10 Things To Stop In Your 20s

The time is now for that quarter life crisis, but here are the things you should really stop doing...ASAP.

1 STAYING WHERE YOU ARE

Everyone has their “leaving the nest” moment. Whether it ’s after Form 5 or after graduating from the local U, if you’re in your 20s and have never stayed anywhere other than with Mum for more than three months, get your a$$ up and do it! Not only will that give you a lick of independence, but you’ll also learn the most valuable life lessons. Sure, they don’t teach you the important things at school like how to do your taxes or how to budget for living (well , turn to page 102), so go and live on your own. Always wanted to learn silversmithing? Book a three month course in Bali! Is your English impeccable? Consider teaching it in places like Thailand or Japan. The experiences will teach you more than you can imagine.

2 NEGLECTING YOUR MANE 

There is a reason why the word ‘mane’ rhymes with ‘main’. How your hair looks speaks volumes as a first impression, and people notice the RM10 barber cut. A little splurge for your tresses is actually an investment. Think about it — you drop a couple of hundred for a good cut and colour, and you’re set for a few months.
