The Advocate asked some guests for advice they would give to LGBT people under 40 as they prepare for the journey of growing older. From financial to spiritual to practical, here are 10 pearls of wisdom they offered.
Here are the top 3, but click here to read the full list.
1. "Stop chasing your 20s." "Respect your elders, and listen to them and the ones that came before you. Really think about the future. Don’t just think backwards, but think forwards. I think we’re so youth-obsessed, especially in our 20s and 30s. I’m happier than I’ve ever been at 30. I’m thrilled that my 20s are over." — Blake McIver (Bravo's The People's Couch)
2. "Get your finances in order." "The heart will take care of itself, but your finances won’t. Listen, research, learn, read, get everything in order, save, save, save, and invest as best as you can. Because no one’s gonna take care of us but us." — Carolyn Hennesy (You're Killing Me, General Hospital)
3. Don’t drink excessively or do drugs. "Take care of your body. [Substance abuse] is a huge problem in our community, and I think a lot of young people are really not taking that into account. They do a lot of drugs. They do a lot of drinking. And I think [a healthy lifestyle] is one of the keys to getting older." — Christian Taylor (Eye Candy)
