...and offer your younger self some advice, what would it be?

If I could do that, I'd tell myself to never pick up that first cigarette. :hunf:

Me too. That retirement check would come in real handy right about now.

I tried the college thing. Unfortunately, I developed Multiple Sclerosis. It played merry hell with my short term memory, and my ability to concentrate. Had to drop out. :hunf:

I would tell my younger self to invest $2,000 in that new company Microsoft.

100 shares of Microsoft would have cost you $2,100 on 4/14/86 when the company first went public. Had you purchased those 100 shares and done nothing else, today you would have 28,800 shares valued in excess of $1.5 Million. The dividends alone in 2015 were $37,152. Not a bad return on investment.
