Ladies! Whats something you learned later in life you wish you knew in your early 20s?

Question

Just some tips or tricks or advice you think I should know :)

Answer

Stay single. How to do taxes. Buying a house process. Savings for emergencies. Getting aaa. Setting up your w-4 properly. Zero, single and extra to get a better tax refund. One for federal and one for state. Establish and keep good credit. And not to allow your family or friends to touch it. Never lend money to friends and family you will never see it again. Never allow family to come live with you, they never leave and it’s nothing but a headache. Baby mama drama is not worth the headache. Make sure you date someone that has lived independently and didn’t go from their mothers house or the frat house to your house. That they know how to cook and clean up after themselves. Save yourself the headache. Make sure you date someone that knows how to manage money and not just clean out your bank account because they are always broke. If they are draining in anyway emotionally, financially etc they aren’t worth it. Never settle for less than you deserve because you don’t want to be alone, you are better off alone than in bad company. Never take a cheater back, they will eventually do it again. Never chase after a man or beg him to stay or love you. You deserve better. Never stay for the sake of the kids, everyone will be miserable and the kids would rather you be happy than everyone miserable. Break the cycle of abuse. Never stay where you don’t feel appreciated, jobs, relationships etc. finish college and high school, being popular and having a relationship, isn’t worth it. You will probably never see those people again and the relationships probably won’t last either. Focus on school and bettering your life. Put yourself first. Never stay where you aren’t wanted. Or over stay your welcome. Always call or text before you visit. Always knock on a teenagers door before you enter and give them a minute to say come in. If you can’t trust your partner then don’t be with them. Let a woman that just had a baby be, no one wants 50 people showing up at the house when you are exhausted and just want to get used to things. Always give them time and space. Learn how to fight properly in a relationship. You never have to scream and yell, nothing gets resolved. I can go on and on.

Answer

Save money, don’t spend everything on unimportant stuff that I don’t actually need. 
That I’m not fat!
That I can say no if I don’t want to do something.

Answer

Stand up for myself and not settle for things I know for sure I didn’t really want. 
I did several rubbish jobs, had several bad relationships, all sorts. And I learnt from it, I admit, and am better for it. But I just wish that actually I had got out of all that quicker, because I knew a lot earlier on, that I wasn’t happy in those jobs and relationships and didn’t act on it. 
So my advice is stand up for yourself and don’t be scared to do that!
