Something I need to be better about. I let things bother me too easily especially when someone says something cruel or untasteful first, I just stoop so much lower and say things you should just never say to people and then I regret it later.
I've never had a group of friends our even acquaintances that doesn't do this. I think it was a defense mechanism because I'm tall and probably a threat
There was this guy at work that was making fun of me. I stood up to him and he stop. Later I lost weight, learning investments, and learning stuff that caught my interest. Later I caught him using one of my recipes for my healthy meals. That's when I knew whatever hes asking me for something he was not going to get from me.
College is good for experience and learning things to get to your next step be smart about it and make sure to stay physically healthy and fit great time to take up great sports and hobbies and learn outdoors activities to take with you if you didn’t grow up with this already. You can meet some great people
College is amazing. People underestimate how much it can spur your personal growth. But it's not worth it if you go into debt for it. You'll regret that - I know I do. Just remember that you can 100% do college without debt. There are a bunch of ways. And you can always do it later, there is truly no rush.
I loved that last one. I’ve been thinking about that lately. Just turned 29 but I remember just turning 21 like it was yesterday.. Sometimes You have to stop and smell the roses.
Haha fr i juss turned 17 a few days ago and didn't rlly have any major i was really passionate to get into my passion was football but we all know how rare it is to do that professionally and actually have sum serious money coming in so i looked up wat is a good career to go into and i landed on technology so that's what I'm majoring in wish me luck still in the 11th grade hope i chose a good career
1. Take care of yourself (you only get one body) 2. Give 0 F*&ks 3. Take (calculated) risks - don't be afraid to fail 4. College is not the answer, it isn't always the best 5. Slow down & enjoy life, slow your roll
College was a terrible mistake for me. I already had a business and was making money in my 20’s doing something I loved. I’m lucky I was able to attend college and exit with zero debt. But I have NEVER, yet, worked a day in what I studied. 26 years later... I hate my job, most of the time, but it pays well enough to support my values and allows my wife to stay home and raise our children. My advice, acquire skills that pay the bills and do things that you enjoy. Don’t compromise your values, ever.
I'm 24 and I think you left out one important thing and that is to take time to listen to older more experienced and wiser people. That's why I watch your channel and others like it. Keep up the great content and God bless ✌
I recently clocked 40 and one of my regrets is not starting an investment plan earlier on but it’s better late than never, I’m just going to try my best to make sure my kids start investing at an early age

If I had some advice to give myself when I was young it would be do some exercise everyday, always be kind, be thankful for each day no matter what, and trust that God is trying to help you become the best you that you can be if you would quit worrying about the future and live minute to minute.🙏
It's a message that needs to get out there. One of mine... Don't try to solve every problem for every person in your life. Most issues seem to work out to not really be issues at all. It was just our initial over reaction due to inexperience.
Very true. Sometimes just acknowledge that a person in your life is having trouble and validate them or recognize that life ain't so easy. You don't need to solve their problems and there's a good chance they don't want the help
@@rohithreddy75 listening to other peoples view of what my life should be. Procrastinating over small things. Not choosing to take care of what matters the most & making them feel second best. And many other things that only a conversation over coffee can I tell.
I don't think many people realise how important it is for older generations to give advice to the younger ones. These types of video's are actually more helpful than you might think
OK here’s older generation of giving advice to younger generation avoid that marriage scam and live the life you want don’t pay women’s way alimony is clearly a scam
Thats right, we should have taken better care of our body when we were young. Now excuse me while I go light up a cigar and pour me a couple glasses of whisky 💪😜
I’ve done things at jobs I’ve worked when I was in my 20’s that I am in my 30s now and god do I regret not slowing down and being a bit more careful in what I did.
Buckle up. 35 comes quick. Take advantage of that energy you have still. That thing you are putting off, for whatever reason, just do it. And take pictures. Memories really start to feel like treasure.
As a “woman of a certain age” (old) I have to throw in a little bit of a brag about my grandson. He is just now graduating from college at the age of 24. The reason why it took him so long is because he worked very hard in between semesters - sometimes taking entire semesters off - so that he could work and pay his tuition. As a result, he is graduating totally debt-free with a sensible (engineering) degree that he will be able to earn a good salary right out the block. Smart young man.
I’m 33 and boy let me tell you. Time past so damn fast as I’m getting older. A year feels like 6 months. I 100% agreed, college isn’t everything. I’ve learned more in a year, self learning than a whole full 4 years I’ve wasted and getting into debt in college.
@@buddah3418 It does really depends on what you study. I did engineering and I learned so much. I never stopped learning and that's part of the field though. I do agree by the time you turn 30 time goes by faster as you get into a routine of work, and free time habits.
Thanks for your list, Jeremy! I’m 35 yo and got a few lessons learned. - Be open minded and try new things. - Start saving for retirement early. - Think about the things your passionate about and pursue it. - Give to others... be willing to help.
Here’s a few from a 44 year old: No one is coming to save you You die alone so do you boo!! Being alone is amazing Be your best friend Give two chances and that’s it Take people for who they tell you they are Actions speak louder than words :)
For the college part I would say: Go to college when you are ready. It took me few years of working, travelling a little and trying new things to realize and take my time to research what I wanna study. I found a profession that I would have never known about if I rushed to college, it is more niche. I might finish my degree when I turn 30-31 but I am happy I didn't rush. I know people who rushed and they have bachelors degrees and are younger than me but are doing the same job as me and have no idea what they wanna do. People in USA often go to college for fun and the "experience" not really thinking about the future. I have also had chance to save some money and I will be debt free with a degree and basically having a fresh start but it will pay off. Go to college, but invest well, find profession that will pay the debt off.
Everything you said👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 too many people do go to college for the “experience” & fun & end up owing thousands in debt. I didn’t go to college & I do NOT regret it
Great advice. agree with each one, but the one thing that resonated alot was how time flies by, & how youre saying years feel like months, im 24 & the months are beggining to just fly by. i cant imagine it keeps getting faster 😅
He is spot on about how college is not everything part. This year I dropped out of college and began the real journey of my life. I 100 percent learned more in one year (this year) alone from research and videos then I did 2.5 years in college. Wish I could’ve avoided the lil debt but that’s where failures come in to learn from. I’m just greatful I didn’t wait my whole half of my 20s to graduate and do something Id hate. It’s an amazing feeling to chase success thru RU-vid and entrepreneurship💯 idk how I found this video but as a 22 yr old , lookin at your life I find this helpful and relatable bless up🙏🏾
- They tell you to go to school so you can go to college. - They tell you go to college bc you’ll get a stable job. - You get a stable job and now you work 9 to 5 doing the same thing till you die. What a sad life society has fostered :(
You could also put all your eggs into one passionate career, fail, owe child support/ be a single parent, and spend the rest of your life jumping between entry level jobs and unemployment.
@@ezzymedina8794 for me i wanna live a exciting dangerous life so i’m gonna go to college get my BA then after college i’m gonna be a SEAL then after that it’s where ever life takes me.
Currently 22 years old. Started a 401k at 21, investing 6% of every paycheck in Lowes Employee stock purchase plan, and currently going to set up a roth IRA. As well as attaining my bachelors in Business. Hoping it all pays off.
...dont invest that much into 401k. It was never ment to be an investment plan. Invest in other stock assets that have at least a 10% annual return. Have a diverse portfolio. Start this now cuz ppl are itching to go out and spend money they've been saving up during this pandemic. More ppl are going to travel after this pandamic, look into air and hotel stocks. Mor ppl are going eat out after this pandemic cuz they have been stir crazy...invest in resturant stocks. Etc. Look at what ppl did and bought before covid...and invest in that my dood.
There was a dude at the gym the other morning doing curls in the squat rack. At first I was annoyed but noticed he was curling what I was squatting, so I gave him a pass. Just this once. lol
28 now, crashed head-on with a truck while I was on a motorcycle at 26 😢 was in a coma for 3 weeks and lost movement to my left arm and leg due to nerve damage to my neck. Lost everything, but I found myself. I would add, read a lot of good books! you mature and learn to think. I recommend the Bible! even if you don't believe in God at the moment. Being Bible literate is important, all kinds of Wisdom, knowledge, history. Helped me a ton, and I probably wouldn't be in this situation if I had gotten to it earlier in life. It really is a Divine Book and you'll be surprised how much others draw from Bible knowledge, like TV shows, music, secular books, etc.
The bible has some crazy ass shit in it. Horrible atrocities. Dont know I'd you read all of it or just chose the good parts lol. Go read finance books. They will help you in the long run and teach you to appreciate and value things.

Jeremy Siers yep at 35 got into management someone took a chance on me !!! 5 years latter had 8 chemical plants reporting into me. Now I fly around the world helping clients start up world scale polyethylene plants. So you’re comments on not having to go to college/university is correct. I will be retiring most likely at 60 full time. So I tell everyone I’ve never owned a car over $30K and save save save. Owning the top of the line everything is just pointless, that money is better in you’re pocket than a sales guys!!!!!
21 is what you make it. 2020 wasnt bad because I didn't listen to people and lived my life the way I wanted to. Because at the end...strangers don't a shit about you and how you live your life. (...obviously not telling you to do anything illicit...) At the end it's you and your family. :)

Look, that "college isn't the answer" thing is cool for someone that has options, but I don't, my family doesn't have any money to spare, I'm starting from zero with absolutely no financial support from anyone other than myself and what I earn from work, and unfortunately there isn't any trade job out there that interests me. I started college with the intent to take as many math and science courses as I could, of course with my budget I have to take it slow. Earning my associates isn't really a difficult task, community College at worst is still affordable out of pocket. In all honesty the military is an attractive option for someone like me, especially after I earn my associates. I work at a restaurant, I don't want to be stuck at a low skill job like this my entire life. If I had to say one job that I truly desired, it's to be a pilot in the military whether it be the navy or air force, it doesn't really matter to me, but for that I need a degree, it's an officer position.
Just because your parents don’t have money doesn’t mean you have no opportunities. My parents never afforded me any crazy opportunities and never gave me any professional connections in life. I worked many different jobs, met many different people, and created and found many opportunities all on my own. I’ve gone from minimum wage dairy farming, to working in a plumbing union just because of the money, while there I ended up starting a business, left the plumbers union went back to farming, did warehouse work, then worked at UPS for a few years making decent money until now where I own my own business again. And even though I took a risk to do what I’m doing now I’m setting myself up to make the most money I’ve ever made my whole life. I haven’t watched the whole video yet but your comment about your families financial support is what drove me to write this comment. I think maybe he is just saying keep your mind open to different opportunities and don’t get stuck in whatever lane you’re in just because you got a degree. You are even expressing that same sentiment just saying that your degree is just a stepping stone to get where you may really want to be in the military.
Glad you realized that lol...I cring when I see ppl who are 40+ that think they're still 20. I'm like, my dood...wtf are you trying to prove? At least wait till those mid life crisis years hit you.
I just realized i am 54 and nothing feels much different than half my age. Not sure how to deal with this, am i supposed to act like an old man now ? Social identity did not change for me, can't imagine how that would happen.
I have almost 10 years of college education and an advanced degree that's been instrumental to my career. However, college is definitely not for everyone and I couldn't agree more with your advice. Taking risks and try new things until you find something you enjoy is soooo damn important. Cheers and congrats with your successful channel(s)!
Ha me too! One thing I wish I did was not listen to others when it came to my future or my personal life. People had good intentions but their advice left lasting consequences.
@@FerventReminder merry xmas, please how would you like to contact me as i cant explain and show you on here, facebook, whatsapp, instagram or zoom, i prefer zoom as i get to meet who im talking to lol, ill leave my details if you want, if your interested im not starting again till the 27th
It’s funny how the “college thing” varies depending on your country. Here in Brazil we have free higher education for those who qualify for public universities through their ranking in the national entrance exam. So whether you go to med school or study philosophy, you will be 100% debt free.
Yeah and many people don't give credit to this, wants to shut down the universities, while, for exemple, they are producing the vaccines to corona virus
Welpp, you are lucky man. Here in my country, college is considered by people is 'only for the rich' , especially like the medical school or the other science shit
Good stuff! I am in my forties and a lot of this is great. Definitely the don’t be afraid to fail. Just don’t be afraid at all. There is nothing on the other side of fear. Go out and do it. You only get one go around in this life. I will say education is very important. College might not be for everyone but learning is life long. If you don’t get a degree at least get certified or licensed in what you want to do. Society wants that at a minimum. Sad but true. For me, my big thing was starting a RU-vid channel through this pandemic. I have been thinking about it for a while and i decided to start it with my iPhone. I am getting better every day (thanks Jeremy for the tips) and it IS fun. I hope if nothing i can spread some knowledge and have fun along the way!
100% college is not for everyone. I had the opportunity to do an apprenticeship at 18 and potentially be on a 6 figure salary now. But, I followed the crowd, went to college and now I’m 36 struggling to make 19 grand a year in shitty customer service role.
Yeah, I'm 16 my parents are in debt, it sucks, that's why I want to live in a prius or van. I really don't mind, because I love the outdoors. Even if I was gifted a mansion, I would still pick the prius. It's the little things in life for me. I'm gonna climb mountains alot, and go hiking.
I don't mind these types of videos once in a while. They're engaging and insightful. Thanks for all the advice!! BTW, I like the beard and tats even though I don't have both. Sadly.
If you’re anything like me, and the "generic business degree” comment got to you a little bit.. I just wanted to say it’s okay to feel uncertain and pursue a safe option. Life is NOT one size fits all, and not everyone will discover themselves through travel, trade, or risks. - Whoever needs to hear this, you’re doing a good job and it will be okay!
I've definitely noticed how fast time seems to fly by as an adult. Approaching my 30s and the past 5 years seem like they've gone by quicker than the 10 years prior to that!
I'm in my twenties. And although I've experienced these tips through either my own personal experiences or from the experiences of others, it's a great reminder on the significance of staying focused, especially during these times of trepidation. Thanks for the vid. I've also been recently introduced to whiskey and bought my first bottle of Evans Williams Single Barrel from 2011. I'm curious as to what a whiskey connoisseur thinks about it.
Hey Jeremy - great video. I’m in my later 50’s and starting to look over the next big hill -retirement ? Agree with most of your points. I have 2 grown up sons and part of what I enjoy is helping them occasionally as young adults. I’m grateful for all that I have and I enjoy helping younger people at work get on a good path like I think I did. I too enjoy WR double - Oaked. God bless!
I loved when you talked about college, I agree a lot with you, I was lucky enough to know what to do for college, I had very bad professors and really good ones that have become colleagues and friends, but I saw many mates and family members that did not finish college or when they did they didn't want to work in that field and they had a debt. I agree with you that don't always have to go to college once you've done high school and also Vocational studies are great too. especially here down under. great video, I enjoyed it a lot.
Can't say how much I agree with the "slow down," thought. My teenage years were rough. My 20s, stabilized and fault like they moved faster. Only a couple of years into my 30s, and they feel like they are flying by. Whatever you have going on, good, bad, or otherwise, don't let it pass without notice. Also: Good whiskey selection. Woodford Double-Oaked is always a popular selection at the cigar bar I run...though maybe not as popular as a lot of the Buffalo Trace stuff (BT, Eagle Rare, Blantons, etc.)
I'm 68 and in my 20's I had grand parents, great aunts and uncles that had lifetimes of knowledge and wisdom for the taking. If only I had taken the time to talk to them.
You are spot on with this list...especially the last one. I’m about to turn 41 and also have three kids (15, 11, & 8)...and the time has flown by. I’ve had to remind myself (and continue to remind myself) to slow it down. Thanks for the video!
Living my life on my own terms got me single for 13 consecutive years... it's fine if you never want to have a family, but if you do, you better start complying to those pesky norms and listen to those "haters", especially if they keep saying the same thing independently of each other.
@@achille295 It was sarcasm. Obviously having a tattoo sleeve and a beard are nothing too extreme, but the amount of insignificant crap that can get you rejected by a woman is absolutely staggering. Trimming your nose hair for example is relatively hassle-free, but 21 year old me drew the line at having my monobrow or knuckles waxed. 21 year old me also said I'm not willing to put on a fake persona inside or outside just to become likeable for something that isn't me. 34 year old me is doing all that shit and more.
I’m 27 and Im glad I’ve came across this video. As much as I preach to my self about most of the things you mention and some times I’m rushing instead of just actually enjoying the moment. From one Floridian to another, thank you
Yeah you can. The more you allow yourself to be what comes naturally to you, the easier it will become. Don't worry about the haters. Most if not all of them are just pissed they don't have the courage to be free with themselves.
Rule 1: don’t have kids Rule 2: don’t get married Rule 3 choose your purpose over a woman Rule 4: don’t watch porn and don’t masturbate Rule 5: don’t be afraid to take risk you’re young I’m 20 years old btw 😁
I couldn't agree with you more every last word you said is absolutely true. Love the video just send it to my son, I've been trying to explain the same exact thing to him for years. Mom has a different idea so he's in college waste this time not knowing what he wants to do is life. Thanks!
"Zero f**cks given." I'd add, "...but never hurt yourself or others." A college education... I'd add, "...no amount of worthwhile education is time or life wasted."
I went the college route and don't regret it. But I also started super early and got out with no debt (also gave up my weekends and summers to pay for it) and it was definitely worth it in the long run. Agree with the overall point though, the expectation that everyone should go to college if they want to be successful is just wrong.
2:15 in gym time, the flag is in Greek '' ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ'' and means ''come and get it (weapons)'', words were spoken by Leonidas, the spartan king, when the persian king Xerxis ordered the spartans to leave their wepons and surrender. Love from Greece!!!
@@endiya. coming to the realization that life isn't all roses and sunshine, it's not like the disney movies you watch about princes and princesses, it'll beat you up so you have to be prepared for it
Very good advice Jeremy, if only most people received these nuggets of wisdom early on in life, perhaps the world would be a better place. More than likely this wisdom was NOT passed onto to them because the people who should have passed this knowledge onto to them had NO COMMON SENSE themselves. Logic is that you can not pass on something which you do not possess yourself. PS: I know sponsorship is important but the same or better skin routine can be accomplished without resorting to your sponsor's label.
I am about to be 23 and I've been suspended from college twice for bad grades. By the time I finish my bachelors I will have been in college for 8 years. I could have gotten an MD by then. Moral of the story. Don't go to college until you're organized and have a plan. Otherwise you will waste a lot of time and money. PLUS! School will always be there, your youth won't. If you have a dream go after it with everything you have. If your friends and family truly care about you they'll be happy if it makes you happy. And if in the end you decide to go back to school you will do it with a lot less stress because you won't have conflicting desires and you'll have more time, money, and life experience.
