#5: Spend the money on experiences– not things. Sure, there’s something to be said for fiscal responsibility. By all means make sure you can put food on your table. But when you do get a little extra pocket change, what do you do with it? Do you buy a new pair of designer jeans and a video game, or do you hit the slopes with your friends and share a pint on top of a mountain?
#20: Never grow up. Being mature is overrated. The term “mature” is becoming increasingly synonymous with “boring”. Fact is: slip ‘n slides, coloring with crayons on placemats at restaurants, wearing pajama onesies and drinking through curly straws is still fun.
