I thought this would be a good topic based on the other threads lately. What Advice would y'all want to old farts give? This is what I'm telling my son.

Make your choices based on a long term plan. I consider myself blessed, but also the choices I made helped. God doesn't always save you from bad choices

First marry the most honest, wholesome woman you can find. Your kids will turn out better, character is somewhat heredity. I didn't do well my first marriage but I'm a quick learner.

Invest a lot while your young. Put it a way and don't touch it but don't be afraid to lose it either. Take some chances.

Plan and develope goals. Determine what's more important and focus on that. There will be ups and downs but anything worth having is worth working for.

When you and your wife are young put their needs and wants a head of yours. You're building something to withstand the storms of life. Theyll see your sacrifice and respect you for it.

1. The single, most important decision you will make is accepting Jesus Christ into your life.

2. When a person with no hair or gray hair speaks, lean in and listen and take notes.

3. Save money consistently throughout your life.

Great advice. I’ve done one of the three. I don’t listen well and I’m always broke.

Know the difference between a dating woman and a marrying woman. My son screwed that one up and will pay a high price for a long time.

Look a man in the eye when shaking his hand, and don't be sitting down.

Something that my grandpa told me one time..... He said "Son, you have to live life like you are a duck; always remain calm on the surface, and be paddling like hell underneath."


Yeah, well, I always heard there were three kinds of suns in Kansas: sunshine, sunflowers, and sons-of-bitches.

About the only thing I could add to that is to go ahead and go out West and hunt while you are still young and able. There is nothing like it and it is not an old man's game.

Absolute Gold!

I will also add... if you're thinking about marrying a woman you met in a bar or club, you may want to reconsider.

You have to be smart enough to know what you don't know and shut up and listen to those with more life experience.

One of the most important thing to know before you let testosterone get the better of you, if you are looking to fight know this; a young man may hurt you, but an old man will kill you.

If you don't understand that now, you will when you get old. For now, just know that it is true.


Lord, please help us get our nation straightened out.

Don’t sweat the small stuff. In the end, it’s ALL small stuff.

With regards to marriage. Keep the “we” ahead of the “me”.

Start putting the maximum allowed into a 401K as soon as you start your working career. Do it NOW while you aren’t used to making any money and won’t miss it. Do this until you retire and you will be able to have a very nice retirement. Add to this, stay out of debt as much as possible. Shiny new vehicles and such eventually lose their shine and newness so don’t waste your money on them.
