It’s expensive, smells gross, and is 100% guaranteed to cause health problems. Want to be cancer-free at 65?
2. Stop Eating Crap Food
3. Repair or Maintain Family Relationships
Chances are you've come across ideas and changed in ways that mean you don't see eye to eye with them on many issues. But then - that's part of what a family can help with - to learn to get along with people you don't agree with on many issues
4. Stop going out in the sun without sunblock.
5. Exercise regularly.

6. Start saving money. Even if it's just a tiny bit.
In your 30s, the average person has a lot of disposable income, some of which can almost always easily be set aside for use later in life. Plus, building the habit of saving early means you'll continue it further down the line.
7. Learn to be content with what you have.
Happiness is what matters far more than worldly success, If you are content with what you have then you may be a bit less likely to end up a millionaire, but you will have a happier life.

8. Don't delay pursuing your life goals from StumbleUpon
Want to buy a house? Have kids? Write a book? Get a second degree or advanced degree? Change your career? Learn to play a new musical instrument? Learn to cook gourmet meals? Try scuba diving? Run for public office? Start a business and be self-employed? Then start today, It's easy to put things off. "I'll get to that someday." But it's really true that time starts accelerating as you enter your 30's, and it keeps accelerating. The time that you'll get around to those dreams should be now.
9. Get some sleep.
Use stellar sleep hygiene, a dark room or sleep shades will block out light. No bright screens before bedtime. Go to sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time.
10. Take care of your teeth.
Go to the freaking dentist already. Get your little cavities fixed as they come up. Unlike many body health issues, dental problems only get worse -- and things like crowns and implants are uncomfortable, time-consuming and expensive (like, close to five figures per tooth for an extraction, implant and crown). If you have a good savings and income stream, the bills won't be the painful thing -- but there's no getting around the pain and the time suck.
11. Collect memories instead of things.
You are the sum of your experiences. Don't wake up when you're 65 and realize that you've wasted life gathering possessions. Memories won't depreciate and can't be burned in a fire.
12. Give something back.
Give to others so you feel the goodness that service brings, however you give, do it with your full heart, soul, and effort. Expect nothing in return.
13 Be curious and do one thing that scares you every day.
"Get out of the house and have an honest-to-God adventure right now. Make it as big as you can possibly manage, take lots of pictures, throw caution to the wind, take on the risk, grab the brass ring. If possible, include someone you're close to - make a BIG memory. It has to be more than jumping out of an airplane - it needs to be measured in days, not hours or minutes. You'll still be smiling about it when you're old and creaky.
14 .Read at least 10 books a year.
"Gee I wish I spent more time watching TV and playing video," said no 65 year-old ever. Your brain never stops growing, so exercise it with media that matters.
15. Travel. As much as possible, whenever you can
"Traveling will change you like little else can. It will put you in places that will force you to care for issues that are bigger than you. It's about experiencing true risk and adventure so you don't have to live in fear for the rest of your life. And...inspiring others to step out of that fear, too.
16. Learn to meditate.
The list of benefits is endless, it only costs you a small amount of time a day, the change in your life and the people you love will be amazing. And compared to ten years ago, there are long lists of scientific studies to back it up."
17. Do you.
Stop comparing yourself! Start your path to self discovery right now.
18. Keep a journal.
19. Become a homeowner.
20. Take care of your friends
Choose people who make you feel like you already are your best self, who challenge you by their example, and who you genuinely enjoy, nurture them. Laugh with them. Be silly too. Contribute to their survival and enjoyment of life. Take the time every week to be in touch."
