Looks great!

- call it a day and go hangout with women and read.
- sleep and repeat
Of course they had to work out a 'deal' otherwise both/all banking systems come down.
What about the people that don't want that help? I sure don't. My own psychological issues and state are my business.
Will the author inform their manager specifically about this line item or will she hope they can read her mind (or wave around that blog article before they hire her?)
Nice satire.
All he talks about are buying liabilities (pool, car, entertainment, renting, filling big house with shit you don't need).
Imagine if he talked about assets instead (ETF's, rental property, and starting his own side hustle corporation).
He's rich, but far from wealthy.
Why? Because I am the prize.
They should be happy talking to me, let alone kicking ass for them (and getting owned on taxes, working in some shitty open office, and regularly dealing with deadbeats).
Man I love remote consulting.
All results focused, much higher pay, tax savings (I'm incorporated), and can tell any client to fuck off whenever I want.
Working as an employee is like having a parent dictate your life.
Catered lunches, hackathons, useless toys and shit in the office, telling me how often I can go out, telling me how many "days off" I get.
I had a mother do that stuff for me as a child, which was lovely at the time.
You're a 30+ year old man, and you still need/want someone to feed you, dry clean, and bless you with X days vacation that you have to communicate upfront. Please.
I don't need anyone's permission to fly to an all-inclusive resort to swim in the ocean, eat great food, and kick ass everyday on my commitments.
Yeah,that's all your engineers need alright. Apparently clean clothes and a good nights sleep is not one of them.
To each their own.
A productive man is more likely to get married (He's a good catch)
It's a selection bias on the part of the woman (or man, not that there's anything wrong with that)
Higher value men are more likely to get married (He's a "good catch")
Start writing off bills like cell phone, internet, printing, write off a management fee. Basically using the property to lower your tax foot print (money saved is money earned)
Ideally buy a triplex or fourplex so it cashflows and generates a small, few hundred dollars a month.
Save the profits for a year or two. Travel.
I took that approach because I would rather wait a couple years and travel for years on end and knowing that my net worth is not taking a huge hit.
The choice was... do I want to travel now for a year and blow through my savings. Or do I wait a couple years and then travel for the rest of my life.
Another way to do this is to buy the house first, and rent it out while you are away on travels.
Worked on some side projects, saw different places.
Picked up light weight contract work (think... like 15 hours/month of website/app maintenance for $1500/month)
