I would have made a decent career out of the military instead of wasting it like I did.
I also would have made better choices in female companionship.

I'm only 30 and I say find a savings account and save %5 ASAP. $5 here, $10 there, do that ASAP. Between 28-29, I saved $2000 and didn't miss a dime doing so. What I did was "shave" every pay check. Say I got $554... well I would "shave" down to the nearest $20 increment... so I would have saved $14. $540 went to bills or whatever. Occasionally I'd pay myself an extra "bonus"
$2000 isn't a lot of money, but it was cool to see how quick my savings added up.
Now I am in an entirely different (worse) financial situation that I am working on getting out of.
If you can do the military; DO IT! Especially if you don't know what you want to do just yet. Having necessities taken care of and a few bucks to save is a great way to start.
TAKE CARE of your health! I had a lot of drunken fun nights, but hangovers get old QUICK!
