Financial experts give advice to their 18-year-old selves

Interesting look at financial advice that financial experts would give themselves if they could go back in time and start over. Most of them say something along the lines of "start saving!" but a few have some surprising messages. I pretty much always thought you were supposed to be less risky with your finances early on but one guy says you can actually afford to be riskier at an early age. Shows what I know.

Where did you get this? Conventional wisdom was to keep 100-(your age) percent of your portfolio in stocks, because stocks are more risky and you have more time to recover when you're young.
