No honestly the first thing my parents did when i got out of college was buy me some finance books. These have helped more than anything to automate my savings. And since my younger brother just ventured forth into the world of working I've followed the tradition and purchased him some finance books. Highly recommended for anyone straight out of college with some dollars in their pockets... I guess if I had to change something i would have strived to be more of an entrepreneur while in college since i had much more free time than i do now to take those risks. David, I can't wait till you post this question in 2020 to see where you've helped me get. Thanks for all the advice, it keeps my honest. I would have invested in Apple lol…

It got me a return of 8.58% for the decade. I'll definitely take that. I’ve subscribed to this way of regular investing since I started my new job in November 2000.

Maybe if I had read financial blogs ten years earlier, I would be a little richer as well. If I could turn back time, I would definitely have spent my time more wisely and my money as well.

Then again, if you ended up saving more because you diligently invested when it was going down, that's not a bad thing either. $100 saved and invested to become $50 is still more than $0 saved.

No one bitches about getting a bargain. Only time will tell if this is a bear market, or the biggest bargain market.
