My dad encouraged me not to buy a house with my at the time girlfriend and instead save my money and buy one on my own or with my brother.
Obviously I didn’t listen. Pissed away probably $30,000 and about 5 years of my early 20s. I should have listened.

As a kid, I was always fascinated – obsessed, even – with being an adult. Being college educated, living on my own, making my own money, etc.
My parents always told me, “Don’t wish your life away. Adult life isn’t as easy and fun as it looks!”
I’ve since learned that is a severe understatement.

That addiction and alcoholism runs in the family. I thought that because I’d seen what it did to them (and other family members), I’d be able to outsmart the addiction…Luckily, I was able to recognize the signs early on and get help, and nothing really got out of control, but I realize I’ve still got it. If you gave me a drink, I’d just not stop.
