Many of our emails tend to come from MBAs and college students so we decided to compile a post of twenty rules that you should abide by in your twenties. Notably, we have each messed up on at least one of these rules in some form or another but if we could go back and become twenty again this is the blueprint.

Don’t beat yourself up too hard and good luck out there!

Unless you are rich you should begin with the following question “how can I efficiently maximize my results” that is how a minimalist thinks.
