Been asked to speak to a class, where the teacher is really keyed-up to prepare them for life. Any practical messages?

Just a suggestion, it may be a good idea to ask the teacher to try and find someone else.

- Be a faithful friend and husband / wife
- Dont worship material things
- Dont idolize celebrities
- Pray

Edit : Health wise ... stop eating typical American food.

If you can get a job that pays better than minimum wage (go into the trades), “pay for what you need, save for what you want”.👍

Travel a lot, don’t settle down until you are 30 at the earliest.

Get a job that satisfies you, so long as it pays enough to get by on.

Don’t talk politics and religion, unless it’s a deliberate setting. And never let either subject get in the way of friendship or sex.
