Watch out for the new technology that will corrupt you, and all the new cobbled together vaccines that probably kill you.
Yes, letās create a generation that distrusts all vaccines and re-introduces old potentially fatal diseases like measles, meningitis, polio, etc. Great advice.

Advice to my 16 year old selfā¦
Vote to come out of the common market, itās a con to take over your country and destroy your industry and make you abide by EU rulesā¦
Donāt pay into a works pension, the government will take it off you in taxesā¦
Buy Goldā¦
At the end of 2019 remove yourself from society and avoid human contactā¦Mad scientists will release a dangerous virus (either intentional or unintentional and blame it on the Chinese) into the world and then make billions of dollars creating a vaccine, testing kits and PPE and you will be confined to your houses and be vilified for not taking the vaccines.
Learn to speak Russian and move there when your country becomes unrecogniseable.
Ah, but you now have the wisdom of knowing that thatās the case

First bit of advice simply amounts to you saying to your younger self āgrow up to think what I thinkā. Which is less some advice and more indoctrination.
Second bit of advice is plain wrong and dumb. Employer pensions are tax deductable, most often grow very well and are better than any other pension or saving vehicle. My stupidest decision ever was to duck out of the pension plan when I did 4 years working for BAe. That now has cost me about 6-7k a year. Who is so stupid to give up 500 pounds a month?
Keep quiet.
Choose your friends carefully.

Well yes Lincsā¦Itās my advice not yoursā¦ 
Donāt believe people who tell you that there would be ample opportunities in life. Thereāll only be a few. Itās crucial to identify the real ones and to make sure you donāt miss them. That may include being flexible and going for the second best .
