What would you have really liked to have known when you were younger, that old age has taught you presently?

You have to start saving money young. I mean I am ok. And I’ll be fine retiring. But I’d be better if I knew to save more when I was younger
Don’t spend hours in a sun tanning like crazy. Ton of sun damage now |

Boy I could write a book on this subject! (And it wouldn't be a pretty one either.) What I wish I knew is not something specific, which may be more what you had in mind.) But I wish I could somehow have understood what a train wreck I was. Perhaps I could have done something to avert all of the damage I did over the years. I don't know what it would have been I could have done. There weren't the kinds of mental health services available back then that there are today. But perhaps there might have been something. I don't know...

Good ideas. Smarter investments would have been great to know. And to take better physical care of myself.

That I needed therapy to deal with my past and my low self-esteem as a result.

Not to be a sun worshiper. Never used sunscreen, burned and burned every single summer. Now I obsessively worry about skin cancer.

I’d have found, and stuck with, a good therapist. I used to think things that happened years ago couldn’t affect me any more. Turns out to be more like I downplayed in my mind how much of an impact things had really had on me.

@RoxanneToto I hear you. I thought I was doing things that were keeping me healthy but some of them actually contributed to more depression.
