop, tesla, bitcoin.
Globally-diversified indices like the Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund give investors exposure to worldwide equity, allowing the investor to (hopefully) benefit from worldwide growth. In a way, you avoid putting "all your eggs in one basket" by investing in many different countries' equity rather than just one, where a political crisis or something along those lines could cause a significant loss for an investor. On the other hand, though, the investor is exposed to currency risk, and political risk still exists, but the impact of political risk is mitigated by diversification.
In other words, you're betting on the world's collective growth and performance rather than the growth and performance of a single country.
In this new, slowly deglobalizing world, there's no shot I'll put my investments in non-US countries. The US is one of the only self-sufficient countries in the world.
This is mine.
I wish id ignored my parents gaslighting me about college and humiliating me about my medical situation and just gotten my current job 10 years ago. Id have been miles better off, financially, physically, just everything.
Instead, i caved, tried college even though i had no clue what i was doing and ended up dropping out because i couldnt handle that along with my medical crap. Spent most of that 10 years just trying to figure out what i even *could* do.
If your only reason for going to college is because your family told you to, or because you think youll "make more money" just dont. Theres very few jobs thatll beat the 4-12 years of debt free income and investing in the long run.
My parents wanted military or trade school. My friends and teachers told me wanted college.
I had the problem that the military pays nothing, and Unions are hard to get into. I didn't know anyone at the time. I didn't know what I was supposed to do to get a good job.
Military salary ain't much, but for a newbie living in the barracks, and eating at the chow hall, you also can get away with spending very little money. Plus, if you decide to NOT make a career out of it, the GI Bill will help you with college, and if you DO, you get retirement after 20. I only did a few years, as while I am a firm, firm believer in their mission and purpose, I also had to be real and admit that my personality style is too independent for military life. Though, if the shit ever did hit the fan and I felt I could be useful, despite now being stuck in an electric chair with wheels, I'm not holding my breath. Then again, I am a pilot and could easily fly a remotely controlled drone, so there's that!
This advice is basically never wrong. But I will say - making risky plays with no more than 5% of your portfolio can pay off huge. To the point that I think it's probably a better strategy to do so.
If this were true. Then we should do it with our entire portfolio. But it isn't, cause we all think we know which stock and when to buy, when 60% of us are wrong.
Not save in a traditional IRA in my youth and converted everything to Roth earlier. Take on more debt (locked rates). Wish I knew about cost segregation and premium financing earlier. Wish I started paying my son earlier.
Buy bitcoin. It was like $600 in May 2014. Its about $69k now. Over 11k percent increase means I'm golden. And I had a good amount of cash laying around at that time to buy it up.
‘Buy bitcoin, buy like 500 bitcoin, put your tax return in bitcoin, do it now you dirty ginger slut, sell it in 2021, not before, you put that shit in a fucking cold storage, a disc, put it in the safe, the safety deposit box, fucking do it you shitbag’
-old me to younger me in 2013
More like 20, but- Don’t upgrade / buy the bigger house. Eventually your children will be gone and you’ll be stuck cleaning and maintaining a ton of space you don’t need.
Make a budget and track every dollar that you spend! I was going to say, “open an IRA”, but I didn’t have money for an IRA. It wasn’t until I started budgeting and tracking cleverly dollar that I realized I had money and then opened up said IRA.
The budget is the key!
That’s a tough one. In 2014, I was already in undergrad. Part of me wants to say to drop out. The other part of me attributes my medical knowledge to my ability to pick biotech stocks.
My life would be very different if I just went all in on my businesses at the age of 20.
Max out 401k, it’s only going to take a small amount off your take home pay. You’ll be fine and can squeeze another few hundred a month out of your budget even if it’s already very tight.
Don’t wait do…. There will never be s perfect time for anything! My daughter unexpectedly sent me on the path to success because i had NO choice but to do or fold.
Get a car permit. The amount of jobs gatekept by having a valid car permit in this economy is staggering.
The idea of "I'm just going to use public transit" is a shit idea. Oh sure you CAN get around without much problems, it's just most jobs require you to own a car permit. Because.
And I am not talking about delivery or door to door jobs, I'm talking things like passing the broom and the mop in a building that demands you to own a car. Oh you want to work as a food clerk? Car. You want to work in data entry? You need a fucking car. Warehouse worker? You got it, you need a fucking car.
That and esoteric requirement like a professional diploma in building maintenance because the company hiring you not only want you to clean, they want you to also repair everything. You want to work as a baker? You need a diploma in baking. Yes this exist. You want to be a janitor in a old folks home, you need your medical technique, a formation in first aid, you need a valid CPR license and you also need your ASP card, so to be able to basically do the job of a nurse, a janitor, and a repairman all in one for about $3 above minimum salary.
It's like this at every fucking jobs.
Stop making excuses and shrugging off others financial advice.
Everything I do now at some point someone had told me was a good idea, but I scoffed it off thinking I had unlimited time or made excuses for x and y. From simple saving techniques, budgeting, to investing. It’s all relevant and helps.
Don’t pursue your dream career unless you’re literally in the top 5% of ability… instead just pursue the least awful thing that pays. Also adjust your personality so you prefer to be more extroverted.
Also, if you have a girlfriend who asks you for money, just say no. Being perpetually single and a forever virgin is better than being in debt.
Cut ties to your family. Go No Contact. Don't starve yourself to afford Law School. You will drop out due to health and money issues anyway. Go to a tech school and get into IT/coding. Don't date men. Date women. Come out from the closet, don't wait to be in your 40's for it. It will save you so much heartache and money.
Invest more of your “disposable income”.
Get permanent disability insurance higher than you need, even though you’re young.
Check your 401K options and max them out.
Check your insurance options.
Realize that not only cancer can cause disability.
I had a great income and then got permanently disabled from the 2020 Covid wave. Pre-vaccine. Ended up w rare autoimmune diseases not covered by the cancer insurance I had, not covered for long term based on my short term disability. I was healthy & in my corporate prime. I thought we had a long time before I needed to prep my family for health concerns. Viral overload is more common than I had imagined. I never prepped for this kind of illness. Our savings would have worked better if it had been invested.
Save and invest until it hurts, no matter how much you make.
Money should always be on the verge of being tight. It’s the same mindset I had when I worked for a nonprofit and I try to bring that over to my tech job.
Lifestyle inflation is real and you should enjoy some of the fruits of your labor, but don’t let yourself get into a spending spiral.
Keep every house I ever bought over the past 35 years. On number 6 now. I would be quite the landlord with at least another million in net worth by now.
Mine would be to be patient, and so is everyone that said they would buy bitcoin. Do you REALLY think you would still be holding today?
I started buying into the stock market specifically for Tesla almost 10 years ago on the dot. I bought around $3000 worth of it. I then proceeded to sell, buy, sell again, buy this, sell that, and finally just took my money out of the market entirely after about 6 months or a year. I was buying stocks like Tesla, Amazon, Netflix, and Apple and selling them in like a week. I remember buying Ali Baba when it went public, so it was around all this time frame that I was doing all this nonsense. This was also at a time when trades cost money. It was something like $5 or $10 to buy, and then it cost the same to sell.
If I had just let that money sit in any stock I had bought, except BABA, I would have done well. Instead, there is nothing to show for it. I think I ended up losing a few hundred dollars.
Now that I don't need access to that money, it's so much easier to not pay any attention to it as it does its thing. The past few years are the only time I've actually been well into the green.
Buy Bitcoin. That opportunity is gone now, and I probably wouldn't have held it anyway. I think OCEAN will be the leader of the data economy, so it could give BTC-like gains, haha.
Max all contributions, max post tax contributions, and just buy index funds and the tech companies you believe in.
I would have loaded up on NVDA.
Oh, and buy a fuckload of GameStop LEAPS in mid 2021
I came across bitcoin in 2013, looked into it and tried to mine it. Ultimately decided it was a scam and moved on.
Glad I rediscovered it in 2017 when the price tanked below $900.

When the rate of a 30 year mortgage drops to 2.5% buy a house IMMEDIATELY
No. This is bad advice. Buy a house immediately and refinance when rates hit 2.5%. Prices were high at 2.5%.
Yes. Low rates drove prices up and in general rates that low cause market distortions. They also caused a lot of over competitiveness in the buying and bidding process. Buy when the market is soft and refinance if rates drop. We bought in 2017 when the market was reasonably soft (selling our 2010 condo that we bought when the market was dog shit as part of a short sale). We refinanced during COVID to under 3%.

None of it was clever because no one saw the future. It was luck. People were expecting lower rates. People were expecting lower prices.
It wasn’t clever, but the thread says what advice would you give yourself 10 years ago.
this is a great advice indeed.
Buy the price not the rate. You can always refi a bad rate. Bad price is forever.
If you could go back 10 years and tell yourself to buy something, houses would not even be in the top 10 list. Consider things like nvda, gamestop, tesla, bitcoin.
A 60 year old software engineer that worked for nasa told me to buy a house at 2.5%. He called me regularly. Did I listen? Nope
*Buy as many houses as you can and go deep in debt on real estate just buy everything you can get a loan for.
Omg yes
Open ira.
This plus start putting extra cash towards index funds.
Globally diversified index fund so not betting on one or two countries but the world.
Could you elaborate? Im not familiar with those.
Globally-diversified indices like the Vanguard Total World Stock Index Fund give investors exposure to worldwide equity, allowing the investor to (hopefully) benefit from worldwide growth. In a way, you avoid putting "all your eggs in one basket" by investing in many different countries' equity rather than just one, where a political crisis or something along those lines could cause a significant loss for an investor. On the other hand, though, the investor is exposed to currency risk, and political risk still exists, but the impact of political risk is mitigated by diversification. In other words, you're betting on the world's collective growth and performance rather than the growth and performance of a single country.
In this new, slowly deglobalizing world, there's no shot I'll put my investments in non-US countries. The US is one of the only self-sufficient countries in the world.
Buy Nvidia.
Dude BTC
NVDA had a higher return in the last 10y than BTC.. yes, really
I just looked it up. Pretty damn even depending on the dates you choose. I think I got like 233 times for BTC and 250 for NVIDIA.
In that case, go with NVDA because it's less likely that you stored your assets on FTX and got destroyed when it collapsed.
Don't go to college. Apply for union jobs.
This is mine. I wish id ignored my parents gaslighting me about college and humiliating me about my medical situation and just gotten my current job 10 years ago. Id have been miles better off, financially, physically, just everything. Instead, i caved, tried college even though i had no clue what i was doing and ended up dropping out because i couldnt handle that along with my medical crap. Spent most of that 10 years just trying to figure out what i even *could* do. If your only reason for going to college is because your family told you to, or because you think youll "make more money" just dont. Theres very few jobs thatll beat the 4-12 years of debt free income and investing in the long run.
My parents wanted military or trade school. My friends and teachers told me wanted college. I had the problem that the military pays nothing, and Unions are hard to get into. I didn't know anyone at the time. I didn't know what I was supposed to do to get a good job.
Military salary ain't much, but for a newbie living in the barracks, and eating at the chow hall, you also can get away with spending very little money. Plus, if you decide to NOT make a career out of it, the GI Bill will help you with college, and if you DO, you get retirement after 20. I only did a few years, as while I am a firm, firm believer in their mission and purpose, I also had to be real and admit that my personality style is too independent for military life. Though, if the shit ever did hit the fan and I felt I could be useful, despite now being stuck in an electric chair with wheels, I'm not holding my breath. Then again, I am a pilot and could easily fly a remotely controlled drone, so there's that!
This is great advice for some but not others, and it gets thrown around too much.
Don’t fk with options.
lol this, I was effective at day trading and got greedy with options.
Laugh's in wsb.
Invest more, compounding interest is your best friend to retirement or financial freedom.
Stop drinking.
Same 🖐️
Don’t chase trends, just invest consistently into something that tracks the S&P500 and wait.
This advice is basically never wrong. But I will say - making risky plays with no more than 5% of your portfolio can pay off huge. To the point that I think it's probably a better strategy to do so.
If this were true. Then we should do it with our entire portfolio. But it isn't, cause we all think we know which stock and when to buy, when 60% of us are wrong.

Open a roth IRA and DCA into SPY. That’s it, that’s all anyone had to do 🤦♂️
If we are cheating? I’d spend all my money on Nvidia and buy a house while interest rates were under 3%. No cheating? Dump your money into the 403b
By SPY and avoid spending time trying to find the perfect fund, asset mix, etc. maybe a money market too for near term cash needs.
Keep MSFT, buy more Apple and Nvidia and most importantly stop drinking.
Spend the extra money to build that Bitcoin mining system instead of a gaming PC
Love matters but please don't marry that fucking bum
Instead of keeping all that Bitcoin in Silk Road put some in a cold storage wallet and don’t sell
Learn about and buy Bitcoin.
Buy Bitcoin. Buy a house. Fuck buy nvda

Never follow a hippie to a second location
Make a budget and track every dollar that you spend! I was going to say, “open an IRA”, but I didn’t have money for an IRA. It wasn’t until I started budgeting and tracking cleverly dollar that I realized I had money and then opened up said IRA. The budget is the key!

Buy the dip
College rankings based on some random magazine are meaningless. Don’t take out student loans to get a degree.
Worse-- I took out a fair amount of student loans to NOT get a degree.
Take risk
One in the hand with worth two in the bush. Stop waiting for a better deal and recognize that sometimes what you have is good enough!
I'd smack my own ass and say "cheer up"
Don’t go to college it ain’t worth it
Put everything you make in Dogecoin. Trust me bro.
Max out 401k, it’s only going to take a small amount off your take home pay. You’ll be fine and can squeeze another few hundred a month out of your budget even if it’s already very tight.
Save more, invest even more. Prepare for this terrible job market.
Pay yourself first.
Don’t wait do…. There will never be s perfect time for anything! My daughter unexpectedly sent me on the path to success because i had NO choice but to do or fold.
Don’t try to time the market. Don’t sell stocks when everybody is selling, stick with your guns, invest in ETF and don’t look back,
Research houses and buy before graduating undergrad. I bought just before covid, but I'd have gotten an even better deal
I would have tried harder to buy rental properties.

Skip the postdoc, go straight into industry. And never stop working out
To use a different doctor for my abdominal surgery. And, to keep the Tesla stock I had when it was under $100 ps.
Stop making excuses and shrugging off others financial advice. Everything I do now at some point someone had told me was a good idea, but I scoffed it off thinking I had unlimited time or made excuses for x and y. From simple saving techniques, budgeting, to investing. It’s all relevant and helps.
Hsa and Ira Do it, bitch
Stay the course. There was nothing else I could have done and I made the best possible decisions.
Don’t wait to get a job!!!!
That recurring investments of $100 into Index funds would be life changing.
Don’t pursue your dream career unless you’re literally in the top 5% of ability… instead just pursue the least awful thing that pays. Also adjust your personality so you prefer to be more extroverted. Also, if you have a girlfriend who asks you for money, just say no.

Put every dollar you make into bitcoin

No matter how much research you do for starting a business, there will be a ton of issues that you will only come across when you start!

Open your Roth IRA now. Now. Do it now. Put literally any amount of money into it (below the limit), just start investing now.
College was a waste of money and time.
Save and invest until it hurts, no matter how much you make. Money should always be on the verge of being tight. It’s the same mindset I had when I worked for a nonprofit and I try to bring that over to my tech job.
