for those of you not young enough, it's still great advice. The best thing of these 8 things that I wished I had paid more attention to was nbr. 5, working too much. Nbr. 8 was almost an issue, but when I brought the large house back in 1980, it was very reasonably priced, but I didn't realize the amount of upkeep it would take.

Again, good advice!!

1. Not retiring early enough
2. Falling for the "siren call" of credit cards
3. Being impatient
4. Not working hard enough on career development
5. Working too much
6. Not prioritizing health from an early age
7. Not planning for retirement from the beginning
8. Buying too much house
