Most advice adults give you when you're young is actually right you just don't realize it until later.

When I was younger, I rolled my eyes every time I heard things like:

"Save your money."

"Take care of your health."

"Choose your friends carefully."

"Time goes by faster than you think."

I thought it was just generic advice people repeated because they were older.

Now that I'm older, I've realized almost all of it was true. The problem wasn't the advice it was that I didn't have enough life experience to understand why it mattered.

I think the real unpopular opinion is that the "boring" advice everyone dismisses is often more valuable than the motivational quotes and life hacks people chase online.
