Become a contractors as soon as you get into PCs. No one else knew any more than you did, they were all making it up.

Buy more houses in your twenties. retire in your forties.

Buy more shares at the bottom.

Spend more time with your kids.

Don't smoke, spend more time getting fit.

Date more Blondes, french & Swiss girls when you were free. Still marry the missus.

1. Don't buy that Fender Stratocaster, buy a Fender Jazz Bass instead. The role of the bass player better suits your personality.

2. If a young women takes you back to her room you are in there. Don't doubt yourself.

3. You are a clever sod who can do acceptably academically without trying. That is not good enough, you should try harder. This will matter when you are in your twenties.

4. If you are going to insist on spending your whole time at university hanging out in the Student Union Bar, and you probably will, then realise that you will have to make a living from the people skills you learn there, not the degree that you are going to do unexceptionally at.

Stop, look, listen, think
Always use the Green Cross Code
Because I won't be there
When you cross the road

....the Wednesday after your 19th birthday, someone called Jeff, who you don't know yet, will offer you a lift home from the UMIST game. If you don't want to find out the hard way that you are not indestructible - get a cab.

Hold up....

There's a novel in there....

By shares in every internet company that you can afford, sell up 10 years later.

Reinvest it into housing, repeat.
