🎥 millionaireME Minute | Lessons from a 92-Year-Old Guidance Counselor

“You think you have time.”

That’s how she begins.

At 92 years old, after decades of counseling young people about their futures, she turns the mirror back on us.

And her advice isn’t about stock tips, résumé hacks, or productivity systems.

It’s about the scoreboard that actually matters.

Here are her ten most important lessons — and why they belong inside millionaireME’s definition of wealth:

Don’t neglect your health — especially strength. Muscle is independence. Strength is dignity. Lift now so you can lift yourself, unassisted, later.
Make more friends. Loneliness compounds faster than capital. Invest relationally.
Talk about death and money. Wills. Trusts. Durable powers. Accounts. Transfer on Death designations. Passwords. Personal property. Insurance policies. Avoidance is expensive. Clarity is love.
Retirement won’t save you. It will expose you.If work is your only identity, retirement feels like erasure. Build a life and purpose beyond your day job before you need one.
Enjoy your spouse while you may.Say yes to trips. Accept invitations. Don’t postpone joy.
Forgive everyone now. Pride and grudges are heavy baggage —too heavy!— for such a short trip.
Your adult kids don’t need your advice — they need your presence. Ask questions. Listen more. Trust them and that they’ll figure things out.
Write things down.Stories. Recipes. Pet names. Family lore.Memory fades. Written legacy compounds.
You will be scared. Of illness. Of loneliness. Of losing independence. But take heart: You are stronger than you think. Courage beats denial. Every. Single. Time.
The last 30 years go faster than the first 60. Decades collapse. PAY ATTENTION. You do not have unlimited time.

This is millionaireME in its purest form:

✅ Health

✅ Relationships

✅ Preparation

✅ Purpose

✅ Attention

You think you have time.

But wealth isn’t just growing assets.

It’s stewarding days.

So here’s the question:

If the next decade goes by in a blink…

what would you regret not doing starting today?
