Advice For A Teenager

[Spencer Reckles]

Let me introduce myself...

My name is Spencer, I'm a Sophomore in High School who has a desire to earn money through Real Estate. I've had surface level intro into Real Estate, both through research and through real life experience. One of my Aunts Long term Ex-Boyfriends was a very successful Real Estate Investor in my area and every now an then he would take me and show me some of his new and upcoming properties. I am however looking for a way to learn more about the real estate market as my goal in life is to become financially free by mid 20s... I have been in the stock market since I was 13 and have been working for nearly 6 months. I put about 70% of the money I make from work into a savings account invested in the VOO S&P 500 Mutual Fund.

I am hoping to find advice that will help me skip past mistakes made by more experienced investors when they were first starting out. Now I have a question for anyone reading this:

If there was one thing that you wish you could go back and tell yourself and/or do as a teenager, what would it be?

Thank you for your time.
