Things I did right:

* Tell the girl I had a longtime crush on that I was still into her. (Got rejected, then after a bit we dated, now we are married with a kid).

* Hangouts with friends playing D&D.

* Hangouts with friends sipping whiskey and talking about life and the world.

* Meaningful conversations with people I admired.

* Traveling Europe/Asia with my girlfriend.

Things I would do differently:

* Watch less TV/movies.

* Drink less at bars

* Spend less time arguing with stupid people on the internet

* I should have looked for a well paying job sooner. If i'm not going to love my job, I might as well maximize my returns. I saved a decent amount but I probably could have been making an extra 30k a year 5-10 years earlier. Investing half of that would have meant even more financial security now.
