Eventually they all get what's coming to them.

"Next Monday, buy a Powerball ticket with the following numbers: XX XX XX XX XX"
"Don't worry about that class, you don't need it in life."
Winning lottery numbers is good and right after I won that I would go bet all the money on whatever long shot horse race I would win then take that money and put it into the stock market and double it everyday by day trading. Eventually I should be the richest man in the world and use my money to influence our gov't to actually make the world better for the everyday people like most of us are. Free college tuition for every one sounds like a good start:)
"Don't even think about wearing that again."
Go hug your dad.
Finish college, no matter how crazy it makes you. Invest in IBM, Microsoft and Apple. Pay close attention to your brother (who committed suicide when he was 14 and I was 19).
Get the BFA, no matter how hard you have to fight your parents. Stick up for yourself to bullies no matter how embarrassed you are. And buy Apple stock.
Ugh. Too much.
Also, education on good music, to not be down on himself, and invest in all the aforementioned companies.
"Dude, the future is amazing! They have phones where you can actually talk to people IN THE PAST! But it only works for 15 seconds, so I should probably tell you something about the girl you're gonna marry. She's got the biggest..." click
go tell mom to get a cancer screening, or she will be gone soon.

It gets better. Waaaaay better!
When the time comes...cut the green one.
Buy Berkshire Hathaway
Pre-Med... Not Computer Science.
That's all.
Buy Google/Apple stock
Stay out of A######'s bedroom window, it is not a good idea and stay thirsty my friend.
Take the Blue pill.
YES!! That bottle of Everclear IS flammable.
Beginner: "She's not that big a deal. Lots of girls you'll meet later are WAY better than her."
Intermediate: "Buy a lottery ticket on X day with Y numbers."
Expert: "Here are the premises of all the top selling movies between then and 2012. Here's a list of all the major world events that happen between then and 2012. Here's a list of all the major scandals between then and 2012. You should be able to get rich, become famous and blackmail some major celebrities with that."
Don't change any patterns of behavior due to my advice or I will disappear!
The winner of 10 years worth of superbowls.
@ganzhimself: Nooooo you'll be calling your 21 year old self apologizing for organic chemistry! :P
She'll never like you. Cut your losses. The girl on the Softball team. Now she has a crush on you. Go for it.
@prosperouscheat: It was still in the 30K range back then. You could buy one share. Maybe.
That a-hole jock that keeps bullying you? Yeah, he turns out to be fat, unemployed, and just an all-around loser. Congratulations, you won! Or will win.... You know what I mean.
RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK
Keep doing what you're doing. It gets pretty crappy for a long while, but it's worth it in the end.
@meh3884: My future self will need to call my current 28 year old self and apologize for Organic Chem...
Stop being such a coward. Take some risks, dammit!
@flyinggirl @moondrake @moosezilla: I'm officially a crying mess. Thanks for reminding me how blessed I actually am. So sorry for your losses.
As with what others have said, purchase stocks in:
Google, IBM, Starbucks, etc.
Don't buy the first house you're planning to buy, wait 2 years for the markets to crash, then re-buy that same house for 1/4 the price.
Oh, and get knee repaired when you're still in college, it's not "fine" and don't just "deal" with it.
"Hey, is your refrigerator running?"
"Start playing the lottery, pal."
Lose Weight! Thin people get further ahead than fat people. Save your money, learn the power of compound interest. That way you'll have enough saved that it won't matter how many times you lose a job during your working career, you'll have enough money to make it thru the tough times.
THIS IS A GREAT QUESTION, I keep coming back to see what is new that have not read yet.
College GPA matters - go to class - it helps!! Also the winners of the super bowls for every year in my early-mid 20's.
Thanks for the suggestion. Picking that book up for sure.
DO NOT have sex with that woman.

(msg to wooters: you will understand this tomorrow :D :D )
"When you're 18, you'll buy a '66 Mustang for $600. You'll have the money from a car accident you'll be in next year. Drunk running a stop sign, (he dies), broadsides the car, your back will be broken. You can't change that (I know you tried your damndest to not go on that camping trip with your parents). Don't sell the car for $50 when it no longer runs (that will be your biggest regret in life!), get it fixed!"
If you freeze yourself, you're going to die!

Practice the stinking piano!
