If I could restart at 18, I'd live in a van. I would have a my job that I spend 8-10 hours at, a gym membership to work out for 1 before work and 1 hour after work, the gym is also where I would shower and get ready every morning. I would enjoy nature walks and outdoors on my time off. I would spend time with family and friends on the weekends. I would do this until I could pay cash for a small home (it wouldn't take long.)
Now I'm older with a fiance and a child and it's ridiculously hard for me to get ahead, but I'm slowly gaining every month. I've been thinking about the different paths I could've taken and how it may have been different. I don't regret my life, I just wish I was better at being frugal earlier on.
