Lets fantasize.... What if?

[Parks 788]

Let's see. 21 years old. Good job (= good pay and something I like). Currently have plenty of spending money.

I would stay in the job and continue to make money. Being single with plenty of expendable cash would allow me to buy the things I like and travel to places I want to see and explore. With a good job at this age it allows me to keep the cash coming in, contribute more to my retirement than a married guy with family, accumulate more vacation days the longer I am employed at said job. I would also invest in residential rental income properties with the intent of retiring at 40years old while living off the rental income.

OR,

Feel free to flame me on this but I would get as much cash as possible and pack my bags and head to Alaska to make a run at becoming the next Tony Beets. Yea, I know, the odds of making a living out of mining are slim but I think it would be fun to give it a shot.

Buy 40 acres that has great water resources and will allow for a partial earth home (Into a hill type design) to be built on it in the future. Plant 200 pecan, 200 apple, and 200 pear trees on it.

Fast forward 20 years and the wife and kids will appreciate it, maybe.

I lived it. Did a lot of traveling, moved every year at week 53, bought guns and ammo, had lots of sexy time... Became so accustom to it, never stopped... Haven't regretted it at age 30, though now I'm starting to think I'm gonna need some kids

I'd go to medical school and become a cosmetic surgeon. I'd put money back like crazy and retire at 45.

Corvette. Guns. Women. Booze.


That should about cover it.

 

[Phildo64]

Go to BUD/s. ..........Buy more guns! And then of course melt them down and make yard gnomes.

 

[Glocktogo]

I'd get a non-military career that would allow me to travel the world. I'd sock back enough money to buy a decent house on a chunk of land outright before I came back.

I was fresh out of A&P school. Probably should have went contracting over seas for two years, come home and build a house on about 50 acres and pay cash for it.

 

[AKguy1985]

If I had to do it all over again i'd go back to when i was 21 and tell me then gf to get freakin lost. Shoulda stuck with the one i was seeing in glenpool that had money but sadly passed away. Hindsight is always 20/20. And I'd spend more time with my grandpa.

What if you just turned 21, single, no significant other, good job, spending cash.

If this was your start, what would you do with your life?

Stay in the job, get one out there on the edge?

You haven't met your current spouse, you didn't already have kids. Your future was looking at you square in the eyes. What do you wish you would have done?

Lets have fun with this one, but you can be serious too.

I would have gone active duty instead of starting out in the National Guard where now it's like getting congress to realize how stupid their anti-gun leg. is to go active duty.
